City Market Sushi

The sushi was phenomenal here as I had the smoked salmon and California roll. Very fresh, but the cost of sushi was very pricey. You definitely get what you pay for here as it has more of a fancier vibe here.

I’m knocking off one star here because of the combination factors of high cost and the fried pork belly was really disappointing. They were thinly sliced that I felt like it was borderline thick bacon. Pork belly should be very thick and chopped in chunks. It felt a bit too fried up, which took away a lot of its distinctiveness. Dipping the sauce with it made it a lot better, but it should’ve tasted much better at its own right.

The mochi ice cream could’ve been colder. They melted a bit too quick than others I’ve had. Strawberry was way too sweet, but the mango was fantastic. Stick with the sushi and you won’t be disappointed.

I’m very picky about sushi. And this place is really really good. You can tell their fish is fresh tasting (not fishy at all). Their roll options are diverse and Ive loved every single one I’ve tried so far. This is the best sushi I’ve been able to find in Raleigh. Definitely one of my top faves over all

Very fresh sushi. Great place for vegans. Get the avocado, cucumber, and vegetable rolls. And DEFINITELY get the Green Machine roll. The way they make the tofu is so delicious. The tofu appetizer and garlic edamame is extremely good as well.

Trendy spot in downtown with delicious sushi selections. Their sushi is a complimentary balance of traditional Japanese flavors infused with American tastes. Not to mention, the fish quality is definitely noticeable. Worth the price.

The sushi here was unreal. My girlfriend and I split 4 specialty rolls and loved each one. The two I remember were the black tiger and spicy dynamite.

The two best things about this place are the high quality ingredients and balanced flavors. For example, the tuna here was buttery-soft and tender. Nothing ruins a tuna roll for me like chewy or tough tuna. The tuna here is amazing.

The second piece is the flavor balance. Each of the four rolls I had was prepared so you get a taste of every ingredient without any one item overpowering the other components.

Love this place and I will be back!
