22 Best Sushi Bars in Durham

“Made a reservation here a week ahead for a special occasion and was super excited to try it out. Our reservation was for 8pm and we arrived fifteen minutes early and didn’t get sat until around 8:30-8:45 but Being that I also work in the food industry and it’s Covid times, I didn’t see it as a big deal. I do wish I had snacked before hand though! They did send edamame to our table for the inconvenience once we were finally sat though which was a super nice and unnecessary gesture. Also, the ambience is lovely and super romantic. The best sushi I have ever had. So light and flavorful. We even got some dessert and I have to say the mochi doughnuts were to die for - I wish the chocolate sauce for dipping had been dark chocolate but that’s my personal preference. The only negative thing I have to say is it is a little pricey so it won’t be a regular spot for me personally but definitely a place to check out for special events or date nights.“

“I had a fantastic experience at Sushioki in Durham, NC! We tried the spicy tuna burrito and the HoeDeopBap burrito, and both were absolutely delicious. The fish was incredibly fresh, and the flavors were spot on. The service was excellent — the staff was friendly and attentive, making the whole experience even better. I highly recommend Sushioki for anyone craving a fresh, tasty sushi burrito in Durham!“

“The food was amazing!! It tasted so fresh and the flavor was phenomenal. The price was really good too considering the portion sizes that were given. We were both able to take home our leftovers for a second meal. The staff were also just so friendly! Will definitely be going again.“

“Genji is a sushi station in Whole Foods. So you have to purchase what has been made. Sushi master who is a vey talented, knowledgeable person can also take orders. However this is mostly is a one man show. If he is not busy he can take specific orders. I love his work. Rice is perfectly seasoned, fish is fresh.“

“I love this place! Friendly staff and great food. Best restaurant for hibachi and noodles that I’ve found in Durham yet.“

“There FOOD is amazing. And gluten free sauces. If you have never had POKE try here first. You’ll be hooked. And Janet is the best!!!!“

“Loved Peony Asian Restaurant! The steamed dumplings are delicious, the soups are rich and comforting, and there are so many great dishes to choose from. Definitely recommend! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐P.S.Come to Dallas, TX!“

“The food is superb. Im not sure how healthy it is but the flavor is worth it. I would give 10 stars for the staff if I could. The lady who I believe is the owner is so wonderful. No matter what’s happening she’s always treated us so well.“

“Good service. Staff very friendly“

“We love Akashi. The staff is so friendly and our orders are always perfection. We typically order an app (soft shell crab or fried squid legs), sushi (spider roll & shrimp tempura roll) and hibachi or ramen :)“

“Good food, It is best darning experience.“

“Excellent variety and quality at this price point. FIRST!! ++10 for sanitary and hygiene measures, plated sushi and Nagiri are on the conveyor belt BEHIND a plastic enclosure for viewing, and then sliding doors at your table, so that's 👌🏼 👌🏼!
Side dishes and entrees can be ordered from a separate screen above, at your table, ALL freshly prepared. 4-6 pieces per plate on the conveyor belt so you can (and should) sample responsibly, they do replenish promplty. Great variety so you know you'll be back.
Sauces, water, sweet treats and sides in the back (pictures on the wall). Perfect for a dinner, families or even a date.
Great concept, great sanitary measures, great tasty variety, go check them out !“

“Delicious, good quality all you can eat sushi for 24.00 a person!! Hoping the quality stays high!“

“A part of my order was not delivered, although I ordered on their direct website. when I called to ask for a refund, I was told that they would not do so because they are only responsible for making the food. Noone offered to contact the driver service to rectify. Instead, when I mentioned that I could only choose to not use the restaurant again, I was laughed at. Very unfortunate. I used to greatly enjoy this location. UPDATE: The restaurant reached out, apologized, and are doing what they can to make it right. I appreciate the follow up, and I totally will go back. The food is good, and they are one of the few places in that part of Durham that isn't a chain.“

“The cuisine is beyond delicious and flavorful and fresh it’s appealing to the sight and fragrant to the senses“

“good location, easy to found the resto n many choices“

“I can always count on China Buffet to feed my family after a long day of work when I don’t want to cook. Customer service is great and it matches the yummy food! Will always be back- every 2 weeks 🤪 one of my fave dishes is the jalapeño chicken! Gotta try it!“

“I ordered to go and waited. The place was beautiful and the sushi is good! It’s way better than $5 sushi at Publix and any other sushi spots I have tried in Cary/Raleigh/Durham. I didn’t wait long either. I’ll be back to try it again when it’s half off Tuesdays and Thursdays.“

“Loved it!“

“Love this place! Customer service is great, and food is always delicious and affordable. I’ve been a regular for years now and each time the owner sees me, she greets me with a smile. The owner genuinely loves every customer and remembers everyone. This place has always been a go-to spot for me anytime and will remain to be.“

“If you want some fast/hibachi come here! Who cares about the area ,or if people hanging around outside. Get your food and leave! I'm from Jersey the best food come from not the best area's. I enjoyed my crab wonton's;steak& chicken hibachi .They definitely cooking with flavor unlike some places.“
