Excellent food, especially the $69 tasting, but the uramaki can be improved. Medium/high price.

Had an amazing dinner experience at the bar. Cocktails were really nice with lots of fresh ginger. I loved the steamed cod and mango twister roll. My husband had omakase and said everything was so fresh! I am definitely going to try the omakase next time. M sushi was our favorite meal in Durham during our weekend visit.

Celebrated our anniversary here. First visit. Exceptional experience all around. Glasses of Champagne on the house for the celebration. It was a nice touch.
The sushi my wife and I had was excellent! By far some of the best sushi we’ve ever eaten. I would highly recommend this restaurant for a date night!

Omakase as good as Japan, absolutely worth the price and the employees were so so nice, truly a top notch experience. ???

Dinner and a concert! Omakase awesomeness! And the uni, who doesn't love uni at m. Chef was first rate top shelf. Kim kept us flowing. See you soon in Durham or maybe even Cary. I love the “mpire”!

I went here around 9 with 2 friends before a show. Fantastic service from our server Ian. He knew the menu inside and out, answered all our questions, no matter how ambiguous. Guided us through several rounds, and even ordered for us when we asked. Each plate was exquisitely prepared, fusing flavors to delight the palette. One of the best sushi experiences I've had recently!
This would have gotten 2 stars but the sushi is outstanding. Small restaurant and felt pressured to order eat and leave as soon as possible.

I absolutely love this place. I have been here twice and I have ordered the miso soup, salad and special rolls combo. So far I have tried Futomaki and Rainbow sushis and both of these tasted great!

I've traveled all over the U.S. on business, always trying local sushi restaurants. This is one of the best I've had in terms of quality and authenticity. The sushi bar is long and stylish, but modest. The fish was fresh, and the sushi conceptions highlighted the quality of the rice and fish rather than drowning it in extra ingredients. This will be a great option to show visitors to the area, since it feels like a "best kept secret."
