Ok, Waraji is def my favorite spot when in Raleigh.
Must have been here about 40+ times. With friends, collegues, alone.
Tried many other places in Raleigh but this one steals my heart.
Interior is ok, modern but zen.
Service is good (but hey, they know me by now)
You can take friends here who don't like Sushi, as they have many wonderful cooked dishes on the menu as well.
My standard menu:
Gyoza
Torro & Salmon Sashimi
Salmon skin roll
Volunteer roll (remember this one!!)
Some green tea & hot Sake afterward.
All this for about 25 USD per person

Other places I went to in raleigh:
- Sushi Tsune: opposite the 'famous' Snoopy Hot Dog is not too bad. Good food, very nice staff, no frills place.
- Sushi Thai: Very average.
- Sushi Blues: Not impressed and not very japanese, didnt see or hear any Blues either.
- Mura at Northhills: They do some sushi but this is more a trendy beautiful place where the food is really really crap.
- Tokyo House at Six Forks: Not too bad, will do the fix if needed
- Kanki: Sad sad sad, avoid
