    Stopped by M Sushi for the Nigiri Omakase which includes miso soup and 13 pieces of Traditional…read morestyle sushi with specialty ingredients, chef's special futomaki, and house-made Tamago. When you arrive parking can be a bit tricky in this area as you'll need to find parking on the street or in a nearby parking lot. When you arrive the entrance can be a bit hard to find as it's tucked away down a cobblestone road. Look for the "m" logo outside of the door of the restaurant. You'll check in with the host when you arrive, and for this trip we opted to sit at the bar. When you walk into M sushi you'll feel like you've stepped into an underground, relaxed hangout for sushi. To start I ordered the Mizuwari (Nikka Coffey Grain Whisky, elderfower liqueur, and tonic) which was perfectly balanced and a great way to start the meal. Following that the omakase service started with miso soup which was hot and fresh, followed by the different pieces of sushi. There was a variety from blue fin tuna, to sea bream, to Norwegian Sea trout. My favorite was a tie between the seared salmon belly and toro blue fin. We also ordered a bottle of Born Gold Junmai Daliginjo (Rich, smooth, fruit and grain forward) which paired excellently with the meal. This was a fun experience as it was my first time trying Omakase and looking forward to my next trip to M Sushi.

We started off with their sodas made in-house, one being green apple and the other being grapefruit. They were okay. The grapefruit one kind of tasted like apple cider vinegar. We tried them because a soda was $6 and there were no free refills. I find that a strange decision but this could be personal preference. We got a mixture of the small plates and rolls including the nigiri (delightful!), tuna crispy rice (my 2nd favorite), dumplings, bao bun (one cut in half), the rainbow roll, and the unagi roll. While I thought the nigiri and tuna crispy rice were amazing - both tasted fresh - overall, the food was just fine. I think our experience could just be based on pure preference. I found the sushi to be good but not the best I have ever had as some other Yelpers have experienced.

    My sis, nieces and I went for an impromptu dinner after our girls day activities. It was about 5:30…read moreon a Sunday. They were packed, but we only waited a few minutes to be seated. The food is either a la carte or all.tou can eat for $26.... but everyone at the table.has to choose the same option. The all.you can eat is a pretty good deal if you want to try a few things. Our service was great... especially with how busy they were. I had crab ragoons, crab salad, the special roll called the Lady Bug and fried cheesecake. Really liked the ragoons qith a good amount of cream cheese in a pastry. The Lady Bug roll was delish. The crab salad was different, but good. I believe I expected chunks of crab and it was shredded. Never had fried cheesecake, but cheesecake is my favorite dessert so I wanted to try it. Nice fried crust on the outside and creamy on the inside. It was a good experience.

    Koi Sushi & Hibachi is an AYCE Sushi & Hibachi establishment located in Durham, NC. The value you…read moreget here is really good for what you're paying. The fish overall ranges from OK to not the greatest but for dinner you're only paying $26 or so before taxes and tip. They have your standard nigiri, standard rolls, cooked rolls, specialty rolls, and hand rolls. You can also choose from a few appetizers and their hibachi offerings. They also do a la carte and takeout. The service here is fairly good as my waiter was checking in on me every 10-15 min or so. My only problem is it's very tiny inside and tables are nestled so close to each other so you're almost within arms reach of another table. Gets very busy so there will definitely be a wait depending upon the time you go so plan for that but you can walk around the Whole Foods around the corner or around Duke East Campus across the street while waiting.

    If you're looking for a smaller cozy venue and enjoy sampling dishes that are done with intention,…read morethen M Tempura is that place. We pre-booked the Omakase menu, a fixed price tasting menu that was honestly a deal regarding price point. We would have been satisfied with the first seven dishes even before we got to the tempura tasting. Standouts included scallop toast, chawanmushi, and scallop tartare. At this point we were more than content with what we already sampled but committed to finish. The tempura featured prawns, lotus root, lobster and more scallop. And if that's not enough, we were presented with a miso marinated sea bass in a rice bowl garnished with nori, wasabi and pickled daikon. We finished with a divine ginger ice cream, perfect in size , flavor and consistency. M Tempura is your choice if you're seeking an intimate spot featuring well crafted, delicate flavors with attention to detail. This experience was a memorable one.

The waitperson, nice and attentive. Even the chef, asked if OK. When I found out there were no veggies with the soba, the waitperson brought me some - free! And they were tasty! I am hoping I will be doing more business with the company in Durham so I can eat here again.
