My view on sushi as a whole has completely changed...in an absolutely amazing way. Omakase Style: basically translates over as "I leave it up to you." 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. read more

M Sushi at Fenton is definitely an experience! If you appreciate really fresh sushi and beautiful presentation, this is one of those places where you can immediately tell they take their food seriously. The restaurant itself has a very intimate, modern and upscale feel, which makes it perfect for a date night or when you just want something a little nicer than your typical sushi spot. The service was attentive, and I appreciated that everything felt intentional--from the presentation to the pacing of the meal. The sushi was incredibly fresh, and I love that you can keep things fairly traditional with nigiri and sashimi or venture out and try some of their more creative specialty rolls and small plates. Everything is presented beautifully, so of course you're going to take a picture before you touch it. Now, M Sushi is definitely on the pricier side, so this wouldn't necessarily be my casual Tuesday-night sushi run. But for the quality, atmosphere and overall experience, I understand why it has the reputation it does. Fenton already gives you plenty to do before or after dinner, so M Sushi makes for a really nice evening out. Good food, beautiful presentation, great service and an elevated atmosphere. Definitely worth experiencing at least once if you're a sushi lover! read more

M Sushi - Cary - The pad Thai roll was very delicious, I would definitely recommend this place to a friend. - Sushi Bars Near Me - Cary, North Carolina

M Sushi is the talk of the town with high recommendations and a "must go" reputation, so of course it's one of the first places I try since moving to Cary. Sadly, I am sorely disappointed. Hailing from Florida, I'm used to high quality raw fish and M Sushi does not deliver this. Claiming they source their fish from Japan may be true, but I question how they store and prepare the fish, as it did not taste fresh. I tried the chirashi bowl, which was not what I was expecting: served on vinegar rice and shaved tomago, the fish was cut into chunks, not the thin slices well trained sushi chefs deliver. The fish tasted bad. Their sushi rolls can make up for the fish flavor by adding over powering ingredients, but their mismatched flavors, like spicy tuna and some kind of fruit sauce, didn't work. The only good thing I had was the truffle white fish dumplings, they were spectacular. Which makes me think I might still enjoy the other M restaurants. Sorry guys, this place just isn't it. My server was excellent, very attentive and knowledgeable. read more

M Sushi - Cary - TWISTED MANGO - Sushi Bars Near Me - Cary, North Carolina

My girlfriend and I made Omakase reservations here over the 4th of July weekend. The course was absolutely amazing and our server was very kind. My only complaint was that we were sat at a booth instead of the usual, intimate bar seating that Omakase's usually have but I guess I must've missed that in the description. Nonetheless amazing sushi, great dessert and delicious drinks. (Highly recommend the smoked Old Fashioned). read more

We had 8:30pm reservations and were seated promptly. It was cold in the restaurant and the space is tiny, the space wasn't very visually pleasing either...Our server was very sweet! She was funny attentive and so kind. She recommended some unique Sake options, The Pink Lady was my favorite and faintly tasted like rose. For starters I ordered the crudo and edamame, which was delicious. The crudo was EXCELLENT! It came with a matcha foam that was light and fresh. For my main, I ordered the spicy tuna (traditional maki) and the dynamite roll which my friend recommended. I didn't care too much for the dynamite roll. It was too heavy for my taste! I did like the spice. read more

M Sushi is truly first-class sushi and delivers an experience that feels special from start to finish. I came here for a special occasion and tried my first-ever omakase, and it did not disappoint. The opportunity to try otoro alone made it memorable, rich, buttery, and something I still think about. What stood out most was the pacing and intention. Receiving each course at incremented times allowed you to fully appreciate every piece of fish, and you could tell how much care went into both the selection and presentation. Nothing felt rushed, and every bite had purpose. It's an incredible way to experience sushi, especially if you've never done omakase before. The staff guides you through it, making the experience approachable without losing any of the elegance. If you're looking to treat yourself or celebrate something meaningful, M Sushi is absolutely worth it. An unforgettable introduction to omakase. read more

M Sushi - Cary - Nigiri from omakase - Sushi Bars Near Me - Cary, North Carolina

I wish I could give them a 4.5 star rating. Rounded up to 5 bc service was immaculate. The server, hostess, and other employees were so gracious and welcoming. The food was okay, I think it was a bit pricey for what it was. The fish was fresh but not as fresh as Shijiri and Akami. The bento seemed a tad overpriced as well, but in general it was pretty high quality. It was a little too dark for my liking. The yuzu mocktail was refreshing and perfect for warm weather. read more

