    Yummy roll (top) and Crunchy Crab Roll :P
    Angelina B.

    the workers are very sweet and the sushi is great! My food usually comes out in 5-10 minutes. The place is also calm and peaceful!!

    2 orders of Cream cheese wonton (fried)
    Laurelle H.

    Quick dining option. The Yelp special "BOGO Free" is NO longer accepted and will NOT be honored even if it's still active on here. Food is fresh. * Cream Cheese Wontons | has very little fillings, just plain cream cheese, fillings doesn't have imitation crab, etc. * Lo Mein | was watery so it didn't pick up on the flavor/sauce, carrots are over cooked so it's super mushy, other veggies are cooked well * Sushi rolls has more rice so it looks bigger/more filled Cashiers are nice and welcoming.

    Chicken, shrimp and steak combo
    Cindy N.

    We have been sick & didn't feel like venturing out for Friday early dinner so we gambled with DoorDash. Didn't have much expectations because who really orders hibachi delivered but me this one time... wasn't too shabby. The food arrived pretty quick & still pretty warm. The steak was tender, but the chicken was a little dry. Overall, not bad. Wish they gave ginger sauce as well, but just the typical yum yum sauce was given. Their sushi combo is any 2 for $25.

    Nicest owner around, so friendly and professional. We call ahead and the food is always ready and hot when we arrive. Not sure if this place is getting the notice it should be! It's located behind Triangle Town Center in the strip of stores, on the end. Fair prices, yummy food, ample parking and kind employees. Win win. About $10 for a huge lunch portion.

    First time to try this place out. Food was good and enjoyed the fried tofu with the flavorful soup. Very attentive service too.

    Miso soup

    We were looking for a quick place to stop for a sushi lunch. The place was rated highly and I am glad that we came here. It would have been jive to sit outside but it was cold. The rolls are all BOGO or 25% off one. We got the Philly roll, the rainbow roll and the double salmon. The double salmon was my favorite. Everything was really good and the miso was delicious. Great pricing and quick and easy to get in and out of. The guys were jive that worked there.

    Vegetable Hibachi with fried rice and "white sauce" which is more orange to me but ok.
    LV S.

    The service was just ok not impressive. The food was ok as well, the carrots were the sweetest carrots I've ever had lol. The ambiance is better than a carry out. This is a place I would eat if I'm in the area and just want something to eat.

    First time here with my honeybun !!

So, a group of my friends and I have monthly dinners, and that particular month, we chose Waraji, which I have been to before and loved. I won't go into details about that particular night, but our experience was pretty bad (I think it was just a random off night). I have NEVER in my life called a restaurant to address a situation, but I just had to in this case. The manager was VERY validating and apologetic about our experience and offered another meal for all 9 of us fully compensated. I was NOT expecting this in the slightest, I was merely trying to bring it to the managers attention, but I was also very surprised and accepted the offer (because delicious sushi that is free? Of course). Let me tell you, our second experience was absolutely AMAZING!!!! TAI was our server and she was FABULOUS! So sweet and attentive. The food, as always was delicious! The sushi there was fresh, tasty and beautifully presented. They even went above and beyond offering up a complimentary bottle of wine and an assortment and amazing desserts. We were all very impressed. Waraji has been and will be my go to spot for sushi in the Raleigh area! If you are looking for authentic sushi with good ambiance, check out Waraji!

They all said it was the best sushi they've ever had. I was super impressed by the expansive drink menu. I ordered a nice red blend and plan to order a Sake flight next time. I loved the atmosphere and didn't realize it was so big inside. Our server was super nice and helpful when ordering. I ordered the teriyaki chicken without onions and our server was so awesome that she let me know that the ginger dressing on my salad contained onions. She wanted to make sure I didn't have an allergy. How amazing?! The chicken teriyaki and the veggies it was served with were absolutely AMAZING! Seriously, IDK what they did to those veggies but this may have been the best meal I've ever had! They gave my husband a scoop of mango icecream with a candle in it for his birthday. Love that! We are looking forward to our next visit to Waraji.

