Really cute casual spot with an interesting combination. Love the menu offerings. Our server was super nice. The food was pretty good. The only thing not to our liking were the milkshakes. The cookies and cream tasted like cream and when we ordered the chocolate shake it also tasted like cream- no chocolate. The birthday cake was also super delicious. We'll definitely return 🙌🏻

I was very excited for my first time at Cowfish, since sushi and burgers are two of my favorite foods. Given the hype around the place, I went there with the expectation of a great burger and great sushi. I’d say that’s mostly what I got.
The Bison Burger was delicious, albeit very messy. The Spicy Tuna Roll was good, but nothing special. My partner and I were both surprised that our appetizer and drinks were definitely the highlight of the meal!
While we enjoyed our dinner at Cowfish, I wish I had tempered my expectations a bit. It was very expensive for what we got, but mostly good. I’d also recommend putting your name in online before leaving the house, as the off-waitlist wait was about 1 hour and 45 minutes.
Overall a good experience, but I can’t say the food merits the price or the long wait times. Still worth a try and I will likely be back!

The restaurant was very crowded and extremely noisy. There was music banging in the background which made conversation almost impossible to hear. The decorations were fun and colorful. We were able to park at a nearby parking deck for free. The food quality was 4/5. We did not like the salad or blue cheese dressing. The truffle fries were overrated. The burgers are delicious. Excellent service. Cost $84/2. It’s a very trendy spot.

Pleasantly surprised by how great my experience was! The food is delicious, the burger was flavorful and juicy, and the sushi was fresh and flavorful!
I love the atmosphere too! It's a fun, unique blend of westerns and eastern, with a giant aquarium in the middle and a comical movie motif. So quirky and well done!
The Bento Box seems to be the best deal because you can sample a bit of everything!
Very clean! Handicap accessible. Parking is difficult, but free.

Nice lunch, with good atmosphere. Service was terrific, food was very good and seating comfortable.We sat in the enclosed patio in the corner on a nice Saturday afternoon. After a 5 minute wait for an outdoor table,we had the menu explained to us. The menu, can be a little confusing, because (I think) they want to give you many options. Which is good, but can make things confusing. In my experience, there are few places that offer, red meat with a fish choice. The side offering are generous potions. A great combo if you want some red meat, but also a filling healthy meal. I had to ask for more ginger, no biggy. The place was a little noisy, but worth the price.
Beware, the entrance is the revolving door on the left.

A very interesting concept, but they do it surprisingly well! I’m a big sushi fan but my husband is not, so this is a perfect spot for a date night when we’re craving different cuisines! They do get very busy, but service was still prompt considering the Saturday evening crowd. If you’re indecisive like me, they allow you to order half rolls (with the exception of the soft shell crab). Definitely recommend!

Cheeseburger and Sushi. Who knew? Sounds weird to me too but all of it worked and every bite was good. Both my companion and I had the bento box to try the burger and sushi. Both the Sushi and the Burger were great! The shrimp app was probably the best part of the meal and was huge. Honestly too big to split between two people who intend on each eating a bento box. Finally the cocktails have imagination and are delicious.

the food took forever to come out for me and my friend but once it was on the table it was really good! the bento box was fun and gave you a taste of sushi but also the mini slider of the week. i wish the slider was a little bigger, as the box only came with one and was 2 bites but it was delicious.

I’ve been to Cowfish before, but this latest experience prompted this review. Unfortunately, I do not have any pictures of my recent visit, but I assure you it was as entertaining and grand as it has always been (and as other pictures depict).
I recently developed a soy allergy (and I mourn daily), and as we ordered, the waitstaff asked if my party had any allergies, and I let them know I had a soy allergy. I ordered the bison burger, and was informed by the manager that they could to substitute the bun as it had soy (and I eagerly accepted a lettuce wrap), and they could omit the aioli sauce as it contained soy. I took their gracious offers and was delivered my burger shortly after the rest of my party received their sushi platters.
Though my dish technically lacked a sauce (and bread!) it was DELICIOUS. Seasoned well and paired beautifully with its components, I ate the whole lot. The fries were also so amazing!
My family declares that the sushi was delicious, as was the tempura shrimp appetizer they got. I could have been envious I could not eat the items, but everything was so good that the only thing which brewed within me was delight.
Though I was unable to eat the lemon raspberry dessert (which is the STAPLE of my pre-soy allergy memories there, please get it if you can), the waitress told me that there were soy-free desserts, and I indulged in the vanilla shake. Also amazing.
Cowfish, never stop being absolutely AWESOME!

I ordered the sushi burger bento for lunch.
The sushi was okay and so was the edamame.
The burger somehow managed to be soggy and dry? (refer to picture and you will understand)
The sweet potato fries were just a no. Just soggy and not good fries.
Cucumber salad was good, acidic, but good.