Came here for a nice dinner after seeing so many great reviews online. Our server was great, the atmosphere was calm and nice, the food came out super quickly. The miso soup was yummy and the edamame was a good serving for the price! The sushi was just okay like it was good but nothing spectacular. We had the chefs nigiri and two maki rolls. I don't think we would come back though - pretty expensive for us students read more

What I recommend: Crispy Tuna Appetizer The omakase at M Sushi in Fenton Cary really impressed me, especially coming in under $100. The fish was high quality, fresh, and well prepared. It's not trying to reinvent anything, but it doesn't need to. It's just really good sushi. If you've had omakase in cities like Chicago, Boston, New York, or abroad, this might not blow you away, but for the Triangle area, it's top notch. The service was phenomenal, the ambiance was great, and the prices are reasonable for what you get. Overall, M Sushi is one of the best omakase spots you'll find in Cary or Durham. read more

Grabbed dinner here for a recent celebration and had a good time. First, I was a little disappointed that no one was present at the front desk when we walked in, and we had to wait a couple of minutes for someone to greet us. Just seems a little odd for a restaurant as nice as M Sushi to drop the ball on something this simple, but whatever. Otherwise, the staff were super nice throughout our meal, including our server. We were seated at a standard table (one booth seat, one chair) and I immediately noticed how long the table was between me and my wife. Nothing crazy but it did make the meal slightly less intimate somehow, and it also made it a little harder to hear each other. The tables were also quite close together, so it felt a little bit "NYC" somehow :) Not terrible but I guess I wouldn't consider it a super romantic spot. The all-black vibes were pretty interesting, though, and the walls kind of looked like volcanic rock or something. We booked the Grand Omakase for our table of two, so we were served a whole bunch of courses :) I was actually surprised at how quickly the food was brought out. I was expecting our dinner to last at least 2 hours, but we were there for only 1.5. I think I would have preferred a slightly slower pace, but the amount of food wasn't too overbearing at least, since each dish was quite small. My absolute favorite was the caviar with the fatty tuna tartare, but the sashimi and nigiri were also super tasty and fresh. Drink-wise, the beer menu was OK - I got something light to avoid overpowering the food, but I probably should have ordered sake instead. My wife got a glass of Riesling and I thought it was kind of yucky but I'm not a big wine person so take that opinion with a grain of salt :) Our bill ended up being nearly $500 after tax and tip, as the Grand Omakase was $165 a person. That's a little steep for me, but I do understand that top quality fish is expensive :) I enjoyed my dinner at M Sushi but I'll probably get a couple of rolls next time instead. read more

M Sushi is probably one of the best sushi establishments in the Triangle area. They offer a few different Omakase options as well as a la carte services. They are not cheap but the sushi is great quality. We had a reservation and it was fairly busy the night we came. We had gone to a few Omakases before so we're familiar with the process but our server did a great job at explaining everything and explaining the different cuts of fish. We didn't sit at the bar for the full experience but everything else was very good. They also offer a variety of drinks as well. The inside can be a bit crowded during peak dinner times so plan for that. It's a bit dark inside and goes for kind of like a night bar vibe. The bathrooms are nice. Once the Omakase is over you can order a la carte. Definitely one of the best if not best sushi options in the Triangle. They also have a location in Downtown Durham. read more

This was my first time coming here, and having heard all of the hype from my wife about this place, we decided to pop in for a weekday lunch. Arriving not long after the restaurant opened for the day, we were comfortably able to grab a table. But I noticed the seats began filling up during peak lunchtime and by the time we left, there was a slight wait. I ordered the sushi deluxe lunch combo, which comes with 8 pieces of chef's choice nigiri, alongside a sea trout and avocado roll and miso soup. Every bite was a savory adventure and totally worth the splurge. The service was fantastic and my water was topped off plenty of times throughout the meal. I'd definitely recommend this place for those of you that are looking for a high end sushi restaurant. Five stars all the way! read more

