My go-to spot for traditional Japanese food! I usually get sukiyaki, Nagoya wings, and grilled fish when I come with family or friends so we can share family-style. The fish quality is consistently good every time I visit. Plus, their warm and welcoming service gives it that cozy local restaurant feel that I love. 🫶🏼

this place is the perfect mix of upscale and cozy without the high price tag. loved the vibe! the servers and host were super friendly, and the food was amazing. the menu is huge—i could’ve easily ordered everything. this might just be my new go-to sushi spot in raleigh. definitely coming back to try more. i’d recommend making a reservation ahead of time and dressing nice casual—nothing too fancy, just a little dressed up.

We have been looking for the best sushi in Raleigh. I believe we found it! Don't let the strip mall setting fool you, this sushi is fantastic. Our waitress and the host were lots of fun. We got the sushi for two, which came with soup and salad. Highly recommend! We visited on a Friday night and was glad we had reservations.

Sushi is fresh and authentic. Had the chirashi bowl, it was excellent and packed full of sashimi. Also highly recommend the tofu appetizer and tempura. Service was mediocre, a bit hard to get the servers attention even though it was not busy at all. Otherwise food was amazing. Would definitely come back.
