Reviews:"Voted ´The Best in the Triangle´ for 10 years running. Excellent sushi, great atmosphere!!"
- Tommy Zwirblia (zwirblia@worldnet.att.net)
"The sushi is very good, especially the tuna and salmon roe. The atmosphere is nice, but sadly, they allow smoking at the sushi bar, which keeps us away."
- Ben and Brenda Rose (bennbrenda@coastalnet.com) [June 26th 1998]
"Give me a break! The "best" sushi in the triangle must be voted by people who barely know what sushi is! Kanki doesn't even serve Japanese food other than sushi. The sushi tastes nasty too. "

Reviews:"Voted ´Best in the Triangle´ for sushi for 11 consecutive years. 1998 winner in Spectator Magazine again !! Masa and Kazi from Waranji might want to get into some other business besides sushi because Kanki is ultimately proven to be the ´Best in the Triangle´. (Reuben R. Rodillas - General Manager)"
- Reuben R. Rodillas (rrodillas@aol.com) [May 25th 1998]
"By far the best sushi in the Triangle. Smoking is not allowed in the sushi bar. It's the freshest tasting sushi in town and the portions are just right. They have new rolls everytime I come in. The service is excellent too. I've had very rude servers at Waraji before. "
- Susie Miller [August 4th 2002]
"Susie, you are right about the Crabtree Valley Sushi bar being smoke free, which is the one we go to now. The last time I was at the Wake Forest Rd one though, which was the one I was referring to, they did allow smoking in the sushi area. In fact, at that time, someone was smoking at the actual sushi bar. That may have changed though since it has been a while. Kanki in Crabtree is very very nice, and the sushi has always been above average. Keep up the good work. "

Phone:(919) 676-9881
Opened:Daily: 11am - 2pm, 5pm - 10pm
Review:" The Kuki is one of the poorest sushi experiences we have ever had. The service is horribly slow. It can take an hour to get your order. The sushi is also sub-par. Portions are very small, as well as the pieces. The environment is also crowded and noisy. Not the place to go for a pleasent dining experience."

One of the owners, Tony, prepares sushi along side of his other chefs and holds all of them to the highest standard. Excellent prices as well. You won't go wrong here. Guaranteed to become a regular hotspot. "

- Lori (hawkins1@us.ibm.com) [August 24th 1997]
" We had the privilege of dining at Waraji not long ago, and we agree with Lori, it is some of the best sushi in NC. Without a doubt, the biggest portions of tuna we have ever had. The atmosphere is pleasent and the sushi is wonderful. A must try for sushi lovers."
- Ben and Brenda Rose (bennbrenda@costalnet.com) [August 22nd 1998]
"Great Restaurant! I cannot be sure whether it is the best in Raleigh for the moment(I am still exploring), but it is very good for sure. "
- Laura (sllam@hotmail.com) [June 21st 2000]
"Wasn't the owner/sushi chef once employed at Kanki ?"
- Freddie Funf (freddiefunf@hotmail.com) [October 25th 2000]
"Waraji continues to be our favorite sushi in Raleigh! Yes, I do believe the owners were employees of Kanki, but they have shown the Kanki how to do sushi right! The most creative rolls in the world, including some really new and innovative ones, like the Shamoo Roll (about every type of fish rolled up on one). Without a doubt, the best sushi i have ever had "