One of the celebratory events that we planned for my daughter's graduation from college was to have dinner at M Sushi. My son heard about them on social media and made reservations a couple weeks back. My daughter's graduation was yesterday so our reservation to M sushi was last night. Our original reservations were for 8:00 pm, but due to graduation activity delays, we called in to have the reservation changed to 8:45 pm. We didn't have any complications changing the time. We arrived a bit earlier than expected; however, our table was not yet ready, so we went across the street to another restaurant to have some drinks. We came back at exactly 8:45 pm, but our table was still not ready. We ended up waiting another 15 to 20 minutes before our table was ready. The ambience in this restaurant was nice and had a modernized feel and look. It is not a spacious restaurant. We ordered several things from the menu: Small Plates - Edamame and Scallops; Maki - Truffle Seared Tuna, M Special, Spider Roll, Dynamite Roll, and California Roll; Nigiri - Shime Saba House Cured Japanese Mackerel; Specialty Drinks. No one in our party liked the scallops. They did not taste fresh and did not have the seafood flavor. It was a bit bland and the texture seemed off. It was a little better with the sauce but still nothing that was appealing to anyone at the table. The edamame was good, but needed some sea salt on the top or mixed in consistently as only the ones on the bottom had the flavor of sea salt. The Maki we enjoyed. While they all tasted good, our favorites were the Truffle Seared Tuna, the Dynamite Roll, and the M Special. The Truffle Seared Tuna was unbelievable. It tasted fresh and was the most flavorful of all the other Maki. My ultimate favorite dish of the night was the Nigiri Shime Saba House Cured Japanese Mackerel. This was hands-down the most flavorful and best tasting dish. The texture was perfect, and it almost felt like it melted in your mouth. It was incredibly good. Overall, we enjoyed all the dishes we ordered with the exception of the scallops. The next time I visit this restaurant, I will definitely be getting a double portion of the mackerel nigiri. read more

I was overnight near Raleigh and asked the hotel front desk for a list of recommendations. He gave me a printout of restaurants nearby and I noticed one named M Sushi. Since I love good sushi I asked him about it. He smiled and said it was great, reasonable and had wonderful food. I tried it and he was absolutely right on! M Sushi is a gem located in the Fenton District near Cary. The food was very fresh, I had Yellowtail Nigrini and the M Sushi special roll. It was outstanding! In addition it was after 8 when I arrived, the place Closes at 9:30 but I was never rushed. I ate at the bar, being by myself, and the bartender was very courteous and friendly she took very good care to make sure I had everything I needed. I got plenty of soy sauce, wasabi and ginger root! Final bill was $37 with tax, which is very reasonable and the food was really more than I could eat(but I did anyway because it tasted so fresh). I'll definitely be back next time through town! read more

Pretty solid sushi spot with nice ambiance & service when we visited for lunch! I came with a party of 5 and we had made a reservation ahead of time so there was no wait, but the restaurant wasn't too busy during lunchtime. Unfortunately, two of the people in our party accidentally went to the Durham location so they had to trek all the way over to this location in Cary which delayed them by quite a bit. Our server was so gracious when we explained what had happened, and we didn't feel rushed throughout our meal at all. We shared the tuna crispy rice and crudo to start and both were tasty. I really enjoyed the combination of flavors for the crudo, though I have had better tuna crispy rice at other establishments. For my main entree, I got their M special roll which came with a sea trout / avocado roll as well as part of their lunch combo. The fish here is definitely fresh and high quality, and I like that their specialty rolls aren't too over the top -- it really lets the ingredients shine! The others ordered a variety of different items ranging from nigiri to other Japanese fare including the gyudon and curry udon. The gyudon was very delicious and while the curry udon was good overall, the flavor was a bit one-dimensional. read more

Another M restaurant down in the book, M Sushi! This was obviously one of the first restaurants I wanted to try post-pregnancy, and typical of the M restaurants, it did not disappoint! I loved the modern decor, especially the back wall made of rock. Our server was upbeat, knowledgeable of the menu, and had great recommendations. Per our server recommendation, we started off with the crispy rice and scallop small plates, which may have been my favorite part of the meal. The scallops were lightly fried so that they were still raw in the middle - the crunch on the outside was exceptional paired along with the smooth bite from the inside. The crispy rice was definitely my husband's favorite - The rice was incredibly crisp and the tuna and sauces on top packed in a powerful flavorful bite. We opted for the Truffle Seared Tuna and M Special makis, which both had wonderfully cooked sushi rice and were wrapped well. The quality of seafood here is incredible. We can't wait to come back and get the omakase next time. 8.5/10 s SMALL PLATES *Crispy Rice: spicy tuna, inari, kizami wasabi, mustard truffle soy sauce, yuzu tobiko, microgreens, & avocado *Scallop: panko fried Hokkaido Japanese scallops, tempura sauce, matcha salt MAKI *Truffle Seared Tuna: shrimp tempura, spicy bluefin tuna, eel sauce, truffle "O" sauce, masago, chopped chives *M Special: tempura shrimp, cucumber, avocado, spicy tuna, seared scallops, shiso, masago, chives, fried shallots, calamansi curd, eel sauce read more

