“I’ve been to Waraji a few times now and have never been disappointed. My go to is the “sushi for two” and it is the perfect amount to leave you feeling satisfied. You can tell that their selections of fish are great and super fresh, and the miso is some of the best in Raleigh. I went last night and it was hands down the best quality of fish I’ve had from them. Will always recommend Waraji” – Emily Hermann

“Absolutely hands down best place for sushi in the whole raleigh area. I have been looking for a place as good as this. We had great food in Vegas and struggle trying to find good places to eat. I your wasabi was good until we came here. Their ginger drink was amazing. I had the girl on fire, ajisai, and tomo rolls which were just great. Highly recommend and this is our new go to place. Plus they had awesome beats.” – Erik Bradley
