- BBethanySan Francisco Bay Area •5 reviews5.0Dined 4 days agoThe best sushi in all of North Carolina. We were given dessert, a bouquet of flowers, and an upcharge for switching out shrimp for lobster all on the house because it was our anniversary. Our server was attentive and kind. Our meal here was the best part of our anniversary celebration.More infoO-Ku - RaleighPrice: Moderate• Japanese• Raleigh•4.9
- AAnnRaleigh / Durham / Chapel Hill •1 review4.0Dined on Jan 1, 2025The overall value was very good, even though we felt very rushed to finish and free up our seats. After we were provided food and drinks, there was no follow up for additional drinks, even refills on water. Being rushed at the end, took away from the overall experience.
