“Best sushi ever! Great service! Cozy atmosphere!“

“Great Ramen. Best in the area“

“Went in and ordered to go. Food was delicious as always and service was great! We got the hibachi steak, which we had never tried, but it was so good! Will definitely get it again. We also got 2 teriyaki chicken, one with rice and one with noodles, both very good.“

“Went this evening for the first time and it did not disappoint. I am very picky about my hibachi and it was by far the best I have had in this area.“

“I went to eat with my family. It was our first time and was overwhelmed by the menu. The lunch menu was confusing for first timers. Server Fah was very helpful and sweet. She was very fast and I highly recommend asking her to serve you. I'll definitely go back and ask for her!“

“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!“

“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“

“The food and service are always really good! I usually order the salmon but today they ran out. I won’t hold it against them since they close in an hour but I was really looking forward to it. I’m not a huge fan of shrimp in general, but I’m trying it today.“

“good food. sat outside, nice atmosphere“

“I was craving some amazing noodles. I was looking all over Raleigh for the new place to check out. Ton Noodles hit the spot. I have the shrimp tempura udon noodle bowl. The broth was really delicious and flavorful. Noodles were cooked to perfection. Shrimp tempura was nice and crispy and well-seasoned. Service was extraordinary. Very nice people in there. Extremely clean and not too loud. Definitely worth checking out if you love noodles. They have ramen and rice dishes. They have Curry which I hope to try next time. I also had two pork buns which were absolutely incredible. I will definitely come back soon. Come check this place out!“

“I've been seeing them, but actually tried them out tonight. I got the Steak & Shrimp. Food was wonderful. I also like cream sauce and hot sauce. Cream sauce was very thin, the hot sauce wasn't what i expected and not very hot. I also have a hard time walking right now. So i called them from the parking lot and asked if they could bring it to me. They did!!! Talk about service. That's why i gave them 5 stars.“

“I order from here all the time. The staff is nice and my food is always great. I get the Tenko Chicken. Quick, convenient, predictable comfort food. And it's kind of silly, but I don't have to ask anyone for chopsticks, you can just grab them as you need them.“

“I've been to this restaurant a few times in the past month. The store itself is not all that glamorous, it's a bit unassuming I would say. However the food and service is exceptional. I really enjoyed both the dragon roll and the crab tempura roll when I had them and after recently trying both their Korean style honey glazed and sweet & spicy chicken. I can safely say this has now become my go-to place for fried chicken (if you haven't had Korean fried chicken, definitely check it out).“

“Nice place. Fried dumplings were so good.“

“Love it the people was nice food was great“

“They use the best Quality Food and always have stellar service, super clean too!“

“Love it the people was nice food was great“

“Tried this place first time today. Food was awesome. Got the steak hibachi and wife got the vegetable hibachi . Also got the spring rolls which were super hot and great. Both plates were great and nice and hot with great flavor. Rice was nice and fluffy not a ball stuck together. Great place for hibachi and Owner is a super nice guy. Will be back soon.“