Ironically went to my local sushi place…read moretonight that's my go-to and I have always raved about their hibachi... now that I have tried Kazu's, I didn't like it as much. Not sure if that's good or bad news for me lol because Kazu is about 40 minutes from my house. Service was polite and attentive as I expected. Restaurant was clean but is limited on seating, just fyi. Hibachi is cooked fresh to order and my fave thing is that the veggies aren't over cooked and mushy. They still have a crisp to them. Thai tea was excellent too. Didn't taste like a premix (if it is).

I was told to sit wherever I wanted, and since they weren't busy due to the off-time, I chose a booth. Ordered the chicken and scallops combo, plus green tea and water. Tea and water were served in styrofoam. Not a fave of mine. But when the delicious food appeared, I forgave them. Especially since it was on a real plate. I had to ask for ginger sauce, but the yum yum sauce had already been put on the table in a squeeze bottle. Everything was perfectly cooked, plentiful and yummy. I would probably not order the scallops again because the flavor and texture were more fish-like than scallop like. Loved the chicken and all the veggies. Fried rice was good as well. Didn't have anything added to it, but it didn't need to. Even though I ate a lot, I still took home enough for another delicious meal. Would definitely go back, especially considering how inexpensive it was.

Later I saw the actual restaurant is a bit small with a few tables and sushi bar so I'm thinking they have out grown their space and after eating the food I can understand how that happened. As mentioned it has a small footprint but we didn't wait long. Our server was very kind and provided excellent service. We started with the gyoza which were out of this world! They had the perfect char on the dumpling without making it too seared. The Sashimi plate was incredible, each piece of fish melted in your mouth. If I have to give one critique I'd say our yellow tail was still a little frozen but that didn't stop me from devouring it. Crispy Salmon Roll was light and refreshing and their Rainbow Roll was like no other I've had. My husband and I have two reference points when it comes to sushi; mine is Japan where I was introduced to it as a young Marine, his is Hawaii where had the most amazing sushi about 5 years ago. Not many places can compare to those experiences but Sushi Mon was VERY close!

The decor included dark wooden furniture, hardwood floors, door curtains for kitchen, and a ceiling lamp in the shape of a fish. On each table was a pale bottle with a small spout and a large stopper. This was for the black sauce, and the first time I have seen black sauce provided at tables in anything other than the small transparent bottle with double-spout cap. Next to the kitchen doorway was a black board announcing "What's New". The menu is printed on black-colored pages bound by black leather cover, which matched the black uniforms of the staff. I ordered my usual ramen: tonkotsu. It was served with a renge and a fork, the latter for those uncomfortable with using chopsticks. That didn't apply to me. I put the fork to the side and used the wooden chopsticks. The tonkotsu had three thick pieces of chasu, lots of menma slices, some kikurage strips, and a soft-boiled egg served in two halves. Though a little saltier than I would like, the broth was still delicious and complimented the food well, especially the chasu. It had a mild spiciness that caused slight irritation to my throat, but otherwise was worth consuming the entire bowl. It was about 11:10am when I arrived. Besides myself, there was one other party of two. The cocktail bar had two large TVs, one playing CNN and the other playing a sports program. The volume level was barely a whisper. Most of the time, I didn't hear anything. By 11:45am, two more parties of two showed up. The atmosphere was quiet the entire time, and definitely a great place to relax and enjoy a meal during lunch time. As I was leaving, I took a look at the outdoor dining area. It is housed in a patio next to the building. It has plenty of seating and is almost enclosed but for a cased doorway. I was impressed that TDLLO is accommodating to its customers during rain or shine (unlike Noodles Blvd in Cary). I will definitely come back to try a different ramen. Plenty of indoor and outdoor (sheltered) seating, plenty of parking, quiet atmosphere and good ramen, TDLLO Ramen & Sushi has my recommendation.
