ONE
Goal.
OUR Mission

Our one goal at Shijiri Sushi Bar is to provide food that we would confidently serve to our children—food that's not only safe and wholesome, but also crafted with the utmost care and highest quality ingredients. We believe every dish should be a testament to our dedication, reflecting the same love and attention we give our family.
Every Detail Matters. Even the tiniest things.
We directly import all our bowls, trays, and spoons from Japan to ensure the highest quality. This practice also helps us honor and preserve Japanese culture in every aspect of your dining experience.

Our Philosophy
Defined by No Definition
At Shijiri Sushi Bar, we believe your experience is your own. We won't tell you how to feel or react because that's not our place. Our commitment is simple: we create the perfect environment and provide the best food we can make. That way, you're free to discover exactly what to feel.
Chef John
Ratana - Head Chef
With over 30 years of experience, our kitchen is led by the exceptionally talented Chef John Ratana, a true master of Japanese cuisine. Before joining us, Chef John refined his skills at numerous esteemed establishments, amassing a diverse culinary background. His journey to becoming a sushi master began with rigorous training in Japan, where he immersed himself in the traditions and intricate techniques of authentic Japanese cooking.
Three Steps Ahead.


Tip-less.
We are a no-tipping establishment at Shijiri Sushi Bar, making us one of the very few in the Cary and Morrisville area to operate this way. We firmly believe in fairly compensating our staff, so tipping should always be completely optional and never feel pressured. To reinforce this commitment, please note that we do not accept credit card tips at all. To learn more, visit Store Polices.
Quality.
At Shijiri Sushi Bar, you can be reassured that our fish is incredibly fresh because we don't use ready-to-serve sashimi. Instead, we meticulously break down the whole fish ourselves, ensuring the highest quality and freshest possible cuts for your meal.
Care.
Our staff at Shijiri Sushi Bar is truly like family. We work together seamlessly, not just to get through the day, but to create a warm and welcoming atmosphere where you feel right at home. We believe that genuine care for our guests is just as important as the food we serve.