I was a little hesitant to make such a large order for delivery (12 people) especially for mostly sushi. A lot of times with large individual orders from other places there will be stuff missing or things werent timed well so they just arent good by the time you get them but the manager was great, he called to confirm everything, and update us on timing, everything was boxed very well and wasn't falling apart, fries were still crispy and the Mousee on the loose was extra delicious as always! I have eaten there on site many times, but def will not hesitate to order for pick up or delivery going forward! 10/10 would recommend!

The menu is all encompassing with both seafood and red meat dishes. We ordered sushi, a goat cheese salad with salmon and one item off the kids menu. While everyone enjoyed the sushi, I found my grilled salmon a little overcooked. The salmon wasn’t heavily seasoned. Also I found a small piece of cheese buried in my salad. The pecans were overly laid throughout the salad, however. Our server was excellent. He checked on our meal and kept our table free of empty plates. Food delivery came in three waves and our group waited several minutes before everyone was served. I couldn’t give 5 stars owing to the wait for a table when we arrived and the cleanliness of the restaurant. We had called ahead and told we didn’t need a reservation. However, on arrival there were three large groups ahead of us. Our wait was approximately 20 minutes. The waitstaff hostess was pleasant. As to general appearance I found our table and bar area to not be well cleaned. I had only gone to the bar area to purchase a gift certificate for my granddaughter. The bar counter was unclean and sticky. One other unclean area was the men’s bathroom. It reaked of urine and the room was not clean or well attended to for the amount of diners. The overall experience was fair. I am sorry I didn’t bring these discrepancies directly to the manager before leaving the restaurant. I’m willing to give this restaurant another try in the future. Thank you.

We went to celebrate a birthday. Our server was friendly and helpful. We were seated in the covered patio section which was quite dim and a bit loud. The food was decent. I just found the menu to be a bit redundant with avocado in most of the sushi rolls, burgers and other offerings. I have a severe allergy so it took quite a while to find something safe to eat. The salmon was the best thing we tried. It was cooked very well and was fresh. The dessert was ok too.
Overall we had a pleasant time and appreciated the service.

Famished after a lovely afternoon viewing homes on the last day of the Parade Of Homes 2024. Cow Fish Sushi Burger Bar hit the spot. The ambiance was pretty basic. I enjoyed the fish tank in the middle of the restaurant.
This was my first time here and I’ll be back. I ordered the shrimp tempura roll and a peanut butter & chocolate milkshake. I have to admit it does look like an after meal deluxe….. but boy was that thang DELICIOUS 🤤.
They have spiked milkshakes as well. I hungry writing this review, I can’t wait to order something different next time.

Very smart young lady with an amazing smile!
The food was crazy good! Haven’t had such a good juicy burger in a long time. I was at the yard house 5 days back. Left feeling ill after that burger.
Thank you Cowfish for understanding what true hospitality is. From the front desk to me leaving the place. 5 stars well earned.

We have been waiting to try Cowfish, every time we drive by it smells amazing. Service was great, place nice, but in the end we want good food and 2 of our 3 items just did not hit the mark we expected. Hence the 2 stars.
First impressions amazing place great, the location, and restaurant really beautiful especially the outside area - but the bar as well- amazing.
Our appetizer- we did the crab Rangoon dip at the recommendation of our server. Thought very rich - amazing as well.
However, the burger, which was what we were so excited for left something to be desired . It looked beautiful but the bbq pork on it was so dry and chewy it just killed the burger. Likewise the bento box sushi was the most popular roll but was dry and hard to eat.
Now this might have been an off night and Did we complain- no, as to us when you come to a place like this, really, it should be great every time. We left disappointed- not sure if we will go back.
Final thoughts I would go back for drinks and appetizers, and to enjoy the outdoor seating- but if I want an amazing cheeseburger I am probably going to chose another place.

My wife and I had a wonderful experience here and our server Hannah had exemplary service and a bubbly personality despite it being the end of a long day of work. The food was great and the atmosphere is very unique and enjoyable. A few quibbles that do not constitute complaints: my wife did observe that the bread on her veggie burger was slightly dry and the patty was somewhat bland but she still enjoyed it. While I am a meat eater, it would be nice to see one or two more vegetarian options so I can convince her to come here more often. The menu is large so maybe there are but I missed them. Thanks folks!

Nice place with an interesting concept, that works! The food was great, didn't know what too choose. However, IF I ever go back, I think I'll have to find out if Ryan is on as the manager and if Hannah's area is available. Otherwise, I don't believe I'd get good service (bare minimum) or service at all because I definitely can't and have no desire to change my skin tone to receive service from any one else. Okay, I came back! The service Amazing 👏. Thanks Kassey and her manager!

