8 Best Sushi Bars near Durham

“Mei Wei....where do I even start? Mei; That name reminded me of my late wife (May). She was a Vietnamese firecracker from Phuoc Hua, a small village outside of Ho Chi Minh City. She was the light of my life and when I lost her, the world went still, I lost that light. I traveled the world searching for it. I scoured high and low for something to take me back to that time and restore me to my old self. I almost lost faith until I stumbled upon Mei Wei. My granddaughter goes to UNH and she took me and her father there for a dinner date and it was eye opening. The food was delicious, it fueled my imagination and my heart. The Pork Lo Mein was so delectable that it almost brought a tear to my eye. Finally, sushi was to die for and it was definitely the highlight of the meal. Mei Wei gave me something that no other place, thing or person ever had since I lost my dear May. Mei Wei brought my light back. It gets my ultimate endorsement and I am eternally grateful for this small restaurant tucked away in Durham.“

“The food is absolutely amazing! Buffet during lunch hour, menus during dinner! It's amazing! The service is wonderful, the new owner walks around and is so sweet and welcoming! Talks about his quality of food so he must be proud, may be to chatty for some, but i think it's sweet!! The ambience is good! Lot's of different seating options, great decor too! The tea pots are so cute!!“

“Everything was excellent. The fish tank was outstanding. I walked in looking for a lunch and got the fastest service, I have ever had. Two delicious spicy salmon handrolls and a cup of green tea, my favorite meal. Could not have asked for a better experience, start to finish. And I'm not kidding about the fish tank; huge channel cat.“

“The sushi here is fantastic, with an emphasis on the Chef's special rolls. They have some classic combos, but some of their unique creations will blow you away. I tried the No. 456 Roll tonight and it was incredible. I've tried the hibachi in house and also "to-go" and the portions are great, food is great both ways. This place is a blast especially with a large group.“

“MUCH larger than their Rye location, but just as friendly and comfortable! Oneta and her husband have done a phenomenal job with their Dovah location! Tasty cuisine and imaginative cocktail specials make this a must visit if you're in Dover. I can't wait to sample more of their dishes in the future!“

“Dover IKKO Sushi & Japanese Steak House is a great and fun place for everyone, including the kids. The chef will put on a show sure to entertain all. The sake flows freely and good times are had. Sticking to the hibachi menu I went with the filet mignon and scallops. The chef will even throw in a few shrimp as well. Rice (with egg, etc.) and vegetables are cooked to perfection. More sake. Enjoy the onion volcano. Great for large parties. Very much recommended.“

“If you know, you know. If you don't, you should go!!The food here is spot on and consistent. The service is kind, happy to help, and the food comes out quickly. The sushi is off the charts amazing!!! Seriously, they're friggin' artists with their sushi plates. You will leave full and most likely with leftovers if you get a full lunch or dinner meal.“

“So happy we just popped it. After hearing great things we were driving by and stopped in . So glad we did. We were a day before our 10 yr anniversary and they made us feel so special. The food and drinks were great. I got sushi and Brussels.“
