What People Are Saying About Sushi Tsune
The Editor
Contributor
Contributor
In Short – Simple on the outside, the inside gives the impression of a Japanese paper house. Low ceilings, bamboo shades, minimal decoration--yet nothing looks bare. Tsune Oka, a Toyko native who has been slicing sushi for more than 17 years, serves American favorites like California rolls, yellowtail and tuna nigiri as well as ones that aren't as familiar to Westerners, like conch and sea urchin.

Truly Authentic Japanese Food
by CSMobileUser at Citysearch
If you want to experience authentic Japanese food, this is the place to go. If you are looking for fusion or wannabe Japanese food then you need to go somewhere else.
Service can definitely improve however the owner's hospitality and the delicious food make up for it.
I've been to Japan a number of times and Sushi Tsune is as close as I'll ever get to eating in Nagoya or Tokyo while living in Raleigh.

Good sushi, reasonable prices, doesn't try to be "cool"
by orulz at Citysearch
I went there with my wife. The place lacks the "hip" atmosphere you find at many sushi places. We found the food to be excellent and Tsune-san is always friendly. Contrary to other reports on here the wait staff was on the ball. She was friendly and our glasses were never empty.
We did have to wait for what seemed like an unusually long time for our food (>45min) for reasons not entirely clear to me - the place was fairly busy but definitely not packed. Wonder if they will let me call in my order before I get there next time?
This place is easy to miss between the giant Arby's sign and the BP, but in my opinion it's some of the best sushi in town.
- Pros: Good sushi, authentic atmosphere, tsune-san
- Cons: Long wait

Great sushi, conveniently located on Hillsborough Street
by mkathrynp at Citysearch
Sushi Tsune serves up great sushi--no frills. My boyfriend and I ended up spending a lot here--mainly because we were drinking beer and sake, but overall it's pretty moderately/fairly priced. Don't be discouraged by the outside of the building--the inside of the restaurant is clean and intimate. Our waitress was a bit standoffish at first, but she soon warmed up to us and had some great recommendations for "real" sushi that I had never tried. Definitely recommend eating here--support Hillsborough Street!!
- Pros: Yummy sushi
- Cons: Outside of building appears dumpy
