What People Are Saying About Sushi-Yoshi Japanese Restrnt

The Editor

In Short – Don't expect a big square table with a grill in the middle and a chef who can juggle pepper shakers. Instead, a sushi bar, tatami mats and paper lanterns have transformed the former "Hello Deli" into one of the area's best places to eat Japanese. Beautifully prepared, very fresh, a la carte sushi, with a menu that boasts a wide variety of sushi, sashimi and rolls, as well as teriyaki, tempura or noodles.

Good sushi & Japanese food

by bashtheogre at Citysearch

I've eaten at Sushi-Yoshi once or twice a year for the past ~5 years. I've had dishes ranging from chicken teriyaki to noodle bowls to sushi. I think it's the best sushi restaurant in the Durham / Chapel Hill area. Service may be a bit slow, but I frequently go with a large group so I'm a bit forgiving.

  • Pros: Good Food
  • Cons: It can be a bit slow

Terrible service

by wendy314 at Citysearch

I live close to sushi-yoshi so I thought I would see if it was as good as some of the japanese restaurants I'd been to in Raleigh. The waitress had no knowledge of the menu, when asked questions she got an attitude and couldn't give a correct answer. She never once asked us if we were enjoying everything or if we needed anything. She didn't even refill our water, another waitress came over for that. The food was okay, definitly not worth the money you pay. I'd prefer a waitress that knows something about the food they serve, and is polite, the way we were being to her. I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone.

  • Cons: poor service, high prices, warm sushi

Very Satisfactory

by reviewer1210 at Citysearch

I thought that this place was very good. Granted the service was a little slow, but in all fairness there was only one waitress. The service was very friendly and special requests were not a problem. The sushi is portioned well (not tiny pieces of fish on huge portions of rice; very balanced) and quite fresh. There are a good number of creative rolls as well as the traditional rolls. The sushi chef seemed experienced and was very nice. Overall, my experience was very pleasant, and I will most certainly be returning.

  • Pros: sushi, friendly /accomodating service
  • Cons: slightly slow
