    Yuzu mocktail
    Christine W.

    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.

    Nigiri from omakase
    Peter V.

    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.

    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

    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.

    Tuna SP CRISPY RICE

    Pretty good sushi and nice location. Nothing wrong with the sushi per se _ I'm just a bit of a sushi snob. Rice was perfectly cooked but the crispy rice tuna was a bit greasy for my liking. Great miso soup too.

    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.

    I've been to M Sushi twice and if you are feeling a little boujee this is the place to go for very good quality sushi. It is on the pricer side but it is worth it.

    Sushi Deluxe lunch combo
    Kevin C.

    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!

    My friend and I got the lite omakase set and it was pretty good! It was $65 so I cannot really complain, but I think next time I will order the Al La carte menu items instead. Service was great our waitress checked up on us often and timed our nigiri perfectly also made sure we always had water. I loved the interior of the resturant as well. There's a huge lot for the mall you can park at.

    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.

    This place is a staple for me. I come here often and it's always a solid choice. The sushi is always fresh, the staff is always kind and they know us and acknowledge us when we come in which always just a special touch. The atmosphere is intimate and the decor modern but not pretentious. I highly recommend coming here whenever in Fenton.

    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.

    Scallop (small plate)
    Sarah M.

    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

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

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.

The group at our table devoured these appetizers, good stuff. For my meal I went with what looked like a new selection on the menu, Chicken Katsu (panko chicken cutlet).
