This location was open for lunch on a Saturday while the Durham location was not. The restaurant was about half full and we sat at the sushi counter. Our server was nice but the food took a long time to come out. As always, the fish is fresh and high quality. Last time I was shocked by how generous the rolls were. This time they were more average in portion, maybe because we ordered different ones. The truffle tuna roll was good, though the truffle flavor is slight. I didn't love the rainbow roll because it had a mango(?) sauce that really threw me off. It was sweet and sour but also had a slightly gritty texture as mangos do. I wasn't expecting that, but maybe you'd like it if you usually like mangoes in sushi. read more

Came here for a birthday celebration and enjoyed the Nigiri Omakase-it was an unforgettable experience. The service was warm and attentive, and every bite was a masterpiece. While the space is small, the intimate ambiance adds to the dining experience. M Sushi clearly knows what they're doing, an absolute gem. read more

Restaurant locations good and nice There's a big parking lot so you can find a spot to park I had a reservation there so when I went it wasn't a problem but they have my table last table which close to the restroom so I have to see everyone going to the restroom Customer service was fine they was fully booked and we have to wait a lot for the servers to come The food was good Ambiance was fine I like the lights it's not bright but there's no space between each table so you feel all the customer sets together read more

Last minute pop in for lunch. Ordered the sushi Combo that included the trout and avocado roll and miso soup. If anyone ever pays attention to sushi rice, they'll notice their rice was really good. Not sticky and mushy. All together, the flavor of each piece was clean and distinct. Simple all the way. read more

I have to go all the way for this one, the food was different in a very good way, the seafood they use was so tender it melted my taste buds! Our waitress Brianna was very informative while we ordered helping us navigate the menu! It's on the pricy side but worth it! The place was packed for a Sunday night all tables full and the beautiful bar seemed packed. The ambience was dark windows closed but still nice, no one can see in or out. Brianna told us there's another one in Durham. I didn't know that. My wife asked if we can come back for her birthday in a few months. That was an easy decision! read more

I love this place. Sashimi always fresh, and this place clean and nice. My family and friends love to eating here like always.

Delicious, expensive, what more can you want? Great date atmosphere and fantastic attentive service.

We pulled up to the restaurant and had no idea where it was. It kind of resembles a speak easy entrance. So, in case you don't know- it is on the corner and there is a large black door and a small sign. One Side goes to the kitchen and the other side is the sushi part. I absolutely loved the atmosphere. It was really trendy, and amazing for a date. The servers (other than Andrew) were not friendly. Our server was almost to the point of being rude. Nobody spoke and it made it very uncomfortable. The miso soup came out after the rolls and the drinks took a really long time. Service was very slow. I want to shout out Andrew again, who was not our server, but came over to greet us and talk. The menu is pricey and has some really great rolls. We started with the shrimp toast which has a wonderful dipping sauce. It was a really good small plate. My seaweed salad was tons of lettuce with a very bland ginger dressing under the seaweed salad. The tuna tartare was excellent but very overpriced for such a small amount. It was more of just tuna than tartare. The M roll and rainbow roll were very good. I really loved the atmosphere, but due to the service and high price of things that shouldn't have been, I cannot give this restaurant more than 3 stars. I had much bigger hopes. I would absolutely love to try the omakase menu, though. read more

I tried the Cary location because it's close to home. Cary location 3stars, Durham location 5stars. Cary won't let you get Omakse unless the whole table does. In addition, the menu is just not as good. The bento boxes are very limited at Cary M sushi. Basically, Cary location is trying to get a halo effect from the Durham location, and it's just not close. read more

Was so excited to hear that M Sushi will be at Fenton & couldn't wait to try it since we've had amazing meals at the Durham location. This location is much smaller than Durham so seating was extremely tight. There was very little space between the seating at the sushi bar and the tables. This makes it even more of a challenge with servers bring out food and people walking to their tables or the restrooms. I was afraid for our server as he was trying to balance the flaming hot shabu shabu broth almost over my husband's head while people were navigating around him to get to the restroom. My husband was bumped multiple times as people ventured to & from the restrooms in the back. Service was excellent and very attentive. Our server was constantly on the ball ensuring that everything and everyone was well cared for. Food-wise, it fell short of expectations. Prices were extremely high for the overall quality especially for the sushi. The unagi maki just wasn't good. Instead of tasting the delicate flavor of the eel, all one tasted was the soy glaze and the overpowering fried shallots that tasted like they came from a can at an Asian grocery. The kaluga caviar was not the quality that I expected for $20 per piece. It was overly salty and didn't have the briny quality that good quality caviar has. We did however enjoy the lobster shabu shabu, kampachi, chutoro and scallop nigiri. Overall the experience was meh...& not sure if we'll return when there are other options out there. read more

