“Pokeburi catered for our private event at the Raleigh Game Show and it was fantastic! We had make your own poke bowls and everything was so fresh, delicious, and beautifully prepared. Everyone loved the food and it was the perfect option for a group celebration.

Poki Burri also made it everything incredibly easy by including all the utensils and everything we needed for serving, which was so appreciated. Great value for money, and such a healthy catered dinner option that feels a little different from the usual event food.

Highly recommend Poke Burri for any catered event!“

“Went here with my partner earlier tonight, we were served by Danny, he provided one of the best dining experiences eating at a restaurant either of us have ever had. The food itself was absolutely phenomenal and the pricing was justified with how fresh the ingredients were. We will absolutely come back, thank you to Danny and the chefs for helping create such an amazing night for us.“

“I am so glad they have this location because the last one I visited was Charlotte and was bummed it was so far away! I cannot recommend this place enough, the sushi was phenomenal and especially the “build your own roll” was a wonderful thing to get to try! The decor is very fun, vibe in general is very upbeat, and the server was very friendly and helpful with suggestions. Will definitely make another visit when I’m in the area.“

“Fast service. Lovely surroundings, beautiful carved tables and great good.“

“Will never fail to recommend Sushi Nine. Staff is the absolute biggest selling point here. Everyone is so kind and relaxed and it’s really great seeing how well treated everyone is. Second is obviously the food. The BOGO is always my go to, but their other menu items are excellent. It’s my constant in life and I really am appreciative of how Sushi Nine is always there for me“

“Wonderful first time eating from Sushi Time Raleigh. Ordered online for pickup. Easy process, very friendly staff at pickup, and delicious food!! We had sushi rolls; hibachi, masaman curry, and soup. All were outstanding! And I love that they have BOGOF rolls! Can’t wait to eat inside!“

“Top-tier sushi. The sashimi chef’s choice was melt-in-your-mouth fresh, and the spicy tuna dynamite roll had insane depth of flavor. Even the green tea crème brûlée was on point. Quality, technique, and flavor all hit. Easily one of the best sushi spots in North Carolina.

“Amazing food and great service!! All that is needed is an ocean view. Best empanada, moist and flavorful. Great presentation and plentiful portions. Highly recommend“

“The service was excellent. Our server was very patient. We went to celebrate our daughter’s 10th birthday and she and the kids took a minute to choose their boba teas. He did not rush us and was very kind. Our orders came out quickly and everything was correct. The ramen and gyozu were delicious.“

“Was solid and Abby was a beautiful and attentive waitress.“

“Great sushi, drinks and atmosphere“

“Ventured out from our normal sushi mainstay to try something new, based on something we saw on Instagram. It turned out to be a fantastic choice. Upon arrival, there was a buzz and you got the sense this was anymore traditional restaurant versus those that position themselves as trendy. There was an electricity in the air and the sound of a bell being rung whenever someone leaves a tip at the bar. We ordered the omakase. The chef personally came out to speak with us, explaining the courses, and asking about allergies. Then our journey began. We had six courses of 16 nigiri and 5 rolls the chef created for the evening. Every piece was a feast for the eyes and a treat for the taste buds. You knew it was fresh just by sight, but it all came together when you slid them in your pinhole. All in all, this was an excellent first impression. I will return and explore the menu. My only negative is very personal, because I'm a lazy driver and would prefer a closer location. Cheers!“

“My favorite place to buy Sushi!! It's not the fanciest place but the quality of the food is very good, which is what matters most to me. Staff is always polite and welcoming. I am and will continue to be a regular customer.“

“Great food and excellent service and all you can eat for under $20“

“Great patio seating that is dog friendly with reasonable prices for sushi! The menu was delicious from the foie gras and uni and hamachi Kama appetizer, to the sushi for 2! Drinks were also delicious and service was great.

So nice to find a place to have dinner with our dog as well!“

“Sushi Nirvana at Its Finest!!

If you're craving sushi that actually hits the spot—not just fills the void—this place is your jackpot. All-you-can-eat doesn’t even begin to describe the experience. It’s more like all-you-can-dream-of.

Whether you're a sushi snob or just here for the teriyaki and gyoza, this spot delivers. Come hungry, leave euphoric. And yes, you’ll probably dream about that spicy mayo drizzle.“

“My husband almost moved to Raleigh when we were engaged because of Sake House. Both our families & his job being in Virginia tipped the scale in that direction, but not by much. The sushi is excellent“

“My family and I had our first dining experience at this restaurant last night and we were amazed! There was a wide variety of items on the menu and everything was great! The portions were big, the prices were good, the staff was pleasant and professional, and we even got a visit from the owner at our table. We will definitely be going back.“

“The restaurant is a low-key hidden gem with a small dining area but a big team working the kitchen, sushi station, and register. The staff are quiet but provide kind and fast service, which is fine because the food speaks for itself. It’s easily better than other places around and cost ~30% less, with a simple menu that offers enough variety without causing option overload. The sushi and steak hibachi my girlfriend and I ordered tasted fresh and was so good she finished it quickly despite having no appetite. I normally only bother to leave negative reviews if ever, but it’s nice to see a small business still holding higher standards and food service than more “established” restaurants who charge more. If you’re looking for a little spot to dine or to just have as your go-to take out spot, this is the place. It might not look like much, but order something and find out what a steal each plate is.“

“Best hidden gem. Amazing food and super friendly staff. We’ll be back soon!“

“Since moving from NY to NC, I've been looking for a really good Japanese Steak place like a Benihana or, where I came from on Long Island, we had a place called Shiro's. I found the food at Umanmi to be excellent...and, plan to go back soon.“

“My goodness my wife and I ate here and it was a great experience. The food was great and our server Jane was on point and very welcoming and helpful. She was v÷ry familiar with the menu and we got the Bento Bowl you must try it.“

“eggplant in garlic sauce was delicious, spicy too!“

“Love it the people was nice food was great“

“Walking into this restaurant/new coffee bar, felt like walking in being greeted by family. The food was amazing, and fresh! The have some great community art plans for the restaurant!!! I highly recommend for atmosphere, food quality, and ambience.“
