My friends and I visited Sushi Suyu tonight for $4 sparking wine and $13 specialty rolls. The restaurant is absolutely beautiful, the food was delicious, and our server Shawn was the BEST! I ordered the KFC (Korean fried chicken) and two specialty sushi rolls. The KFC and the rolls were divine and I am so happy to have lots of leftovers! read more

Really good sushi! loved the portion size and the prices. Very cute spot to have a casual night out but could also be a cute date night. The service was great, our server was attentive but not over eager. When I was asking about their non-alcoholic drinks. The server did offer to make me a mocktail! She asked if I liked pineapple, I said yes and she said they could make me a mocktail! I was really excited bc I didn't see that option on the menu. It was sooo good!!! Very sweet and refreshing! I'd love to come back & try more specially rolls off the menu & I'll definitely will be ordering the spicy rice bites for an app again -- insanely delicious! Highly recommend! 10/10 I would say the only thing I didn't like was the dumplings. I usually LOVE dumplings but these ones definitely were lacking flavor and texture. Wouldn't order those again or recommend them. But everything else was delicious. read more

My husband and I came here on a Saturday night for a dinner date and we had a good meal and a nice experience. We were seated immediately and the service was great. I wish I had tired this restaurant sooner, it truly feels like a hidden gem. I can't wait to come back to try some of their sushi lunch specials and their weekly specials! Pork Dumplings: Perfectly pan fried dumplings (I loved the slight char) and the sauce was amazing! KFC (Korean style fried boneless chicken): I loved the Korean style sauce, it was perfectly seasoned and just the right amount of spice for me. The chicken was perfectly fried too. Good amount of chicken for the price. Chirashi Bowl (chef's choice of assorted fish on top of sushi rice): My husband's entree. The amount of fish was generous and it was all fresh and tasty. The dish was served in a smaller bowl than he expected, so the fish to rice ratio seemed off. While he enjoyed it, he said he wouldn't get it again because it was not worth the price for the amount of food he got. He was still hungry after he finished the bowl. If they doubled the amount of rice with this dish, I think it would be perfect! read more

Last week in Raleigh, North Carolina, we went to lunch here a group of four and enjoy some delicious sushi. The restaurant was nice inside a shopping center. The host/server was nice and sweet. The sushi was delicious, taste great, and the seaweed salad was my favorite. I don't know what type of dressing that was used on it, but it was so delicious. If you love sushi and you never tried seaweed salad. I recommend going in here. read more

Phenomenal service and fun happy hour specials if you like drinks! The service is what stood out the most here. Sean was attentive, friendly and knowledgeable. Never left us wanting. We weren't super hungry when we dropped by so we just had some happy hour sparkling wine and shared a couple rolls. Flavor was good with both rolls but the salmon roe nigiri was quite small. Otherwise, fresh fish and good flavor! read more

Sushi Suyu - Yellow Hello and Tuna Turner Rolls - Sushi Bars Near Me - Raleigh, North Carolina

I've been going to Sushi Suyu's Apex location for YEARS so I was thrilled about their new location in Brier Creek. A close friend of mine goes to Orange Theory in the same shopping center so I got regular progress updates leading up to the opening. Since they officially opened, I've had a chance to dine in a few times as well as get takeout several times. Compared to the Apex location, the Brier Creek location is much more spacious. I find the service to be friendly and consistent. For takeout, you can call to order ahead. I don't think you can go wrong with any of their specialty sushi rolls so definitely go for those for your first time! read more

Sushi Suyu - Four specialty rolls and mackerel nigiris - Sushi Bars Near Me - Raleigh, North Carolina

Solid 5 Stars for dine-in, delivery was okay A friend and I recently stopped in for dinner, and We were impressed. We each ordered two rolls (so four total), and every single one was excellent--super fresh, beautifully presented, and full of interesting flavor combinations that actually worked instead of competing with each other. The restaurant itself felt clean, cozy, and even festive thanks to the holiday décor. Service was warm and attentive without feeling rushed. Overall, a lovely dine-in experience. We've also tried carry-out once, and while the rolls were still good, they didn't quite hit the same level as dining in. The flavors didn't mesh as well, and the freshness wasn't as noticeable. Texture was a bit mushy for those rolls. Not a dealbreaker, but definitely worth noting. If you're planning to try this place (and you should!), I highly recommend dining in to get the full, fresh, beautifully-balanced experience. read more

Came here for lunch and it was very solid overall. The bento box was a really good deal for the lunch special, with big pieces of sashimi and good portion sizes. The gyoza were tasty, and the KFC (Korean fried chicken) was surprisingly good - crispy and flavorful. The poke was alright - not my favorite since it had a bit too much sriracha. The wasabi was legit though and had a real, sharp kick. The interior is pretty spacious and they have a lot of seating inside but the tables have a decent amount of space between them so you don't feel like you're sitting next to everyone else in the restaurant. Staff are also very nice. read more

