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

I took my boys to Masa Sushi & Ramen to celebrate my older son's birthday, and this year was a much…read morebetter one than last, when he spent his birthday in the hospital. So spirits were high right from the start. For the record, I've been here a handful of times before, usually for lunch, but this was my first dinner visit. Parking was easy and plentiful, and even though the restaurant was fairly busy, we were seated right away. Always a nice win. We kicked things off with a bowl of edamame that was perfectly salted. 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.

Came by during lunch and tried their omakase combo, and it is a delicious way to get multiple items for a good price! I ordered the sushi and sashimi combo (includes side salad and miso soup) for $16, and an appetizer of edamame (~$8). The fish was fresh and I loved the ginger dressing on the salad. Our server was very attentive and gave great service. All of the staff were friendly. My friend and I were able to enjoy our meal without feeling rushed.

My view on sushi as a whole has completely changed...in an absolutely amazing way…read more Omakase Style: basically translates over as "I leave it up to you." The chef curates a multi course and highly personalized tasting menu. My wife and I had the pleasure to partake in this unbelievable experience for our 21st anniversary, and it was hands down one of the best meals we've ever had. Not this month, not just sushi, not just in NC...but one of the top meals of all time anywhere. We had the Grand Omakase, which came out to 10 courses in total. I won't go into detail on each and every course, but let's just say that each and every course was of the highest quality fish, sushi or meat we've had anywhere. From the sushi flown out straight from Japan, to the beluga caviar and A5 Wagyu, and everything in between. We've had sushi across the nation and overseas, 100s of times. This has taken the top #1 spot out of all of them, especially with what we were served in the Grand Omakase package. Impeccable service, 8 sushi chefs all working efficiently at once in an open style sushi kitchen, all within a classy (but not pretentious by any means) establishment. The Grand Omakase package here is one of those bucket list items for anyone who loves sushi, top shelf meats and fish, and enjoys a high level foodie experience.

Three of us tried this sushi restaurant again and were once again disappointed…read more We only got one roll this time because of the experience last time and once again it was unfinished. We can't explain what is missing but .... The two appetizers were the best part of the meal. I had a shrimp dish that was just ok. The shrimp tasted "off" and the sauce lacked flavor. It came with a salad and Ginger dressing that was not as good as other places. One of us had chicken teriyaki and we were shocked when it was served. Not hot, barely warm with a mystery sauce. That didn't get eaten either. We all had take out boxes and took it home and doctored it up the next day. The service was good and the atmosphere was nice but we will not be back.

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. We came on a friday night, only waited about 20 minutes to be seated inside. our waiter was so nice and didn't mind us ordering a few things at a time. Would totally come back!

Visited Sushi Mon on a recommendation from a local. Initially I wasn't sure about it because…read moreseating was in what seemed to be the lobby of the building it's located in. 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!

Definitely worth visiting if you're shopping at Hmart and get hungry.

This is one of my favorite places to take people for sushi…read more Gas station sushi? Yes, please. Being completely honest, even my husband was skeptical when that's how I described it to him before our first visit, and now he shares in my joy in introducing people to this wonderful little spot. They do à la carte service, with some regular features, some specially curated; and some timed options. They close between lunch and dinner, to reset - but don't kick people out right at closing. I have seen other patrons tell people walking in as they are closing up, that they are closing up though, which is kind of cute, and helpful to the business.

Grabbed lunch here recently and had a great time!…read more First, there were a handful of dedicated parking spots for Akami, so that was nice :) We came kind of near closing so there were a few openings, but I'm not sure what it'd look like during peak hours. We were seated immediately and ordered quickly because of the aforementioned closing :) I got a couple of specialty rolls (the phat boy and the voodoo rolls) while my wife got a sashimi appetizer platter. The food was prepared quickly, and oh man, I was not ready for the amount of food I received. Next time, I'll definitely get one roll and then a couple of pieces of sashimi or something. Anyway, the voodoo roll in particular was super tasty! Maybe the best sushi I've had in the state. The phat boy roll wasn't bad but I'll probably skip that one next time. My wife enjoyed her sashimi as well. Service was polite and efficient throughout. Overall, I really liked Akami and would definitely come back!

This raw fish over rice and spring mix was delicious, a little on the pricey side. The Bulgogi fries were super delicious. There was a hint of sweet in this dish so it wasn't just cheese topped bulgogi. The jalapenos packed a little bit of punch but perfectly proportioned. My husband enjoyed his Dolsot Bibimbap. Every dish was presented well. It looks like a popular late night place for young people. I would come back. Note: the location was a little tricky as it appears to be at a corporate park.

Second one was the "CHERISH U" which had spicy tuna and avocado, topped with salmon. Also had their yellow curry. The broth was delicious but would hold the onions next time if it's an option. Their rolls were BOGO which is always a plus when quality isn't sacrificed! Food came out quick and our server was super sweet. Overall will be back!

We then had the Tom Kha, Mongolian beef, and chicken hibachi meals. The portions are very generous so for many plate options it would be enough for 2 people. The service was good and the ambience is perfect for a family or friends dinner. Overall we liked our experience and will come back to try the BOGO sushi! One last thing I liked was how their menu has pictures of all of the meals so you get an idea of what it looks like (although for some of the pictures I feel like it doesn't do it justice).
