“Finally got the chance to dine in during peak hours and was very impressed with the experience! Most folks probably don’t think twice about the miso soup that comes out as the appetizer, but for me, it’s so rare to find a place that actually makes it correctly and flavorful—they nailed it and my picky kindergartener slurped up every drop with approval. ❤️ Also of note, I’ve found most sushi places don’t put enough vinegar/sugar into the sushi rice to get that authentic flavor. They nailed it again. It was like my mother was in the kitchen cooking food for me and my family. ❤️ They were incredibly busy, understandably so, but every single one of the staff we interacted with (from wait staff to sushi chefs) was attentive, pleasant and kind—which is also rare to find in general, but especially for such a fast paced environment. Thanks to the management and all of the staff who made our experience so enjoyable. Can’t wait to go back for seconds. ❤️“
“The food was excellent and the staff was welcoming and pleasant. This is a cozy, comfortable, and clean restaurant. I will definitely be a repeat customer here. The portion size is very satisfying. This is one of the best sushi restaurants I've dined at.“
“This was a wonderful location for a celebration. The service was good. Nothing over the top, but everyone was pleasant and knowledgeable. The restaurant is a calm, intimate environment. Being greeted with champagne at the table was a definite perk for our anniversary. All of the food was excellent, from the bread to the entrees.“
“This is my favorite place for ramen. I've had several ramen dishes with all being very good; never disappointed. Their shrimp bao buns are also great. Customer service is awesome always a pleasant atmosphere. This is a must go to, you won't be disappointed.“
“Very good sushi, good atmosphere, great lunch deals, don't go there in a rush - food takes a minute to arrive.Recommend : Fire Ball roll, Hawaiian roll, Carolina way, and the Tom Yum Soup, and sashimi.Also good : shrimp wasabi roll, ultimate salmon roll, and fresh off roll - a little difficult to taste the difference between them.Csn skip: fried gyoza.“
“This is the best sushi spot. Hero is very kind, staff are attentive. You have to be smart about when you come in to get the best service; it will always be slower when it’s busy anywhere you go. The atmosphere is great - it feels very homey and warm. And the tuna melts in your mouth. I go whenever I can, and you should too.Vegetarian options: I bring my vegetarian friend here and he’s pleased with how the menu is clearly labeled, and has multiple options.“
“This is a spot I can’t wait to visit for the second time, wish there was a location in Greensboro. Even just the concept of all you can eat sushi from a conveyer belt. I loved it! Many sauces to choose from, unlimited soup and fountain drinks. My favorite part was the display above your table where you can order sides and dishes such as steak hibachi, wings, crab rangoon (YES), and much more all included. The sushi was delicious, I’m not too picky. The staff were very friendly and thankful for us choosing to dine here. Will be visiting again when I am in town!“
“Pretty good food. We ordered take out - which was a bit more difficult than most. The phone number on their website and google was the same but when calling it, it wasn’t accepting calls and went to an odd message/recording.Perhaps a glitch the night we ordered?The food was good but the ordering process was a little challenging. Couldn’t call the order in, ordered on line but had limitations on how to customize or request things on the side.Upon pickup I asked the hostess if the hibachi comes with miso and salad and she said “yes”. When arriving home we didn’t get the miso soup or salad.Good food though - no rating on atmosphere since I did take out.“
“We go there frequently. Great lunch and dinner options. Casual and not usually too busy (though Friday and Saturday can be pretty crowded). I've tried lots of their sushi rolls and all of them have been good. Favorite dish however id their Dol Sot Bi Bim Bap. The miso soup is great and the ginger dressing on their salads is as good as any I've had. Also, the fried pork Gyoza are a great appetizer. Some Japanese beers, and a local beer too. Most every beef and chicken dish has a soy option if you eating vegetarian.Vegetarian options: Several vegetable dishes and vegetarian options (soy) in place of chicken/beef/pork.“
“It's my favorite sushi place in the triangle! There are so many great options, and it's always buy one get one free. Staff is always friendly and prompt. Make sure you check the days they are open because we went one time and they had changed them and were closed but that doesn't take away from the food. The food is amazing.“
