Don’t be fooled by the outside appearance, this is one of the best sushi spots in the state. The nigri is awesome, huge portions of fish and the rolls are incredible too. Great place for a date night, just make sure you get a reservation as it’s an intimate environment so it can fill up fast

Hidden gem alert! You’d never expect to find top-quality sushi inside a gas station, but this place is outstanding. Super fresh fish, expertly prepared, and a cozy, intimate vibe that makes it feel like a local secret. Every bite was melt-in-your-mouth good. Authentic, high-end sushi without the pretentiousness — absolutely worth the stop.

Had date night there last night. It was our first time visiting. It was magical!!! We can’t wait to go back.

Best sushi in the Triangle

Seriously one of the only 10/10 restaurants I’ve ever been to.

Tonight we came in around 8:15 PM and were told it would be about a 20-minute wait—the place was poppin’ (as it should be). But we were warmly greeted and seated in less than 5 minutes.

I could go on and on about how fresh the food is, how consistently good everything tastes, and how clearly hard this team works. Everyone here deserves the kind of amazing service I’ve experienced every single time I’ve visited.

This is my third time here in the last 10 days—and it absolutely won’t be my last.

Definitely one of the better sushi bars in the area. I tried their South Beach and Spicy Salmon rolls, which were both really good. I also had their rainbow roll and it was decent, but nothing special.

The service, ambiance, and presentation were all good and I can't wait to go back and try more rolls.

You say sushi I say Yes please… love me some nice sushi and I am always trying new places, went here for my birthday and people… THAT WAS A BIG YES, I mean, large pieces of fish for the sashimi, rolls were average but their fish is so fresh I couldn’t believe it. It is worth the drive, it took me a good 30 minutes to get there.
It is a bit confusing because all you see is the gas station but it is right next to in the same building. Small place BIG FLAVORS.

A great spot with delicious sushi. I loved the sashimi and nigiri and upgraded to the premium fish. Friendly staff and unique spot. I went a second time it did not disappoint. It's a small venue so reservations are recommended or get there early before opening to get a seat. Definitely worth the wait!

Went there for dinner and had really good food. Everything was amazing. Tuna tartare was perfect with avocado and crackers. We loved the flavors of spider roll. Phat boy was rich and yummy. Otoro Nigiri just melted in my mouth. Green tea cheesecake was perfect to end the dinner. Had to wait for 30-40 mins to get seated. This place is small with maybe 10-12 tables. If you are more than 2 people it will take more time to get seated. Service was great and staff very courteous.

Service was wonderful but the food was not great. Sushi didn’t have much flavor and overall just not great. Much prefer a different sushi restaurant in the area. Atmosphere Is crowded and could overhear everyone’s conversations which is not optimal for a date night.

Love this hole in the wall type of feel. It's attached to a gas station so they quirkily call it "gas station sushi." The food is excellent 👌🏻
