My son loves this place. We always get Hibachi so I can't say how the sushi is. We love the soup and salad and even have a favorite chef...his name is Nelson. In our opinion, he's the best we've had there. I've been coming here since and kid and still do now. We like the flavor better than CrapKi down the road.

Our most expensive meal in Durham to date. The restaurant is a little dated- not dirty, but not clean either. Was told our only option was hibachi, although it looked like a sushi bar was available. Altogether fine but won’t be returning.

The best Japanese I've ever had and I've ate a lot of Japanese food! I've been coming here my whole life and it will forever be my favorite! They also have gluten free soy sauce which is amazing! Wonderful cooks and Rodney is the best at the bar!

My family has been going here for over 20 years. The building is a little out dated, BUT the food is always amazing. You get a lot of food and it is worth it. The staff are ALWAYS friendly and attentive. Highly recommend over Kanki. At Kanki you are paying for the atmosphere at best.

To be fair for a Saturday night we didn’t have to wait long for a table for 8 people. However the food isn’t fresh at all. I had the shogun dinner which is a combination of steak, chicken and supposedly jumbo shrimp. I say supposedly because the shrimp definitely wasn’t fresh and after the cook finished preparing it. It definitely did not have the texture that shrimp normally have. This shrimp was overly soft and frail looking. I think it’s the poor quality of food. The grill had food particles embedded in edge where the grill and table connect. Very unpleasant sight to see. The cleanliness was subpar. I used the ladies restroom and the water pressure from the faucet was very low and the water trickled from out not even a pencil width. I hope the employees had a decent working sink in the kitchen, because in the bathroom there no way to efficiently and effectively clean your hands without the right amount of water pressure. The waitress was on point she took care of our needs, I definitely appreciate that. With all of that said, I won’t be coming back.

The staff was friendly, as well as the hibachi chef. It has a great atmosphere, just know it is fairly dim inside in case you need to prepare for that. The lunch portion was definitely quantified for two meals. Overall a great place to grab food.

All of the food we had was excellent.
It's definitely a fun experience.
But it's loud, so just be aware if you are with someone sensitive to noises.
