“I finally tried Shijiri Sushi Bar and it was definitely worth the hype. The fish was so fresh and you can really taste the quality in every bite. It’s a small, intimate restaurant. The staff are incredibly friendly and attentive. Something unique about this restaurant is that there is no tipping, so you can enjoy your meal without having to think about adding 20%+ at the end. The whole experience felt simple and enjoyable. It’s one of those places where you can tell they really care about what they’re serving. I’m looking forward to coming back!“

“This was one of the best places I've ever went to for ramen! The ramen was so good, the portions are big but not impossible to eat in one sitting. I tried my first ever Bao bun and it was also incredibly good. However the best part was definitely the environment and employees. The server we had was so sweet, she took time to explain certain dishes to me. When I asked about what certain ingredients were because it was so good, she went through and explained each one. The other employees were also super nice! I'm surprised this place didn't have more business.“

“Ramen and sushi were both outstanding! Prompt, friendly service. Highly recommend!“

“Amazing vegetable flatbread and farro salad! Great selections too!“

“Fresh and delicious food, especially the sushi! Would highly recommend having lunch or dinner at Kashin!“

“Excellent experience. Celebrated a milestone anniversary and splurged with the 9 course Grand Omakase. Each course was excellent, sushi was of the highest quality, presentation was top notch, and service was excellent via our server Jefferson. Restaurant is on the smaller side and seating is a bit tighter than I prefer, but overall an excellent experience. Looking forward to visiting again and trying the other M reataurants.“

“Ordered Crazy Salmon and Rock and Roll. Both turned out great.“

“Pleasantly surprised at how good my lunch was today! At first I thought the menu lacked variety but the quality and taste really made up for it! I ordered the hibachi steak lunch and a side of miso soup and it was made Fresh! The veggies were so crunchy and the steak was cooked just right. The miso soup came boiling hot and everything just tasted not too greasy. The portion size was large enough for me to have leftovers for the next day. For $14 you can’t beat it. Highly recommend to check them out! By the way the decor is adorable! Super instagram worthy and it’s a husband and wife shop too!“

“I love this place. Food is excellent serve is good. atmosphere is good .It is clean . The ladies restroom is clean but one of the toilets has p*** on the side and its been that way for at least 3 weeks.“

“Hibachi 88 is a great little spot! I noticed a lot of people come in for takeout but they’re really quick with the orders. The food was hot, fresh, and tasted pretty good. You can get chicken hibachi, your choice of soup or salad, and a drink for only $15.“

“Best sushi in Raleigh area hands down! I miss the Korean menu items but understand Covid and inflation makes it hard for small businesses to not change and adapt! We drive forty minutes for the sushi too!“

“I highly recommend this Japanese restaurant. I walked in and was immediately greeted with a smile and was welcomed in to eat☺ The ambience is so beautiful and relaxing. Nice soft music 🎶, delicious food !!! Reasonably priced too! Even my waiter was very happy to serve me, which is the way, customer service should be…especially when you are paying your hard earned money 💰“