Love this place! Too many good menu items and always enough to share. If you imbibe, try the Skinny Gonzalez. It's so refreshing, but it has some kick! The spicy togarashi shrimp (don't miss the veggies on the bottom!) and the tuna and avacado tini apps are favorites. I would have given the food 4½ because the truffle fries were just so-so, but everything else was on point. Go with more than a party of two and share because everything is so good!

Loved the atmosphere, and the selection of sushi was on par with most sushi restaurants I’ve visited, but they also serve Burgers which makes this a new kind of “surf and turf”! If you’re looking for a little of both, the Bento box will get you a sampling of it all! Definitely a great date spot, you will spend some $$ for drinks and food, but for the atmosphere and food selection you’re getting what you pay for!

Food was great, service was not. We went Tuesday around 3pm. John was our server. The food took kinda long, about 40min. We never saw John during that time for drink refills or general checking in. He finally came by with our food, said a side would be out shortly, and left. I started looking for him about 15 min later for some boxes and our check. This experience had taken longer than I thought and we had an appointment to get to, so I was getting frustrated that he was no where to be found. I got up to try and wave for his attention but he wasn't around. There was a group of employees hanging out by the patio entrance, so I approached them to ask if they've seen John. One of the girls told me he left but that she could help. So I asked for boxes and check, and Jordan helped with that. At that point I was annoyed because no one came by to say they were taking over for John, and I spent time looking for someone to help me who wasn't even there.
This first time experience was not great, and although the food was good, I do not plan to come back.

4.5 would be my score. The Bento box was really good. The only issue I had was the mini burger, I actually had chicken. It was only half of a tender. It could have at least been a whole tender, for goodness sake. My daughter in law had one of the burgers and said it was delicious. It would be great if they had some table games for the smaller kids. Things like mini checkers, mini basketball, the wooden peg game, etc. But I guess that could get expensive if they are constantly lost or broken. My grandson and I loved the "fish bowl" in the restaurant. It gave him something to do while waiting for the food. There were quite a few families with smaller kids (got there at 3pm). It seems like a place where kids are actually welcome. Though I can see later in the day it being more an adult place.
We will definitely return.

The lobster and crab spring rolls were not good. For $20, there was barely any meat. It was cabbage wrapped in rice paper topped with sriracha. That’s all you taste. Very disappointing. We obviously did not enjoy it and our server, Dillion, took notice. The manager came to the table and we explained that the egg rolls weren’t good. He seemed understanding. Now, we weren’t asking for it to be comp off the bill, but a discount would’ve have been appropriate for the situation. What was the point of having a manager come to the table and talk to us, if nothing was going to be done to remedy the situation? We ended up paying the full $20 despite barely eating it.
I can’t speak on the sushi since I didn’t try it, but the burgers and fries were good. I did enjoy the truffle bacon fries.
I will say, Dillon is a fantastic server. He was very attentive and does his job well. Very nice person.
Not sure if I’ll be back though. The whole interaction left a sour taste.

Follow up after 2 years and the sushi is still good. My daughter got the turkey burger, and it wasn't good, so maybe avoid it.

Probably weird because it's not what they are known for, but, best cheesy fries of my life (bacon was on the side for my partner)!! I got the only veggie roll on the menu and customized another, both were spectacular. My partner got the burgushi and he hasn't stopped talking about it since! Our waitress was awesome and they sat us right by the fish tank after only about a 20 minute wait, not bad for 6pm. We were in Raleigh for an event but we are going back just for Cowfish :p

Great menu and service. It was slammed but food was out pretty quick and the server was great. The decor is cool but nothing special. Be prepared to wait if you go on weekend at dinner.

I love the massive fish tank in the middle of the restaurant. I have eaten here many years ago and finally came back recently. I got the chicken sandwich with fries & calamari for an appetizer which was so good. There is plenty of parking in the parking deck but you have to walk a little. It’s not far of a walk but you also have to take an elevator so remember where you park if you do. Not much parking on the street in N hills.

I will not be back. Ordered takeout food because I am visiting family with my newborn. Family friend recommended cowfish. We arrived and were directed to the back corner of the restaurant for pick up. Stood there for 15 minutes and not a soul approached to help. Multiple employees looked at me and just walked on back without a word.
An older gentleman walked up and the second he did he was waited on. They didn’t pay any mind to me even though I had been standing there longer.
My food had been right at the pick up counter as well and was cold. I get that restaurants get busy but blatantly ignoring me when I was clearly there first (we had formed a line) is just rude. You expect more for the price of the food.
I would recommend any of the other restaurants in the area. We tried yard house and food and service were both amazing.

