Sushi O | Bistro & Sushi Bar

I’ve always passed by Sushi O on Glenwood Ave and finally decided to try it out with a friend for dinner. This was my first time dining there. We chose to sit outside to enjoy the weather, and while the wait time was reasonable, we ran into an issue right away—there were a lot of cockroaches around the first outdoor table, which made us uncomfortable. We asked to move to another table, and the staff accommodated us. We started with the fried calamari—it was just okay, nothing special. Our server was friendly and helpful throughout the meal. We ordered Coke, but it tasted flat, almost like it had no flavor. We also got soup, which turned out to be way too spicy for our taste, so we asked to swap our soups for something else. We ordered sushi as our main course. Again, it was just fine—nothing bad, but not memorable either. The atmosphere outside was nice overall, especially if you want to relax with a drink and enjoy the street view, but the presence of bugs really took away from the experience. One other downside is the parking—it’s very limited and hard to find a spot nearby. In summary, Sushi O has a nice vibe and decent service, but the food and cleanliness (especially outdoors) need improvement. I might come back for drinks, but probably not for a full meal.

The restaurant is very nice and clean, the workers are also kind, polite, and outstanding! The food is very good and the sashimi is fresh. I would like to go this place to eat again.

Honestly, this was a great experience! My friends and I decided together since it’s been a while and chose this place! SO GLAD WE DID! Parking- there is a parking deck in the back and you don’t have to pay if you are dining here. Just let the host know your parking spot number. Love that. Food- TOO GOOD. So we got the Chicken Pad Thai, steak and shrimp hibachi, the sesame chicken, and hot and sour soup! Sushi- Spiderman Roll, Surf and Turf, Flamingo, spider roll (I think) and the Crunchy King Everything was really good but my favorite was the Spider-Man roll! This was some of the best pad Thai I have had and it’s not spicy at all but still full of flavor. The hibachi gave everything that it needed and the steak was tender. You honestly can’t go wrong with sesame chicken! Crispy and juicy! Now that hot and sour soup! 8/10 very good and the flavor was deep! Oh the chicken and shrimp fried rice - 10/10 for me!!! Service- the lady that served us was very sweet and attentive. The restaurant gives a great ambiance and we all enjoyed our time there! Would definitely come back!!! Check them out and #tellemGabbbsentya!

I had a great time dining in at Sushi O. We ordered a few rolls (Deep Ocean Roll, Nomnom Roll and Ahi Poke Roll). All of it tasted fresh and the cocktails were fantastic. The atmosphere was amazing and the staff were overall excellent and attentive. Definitely recommend!

Sushi O is a great little sushi restaurant on Glenwood Ave in Raleigh downtown. The atmosphere is cozy and intimate, and the service is friendly and attentive. We ordered the veg sushi which was fresh and delicious. The drinks were decent too. We also got the drunken noodles and just a heads up that their lunch and dinner prices are different for the same dishes. The prices are reasonable for the portion sizes. I would definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a great sushi experience. It can get crowded on weekends, they have a nice outdoor space as well, but they don't take reservations.
