    Excellent solo dining experience. I arrived a bit early for my reservation and was seated immediately. Although I've been to M Sushi a number of times before, and am a huge fan of sushi, I'd ironically never tried the nigiri omakase. This was wonderful experience! The flavor, smell, and mouthfeel were among the best I've had anywhere in the country. The only criticism I have is that I found the caramelized onions to be a bit overpowering on the buri toro. Apart from the nigiri omakase, I also ordered the uni. The uni they source from Hokkaido is always delicate and sweet. I've never had any overpowering bottom-ocean flavor. It was so good I had to order a second!

    The omakase was an amazing experience. Highly recommend sitting at the bar for it! Our server was knowledgeable about sake pairing, and our chef was so talented. I’ve never been so determined to finish a meal!

    M Sushi is the premier sushi joint in the triangle. The food, the ambience, the service. There is nothing like it.

    I would certainly say that it’s one of the best sushi places in the Raleigh-Durham area, but I don’t like their rolls as much as other places. Many rolls have flavors like pickled roots, or the Rainbow roll had tons of lime juice over it, and in both of these cases those flavors dominated and that’s most or all I could taste. With that said, my teenage kids really loved the rolls they had, so it’s all subjective. You won’t be disappointed in trying M sushi out. Otherwise the small plates we had were awesome, and the fish quality when having nigiri or sashimi was also very good.

    Hands down our favorite sushi spot, we love the Surham location. The food is so fresh and the service is always impeccable.
