I'll start by saying I dined at the Sushi Thai of f Lake Boone several times over my time as a student at NCSU. Always ate sushi, always great sushi. As a young professional I live closer to Cary, and was excited when I read the reviews for this location. I took my girlfriend there for her birthday last night. As usual I ordered a "boat for two," containing a large quantity of assorted sushi and sashimi. I was impressed with the fried sushi rolls, but the philly roll was overwhelmed by cream cheese.and some of the sashimi tasted fishy. Sushi grade fish does not ordinarily smell or taste fishy. Some of the sashimi was frozen in the middle (or at least hard and ice cold) and the ginger was not shaved nearly thin enough. I still gorged myself and had a good time, but quality sushi is an emphasis for me when I dine at a sushi restaraunt. My advice is to avoid their sashimi and order some of the more intricate specialty rolls. This rules out the "boats" which are my favorite menu items. As far as Im concerned, if I am ordering individual rolls then I might as well go to sushi blues or kanki.
Pros: boats of sushi, personable hostess, no wait
Cons: not best sushi, wait staff, cold dining area
