“Wonderful place for Dinner“

“Very good food and friendly relaxing awesome etc“

“Love eating at Crazy Fire! Fabulous food and service!“

“Good drink specials throughout the week, I appreciate the infusion that these dishes provide between Mexican and Asian. I always get the sushi with a little less sauce, which always is perfect for me. It’s great to have a sit down restaurant. That’s also one you can order from the bar and take to go inside the food hall.“

“Good little sushi place and not too expensive“

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

“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!“

“Everything the server crew was amazing“

“The Spicy crab with Sriracha was amazing. I'll definitely be back.“

“Absolutely amazing experience! The sushi was delicious, fresh, and beautifully presented, but what really made my visit special was the service.

I want to give a special shout-out to Omar, our server. I honestly don’t think I’ve ever felt this well taken care of at a restaurant before. He was incredibly attentive, friendly, professional, and genuinely made us feel welcome from the moment we arrived. His attention to detail and the way he treated us made the entire experience exceptional.

Omar is a true asset to this restaurant. I’ll definitely be coming back, and I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for great sushi and outstanding service!“

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

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.“

Sushi bar, comfortable tables inside and outside. The servers are friendly and attentive.
I look forward to another twenty years dining here.“

“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“

“Whenever I am in the Raleigh area and I am near, this is my favorite quick Japanese restaurant. The food and atmosphere is consistent and the quality is fresh and you receive a bang for your buck. The inside is a small quaint restaurant and I usually take it to go.“
