This place was tight! Love the unique cuisine. The place was very clean. Our server was knowledgeable and on point. Manager was very cool and hands on. Cooks were talented tasting and presentation spot on. Good addition to our city. Would recommend for date nights with the wife here.

Such an incredible experience. We especially loved the tortellini… it felt like the most amazing comfort food even though the combinations of flavors are not what you would consider comfort food. The service was amazing and it my friend and I had a great time celebrating her birthday. I recommend for anyone in the Fenton to dine here! Can’t wait to come back.

I was so excited to try another M restaurant! I came with a friend for dinner on a thursday night and had a reservation. The restaurant was relatively small inside and they had bar seating. We were told my our server that the plates were meant to be shared and each course got bigger as you go on. My friend and I shared a bunch of dishes and they were all delicious. I will say, it was a little pricey for the portions you got. I didn’t feel like the shu mai was worth the $15. Loved the sushi roll we got and the dumplings. The ishikaya Bbq was good and we got 5 oz of Wagyu beef. We got a matcha cheesecake to end the meal and it was good. I spent about $65 (this is how much i paid after splitting the bill) with no drinks and that was before tip. I would recommend this place for a special occasion

We thought we were having dinner at M Sushi, but instead booked a reservation at M Izakaya….Turned out our mistake was for the best! Christina, was our server, and really was fantastic! She was very knowledgeable about the different Sakes, as well as all the food when we asked for suggestions. We started with blue fin tuna and yellow tail nigiri. Definitely try the tuna! Second course was a scallop dish, plus KFC(Korean style chicken) wings which were excellent! Had the sea bass dish which was also amazing! Ordered one more round of wings and we were good for 2 people. If you dine here, definitely ask for Chistina if you want excellent service. Highly recommend this place and we will be back!

Had a very enjoyable dinner at M Isakaya. More casual than M Sushi in Durham, but a solid offering. In particular enjoyed the build-yourself pork jowl bao buns and the nigiri options were each a tasty bite.

We’ve been to M Test Kitchen a few times and were curious about what was different. The menu seems larger and it was nice that it now offers some sushi items. The wagyu bbq is one of our favorites from M Sushi, and it was nice to enjoy that too.
The restaurant is really cute and service was good, but the food this time strangely missed the mark. We ordered the corn ribs, which were so overwhelmingly sour that we couldn’t finish the dish. We also ordered the Szechuan pork belly, which instead of being spicy or flavorful, felt just like a salt bomb. These two dishes were really difficult to have together as it felt just like the flavors were too intense and not well considered at all.
We also asked for a bowl of white rice during the meal and were told that they were told out of it for the day. We understood when they ran out of other dishes, but in this kind of restaurant, how do you run out of white rice? It was also not particularly late in the evening and felt like poor planning.
While the nigiri we got and wagyu was reliably good, the other dishes were very disappointing after our past times here at the Test Kitchen. Not sure if I would return after this experience with the price point and quality of the food.

From M Test Kitchen to M Izakaya! Some of our old favorites with a bunch of new dishes. Great time, 2-3 dishes across the 1-3 course menu per person, basically 1 dish per course per person. I would say less needed from the 3rd course menu (I.e., Duck, A5 dishes). Meal takes a while but yoga time well spent! Enjoy it.

First time at M Test Kitchen and I was thoroughly impressed! The ambiance was inviting, the menu offered a great variety, and the third course stood out as my favorite. The sake selection was a pleasant surprise too.

Had their Valentine’s Day vegan tasting menu and it was banger after banger. The flavors and seasoning was perfectly on point. The green curry noodle dish was the best thing I’ve ever eaten. I sure hope they add this to their regular menu. If I had to have one critique it was that dessert was a bit simple though it too was tasty. I will certainly be coming back to try their regular menu.

A delightfully unique and delicious culinary experience accompanied with excellent service, all in a modern atmosphere.
Enter into a small foyer and immediately enter the restaurant.
We sampled several of the small plates with only rave reviews of them all. Wagu, scallops, chops, tater tots (cast aside all preconceived notion and definitely give these a try) were favorites at our table.
There are menus posted her in Google. Nice wine selections by glass and bottle and a full bar, artfully arranged abd lighted. While not inexpensive, a visit here will this spot will please and delight.
And that includes the desserts!
Fenton parking nearby, see Google Maps. Ask for a table away from the door.
