City Market Sushi has some great sushi rolls, but also some that I feel like some miss the mark. We ordered the ahi poke, panko scallop, spicy hamachi, and smoking salmon. The ahi poke and panko scallop were 10/10 sushi rolls. They were unique flavors that I have not had before at other sushi restaurants. I really enjoy creative rolls that bring new flavors, and these did just that. The spicy hamachi and smoking salmon, for me at least, missed the mark. The spicy hamachi sort of tasted like your basic sushi roll, nothing special about this one. The smoking salmon has more layers to it, but I felt like the flavor was fairly weak in this roll. The interior is very nice, and semi-fancy, good for a date night. The staff were very nice and the food came out relatively quickly. Overall solid experience, would recommend!

We came for a date night dinner while on vacation and were absolutely blown away by the food experience. This tiny sushi spot is tucked away in an area near main downtown Raleigh but off the beaten path which made it a super quiet spot to enjoy some fresh sushi. I can tell you that my fiancé and I can never have just plain steamed edamame with salt ever again. The wok seared edamame appetizer with the chili sauce was out of this world and we are forever changed. The rolls we ordered and fresh fish were an absolutely delight as well. And the desert was also a pleasant surprise. I have never had a pistachio crème brûlée - pat yourself on the back chef. No notes! Overall, this was a surprisingly exquisite dining experience and I would definitely come back here again. 10/10 recommend!

This was the best sushi place I have been too. All the sushi was super fresh and tasty. I loved their Lo-fi cocktails and our waiter was friendly and make great recommendations. Great place for a date night or a girls night out.

Came in for a couple rolls as an early dinner and I was pleasantly surprised! City Market Sushi offers a variety of speciality rolls that are sure to please your taste buds. The ambiance is refined, with both table and bar seating, dim lighting, and bartenders at the ready to make your favorite cocktail. The menu has a wide variety of food and a great sushi selection. I opted for the Crazy Monkey and Spicy Hamachi rolls and both were great. Their spin on the monkey roll is panko crust, whereas other restaurants might use another form of crust or flaked to coat it. It was also served warm. Really good. The spicy hamachi is a cold roll and the flavors and texture were great. Neither roll needed any added soy sauce. Very good spot for a date night or anytime you're craving sushi.

Had such a wonderful dinner ! Had crunchy tofu and yellowtail as appetizer which were delicious! We got 2 specialty rolls which were also spot on- the mad salmon was just the right recipe! Service was attentive and the ambiance is great for quiet evening out -the dessert matcha green tea crème brûlée was soo good! Affogato was good too- not something we often see in a Japanese restaurant!

First time coming here and the food was great. I ordered Salmon Nigiri and Smoking Salmon roll. Somehow the fish on the nigiri just too big and thick for me. It was also a busy night even on the weekdays so maybe thats why it's slow at the service too.

TLDR: Amazing sushi, service, and ambiance. The parking makes my head go bald but just plan accordingly. Nice atmosphere! We placed a RSVP for 7:30pm on a Saturday night - roughly two hours before the time and was able to get the slot. Place was PACKED but they got our orders out asap so we only spent 30 mins max in there. Food:Sushi was PHENOMENAL. We hork everything down (from the ginger to the wasabi. ). The fish tasted fresh too. Everything was delicious so I would give this place 5/5. IF we are to compare across other sushi restaurants in Raleigh area - I would say it's around 3.5 or 4.Parking:Not a fan of Downtown parking but we were able to find a bunch of spots around the area (to be fair it was raining sooo...plan accordingly).

Not your normal sushi place. The rolls they offer are unique. Great food experience. I went there for my wife's birthday dinner. Reservation made on line. Had to change it and the lady handling this called me. She was very polite and helpful. Cozy and very clean.

My visit to City Market sushi was nothing short of perfect. The restaurant was fairly quiet and had an intimate feel. It's down a small side road that has a great overall vibe, as well. My server, Mayte, was incredibly polite, attentive, and professional. The menu at City Market was hard to choose from. So many of their dishes and rolls are so unique. I opted to try the truffle salmon and the play on textures and flavors was perfection, and then enjoyed the ultimate rainbow roll. Again, this was not like any traditional rainbow roll, it was truly the ultimate version of it. I capped off my meal with the green tea creme brulee, which was one of the most delicious plays on a creme brulee I have ever had. I cannot wait to be back in Raleigh so I can enjoy a meal at City Market again, and I hope that you check them out as well!