Excellent food for an anniversary dinner. Make sure to reserve ahead even for weekdays. We arrived on time and still had to wait 15-20 mins beyond our reservation time to be seated. This annoyed me so I docked one star. We liked the wagyu beef appetizer the best. Sashimi was excellent, and we ordered a variety of tuna, shrimp and yellowtail options. Our waiter was knowledgeable and prompt which we appreciated because we were just there for the food. We had our order ready to go within five minutes of sitting down and he got right on it. Dessert was a cool item: coconut sorbet in the coconut shell. Not too sweet with crunchy cacao nibs! Caveat: Ambience was loud and a bit cramped, not a place for a quiet, intimate dinner. It was hard to converse due to closely spaced tables. read more

Great sushi. I visited the downtown Durham location. Very nice ambiance. The prices are high, but like I said, it's great sushi.

Love the sushi here. Everything is fresh and tasty. Prices are reasonable and the ambiance is very nice. Great date night place, and there's lots to do at Fenton where the restaurant is located! read more

I'm not sure what the hype is. I was expecting to see batman first of all. Why am I dining in a cave? This is Cary, not Gotham City. And it isn't just the unpleasant aesthetics. Are there any Japanese people who work in the establishment? Or even dine at M Sushi? I certainly did not see any, and yes, it is not a good sign. It's just another wannabe, pretentious overpriced restaurant that lacks freshness and flavor. Just stop trying to be New York or San Francisco (which, to me, has the best sushi besides Japan itself, by the way). Just....stop. I was told that if you want their real Wasabi, it's a $14 upcharge. Now, I'm not claiming that's true, but if it is, get over yourselves and go to Japan (or San Francisco) and you'll understand what I'm saying 100%. Sigh. How disappointing. I give it 3 stars for the servers, not the food or the ambiance. read more

An expensive disappointment; wish we'd gone to the Durham M Sushi instead. They tried something different at this location: strict traditional Japanese sushi bar. We ordered Omakase (whole table, as required) and got some very traditional cudo, nigiri, miso soup, and a tiny tuna handroll. Ingredients were excellent, but it was overall underwhelming. None of the creativity of the Durham location's omakaze. More disappointing was the atmosphere. It's cramped inside, and all the hard surfaces mean it's LOUD...like averaging 85+db, according to my phone. So while the service was attentive, we simply could not hear what the server was saying. Finally, I have to mention the bathrooms--they were horrendous. Overflowing trash cans and water (I hope) splattered everywhere. Out of toilet paper in one, out of paper towels in another. Not at all what I was expecting for $450. Won't be back. read more

We had a lovely meal sitting at the sushi bar. The ambience was very nice and the servers and chefs as well. The presentation of dishes was beautiful also. read more

Everything was fantastic! The food was 1st rate and our server could not have been better- can't wait to go back!

My wife and I were visiting from Austin, TX again as my sis and parents moved here 5+ years ago from Seattle. We have yet to find a good sushi place in the tri-city area, but we can now say that we have. My wife, Michiko, is half Japanese and we both travel outside the U.S. quite a bit, so we do prefer more authentic flavors eating out. We both ordered the omakase at the bar (we squeezed in Tues. night with no reservation right at 5pm when they opened, but know they are pretty much booked so I'd get reservations). We both had macha green tea, asahi, and sake and our server Jane was awesome checking in with us regularly while we were served 1 plate at a time from the chef across the bar using the fresh wasabi available that's always worth the upgrade everywhere. All fresh and tasty--I didn't take pics of everything--trust me when I say my wife and I were full by the end--we both were simply relieved to find a place that met our expectations--only place in Raleigh, Durham, Chapel Hill, RTP, Cary to do so. 5 stars. Jane was really nice and friendly and her service was really worth noting. read more

May have been the day of week or time of day, but quality of fish was slightly worse than Durham. Interestingly, the quality of rice was better. Tried both locations during lunchtime. Even so, definitely they have the best nigiri and chirashi bowls we have tried in the Triangle thus far. Very excited to keep coming back. Very open to changing the review if appropriate! read more

I love this restaurant. The food is excellent and the service is beyond excellent! Great martinis as well!

