Editorial Review for Waraji Japanese Restaurant & Sushi Bar in Raleigh NC – by Taylor Davenport

In Short
Despite its strip mall location, Waraji screams minimalist warehouse chic--an open ceiling with exposed vents and pipes, shiny black furniture, a granite sushi bar and a row of simple tatami rooms. Presentation is the forte of Waraji's fresh, reasonably priced sushi--from intricate nori rolls to elaborate ginger garnishes to the imported Asian dishware.

Even better, indulge in one of Waraji's good-deal dinners, such as the toshiya--assorted sushi, beef teriyaki and shrimp tempura, served with miso soup and a house salad.

My family and I absolutely LOVE this restaurant. The best and freshest sushi in the Triangle, in my opinion. Nice atmosphere, great service, good place for families or for a couples dinner out. The only disadvantages I can see are that they are not open on Sundays (last time I checked) and that you sometimes have to wait for a table. I recommend avoiding peak hours, especially on the weekend. But, even with the wait, it's well worth it!

Pros: Fabulous sushi!

Cons: Wait for tables at peak times

Everytime I eat at Waraji I try something new. Today was a new roll. Someone recommended an off the menu item called Scary Jerry,apparently a guy named Jerry created this roll which has a little bit of everything in it. The flavor was spicy(but you can get it mild), delicate, and Big! On top of all the great flavors, if you check out the dinner menu you can practically get miso or salad with most orders, even the sushi! Overall the staff is great, the food delicious, and the time, a delight!
