    Sakura Mochi
    James L.

    Loved the whole experience here. I came with my wife and our young daughter (4 years old). The server was very sweet to her and even brought out a to-go cup with water, such a thoughtful gesture. The interior felt just like the small corner restaurants I grew up with in Japan, but a bit cleaner and more polished. Zaru Udon was one of my favorite dishes growing up, and Kashin delivered a nostalgic, comforting experience. Thank you! The yellowtail was also spot on, fresh and flavorful. For dessert, we had the sakura mochi. Loved, loved it. Sweet, warm, and perfectly gooey. Just perfect.

    Chawan-mushi. My Japanese mother loved it!

    Six years later and this place is still my favorite sushi restaurant in the triangle. It's not fancy but if you want authentic Japanese food, this is the only truly Japanese restaurant in the area. Food is always fresh and flavorful. Service is beyond excellent. Nothing but friendly faces and attentive staff. Chawanmushi is a must try, traditional Japanese dish and this place does it right. Smooth and jam packed with flavor. And the Chirashi is my go to dish so I can have a little bit of everything on a bed of sushi rice. If you are a sushi lover in the triangle and you haven't been to Kashin, I don't know what you're doing. Again, it's not all fancy like some other joints in Raleigh and Durham but if you want good food, look no further.

    Always come back to Kashin Japanese family style food, some like chawanmushi and ochazuke are not easy find in other Japanese restaurants. We also ordered soft shell crab appetizier, my always go-to wherever there is one plum shiso roll, chef's choice 5 sashimi (15pcs - red meat tuna, salmon, yellowtail, snapper, escolar), and a shoyu ramen. This is not the finding a gem good, but the good as I will return when I cannot find another new place to try. Comfort Japanese food with fair price (consider inflation), Kashin is like a Japanese diner for me.

    One of the few Asian places that earned my five stars. Come in and you are greeted by friendly staff that will show you to your table. You can choose to sit at the bar where you can watch your meal being prepared in front of you. The bar filled up quick the night I went. Kashin aims to be as authentic as it can in its Japanese cuisine. The staff did a great job. My sushi dinner was presented well and had the type of wasabi I liked. Mom's tempura was crunchy. The seafood was fresh. It had the look and feel of the kind I'd find at the real deal in Japan. They had a bottle of Asahi too. I'm happy to say my experience brought back memories of my trip. Arigato!

    On the left is the typhoon roll and on the right is the eel roll. Best sushi I've ever had!

    I had the eel roll and the typhoon roll. Hands down the best sushi I've ever had. The typhoon roll has so much flavor it blew my mind!

    Food: 4/5 Service: 4/5 Wait time: 2/5 Price: $$ - $$$ I visited a 2nd time with family. We always arrive the moment dinner time begins because the restaurant fills up very quickly. The food here is delicious almost all around. You can't really go wrong with any of the nigiri, rolls, or small dishes. They use fresh cuts of fish. We chose the following items: * (5/5) Maguro Yamakake * (4.5/5) Assorted Deluxe Sushi Dinner * (4.5/5) Alaskan Roll * (4/5) Spider Roll * (4/5) Beef Tataki A complaint of ours was the wait time for kitchen-prepared food, again. Unfortunately, there was only 1 chef in the kitchen during both visits and an almost full restaurant (albeit small). It caused a long wait time for food to be served, which was difficult to endure since we were hungry. A positive note is that the server let us know an estimate time to wait if we ordered anything further mid-meal (could be 20+ minute wait). Overall, tasty Japanese food and kind servers and sushi chef.

    Plain hole in the walls didn't have normal dragon but the numbered roll I had was similar to what I consider a dragon. Sorry can't remember specifics. There was a female sushi chef and the owner is a female. For that reason and the sushi was good enough, I'll return.

    Sunumono is excellent.
    Dale D.

    Delicious authentic traditional Japanese Cuisine. Delivery was fast and accurate thtough DoorDash. The Sunumono mix was fresh and crispy cucumber with seaweed and an assortment of seafood. The spider was softshell crab in a nice roll. I recommend this Excellent Lunch choice.

This week my teen reminded me that a new Ramen place has opened in the same facility so I decided to give it a try. The ambience is cozy, though I found that tables are very close to each other, so it is very hard to keep a conversation going without you either disturbing the other table or worrying about having someone else listen to your conversation menu is fine. I did not care for sushi because I was there for Ramen. Besides, they have a vegetarian Ramen is what I was looking for, my daughter ordered a teriyaki Ramen. My vegetarian Ramen had a lot of tempura in it, which defeated the purpose a little bit for me because it was a little oily. The taste was more or less like a red curry and there was very less vegetables mostly it was sweet corn and one or two bok choy on the other hand my teen, who is very hard to please loved the teriyaki Raman and is already planning to go back this weekend to try the other ones , all in all I gave this place a four star because the umami of the Ramen was very comforting, even though I did not like the taste much

So spirits were high right from the start. For the record, I've been here a handful of times before, usually for lunch, but this was my first dinner visit. Parking was easy and plentiful, and even though the restaurant was fairly busy, we were seated right away. Always a nice win. We kicked things off with a bowl of edamame that was perfectly salted. The boys went with miso soup, which was flavorful but came out lava hot. Like, ice-cube-required hot. Tasty, but proceed with caution if you have kids. For sushi, we kept it simple and solid with a mix of one classic and two specialty rolls: Spicy Tuna, Phoenix, and the Crunchy Roll. All were fresh, well-made, and hit the spot. Food came out quickly, service was friendly and attentive, and the overall value felt right. Since we live nearby, this will definitely stay in our regular rotation. A great, easy dinner spot for sushi with family.

Oiso is in a big shopping center, so there is no headache when it comes to parking. But the parking does get busy during dinner/evening time. Service is superb. Everyone is so friendly, and service is top notch. This place is not super big, and it's never too crowded, where I do not get any service. It's perfect, and I hope it stays that way. My go-to dish is Hwedupbap. Think of it like a poke bowl, but Korean style :) I love the spicy + sour sauce (Chogochuchang sauce) that comes with the dish so so much. The portion is GENEROUS! I repeat: The portion is generous. Mama didn't raise a quitter, so I always finish my bowl. But it is hella big for anyone who loves to eat.

It was my first time having crispy rice, my husband ordered it thinking it would be similar to fried rice but we were pleasantly surprised when it came out. I typically prefer fried gyoza but the steamed was perfect, they came with a lovely light but flavorful dipping sauce. My only critique is I would have liked low sodium soy sauce, I didn't ask for it so not sure if they offer it but I will next time.

The chef curates a multi course and highly personalized tasting menu. My wife and I had the pleasure to partake in this unbelievable experience for our 21st anniversary, and it was hands down one of the best meals we've ever had. Not this month, not just sushi, not just in NC...but one of the top meals of all time anywhere. We had the Grand Omakase, which came out to 10 courses in total. I won't go into detail on each and every course, but let's just say that each and every course was of the highest quality fish, sushi or meat we've had anywhere. From the sushi flown out straight from Japan, to the beluga caviar and A5 Wagyu, and everything in between. We've had sushi across the nation and overseas, 100s of times. This has taken the top #1 spot out of all of them, especially with what we were served in the Grand Omakase package. Impeccable service, 8 sushi chefs all working efficiently at once in an open style sushi kitchen, all within a classy (but not pretentious by any means) establishment. The Grand Omakase package here is one of those bucket list items for anyone who loves sushi, top shelf meats and fish, and enjoys a high level foodie experience.