“We love this place! Bogo sushi rolls, hibachi, delicious range of entrees, appetizers, and soups. List of assorted tea's (theres an organic option ?), house crafted cocktails, such as the goldfish bowl sized tropical concoctions, we had to try, but I can't remember what they call it lol wonder why. Imported, local, and some generic commercial brands for beer and wine. The local ginger beer I had last time was worth mentioning and recommending, for sure! Parking and inside the restaurant are pretty spaceous(maybe good for large gatherings). The interior design details are asthetically pleasing but not too distracting. I haven't done my research on this part, but since they're located next to a local farmers market, I'd like to think they have access to some of the freshest ingredients as well. All of the food and drinks we've had here have been absolutely fantastic, my compliments to the mixologists and chefs ?“
“Alright, let's give Kurama its moment in the spotlight! While Kanki may have its loyal following, Kurama has some shining qualities of its own.First off, Kurama's food? It's like a flavor adventure waiting to happen. From their sushi rolls bursting with freshness to their teriyaki dishes that hit all the right notes, Kurama knows how to please a palate.And let's not forget about the ambiance. Stepping into Kurama is like stepping into a cozy corner of Japan, with its charming decor and inviting atmosphere making you feel right at home.But perhaps Kurama's greatest strength lies in its staff. Friendly, attentive, and always ready with a recommendation, they go above and beyond to ensure that every dining experience is a memorable one.So, while Kanki may have its perks, Kurama holds its own as a delicious destination worth exploring. Who knows? You might just find your new favorite dish hidden among its menu offerings!“
“I always rave to everyone I know that Sushi Love is my favorite sushi restaurant in Durham. The sushi is awesome, the prices are honest, the drinks and saki selections a great, and the variety and I trigue of their offers in the sushi menu are above par--they have everything from traditional style, delectable sushi to fun and intriguing and fun new styles to try + a wholeeee menu of awesome Asian appetizers and dishes that fit every guest dietary preference/need/desire. Though we normally go there for the sushi ? I also love many of their non-sushi dishes and apps as well. The place is always packed and busy, a good sign and testament of killer yummy food. I have non-jokingly asked the staff and manager many times to please please please open a new location in North Durham so I can come eat more often ?☺️.I worked in restaurants my whole life until I graduated college, it is very hard work to work in and/or run a restaurant, to wait tables, to be a food runner and busser, dishwasher, and to be a bartender, which is what I did from age 21-32. I loved the work, even though I know and remember it is very hard work. It is often underappreciated--the labor itself but also the skills you acquire and master in this industry. Our waitress on our recent visit was great--super attentive, friendly, personable, and helpful. Overall we experienced (and always do here) great** service. She was awesome and when we mentioned how kind the manager was to us during our dining she said 'yes she is such an amazing boss and person, I love working here!' and I have to say, I worked in restaurants up and down the East Coast as well as in Italy..... and I can only say I had that feeling at only two restaurants I ever worked at....out of like 15 places at least over the years. I had two restaurant jobs where I knew my boss and/or the owner was a good person who cared about the work and the guests and who cared for the employees. It is a rarity in our world: having a restaurant with great food, great staff, *andddd* an amazingly good person running/owning the restaurant. A super rare thing. I really really respect that ?? and am grateful we met Jane during our recent visit and to find out that the owner and manager of one of our favorite spots that we have been patrons of for a couple years now is like that: a good person, who *cares*, it really makes the food and drinks taste that much better, sincerely .We will continue to be patrons and keep hoping ? that one day more Sushi Love locations nearer to North Durham will open up, but either way we will keep loving Sushi Love ? ??“
“This is a nice sized Chinese buffet with a noodle bar, hibachi, sushi as well as the traditional Chinese staples. It did lack general tso chicken and black pepper chicken. The service was good and plates did not stay on our table. The hibachi grill was good. I only got vegetables at the grill so I cannot speak for the meats. The fried shrimp was different as it had butterfly and shrimp with the hull attached mixed together. So it was fried and by the time you removed the shell there was no shrimp. The fried chicken wings had a very good taste. The salmon had a very strong fishy taste but looked so appetizing. Overall most of the food I had was to my liking. The service was excellent and my cup never got empty. I would return if I am in the area.“
“This place is absolutely fantastic! Their tonkotsu ramen is one of my favorite ramen, hands-down - incredibly delicious! The owner is extremely kind and personable. I was on shift while getting food and he personally came and helped with my order - going above and beyond. I cannot recommend this place enough!“