I hang out with a group of folks who like to try out different restaurants every few weeks. They suggested this place, and it's sushi - of course I'm gonna go! It's in a newer shopping center, and the place is very nicely appointed inside and out. The dining area is mostly screened from view when you arrive, which is nice to avoid distraction, but frustrating when you are trying to find your party. Once seated and presented with a menu, I thought things would be OK, but none of the rolls listed had any familiarity. There was no Rainbow roll, dragon roll, etc. They are all given new names and new combinations. After some discussion with the waitress, I was able to make a selection for something that would be along my preferences, but until it arrived I had no idea whether it would or not. Thankfully, it did. The flavors were good, though the sauces weren't as deeply nuanced as the traditional flavors of the sushi bars I have been to. It was good, but quite different. Others in the group had other options, which were all well received. We will probably revisit this place in a few months, and I'll try to update this review, but for now, I'd just make sure you know what your desired flavors are and how to communicate them to the waitstaff, because you won't find your words on the current menu. It's still good, and worth the trip. read more

I was returning home from a trip and needed something to eat. I found this place due to feeling the taste for my favorite sushi roll, (California rolls). I thought they had Pad Thai but I was mistaken and ended up ordering the Soy garlic ribs. The ribs is a must try. I think it should come with rice. It seems the items are al carte. A little pricey but the food was delicious. I share return. Service was great, friendly person who took my order. read more

My brother was in town and he loves sushi! We ordered a few different rolls for takeout! Everthing was nicely labeled. Their menu had a lot of different rolls than I have seen at other places. My favorites were the T&T roll and the spicy tuna rice bites. Definitely will eat here again! Next time as an eat in guest! read more

I was very pleasantly surprised by my visit! It's hidden away in the HT shopping plaza near Brier creek. It was cute inside, not fancy but causal feeling with the open space concept. It was pretty cold inside, but fine with a jacket! The food was very delicious and service was great. The bulgogi burger surprised me, it isn't like a regular burger but pieces of meat in a bun. The flavor was very good of the meat and my partner loved it! I prefer that kind of dish with rice but it was fun to try. The sushi roll was so delicious and so were the dumplings. I got mackerel to test out their nigiri and I loved it so ordered the sampler but didn't enjoy that as much as they put an incredible amount of wasabi under the fish, that was all I could taste. Clean inside and nice playing. I would come back and bring others. read more

Overall, I was very impressed! I got carry out once and wasn't as impressed but decided to give it another shot because I think Carry out sushi is a little sketchy. My friend and I split 4 rolls, all of which were great. The service was great and it was very cute inside with Christmas decor! I know there are lots of BOGO places around but I think the quality of this was much better and worth the price! read more

Outstanding sushi with great service! We were impressed by the interesting appetizer options; the spicy rice bites were terrific. Then we tried several specialty rolls and loved all of them. The veggie roll was particularly good--with delicious stuffed mushroom caps atop each slice. Loved the decor, too--especially the burlap lined light fixtures. Hope to be back soon! read more

Our experience here was just ok. The Tokyo Manhattan was good. Miso soup wasn't great - bland and flavor profile was overpowered by the seaweed. The specialty roll I had, the Hangover Salmon" was dull and lacked flavor. My wife got the "Rolling in the Deep" and liked it. The dessert was pretty good. Not totally ruling out another visit, but certainly won't rush back. read more

Sushi Suyu was number 1 on the list of Sushi restaurants on Yelp and that's why we chose it. It is very lovely inside, well designed, interesting and intimate without feeling crowded. We had four delicious rolls that two of us shared, it came to our table quickly and was beautiful. We ate every bite, every grain of rice. Our server was fantastic, efficient and not hovering. It was a fantastic experience! read more

Love the Apex location, so my husband and I are so happy there's a location near us that's equally as yummy! The food is always fresh, flavors are always 10/10 and the staff are very nice. Highly recommend! read more

Shawn was wonderful and helped with recommendations! Sushi is wonderful and came out fast! The spicy tuna bites were excellent :)

We love Sushi Suyu's Apex location and were super excited to hear that a closer location in Raleigh opened up! This location offers a comfortable and spacious environment for dining. They have bar seating and tables. The service was excellent - our server was attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable about the menu and all the food came out so fast. Most importantly, the sushi itself was incredibly delicious. The rolls were expertly prepared with a great balance of flavors and all the appetizers were so creative and yummy. I highly recommend the Mul-Hwae for an authentic Korean taste. read more

Nice atmosphere, mediocre to bad sushi. My five year old makes more presentable rolls. Mushy rice, bland and expensive miso soup. Tofu app was tasty, but it was listed as tempura but it was definitely not tempura. read more

This was truly the best sushi I have had in the Triangle. Innovative, fresh and delicious!! We will absolutely be coming back.

First time at Sushi Suyu after waiting for it to open at the Brier Creek location. Our server was great and the styling of the restaurant is so trendy and cute! Got a couple different options from the menu, originally went for sushi but didn't see a ton of sushi rolls that interested me so decided to try some other things along with the Eel specialty roll. Got the soy garlic kfc and the sushi nachos which were both so good! I wish I could get a bottle of the sauce from the chicken it was that good! read more

Would not recommend. Sushi isn't just not good it's borderline bad. Fish had a pungent taste and smell like it was old. Otherwise the rolls had little to no flavor. Was expecting to enjoy at least one roll but they went 0/4. The dumplings were good. Many significantly better sushi places in the area. read more

First, great service. Next, my sushi was amazing. I grew up in NYC and I can say, I know good sushi. Absolutely the best tuna I've ever had. The dumplings are so good! My wife loved the cardboard (not plastic or foam) carry home box. This place is a must go! read more