This is a great omakase for the area. The space is beautiful, service was pretty good (not great) but efficient and the fish was quality. Overall, I think it meets expectations and we will return. read more

Top-notch sushi, top-notch cost. Just be prepared. Service was impeccable. Sitting at the bar area is our recommendation.

By far the best sushi spot around. Top level service and great ambiance. Hard to get in but call in advance but worth every $

M Sushi is the best sushi! We tried several dishes from rolls, sashimi, sea weed salad. Every dish was delicious. You can taste how freshness of the fish. M Sushi is our new favorite sushi restaurant. read more

One of the best sushi experiences I have ever had. When you walk in it gives speakeasy vibes. The black door and dark lighting really made it feel cozy. We sat at the chiefs counter and could watch them make our food and hand it directly to us as it was finished. The food taste extremely fresh. The service was very friendly and fast. This is a must go to. read more

Fabulous food. All the fish was amazing and high quality. Service was a bit off, seemed almost like they were hesitant or lost at times. The ambiance was first rate. The hostess was amazing. read more

We've been going to the Durham location for many years. At least 20 times for lunch and dinner. Solid. Good fish. Good ambiance. We tried the Cary location for the first time last night. A strange experience. I mentioned to the host who sat us that I was a regular in Durham and was excited to finally make it to Cary. He creepily replied, in a hushed whisper, "Well, you're in for a treat. This location is much more authentic and elevated compared to Durham." Hmmm, ok. Our waitress also reiterated that mantra, except she came across as pretentious, condescending, dismissive. We had seaweed salad, edamame, 3 rolls, and 10 pieces of individual sushi pieces. They were all fine, but not sure what's so "elevated" about this place. I think the Durham location is much better on every level. Let's be honest. This sushi is a step up for North Carolina but, having lived in Los Angeles for 12 years, this place would be middle of the pack there, and that's being generous. The sushi portions are small and prices high. The rolls are drowned in sauce and have too many ingredients. Sushi should be about simplicity, where the fish is the star. That's not the case here. The final put-off was at the end of the meal when the waitress asked if we wanted dessert. I asked my wife if she wanted some mochi ice cream or other dessert, to which the waitress replied, again in a condescending, dismissive tone, "We don't serve mochi ice cream here." You would have thought I asked for ketchup. Not good. No need to make the trip to Cary a second time. Please treat your customers with a little respect and lose the attitude. read more

A nice high end sushi place in Fenton. Three of us ordered the Nigiri Omakase set, was served around 15 pieces of exotic fish as sushi with a mixture of flavors dancing in your mouth. Excellent services. The interior is a bit too dark for my taste but that is the only thing I can complain about, will be back again. read more

Wow!!! I love this place!! What a wonderful surprise this from this quiet little Resteraunt! The high quality tuna with avocado maki literally melted in my mouth. We also enjoyed the Nigiri 12 piece sampler that had so much flavor. It was a perfect compliment to our individual choices. Ask for Andrew who also gets 5 stars for excellent service! read more

They did it again!!! We sat at the sushi bar and were fortunate enough to talk with owner Michael Lee. He explained that , although this is an M Sushi there are some very intentional changes that have been made compared to it's sister restaurant. Mike explained the rice is a major change and one of their most important ingredients. They source theirs from Japan via NYC where it is milled and then sent to Cary. Another major change is the fish they offer here, and they were not kidding. Just look at those photos!! We got the Omakase and everything was explained eloquently and the service was top notch. We even got a little crash course on the wine! BTW get the White Rioja!! It's made in Spain by a Japanese wine maker and designed with it specifically being paired with sushi. I had 3 glasses. I'm going to be a regular here and can't wait till the Test Kitchen side is open! Book a resi, sit at the sushi bar, and enjoy the best sushi in the state. read more

The menu is NOT the Durham menu ... it is very traditional. Not what I was expecting. The fish was very fresh and high quality, just not what my friends and I were looking for. There were no good sauces like spicy mayo,etc. The soy sauce was also different. The waitress was very nice though. Hats off to her. read more
