Interior at Cowfish Sushi Burger Bar, Raleigh- NC Triangle Diningīefore the entrees come out we get a surprise from the manager who brings over several complimentary sushi plates for the table.

The crowd here at Cowfish was mostly young professionals, no surprise for this neighborhood and I’d have to guess that earlier in the evening it’s more of a mix of families. I go with the Brento box which is a mini-burger, four pieces of a specialty roll along with some sides. Unfortunately we don’t do apps given some earlier snacks at Sparians but just be warned that the Cowfish menu is very long and deep with tons of options for starters. We had one young server covering our table of ten and she seemed very well-trained, they must do a serious volume business here. Definitely a place where your kids will be kept entertained and amused at the dinner table. Sharp and striking, the centerpiece fish tank is really impressive along with all the faux Japanese prints and decor poking fun at the cows and Japanese pop culture. First thing you’ll notice about the Cowfish interior is the modern black and crimson red decor. Long set-up here, but I finally made it into Cowfish on a Sunday evening at 8:30pm and here’s how it all went down! Cool fishtank at Cowfish Sushi Burger Bar, Raleigh- NC Triangle DiningĪ group of 10 of us strolled in a bit after 8pm on a Sunday evening and it was pretty empty, a shocker to me! We got seated quickly in their covered patio area which was fine on a temperate evening. I only had to wait 40 minutes for Cochon in New Orleans which is a nationally renown restaurant so yeah, I was scratching my head.

Add in that my first attempt to eat at Cowfish Sushi resulted in a 90 minute wait on a Saturday at 5:10 pm and it meant they had an uphill climb. There’s a saying that when you try to please everybody, you please nobody which was in the back of my head. And with Cowfish Sushi trying to fuse the all-American burger with Japanese sushi? I’ll have to say I was far from convinced. Japanese-Korean, Thai-Japanese, whatever, I sorta scrunch up my nose at that concept. I’m not a fan of mixed ethnic eateries because I think they cater to the lowest common denominator, choosing a broad menu over a great meal and experience. Now I like to think that I’m pretty picky about where I eat and when I heard that the uber-popular Cowfish Sushi was coming to Raleigh, I wasn’t sure what to really think.