M Sushi - Cary - Sushi Bars Near Me - Cary, North Carolina

I really really really like M sushi. I do prefer the Durham location, but this one in Fenton is much easier to get to, so we tend to come here more often. Same dark and chic vibe, but I prefer the aesthetic in Durham a little more, it feels more intimate, if that makes sense. M has consistently good sushi. I'm always happy with the omakase. To the point that, that's pretty much all we order. You can add on à La carte if you want, so we usually add uni, but you don't really need to, as it is plenty of food. My preference is to sit at the sushi bar, but they have table service too. You're in for a lot of food, during a dinner rush it can feel very leisurely, but it is just really well timed out. That said, I would not come here for a quick meal. It's more of an evening out experience. I wish Yelp allowed half stars bc it's more of a 4.5 for me than a 4, but it's still a great place for a date. read more

*So* sorely disappointed...sigh. I only recently heard about the Fenton development in Cary. I had a midday class very near there and was encouraged to see the many restaurants that were part of the community. Always open to trying new places, I thought I would head over for lunch after my class. I *love* sushi; reasonably enough, then, I selected M Sushi as my lunch destination. I was also swayed by the rave reviews they garnered on Yelp and elsewhere, as well as a first-person thumbs-up from an acquaintance. I arrived shortly after they opened for lunch and in fact was their first customer. As you'll see from the enclosed photo, seating is limited to a row of tables against the wall and at the sushi bar. (As you'll also see, the pic was taken after a few more guests had arrived.) I was seated at the corner table closest to the front of the restaurant. That was fine. My first issue was with the ambience. I think this was a case of there being a difference between what kind of space works for lunch vs. dinner. The dining area at M Sushi-Cary is a small, subtly lit space; there is no natural light (i.e., no windows to the outside world). That probably works just great at dinnertime, but no so much at lunchtime. I thought it made the small-ish room seem borderline claustrophobic. The next issue had to do with my server, a very friendly young woman whose name I will not share in the hopes that my issue with her was not attributable to her personally, but perhaps was due to the restaurant requiring certain behavior of their wait staff (although I can't imagine why it would be). My server repeatedly called me "my dear" and "my love." I am 65 years old. If anyone is going to call anyone "my dear" - let alone "my love"! - the roles should be reversed. I find that behavior incredibly unprofessional - especially in an upscale restaurant - not to mention patronizing. Yes, I could simply have said, "Please don't call me 'my dear' or 'my love'," but I think that would just have made the rest of the meal awkward. Onto the food! I had a perfectly fine glass of prosecco, the seaweed salad and the tuna roll with cucumber. I thought the seaweed salad was overpriced. Although it may appear as a generous portion in the photo, I believe that was due to its sitting on top of a bed of lettuce leaves. Other than that, it was a typical, fine seaweed salad. I was a bit disappointed in the tuna roll, but that was probably my own fault for not ordering something more adventurous/flavor-forward. All in all, I felt let down by M Sushi. I perhaps could be persuaded to return for dinner sometime, but will rule them out for future lunches. read more

So we go out to eat a lot. And Japanese food is what I loved. Took my wife for an nigiri omasake experience. So first off, we came to the wrong door. And the restaurant is on the other side. So for the experience, it was just too loud, too busy for an omakase experience. I would recommend that the restaurant make a quiet experience for omasake. Loved the smoke old fashion and my wife had the cab. For the nigiri itself, well - it was a 2 . Fish seems fresh, but I think they used different parts of the same fish here and there. For the fish itself, u barely could taste the fish because of the amount of sauce in the rice and on the fish! Omasake should always be the top chef! Our chef was not, but was next to the main, and in between he was making regular dinner. For an experience, this is bad. We been to many omasake, not our 1st rodeo.

We sat at a table for 6 on a Sunday at 1:30 for a friends birthday. Even though some of our party was late they were very accommodating. The place was not very crowded and we attend to well. Our server was so kind and efficient. We started with some small plates of crudo and crispy rice which were both sooo good and tasty. Our first rolls were the rainbow and maguro futomaki. Then some traditional maki with yellowtail and a dynamite roll. Dynamite roll was not very spicy if at all by itself. I recommend some wasabi if you need a lil extra heat. The cocktail was very spritzy, exactly what I was expecting. If you find yourself wanting a nice date night or celebrating a birthday in Fenton I highly recommend.

