Very high ratings for communication, customer service, and quality.
From the second you enter the restaurant you feel as though you are halfway around the world. You get lost in the food/decor. Every dish served was visually appealing, fresh, and tasty. This is a once in a lifetime experience and would recommend it. It is more of an experience than anything else.
Be prepared for a long wait to get a reservation and for smaller portions than most are accustomed to. The price is also high, but it’s not a place you will eat at often and the experience is worth it.

Hard to give this anything other than 5 stars, intimate setting, chef is this older japanese gentleman and server is his wife. Waitlist is months long and the price is not cheap.
Best thing to do is let go and allow the chef take you on an adventure. From his handmade plates and silverware, to the garnishes from his home garden, and presentation of the food. Food itself was enjoyable but the combined experience heightened the sensation. Lucky to have this in NC, much less our small town of Durham.

Had a fantastic birthday dinner here with my wife. I felt like I was back in Tokyo. Food and sake were top notch and service was perfect. I even received a gift bottle when I left. I wish I would say I will be back but it is hard to get a seat there. Highly recommend.

A very special, authentic but modern Japanese Tea Ceremony experience. The tea ceremony is inside a home that has been converted into a tea house. There are three parts: you’ll be introduced to the tea room and learn how to enter, how to sit and how to drink the tea. Next a light lunch is served (the food was incredible) – I believe there were 3 or 4 courses of small plates. Then you’ll move back to the tea room where a tea ceremony is performed with two different types of matcha. The entire experience was unexpectedly beautiful. You’ll have opportunities to ask questions and talk, but come to appreciate the silence of the ceremony as well. A wonderful break from the noise of everyday city life.

Fantastic service in a small, cozy setting. Food is stellar, if a bit expensive. The 2 hour long experience is one I will remember. Reservations are required, and you might have to wait months, but I’d say it was worth it. From the pottery, to the ambiance, and food – a unique experience.

It was an awesome experience eating at yamazushi. The decor, the atmosphere is very calming and soothing. All the sashimi is really good and melts in your mouth, but tempura could have been better considering the price point.

Our experience was beautiful and artfully guided. Chef Yamazushi’s eight course menu was skillfully designed, beautifully prepared and delicious. *Also as a bonus, the assorted pottery made by chef was a treat. Yamazushi lives up to its reputation as the most authentic Japanese cuisine in the Triangle.

Just wonderful. I’ve been to several kaiseki restaurants in NYC and Tokyo and this one compares favorably. The wagashi was maybe the best I’ve tasted. Go for the sake pairing, it’s worth it. Service is impeccable. Wonderful NC treasure.

Creative plating on creative plates! Hadn’t seen anything like this before and certainly nothing in the area. It’s remarkable what such a small staff can create! It’s not for everyone, but it is excellent.
