Yamazushi Authentic Japanese Cuisine

Feels like home. This is the most authentic Japanese restaurant in town. You can get many dishes that are not available in other restaurants like takoyaki, hijiki, gomaae, etc. The decor is very Japanese, and I love that they use unique handmade bowls and cups. The service is fantastic, and food tastes just like home. They have many healthy dishes on the menu.

Authentic, cozy, friendly place with a unique menu. Highly recommended for people who know real Japanese food.…

Not worth the money. We went to Yamazushi tonight after not having been there in years and were very disappointed. Some of the sushi was tough and dry and the yakatori was fatty and tough. The wine servings were small and expensive, even though they were half price the night we went. The biggest issue we had was that everything was so overpriced and really not worth it. On the positive side, the wait staff was friendly and we had no problem finding a table.…

Best sushi in Durham!!!!. I took my woman to Yamazushi for dinner a few nights ago, and was completely impressed. I have traveled all over the US and many parts of the world, and this is without a doubt the best quality sushi I have ever had. The fish was amazingly fresh! There is a small, semi-private dining area where folks can actually sit on the floor and eat at an authentic Japanese table, for a touch of something exotic. The prices are among the best that I have ever seen as well. The two of us ate 30 pices of assorted sushi, meso soup, salad, and green tee for right at 30 dollars! I thought the check was wrong when it came out; it was so low. I would highly recomend the spicy tuna, Philly roll, and the fried Duke roll was realy quite good (and a safe bet for beginers). For those fo you not yet brave enough to eat "raw" fish, there is an impressive selection of vegetble sushi for you to choose from. I would highly recomend this place as a great alternative to the loud, packed, typical restaurants so common in the Triangle.…

great, relaxing japanese restaurant. My husband and I had lunch at Yamazushi today and we simply enjoyed the food and the relaxed atmosphere (before going back to a stressful work schedule). The food was very fresh, the taste of all dishes even of the "daily" miso soup was sophisticated, and everything was lovely presented - the Green Tea was superb! We just savoured the food, could forget about everything out there and went back to work relaxed - c'est parfait! Highly recommended!…
