30 Best Sushi Bars in Raleigh

“Made us something not on the menu and it was on the house! Waitstaff was very friendly :)“

“Very good food and friendly relaxing awesome etc“

“I have known about this place for a while and always enjoyed food here. I’m working on a project in the area near it and went to eat lunch there with my coworkers 3 times in a row ?. The food is always fresh and staff is great. One of the staff members remembers my drink order on the second day I’m there, right after I walk into the place. She is awesome btw. Everyone is super nice and food tastes great. Also if you go there often get a punch card and every 5 entrees you order the 6th one is free. My project ends this week so I’m sad I can’t go there for lunch again. But it’s worth 35 minute drive from Clayton from time to time. Highly recommend.“

“good food. sat outside, nice atmosphere“

“First visit with the kids and it was amazing. The staff were all great and the food was beyond amazing 🤩. I will definitely be back and will bring more people with me.“

“This place still feels relatively trendy, even though it's been open for years. Our appetizer, the nachos with ahi, was simply amazing. The sushi itself was good. And we were there on a Wednesday, which was half price bottles of wine, a nice surprise, indeed. Our server was friendly, bubbly, and very attentive. Overall, a really good experience!“

“Fast service. Lovely surroundings, beautiful carved tables and great good.“

“Love this place! We have been a few times and the service is always fast and efficient, the sushi is excellent and you can’t beat the price!“

“First off, Courtney who took care of us was wonderful the whole time

We had the Gyoza Dumplings which were great.

We also shared the hamachi tale sushi and double fried wings which were some of the best wings we’ve ever had (recommend the Spicy gogo flavor) and finished it all off with Ube Cheesecake which was absolutely delicious.

Can’t recommend this place enough ☺️“

“Excellent service and clean refined intimate Japanese atmosphere. Got the salmon sashimi (super), the ultimate rainbow, and the smoking salmon, which were all very good. The spicy hamachi was ok. Expensive side at $16-20 per roll because it's in downtown Raleigh. Great art shops around too.“

“Wonderful place for Dinner“

“Wonderful first time eating from Sushi Time Raleigh. Ordered online for pickup. Easy process, very friendly staff at pickup, and delicious food!! We had sushi rolls; hibachi, masaman curry, and soup. All were outstanding! And I love that they have BOGOF rolls! Can’t wait to eat inside!“

“Great food, good service & nice ambiance.“

“Good little sushi place and not too expensive“

“Ate lunch here today and our waitress was awesome and the sushi chief brought us 2 free sushi dishes to try. My husband got the fried fish and it was so fresh and good. They bring you out house made pork skins too. Wonderful experience. Will definitely be back! Highly recommend!“

“The Spicy crab with Sriracha was amazing. I'll definitely be back.“

“The food was could have been a lot better, but I wasn't good at making my own sauce, so it was didn't have much flavor....but the veggies and beef were good quality and fresh. The fried rice was really good.

Vegetarian options: Lots of veggies.

Wheelchair accessibility: Wheelchair accessible and handicap parking.“

“Everything the server crew was amazing“

“Amazing food and great service!! All that is needed is an ocean view. Best empanada, moist and flavorful. Great presentation and plentiful portions. Highly recommend“

“Casual spot located inside Transfer Food Hall. While it's a low key and Casual spot, their food is excellent. While drinks aren't shown in my photos, they also have fun and delicious cocktails. You can counter order or get service depending the time.“

“Was solid and Abby was a beautiful and attentive waitress.“

“My favorite place to buy Sushi!! It's not the fanciest place but the quality of the food is very good, which is what matters most to me. Staff is always polite and welcoming. I am and will continue to be a regular customer.“

“Ventured out from our normal sushi mainstay to try something new, based on something we saw on Instagram. It turned out to be a fantastic choice. Upon arrival, there was a buzz and you got the sense this was anymore traditional restaurant versus those that position themselves as trendy. There was an electricity in the air and the sound of a bell being rung whenever someone leaves a tip at the bar. We ordered the omakase. The chef personally came out to speak with us, explaining the courses, and asking about allergies. Then our journey began. We had six courses of 16 nigiri and 5 rolls the chef created for the evening. Every piece was a feast for the eyes and a treat for the taste buds. You knew it was fresh just by sight, but it all came together when you slid them in your pinhole. All in all, this was an excellent first impression. I will return and explore the menu. My only negative is very personal, because I'm a lazy driver and would prefer a closer location. Cheers!“

“The service was excellent. Our server was very patient. We went to celebrate our daughter’s 10th birthday and she and the kids took a minute to choose their boba teas. He did not rush us and was very kind. Our orders came out quickly and everything was correct. The ramen and gyozu were delicious.“

“Great sushi, drinks and atmosphere“

“My husband almost moved to Raleigh when we were engaged because of Sake House. Both our families & his job being in Virginia tipped the scale in that direction, but not by much. The sushi is excellent“

“The renovations are beautiful, including the cozy baby changing station in the bathroom. Awesome. They were great with us bringing in two toddlers and helped make it a fun experience. Seamus was our server. He was great with the kids, wouldn't let Dad clean the mess after, and was so helpful in ordering around a gluten sensitivity. The food was fantastic. Try the lychee martini.“

“Went with my mom for the first time all the good was good and the menu tells u clearly if something's raw or spicy but not what's all In the roll. They had K-pop playing as well it was nice and clean. At the end it was $60 for the both of us for almost 2 hours.“

“My family and I had our first dining experience at this restaurant last night and we were amazed! There was a wide variety of items on the menu and everything was great! The portions were big, the prices were good, the staff was pleasant and professional, and we even got a visit from the owner at our table. We will definitely be going back.“

“I've been a return customer for years. The young lady at the front counter was a sweetheart and greeted me immediately. The manager Jason was more than accommodating. The California sushi rolls add cream cheese and crab rangoons are my favorite. I truly appreciate the awesome customer service. I will definitely be back.“
