    Hibachi with steak, shrimp and scallops. (You f you see the bite in the scallop, I did that and decided to take a pic before i ate it all)
    danelle b.

    I had been wanting some hibachi, so looked on Yelp and they had good reviews. When you walk in, you place your order on a screen; unless paying with cash you would speak to cashier. I ordered the steak, shrimp and scallops hibachi with the fried dumplings and crab Rangoon. The hibachi was good, the dumplings were also, but I will pass on the rangoon next time.I would definitely go back.

    Was by myself for lunch today, and wanting something quick and healthy, I thought I'd give this place a try, and it totally fit the bill. First reaction walking in. Clean! Spotless from the dining room to the kitchen (which you can easily see), to the bathroom. Impressive. I didn't look too closely at the menu up on the wall, just asked for chicken & shrimp hibachi. (there is a less expensive smaller bowl option available). They also have steak & scallops. I can tell you that the price on the wall INCLUDES tax, and I don't believe they charged me extra for my tea either. It was under eleven bucks, and considering it was my main meal of the day, I didn't think that was bad at all, especially considering the... Quality! Both the chicken and shrimp were perfectly cooked, moist and delicious. Very lightly seasoned, but comfortably flavorful. The vegetables (broccoli, zucchini, onions...also cooked perfectly) I do have to remember to ask for no mushrooms next time, but fortunately for this fungus-squeamish gal there were only a few small easy-to-avoid pieces. They also bring a nice white sauce (come on, we all know white sauce is mostly mayo, but when they call it white sauce we can pretend it's not as caloric...hah! works for me!) that I kicked up with a packet of hot sauce. I do believe they have ginger sauce if you request it as well, as I think I overheard. Please note that my pic does not do this justice, especially the quantity. It was served in a deep plastic container, so the pic makes it look smaller than it was. I couldn't finish all the rice.

    In my opinion best hibachi around. Smaller portions than some other places but not greasy and great veggies. Always fresh and good food.

    Kazu Hibachi - Kids Teriyaki Chicken - $6

    Kazu Hibachi

    Hands down, the best hibachi around that I've tried. Ironically went to my local sushi place…read moretonight that's my go-to and I have always raved about their hibachi... now that I have tried Kazu's, I didn't like it as much. Not sure if that's good or bad news for me lol because Kazu is about 40 minutes from my house. Service was polite and attentive as I expected. Restaurant was clean but is limited on seating, just fyi. Hibachi is cooked fresh to order and my fave thing is that the veggies aren't over cooked and mushy. They still have a crisp to them. Thai tea was excellent too. Didn't taste like a premix (if it is).

    Decided to try this place for a late lunch on a recent Thursday afternoon. There are booths and a…read morelow counter with stools. I was told to sit wherever I wanted, and since they weren't busy due to the off-time, I chose a booth. Ordered the chicken and scallops combo, plus green tea and water. Tea and water were served in styrofoam. Not a fave of mine. But when the delicious food appeared, I forgave them. Especially since it was on a real plate. I had to ask for ginger sauce, but the yum yum sauce had already been put on the table in a squeeze bottle. Everything was perfectly cooked, plentiful and yummy. I would probably not order the scallops again because the flavor and texture were more fish-like than scallop like. Loved the chicken and all the veggies. Fried rice was good as well. Didn't have anything added to it, but it didn't need to. Even though I ate a lot, I still took home enough for another delicious meal. Would definitely go back, especially considering how inexpensive it was.

So, a group of my friends and I have monthly dinners, and that particular month, we chose Waraji, which I have been to before and loved. I won't go into details about that particular night, but our experience was pretty bad (I think it was just a random off night). I have NEVER in my life called a restaurant to address a situation, but I just had to in this case. The manager was VERY validating and apologetic about our experience and offered another meal for all 9 of us fully compensated. I was NOT expecting this in the slightest, I was merely trying to bring it to the managers attention, but I was also very surprised and accepted the offer (because delicious sushi that is free? Of course). Let me tell you, our second experience was absolutely AMAZING!!!! TAI was our server and she was FABULOUS! So sweet and attentive. The food, as always was delicious! The sushi there was fresh, tasty and beautifully presented. They even went above and beyond offering up a complimentary bottle of wine and an assortment and amazing desserts. We were all very impressed. Waraji has been and will be my go to spot for sushi in the Raleigh area! If you are looking for authentic sushi with good ambiance, check out Waraji!

They all said it was the best sushi they've ever had. I was super impressed by the expansive drink menu. I ordered a nice red blend and plan to order a Sake flight next time. I loved the atmosphere and didn't realize it was so big inside. Our server was super nice and helpful when ordering. I ordered the teriyaki chicken without onions and our server was so awesome that she let me know that the ginger dressing on my salad contained onions. She wanted to make sure I didn't have an allergy. How amazing?! The chicken teriyaki and the veggies it was served with were absolutely AMAZING! Seriously, IDK what they did to those veggies but this may have been the best meal I've ever had! They gave my husband a scoop of mango icecream with a candle in it for his birthday. Love that! We are looking forward to our next visit to Waraji.

We also had the black cod which was nice and buttery. Didn't realize it came with two handheld pieces and one played piece. Nice surprise! Had the seaweed salad which was good, very forward tasting. we had the truffle tuna roll and rainbow roll. both were fabulous. truffle tuna was tangy and clear cut. rainbow roll was so good we got it twice! simple but crispy and smooth.

Later I saw the actual restaurant is a bit small with a few tables and sushi bar so I'm thinking they have out grown their space and after eating the food I can understand how that happened. As mentioned it has a small footprint but we didn't wait long. Our server was very kind and provided excellent service. We started with the gyoza which were out of this world! They had the perfect char on the dumpling without making it too seared. The Sashimi plate was incredible, each piece of fish melted in your mouth. If I have to give one critique I'd say our yellow tail was still a little frozen but that didn't stop me from devouring it. Crispy Salmon Roll was light and refreshing and their Rainbow Roll was like no other I've had. My husband and I have two reference points when it comes to sushi; mine is Japan where I was introduced to it as a young Marine, his is Hawaii where had the most amazing sushi about 5 years ago. Not many places can compare to those experiences but Sushi Mon was VERY close!
