Amazing, amazing, amazing!
We’ve been to Uwa Sushi twice and have been completely wowed each time.
Both times we had reservations and were seated immediately. The service was kind and prompt. The space is beautiful. It feels high end and modern. I love being able to watch the sushi chefs do their magic too.
But on to the best part - the food! Ah, there are still some dishes my family is dreaming about. First, get the tuna guac. The balance of textures and flavors...read full review

Finally!!!! GOOD SUSHI IN DURHAM! Don’t hesitate. This place is now in our heavy rotation of the best in the triangle. So glad they opened up shop. You have made the Durham food scene proud! Make sure you get the tuna guac. It’s like crack. Nigiri was on point. Beautifully prepared, fresh, and everything you’d want from a nice sushi joint. Thanks to our server, Jessica M for making our night even better with the great service!
It was our first time here, had a great time and enjoyed the food, service, and atmosphere.

UWA Sushi & Grill is a highly praised restaurant located in Durham, known for its high-quality sushi and Korean cuisine. The space is beautiful, modern, and upscale, offering a polished atmosphere that makes diners feel like they are on a fancy date. Guests appreciate the ability to watch the sushi chefs craft their dishes, adding an engaging touch to the dining experience. The service is consistently described as kind, prompt, and attentive, with staff often checking in and ensuring plates are cleared in a timely manner. The menu features a variety of standout dishes, including the tuna guac, which is highly recommended for its unique flavor and texture, and the black pearl sushi roll, which combines Japanese and French flavors. The trinity bite is a showstopper, offering a memorable taste experience despite its price. Other favorites include shrimp jeon, wagyu bibimbap, and the Korean dishes like bibimbap, ssam, and bulgogi bowl, all praised for their freshness and flavor. Desserts such as sesame ice cream and yuzu crepe cake are also worth trying. Drinks like the Yuzu Blossom cocktail and Shiso Mojito are enjoyed, though some find the atmosphere loud and the bathrooms less maintained. The restaurant can get busy, especially on weekends, and parking may require a bit of planning. Despite occasional noise and minor issues with cleanliness, UWA Sushi & Grill remains a top choice for those seeking high-quality sushi, creative dishes, and excellent service, making it a standout in the Durham food scene.
