Sushi Tsune

Sushi Tsune was my favorite sushi restaurant in Raleigh (and honestly probably my favorite restaurant overall). The sushi was traditional/classic (intentional ingredients and not covered in a ton of sauce) and all of the fish was fresh and very tasty. I also branched out and tried their Japanese dinner options and appetizers which were all delicious. Beyond the food, the atmosphere was very warm and inviting, with a unique area with two chabudai for a more authentic experience. The staff always remembered regulars and would ask how you’re doing. Sitting at the sushi bar, the Chef himself would talk to you while he made tons of items for all of his customers. All of this for a great value (large portions at modest prices) compared to other sushi restaurants in the area. Chef Tsune and staff, thank you so much! Getting Tsune on Friday nights before COVID and takeout so many times during lockdown will be sorely missed.

My favorite restaurant in Raleigh. The best Japanese restaurant that I’ve been to in NC. My mouth is salivating just thinking about their Ten Don (my go-to meal). I have never eaten anything disappointing at this place. Everything is delicious, I kid you not. You have to be there early to get a seat. Lovely intimate setting and the staff is AMAZING. We especially love Lee, she’s the best! If you haven’t been to this place, you are missing out on a gem!

A little pricey, but that's pretty typical of sushi, which I ate--and was awesome. I had the Dragon Roll. The place has a really quaint, small town Japanese feel. And is a great place for an intimate dinner... I was there with a business colleague, bit the place was very calm and quiet. The staff were very polite a courteous, and it appears to be a small locally owned business. If you're looking for Japanese Cuisine or Sushi. Definitely give this place a try.

A stand-alone sit down restaurant not far from the North Carolina State University campus. Right on Hillsborough. A little expensive for most college kids but definitely a nice dinner for a special treat. There are several things on the menu under $10 and huge portions specifically the udon bowls. The menu has a nice Japanese selection, the waitresses are amazing, the food came out fast and hot -always a nice surprise.

Giving the restaurant 5 stars does not do it justice. I love to give it sex or more stars because visit my favorite place to go to. The waiting staff is always friendly, and the chef is more than willing to teach you a to eat sushi properly. 10 hours 10 place to eat just watch out for that wasabi 😂
