    Hibachi Vegetables
    Jeanette N.

    Big portions on hot plates, not styrofoam. I asked for double veggies and it was huge. Well worth the extra $2.50. The location is clean and the atmosphere as well as the music is pleasant. Our new favorite hibachi.

    Soba Noodles with Vegetables
    Shenna W.

    We have visited this location for a long time. Always had a good experience overall. However, the last few times have been well less than desirable. I believe it will be our last time going. We ordered: Spring Roll Hibachi Steak Side of Soba California Roll Cream Cheese Salmon Eel Cucumber Roll The Soba noodles were okay. Nothing really to say about them, good flavor and not oily. The spring rolls had some odd spice/seasoning and were a little oily than normal. Not sure if this is due to reheating them or just sitting in the oil longer. Where things went downhill for us was the Hibachi Steak and the sushi. Have you ever had Wasbi that has no heat? No, me either, but I did tonight. The Wasbi was dark, dark green and well flavorless. The ginger was hard and well that still isn't the worst of it. The fish in the Eel roll was old! We couldn't even eat it just because of the smell! The other sushi had no flavor at all. We just throw it all away. Then for the steak in the Hibachi - there was less than a handful in the whole thing - very disappointing. To pay all of this, you expect more, but that wasn't the case.

    a really nice & convenient spot for any hibachi or noodle cravings! everything came out super quickly, not even 10 minutes after ordering. the owners were very sweet & conversational. i especially loved the soba & added some yum yum sauce from the hibachi added some creaminess too! definitely would love to try the fried dumplings next time & some sushi pieces too. we had a late lunch so there wasn't too many people but it's also very quiet & peaceful given the decor. the place gets a lot of natural sunlight as windows cover each corner. they had fountain drinks but also had bottle ones, i chose the peach sparkling water which was really good! we'll come back for dinner some time!

    Hibachi Chicken

    Fresh, hot, and reasonable wait time. The portions are great too. Definitely one of my go-to food places now

    Not fancy, but perfect for pick up and go.

    The Hibachi Shrimp was good. My kids also enjoyed their Hibachi Chicken. Nonetheless, the restaurant itself could use some updating.

    Great food at a very fair price. Sushi isn't bad either (it is basic sushi bits hosts the spot).

    Stopped by M Sushi in Fenton for lunch and wow it was so good!! When you arrive there is parking…read moreavailable in the lot behind sport & social or parallel on the street. Just as a heads up, some of the parking is paid by the hour. Just flagging to help avoid any parking tickets. Walking into the restaurant there are two doors when you walk through the first door. One door will lead you to m sushi and the other will lead you to the sister restaurant m tempura. We went with m sushi this time, however I definitely need to try m tempura. The restaurant feels moody, upscale and intimate. To start the meal I ordered a miso soup while looking through the menu. For starters we ordered the Crispy Rice (Spicy tuna, inari, kizami wasabi, mustard truffle soy sauce, yuzu tobiko, microgreens & avocado) and the Tuna Nigiri Trio (Akami, chutoro, otoro topped with caviar). Both starters were excellent and these are must orders. For entrees we just split a couple rolls: 1) the Truffle Seared Tuna (Shrimp tempura, spicy tuna, seared bluefin tuna, "O" sauce, soy glaze, masago, chopped chives) and 2) the "M" Special (Tempura shrimp, cucumber, avocado, spicy tuna, seared scallops, shiso, masago, chives, fried shallots, calamansi curd, soy glaze). Both rolls were excellent, tasted fresh, and the flavors were well balanced. Overall, M Sushi is still my favorite sushi restaurant in the NC triangle for the quality of food and overall ambiance/experience. I highly recommend checking out M Sushi if you are in the Fenton area.

    My friend and I stopped by M Sushi for an early dinner after an afternoon of shopping at Fenton…read more Neither of us was very hungry, so sushi was the perfect light bite before heading home to our families. When we arrived, the attentive host greeted us and seated us immediately after confirming our reservation. We were seated in a cozy corner of the restaurant, and our server came over shortly afterward. She was knowledgeable, welcoming, and made sure we had everything we needed. We both ordered the rainbow roll, and my friend also had the miso soup. She was craving calamari, but unfortunately, it was not on the menu. The sushi was fresh and delicious. The restroom was clean, well stocked, and had everything you would expect. I especially loved the scent of the soap! Parking is convenient, with plenty of spaces available behind and beside the restaurant. The sushi is a little more expensive than at some other restaurants, so be prepared to spend a bit more. Overall, we had a great experience, and I would definitely return!

    The best bowls of ramen leave you feeling healed... and the Tofu Curry Ramen from Noodle Boulevard…read moredefinitely did that for me. It's tough out here being a vegetarian who loves authentic ramen haha, but this was amazing. All the toppings (tofu, bok choy, bean sprouts, fried onion, sour pickle, green onions, fried wontons) were great- the sour pickle was an unexpected but pleasant surprise. The broth had an amazing depth of flavor- definitely curry, but not overwhelmingly so with a hint of refreshing lemongrass (it was also very light and smooth). The noodles were springy and got well-coated with broth. You get to choose your spice level, which is nice. This spot was packed on a weekday night, which was a good indication. Ambiance is casual. Service was fast and friendly, although I'd have appreciated being made aware of a substitution charge for my mom's ramen. Good amount of parking. 9.5/10 would recommend!

    The service was good, waitress was pleasant, no issues there…read more A busy weekday night, a loud group at the big table in the middle didn't bother me as I was at the bar. The short rib ramen was good, but the noodles were short, like they were cut or made short on purpose. The shrimp shumai was disappointing. Small bite sized portions, but they were soft. After cutting into one, I found out that they use rice as a filler with a bit of shrimp. I've never seen rice used in shumai, unless it's Shanghai sticky rice shumai. Also got a unagi don togo, it was good, just a bit small on the portion of eel, but it's hard to mess up an unagi don.
