Kai Sushi and Sake Bar

Great food, excellent sushi! I tend to only eat nigiri and sashimi and sometimes maki rolls, so I don't usually eat specialty rolls. Kai always has fresh high quality fish that melts in your mouth. I usually get the 'Kai Combo A' which is a combo of sashimi and nigiri with any roll of your choice, which for me, is usually a tuna maki or salmon maki roll.

The food was good . No chopstick trainers for kids . It was very hot in there no a/c . There is a $3 charge for credit card . No music. No wifi .Very limited seating inside .It is nicely centered in a good area .

This is a top sushi place for us. We go for the 5 roll special, though there is also a 3 roll special. We liked everything we tried except the Raleigh pop-- too much fried on the outside made it too rich and can't really taste the filling. Very nice presentation. It's a little pricey, but all good sushi are these days. It's a cute restaurant, on the small side. We went for late lunch and there was only one waitress. She was so busy! Menu via QR code. Once we placed the order, our rolls came out fairly quickly. I'd recommend for a date night.

I had a good experience at this restaurant. The staff went above and beyond - they were incredibly friendly and accommodating, even allowing us to dine when they were close to closing. They gave us a complimentary edamame to start with while we waited for our orders.The sushi was fresh, but the standout was definitely the toro sushi. I'm already planning to order more of those on my next visit. The clam miso soup was equally refreshing, and they were generous with the clams.Additionally, ample parking made it hassle-free. I'll definitely be returning for more of their other items!Highly recommend!

Solid choice for sushi. I feel like so many sushi places have gone down hill but this one has remained solid. They have raised their prices but at least it still tastes good!!! I love the rolls with the black rice. They seem to have the best flavor. Very much enjoy their takeout special. Main complaint: it is so hard to get them on the phone because the phone is always busy. So many people trying to call in all at the time the place opens. I don't love eating inside because of it being loud but it is definitely one of the best sushi spots in the area.

I love Kai. I live in DC and come here every single time I visit my parents in Raleigh. It's the best sushi I've ever had! I haven't even found a restaurant up near me that tops it. My favorites are Angry Tuna, Crunchy Salmon, Screaming O, White Tiger, and Diablo. (We always get the five-roll special). We love getting a table with Mimi. Highly recommend, Kai!

We ordered take out from this place and I have to say I'm very impressed with the way they handle their sushi to-go. The take out came ready with chopsticks, soy sauce, and napkins. But most importantly it held together well in the box. They had a great selection of rolls, which made it difficult for us to choose which ones to pick. There is a special that you can get for either 4 or 5 rolls, so if you're really craving sushi for dinner I would definitely recommend getting the special.

Our go-to spot for amazing sushi in North Raleigh! We love sitting on the outdoor patio during summer time. Service is always top-notch, even though it gets packed with dine-in and to-go orders! Sushi is excellent. Everything we ordered was chef's kiss. Highly recommend!

Probably some of the best sushi we've ever eaten around Raleigh but service wasn't so good. We waited quite a while to receive our food. We went during lunch. My son enjoyed how the restaurant was decorated.

BEWARE!! I'm so glad to have read other recent reviews- they are adding a 20% tip to all take out orders before you sign! This happened to us tonight and I looked back and they've done it on all of my recent orders. I love their food but this is SHADY SHADY SHADY business.