We went to Cowfish for dinner and it was a great, unique experience! The service was friendly and helped answer any questions we had. From our time at Cowfish, it seems that the wait staff, host staff, food runners, and management all work together in communicated teamwork.
We ordered the bacon parmesan truffle fries as an appetizer, but I forgot to take a picture (sorry). Yes, they were that good haha. For our main course, my wife and I split two pieces of eel (unagi) nigiri, a Cowfish bento box, a bagel roll, and a Stout Burger with fried pickles. The sushi was fresh and well made. The burger was cooked to order and also very delicious. We especially enjoyed the sweet potato fries that came with the Cowfish bento box.
I highly recommend Cowfish for burger lovers and sushi lovers alike!

Great food and a great variety. We went at an off time for a late lunch and there was no wait. Our server Brandon was amazing. Super attentive, and helpful. It was my son's birthday and I was a bit worried my parents ( who are super fussy about food ) would not like anything. The menu had something to accommodate everyone. From the most adventurous to the safe and predictable - plain burger. We will be back !

My husband and I went to the Cowfish earlier this week to celebrate our 1 year anniversary and we had a great experience! A blonde waitress and trainee served us and gave amazing service. They always made sure our drinks were full and answered any questions we had, including being extremely patient with me taking forever to figure out what I wanted. We will definitely be back!!

Rakayla was our server and she was amazing. We had a party of 8 for my daughters birthday. Rakayla was so attentive....there was never an empty drink and she was just overall pleasant. On top of the top notch service the food was delicious. I have been here before and the food is very consistent. Great job!! Made my daughters birthday!!

They were EXCELLENT in paying attention to my nut allergy. They took notes on what to avoid and informed the chef. If you have an allergy, this place WILL take care of you!

I love the food here but unfortunately the last two times I have come here I have gotten a server named Abbie, she takes a really long time for everything but last time it was too much. It took her 10 minutes to get us a glass of water and 40 minutes for her just to take our food order, she will leave the table and not come back to check up on you or bring the bill (I had to get up and ask another server for the bill and she was very sweet and helped us out), it was my birthday and I was extremely disappointed.

We liked the food and the service but it doesn't seem at all like an authentic sushi place. It's a bit gimmicky but that's OK. My fiery dragon roll was very good and my wife really enjoyed her bento box which had a slider in it as well. I tasted it and liked it enough that I'd go back for a burger. Great flavor.
I benefited from the Tini Tuesday half priced specialty martinis and my Big O's Last Laugh was awesome.
The menu is extensive so there are a lot of options and I'd love to try one of their spiked shakes someday.
Two big disappointments though: 1) Chairs sucked. No lumbar support. Whose idea was that? 2) They failed the bathroom test. Whenever I see a dirty bathroom in a restaurant I wonder what the kitchen looks like - not that that they serve the same purpose but it's a culture thing.

Went to this restaurant for a birthday dinner. Food is excellent with a variety to choose from on the menu. Flavors are on point. Mix of burgers (cow) and sushi (fish). My daughters loved the shakes for dessert. Service was great. A restaurant like this really needs to utilize reservations and not just a call ahead waitlist. We added ourselves to the waitlist within 5 mins of its creation and were number 27 on the list. It's a little out of control. The restaurant also has a leakage issue from multiple air vents in the ceiling which led to water being dripped on multiple customers at several different tables. Hopefully that will be addressed soon. Fun games outside for kids to help pass the time when you are waiting for a table, and a huge aquarium inside as well for the more intellectual types.

My sister and dined here for the first time and loved it. Our server was Kayce! Kayce was AWESOME! She is the definition of customer service. She had an infectious personality, very welcoming and hospitable. I really truly enjoyed my time here and Kayce was a huge part of that. The food was delicious. Kayce made sure that we understood what we were ordering by taking the time out and explaining everything. She was very patient and helpful. This was one of the best experiences I have had in a long time when it comes to eating out. Thank you Kayce Great energy matches great energy 🥰

We recently had a group work dinner here with about 15 people. The service was amazing. Our server kept up with the demands that come from a big table full of drinks and appetizers.
I have been to Cowfish a number of times and the food has always been good. If you want a good burger, sushi and some cocktails, then Cowfish is the place to go.

The bison burger was probably the worst thing I've put in my mouth in a long time. I ate two bites and couldn't stomach another. The waitress didn't seem to notice or care that she took away a plate with as much food as she brought to the table. Appetizers were equally bad. The best thing about the restaurant was the exit sign.

Food is delicious and something for everyone..servers are very patient, engaging, and kind here. Always come here for birthdays and they are wonderful to accommodate large groups! Had a Hispanic male server on 7/2/24 and he was so attentive!! I believe his name started with an E!

First visit. Can’t wait to go back!! The location is great. Parking garage under the building made it easy with heavy rains. The staff were awesome and very attentive. The menu is extensive, with absolutely amazing options. I wanted to order so many things!! 3 of us had the sake sampler, which was really great. Then we ordered a bottle of our favorite. All of the food was delicious. My favorite items were the All American Double Cheeseburgushi and the edamame was so good.
Can’t wait for visit 2!!