I'm so glad M Sushi opened a location in Cary. I came here for lunch on a Wednesday and it wasn't super busy, thankfully. We didn't have a reservation but was seated promptly when we arrived. My wife and I got seats at the bar so we could watch the food being prepared. I ordered the Chirashi Combo while my wife got the Sushi Deluxe Combo. The Chirashi was delicious - the amount of fish was very generous, the quality was great, and the price was very much worth it. It also came with a miso soup. My wife's Sushi Deluxe Combo had 6 pieces of nigiri and a sushi roll, and also came with a miso soup. The food was great, the service was friendly, helpful, and prompt, and the space is nice, new, and clean. Parking at Fenton is convenient, but may be a bit of a walk depending on where you park.

New and better This place is a revamp of the msushi of Durham and it is excellent. The decour is glossy and new. The nigiri omakase experience is probs one of the best in the area. The chawamushi starter was excellent - savory with a pudding like texture. The first 8 pieces of nigiri was delicious - loved the yellow tail, fatty tuna, and trout. The last 4 were not my favorite - namely the scallop and the eel. Ended things off with a crispy handroll which was very tasty tho a tad oily. Also interesting that they gave us the miso soup at the end, I was too full to drink it haha read more

BLOWN. AWAY. Absolutely floored. What an incredible sushi experience from beginning to end at M Sushi in their newer Cary location. The nigiri omakase journey has officially set the bar for what sushi can be in my eyes, and is now the major leagues. Every other experience I have ever had just got sent down, not to say that any of them were bad, but this was just so exceptional. From the jump, walking into M is like walking into a little slice of Jiro Dreams of Sushi mixed with almost a modern speakeasy. The sushi bar is the focal point of the restaurant, and the activity behind it is constant and buzzing. A half dozen chefs minimum, honing their craft and meticulously crafting their orders, including Peter, who I am told is the head chef and the artist behind our omakase experience. Somehow, even in this most modern and high end setting, there is nothing pretentious about it. The food is the center of the experience. Every step along the way, your meal becomes more and more "worth it" and you begin to appreciate the intricacies. I could wax poetic about each individual piece of nigiri, but there are a few that took me to a special place. The most surprising was the mackerel. A fish that I don't usually like because of it's oily nature, they completely turned that on its head for me. The right balance of vinegar, soy, and attention to ideal thicknesses and temperatures made it a totally different fish. Snow trout was a first for me, and we all agreed this was a favorite. The tour of the bluefin tuna, from the more typical bright red akami, to the slightly more fatty side (chūtoro), and the ultimate in decadence... the fatty tuna underbelly (ōtoro), is hard to beat as a favorite. They delighted us at the end with an ōtoro handroll, that I will absolutely never forget. If this wasn't enough, we were invited into the test kitchen side of M to indulge in a couple unique dishes by Connor (I believe the executive chef). Now, all of the staff at M were very professional, excited to share the experience with us, and engaged, except for Connor... ... who was also very funny, and displayed a real desire to elevate M to the highest level it could be. In the test kitchen, I had my first caviar experience. Caviar on top of homemade sweet cornbread and honey butter. NECESSARY PAUSE. Yes. It was an out of body experience, as you might imagine would be the case. After our caviar treat, we indulged in a dessert of chocolate ganache cake with cherry blossom ice cream and granola to add a crunch. The cherry blossom in the ice cream hits your senses immediately, like the best version of a seasoned perfume. There was no way to write a short review here. This was not only my top sushi experience, but probably a top 5 restaurant experience of my entire life in any category. All the applause to M Sushi and what they have built, and continue to build, in the Triangle. Make your reservations now, and drive as far as it takes to get to M, and have your own slice of sushi heaven. read more

I cannot believe I have never written a review! I have been here a few times now - once just because, once for their Omakase and this past Valentine's Day!

M Sushi is a delightful place to get a taste of Japan. I complemented my server on a well-executed presentation of my dinner. I came on a Friday and the usual Friday night recommendations apply. Those without reservations need to come close to opening time. Otherwise, making reservations is the way to go. We knew what we wanted to order before our server arrived. It was a busy night and we knew we'd be waiting forever if we didn't order promptly. Big thanks for bringing our drinks out swiftly. My pork tonkatsu special was done true-to-style. It brought back fond memories of my Japan trip last year. My mother's udon special was equally well-presented. Shoutout to the chefs. We savored every bite. The sushi bar experience revolves around appreciating the art of making each roll or piece of nigiri. The emphasis on craft is reflected in the price. Their special entrees are no exception. I look forward to trying their maki next time. read more
