The Teriyaki steak was awesome. I tried my friends Seaweed salad & was pleasantly surprised as to how flavorful that was. I will return. The owner made an egg roll with fried eel & that too was great!

Sam M

Chicken katsu was very authentic and with the right sauce, good sake menu, better than average draft beer selection (of Japanese beers )

Kaitlin

The sushi here is very authentic , as is the atmosphere, and I love that. But it's also expensive , and I've never seen them offer many specials.

David Chang Villacreses

FOR two: 1 Mary Roll, 1 Sweet Dragon Roll , and the Katsudon ! You're welcome! :)

Pi Pyzdek

I love that they have real home style Japanese food . Be adventurous and try something more than just sushi !

Conner Hobson

Very high quality. They really don't skimp on the fish . Pictured is the Waraji roll and Spiral Ecstasy .

Charlie L

Awesome Japanese meals and great sushi . A long trip for us (30+ minutes), but well worth it. One of our favorites.

Jason Johns

Shamoo roll has a little bit of everything if you can’t decide. Also ask for fresh cut wasabi is available if you like it hot.

Bisi Oladipo

Sushi is amazing!!! Nice place and the chefs really take the time to get to know you. Try the nigiri

Felicia

The sushi is fresh and delicious. For appetizers try the miso soup and seaweed salad .

Brett Cooper

No doubt - the best sushi I have had in a long time. I was there when Waraji opened and have been going ever since. It is the best place in the Triangle, or North Carolina for that fact!

Tamara

Order the dinner deal and share it by adding a few single sushi rolls ... you'll save yourself some extra $$. The "meals" are expensive but it's A LOT of food!

Marion

Delicious negimaki (scallions rolled in grilled beef ). Also try the volunteer roll. ????

Jenny Janvier

Sit at the sushi bar and the chef will make you his own delicious concoction ..beware of Scary Jerry 10+

Noy

Come for lunch , sit at the sushi bar , allow the chef to create what s/he thinks you'll like ... and talk to Sandy.

Kathy Yang

Get the nabeyaki udon ! It's one of the best in the Triangle. The stock is made in house and incredibly rich. ( ´ ▽ ` )ノ

Luke Fayard

Hinataaaaaa. May be the best sushi roll I've ever had.

Felicia

Make the dragon roll a fire dragon roll for an extra kick of spice!

Dave Leach

Really enjoyed the plum squid maki - nice sour taste and good texture

h

Highly recommended, try the tatami and sea urchin ☺️

Tricia Kolb

Best fresh sushi anywhere! Great for lunch .

Dan London

Get a reservation as they often fill up quickly and the wait can be over an hour.

Melissa

The Shamu roll is awesome! Everything here is sooo good.

Yolanda Arocha

Beef sushi is just amazing

Steven Thomas

Great way to get introduced to Sushi - take the deluxe platter.

Adam

The eggroll is great. I dont know alot about sushi but the few times i have had it this was the best

Michael Huber

Waraji has several items on the menu that are unique and food is excellent

Glen H

The Suzuki 500 is Excellent! -Especially if you're wary of the uncooked items.

Chris

Try the sliced beef sirloin appetizer with ponzu sauce .

Anora McGaha

Spider ecstasy is excellent here says my Japanese mother in law. Elsewhere known as rainbow roll .

AJ Viola

Probably the highest quality fish I've ever had!

Love this place. Best sushi in town

Colin Woodall

That's not nice to say about haru. I've had nothing but good experiences. I guess I'm not the expert this chick is, but judge for yourself.

Mitch Owen

Best sushi in Raleigh

Try the Masa Eggroll or age nasu for something different and delicious.

David Chang Villacreses

I stopped for an order of sushi to go for my wife. When I heard what they were going to charge me. I left.

Gabriela Phillips

The sushi !

Leigh A.

Guacamole Roll!

Anora McGaha

Reservations on weekend nights have to have 6 people minimum.

Kate Stewart

Great sushi !

Adam

House salad is really good

Penny Ashley-Lawrence

Sorry, buddy, but Haru is slightly better than dog food. Not even in the same class as Waraji. Stop embarrassing yourself by writing tips.

Cynthia Layne

Scary Jerry & Spiral Ecstasy ....Yum!

SL

Closed for lunch on Saturdays

Penny Page

The best sushi in Raleigh !

Anora McGaha

Masa's eggroll isn't available Sundays because Masa doesn't work Sundays.
