The Triangle's first true omakase counter, M Sushi on Holland Street sets a course of nigiri that rotates with season and sourcing. Michael Lee's sushi programme imports directly from domestic sustainable fisheries and builds rice with a precision that signals genuine training. For a city of Durham's size, having a world-class omakase counter available is the strongest single evidence that the Bull City food scene has matured past regional curiosity into genuine national relevance.
Featured by TableJourney as a signature dish of Durham. See the Durham signature dishes guide for the canonical version.
