Great food, and great service. Food was on point and the waiter was on the ball. Nothing was lacking in service. Would recommend you check this place out. Best sushi I've had in a long while.
Randomly found it while trying to find a new sushi place online. One visit and it's our new favorite. Best tasting sushi, best presentation , and best service I've probably ever had. Can't wait to go back.
Best sushi I’ve ever eaten. The name of our app is escaping me, but it was a lobster filled sweet potato delight. The California and Angry Dragon were both superb, the freshness factor was off the chart and the sweetness of the crab negates anyone scared of the heat. We’ll be back every time we’re in Raleigh
Best damn sushi outside of Vegas or japan. I’ve helped deplete the ocean of tasty morsels of sushi for a long time both home and abroad, but this is top of the mountain for me personally. Do yourselves a favor if ever in the area and stop by for a fantastic treat.
I can't even begin to explain just how beautiful this place this. The staff is the best. Never have i met a more friendly group! The food is not only delicious but every dish is literally a piece art. If you haven't been to this establishment you must change that. 5 star service, 5 star food by far the best restaurant in Raleigh! <3
It was amazing! We had the Mini Pizza, Fish Wontons, California Roll, & Tuna Dumpling for appetizers. Amazing! Especially the Fish Wontons. For dinner we had King of the Sea & Chicken Fried Rice (I can't remember what the other person with me had). Everything was delicious and presented expertly and beautifully. I actually took pictures of my food because it was so perfect. Our waiter Brett was knowledgeable and gave excellent service as well. The only thing I would suggest is I'd like to see a surf & turf entree. King of the Sea was absolutely delicious but I would have rather had steak over the lobster. Will be back!
Walked in crowded by the door, they lost my reservation but right away hostess was very friendly and took action and got us the next available table without any going issues. The place was packed ! I had the Japanese margarita oh my was it good! All 4 if us were very satisfied with our food, everything was excellent from presentation to taste. Nothing was missing, for sure we will drive our 50 minutes there again.
Went with my wife for an afternoon lunch and we had an incredible experience. The food is incredible, and the presentation of each dish is a work of art.
The favor of each dish was awesome! Definitely coming back again!
First visit tonight - We will be returning many times in the future. The food was great. The presentation of the food was top class. All of the staff were extremely professional, polite and attentive. The food is very reasonably priced. Looks as though they have a comprehensive but very affordable lunchtime menu - Monday thru Saturday. You should really try it - one of the best kept secrets in Raleigh.
This place is AMAZING! And very fairly priced for the quality of the food they serve. Just try it one day, I PROMISE that you will keep coming back. The food is delicately prepared and the presentation is perfection! One thing I really appreciate about this restaurant is the manager. She always remembers you and greets you with a smile and will ask you how you're doing and chat with you.
One more thing, ASK FOR SOPHIA! Sophia is the BEST waitress I've ever had in ANY restaurant. She is so knowledgeable about the menu, and the way she describes the menu items will make your mouth water. She also makes sure that when your food comes out, it is presented perfectly! Please ask for Sophia to be your waitress, you won't be disappointed.
First time there. Great food, perfect lunch portions served so beautifully-I almost didn't want to eat it! Great prices, fantastic service. Only issue was-they served shrimp fried rice with the shrimp tales still attached-my son had issue with that, and I'd never seen that before.
First time I went to this place and I liked it a lot,my new fav sushi 🍣 place
If you like sushi you need to go try this place!! By far the best sushi I've ever had!
New favorite sushi spot! love the selection of rolls and the fish is so fresh.
Been there 3 times and it was delicious every time :) the Ajisai roll is awesome!
My husband and I have been eating here for two years. The staff and owners are warm and friendly. The food and the service has always been impeccable.
The outdoor seating is so nice here that if we had not just spent 2 hrs outside with the heat index at 103° we would have sat outside. But the indoors is lovely too. Although we came at a weird time of day for late lunch our waitress was very attentive and she could tell we were acquainting ourselves with the menu and was nearby to provide help or take our order. Let me just say, the menu is one of the most attractive menus I've seen, and we just dropped our favorite sushi place since they cannot adapt the menu for gluten free and then they took our signature drinks off the menu, but now we have this place! We started with the Dynamite Rock & Roll, it looked incredible, and the mini pizzas. . It was after this my waitress found out I was gluten free and let me know what I couldn't have known from the menu. I did eat the mini pizzas without the crisp and it was packed with flavor. After that my waitress let me know that most sushi rolls they could make gluten free and I ordered the Ajisai roll. . So delicious and the Raleigh roll & again amazing flavors. We have our new sushi place!!!
delicious delicious delicious.
bit costy and the seating / vibes were not doing it for me hence the one less star.
overall for quality sushi I'd suggest coming here.
the lobster roll was prettier than it tasted..
girl on fire was nice and the ajisai
We found Ajisai as we were looking for a sushi place and it did not disappoint. I ordered the sashimi deluxe and the mason jar lager, and my wife ordered the crunchy spicy salmon roll and the spider roll.
The sashimi was great, I will definitely be back to savor that again. It was presented uniquely on a large bowl of ice that glowed.
I've visited this place a couple of times and I must admit that the food is consistently excellent! 🙆🏼 The fish is quite fresh, which complements the sushi rice's slightly sour flavor. However, during my last visit, the server not paying proper attention to my order, resulting in incorrect orders.
Food was amazing, wine was great. I love the atmosphere and it’s a great place for a date night! The presentation of every dish was unique. We will definitely be back - My sushi plate was on fire!
Food was pretty good. Salmon was great but the sushi was above average. Host was great but our server was a bit slow getting back to us and it wasn't too busy. Loved the outdoor seating. Dishes come served looking great.
We enjoyed delicious cuisine on a Saturday night! I highly recommend the mini sushi pizza.
I ate here two days in a row. Yesterday I had the tonkatsu Ramen and the scallop appetizer-very good. Today I brought my husband for lunch after church and he really enjoyed it. The lamb chops were very tasty and we enjoyed the seafood dish as well. We had previously ordered takeout from this restaurant and were super impressed and felt that it was, definitely a gourmet food experience. Excellently service also. I will say that for the price some of the dishes are a little on the small side per serving. Especially the scallop appetizer.

Love Ajisai! This is the place that made me fall in love with sushi. The tuna rolls and Manhattan roles are especially delicious. They've got great seaweed salad, chicken fried rice, and Pad Thai as well. The service thus far has been very friendly and prompt. I would definitely recommend it!
I eat take out for lunch here at least 4 times a week! The staff is absolutely amazing! The food is very delicious! Good Quality, Great Prices!
