I had a wonderful experience at M sushi - service, ambiance, and the food were all excellent. I sat at the sushi bar and ordered the nigiri omakase. Both the server and chef were attentive and the dishes came out at the right time. The fish were fresh and high quality, and I particularly enjoyed the vinegar rice. It really felt like a true omakase experience with the chef explaining each fish and checking in to see if it had the right amount of wasabi. In addition to the 12 pieces of nigiri, I was given an option for an additional piece of my choice which was a very nice note. The value was amazing as it was $85 for 16 courses. Highly recommend getting the nigiri omakase! Breakdown of omakase: 1st course: Crudo with ponzu and yuzu pear foam (I really loved this foam as it added a salty/tangy note)2nd course: Chawanmushi with trout roeNigiri courses: sea bream, flounder, shima aji, akami, chutoro, otoro with caviar, yellowtail, sea trough, amberjack, mackerel, scallop, anagoLast courses: negitoro handroll, tamago, and miso soup

One of the best chirashi bowls I've had! The fish is ample in this one and the sushi rice is seasoned and warm. The omelet noodles make a really great bed and a texture amplifier to the fish and sushi. Would come here just for this chirashi bowl again!I feel like the portion is just right to make you full off of this and it was quite a wonderful solo date treat for myself. The service is wonderful and they pay are really attentive! The bar seating is gorgeous!

I have raved about this business to everyone possible. I took a friend here tonight swearing that this was the best sushi in Raleigh.I enjoyed the Nigiri Sampler - amazing all of it, so fresh and so buttery and encourage all to enjoy. Then I ordered the Bluefin Tuna Tataki and it was subpar. It tasted fishy and frankly I felt like it was the leftovers. Slightly overcooked and tasted fishy.100% recommend this restaurant for sushi but I am so sad that a basic appetizer spoiled my experience and upset my stomach for the remainder of the evening.

The best sushi experience I have had in the US. I didn't eat Nigiri, before I dined here. Went with 3 friends and we all got the omakase. Let's just say, that I actively look for nigiri now, but I will have to come back to M sushi to have the experience I want. They have set a new bar for me when it comes to good sushi/nigiri. After having the omakase, I tried the M special. Usually the more ingredients the more I like the roll. But after having the omakase, the m special roll felt like too much. This restaurant has set the bar for my dining experiences so far in 2024. I don't often revisit restaurants, but this will be a staple in our household. Do yourself a favor and eat here

We ate at M Sushi Cary for lunch. The Cary location definitely has a luxurious-upscale vibe to it that might be more bougie than the Durham location. We made a reservation for a Saturday lunch, but it was pretty empty when we got there. Our server was friendly, and our food came out promptly. We ordered the M Sushi Deluxe 8 piece, Gyudon, and M Special. The Sushi Deluxe was well balanced, and each piece was a melt-in-your-mouth experience. The Gyudon was more filling than we expected, and the meat was cooked to perfection. The M Special was packed with different flavors but wasn't overwhelming like some specialty rolls at other restaurants. We enjoyed our meal at M Sushi and would highly recommend, especially at lunch time for their specials!

New and betterThis place is a revamp of the msushi of Durham and it is excellent. The decour is glossy and new. The nigiri omakase experience is probs one of the best in the area. The chawamushi starter was excellent - savory with a pudding like texture. The first 8 pieces of nigiri was delicious - loved the yellow tail, fatty tuna, and trout. The last 4 were not my favorite - namely the scallop and the eel. Ended things off with a crispy handroll which was very tasty tho a tad oily. Also interesting that they gave us the miso soup at the end, I was too full to drink it haha

I'm so glad M Sushi opened a location in Cary. I came here for lunch on a Wednesday and it wasn't super busy, thankfully. We didn't have a reservation but was seated promptly when we arrived. My wife and I got seats at the bar so we could watch the food being prepared.I ordered the Chirashi Combo while my wife got the Sushi Deluxe Combo. The Chirashi was delicious - the amount of fish was very generous, the quality was great, and the price was very much worth it. It also came with a miso soup.My wife's Sushi Deluxe Combo had 6 pieces of nigiri and a sushi roll, and also came with a miso soup. The food was great, the service was friendly, helpful, and prompt, and the space is nice, new, and clean. Parking at Fenton is convenient, but may be a bit of a walk depending on where you park. We will be back!

I cannot believe I have never written a review! I have been here a few times now - once just because, once for their Omakase and this past Valentine's Day! I will always be a fan of anything M does, as sushi is my favorite food of all time. Their staff is always friendly and inviting and the chefs do a great job explaining the dishes. I included images from both the Omakase and Valentine's Day (chirashi bowl & tuna tartar) meals. I have nothing more to say than: everything M sushi creates, I will eat. 1000000%!

Wow...just absolutely incredible. This was some of the best sushi I've had this is such a great spot!! I came for a solo sushi date and ordered the sushi deluxe special and tuna trio. IT WAS AMAZING!!! Every bite of sushi just 5/5. The nigiri was beautifully prepared and words cannot describe how lovely every bite of the tuna trio was. I genuinely almost ordered it twice. I cannot wait to be back for lunch again and soon for dinner too! I already know their omakase is probably incredible. The ambiance is intimate but can be casual. I went on a Saturday for lunch and had no wait to be seated. Its a beautiful spot for a date or I enjoyed being at the sushi bar as well! Service was great too, he was attentive and had good pacing. I am coming back soon!!! I'm always on the prowl for incredible sushi & I'm happy to report this is some of the best in the area.

M Sushi is a delightful place to get a taste of Japan. I complemented my server on a well-executed presentation of my dinner. I came on a Friday and the usual Friday night recommendations apply. Those without reservations need to come close to opening time. Otherwise, making reservations is the way to go.We knew what we wanted to order before our server arrived. It was a busy night and we knew we'd be waiting forever if we didn't order promptly. Big thanks for bringing our drinks out swiftly.My pork tonkatsu special was done true-to-style. It brought back fond memories of my Japan trip last year. My mother's udon special was equally well-presented. Shoutout to the chefs. We savored every bite.The sushi bar experience revolves around appreciating the art of making each roll or piece of nigiri. The emphasis on craft is reflected in the price. Their special entrees are no exception. I look forward to trying their maki next time.
