The sushi was amazing. The service was great! I asked if they were able to turn my spider roll into a hand roll and they did with no problem even though it isn't an option on the menu!

I'm not sure why people aren't talking about how wonderful this place is. I have been coming here for years, and as my appreciation in sushi and knowledge has improved with time, as have my thoughts about this place. For one, the sushi is always fresh. The fish is inexpensive and they give you a lot! Like way more than most. Tuna belly is only $8 for 2 pieces. The rice is sticky and not overpowering in flavor. Pairs perfectly with the fish. Everything is just so very good. They kind of over do it with the portions. For example, a tuna avocado hand roll has 3 pieces of avocado in it and 2 pieces of tuna. Really remarkable place. I highly recommend. They need more recognition for sure.

Got a late dinner with a couple of friends about an hour before the restaurant closed. We were the only ones there. Went for two simple rolls: the crunchy spicy salmon roll and the crunchy spicy tuna roll, which came with 6 pieces each. (It seemed like the salmon and spicy tuna were actually mixed into each roll.) I thought the rolls were very good and I had zero complaints. Prices were very reasonable. Taste | 4Atmosphere | 4Presentation | 3Service | 3OVERALL | 4

Our favorite sushi place in Raleigh and we've tried most of them. Fish is fresh. Portions are generous. Prices are fair. Staff is friendly. Recommended.

Ok. For all of the California roll and Hibachi people. This review is not for you. New York, San Francisco, some of the best sushi ever. NC ..... Hako is the only place to go. The fish is always super fresh and tender. Fong ( I think ) does an amazing job preparing and delivering the best Sushi in the Triangle and as far as I am concerned, the freshness rivals any big city. No replacing NY sushi, for the experience, but the freshness is always there!!!!! So. Go. Enjoy your sushi. It is some of the best!!!!

Tucked away in a plaza off of Glenwood Hako is a super solid dinner spot. I wasn't super in the mood for sushi when I went in so I had a roll and sampled some other things off the menu. I started with the classic crab Rangoons and they were quite good, we accidentally got an order of edamame as well! For rolls we got spicy tuna and shrimp tempura both super tasty. Our friends got a whole bunch of rolls and they definitely have a lot of things you don't see on the menu a lot of places. They got a roll with broiled cheese and scallops on the top that looked super tasty. They also have a sweet potato vegetarian roll that everyone raves about. Service was good, the space is small so the waitress is pretty much always around if you need to call her over. I'll be back!

Some of the best sushi in town, worth the extra cost.The inside isn't fancy, that makes the experience even better, no frills, quality fish.People who gave this 3 must have just because of the environment and the fact they don't do BOGO.

I was really impressed with this establishment and I think they're taking COVID precautions seriously. As for the food, I've tried an assortment of roles and so far I've been impressed. The first time I ordered from Hako, I got the crunchy spicy roll combo - which was okay. Three rolls for a little under $17 seemed decent enough, and it came with a soup/salad. I'll admit, I wasn't blown away and I don't think I can say that this was the best sushi I've had in Raleigh. But it did the job and I was by no means disappointed.As for COVID precautions, Hako is not allowing customers to dine at the restaurant. When you walk in the front, a table is blocking your entrance into the establishment, and someone is right there at the register waiting to take your order. Hand sanitizer is also available. Hako also has a rewards program type thing, where if you make enough visits and spend $20 or more, you get a stamp on a card that will eventually get you $20 off an order. So overall, I think the food is okay, the COVID precautions are top notch, and the value is decent. Would recommend at least trying it out.

Noticed that the fish that they used are not on ice. All the rolls in my order were flavorless and took about 45 minutes to receive my food while there were only 3 other tables of two people in the restaurant and one of them was already served. Halfway through my meal, my stomach started to hurt.
