    Had a wonderful time. The staff made sure that we were well taken care of, but left to our own company at the same time.

    When attempting to call... wait til about 5.30 or 6 pm or it will just ring and ring.

    very comfortable atmosphere, the food is always plentiful and delicious.

    I enjoyed my dinner at Yamazushi. The food was done well. I did not try any sushi on this trip but will on my next. The tea was hot and that is a sticking point for me in a good Japanese restaurant.

    Not totally authentic but who would really expect that in this area. If you want decent japanese food from a restaurant actually run by Japanese then give them a try.

    On a side note. I noticed something about that last reviewer's bad review. That person is either biased toward another local restaurant or has connections with it because they made a totally positive review for them on the same day. Just an odd coincidence.

    Good, better than Akai Hana: It's not the best sushi or Japanese food in the world, but it's good. I think better than Akai Hana and Sushi Tsune, but on the same footing as that conveyor belt place in Chapel Hill (kurama?). The sushi is solid. It's better than most places in its price range in the Triangle. The owner is Japanese as are the sushi chefs, and it is mostly more authentic than not, though some of the meals we have had there have not been that great. Pass on the udon (I think the nabe yaki udon), which was sweet and horrible. The tenpura has been hit or miss. I know all Americans think tenpura is just battered food, but it's not. It shouldn't be overly greasy and the tentsuyu should not be too sweet. Here the tenpura can be mediocre. Their appetizers are generally good, but sometimes too sweet. this is pretty standard for Japanese restaurants here and they don't go too far like other places. It's pretty good. Menu diversity puts it a cut above Akai Hana.
