Additional Information
I sampled some of the small plates and appetizers. The katsudon and fried vegetable balls were very good. Miso skewers were... kinda mid. Overall I enjoyed it and the ambiance was nice. Prices are good as well. It has the feel of a nice restaurant butentrees are only $15-20. Read more
I’ve eaten ramen from Japan and all over the world. The noodles were good but not enough broth. They sell extra broth for... $4…absolutely unheard of!! Negimaki and flounder was good appetizer to share. Read more
We visited Dashi for the special omakase dinner. The food was good, but not spectacular. It was good, simple, Japanese food. The... Wagyu suriyaki was the best dish of the five courses. The service staff were friendly. The rating is 3 stars because it was goodfood, but it was not great value for the price— $90 meal per person and only 1/5 dishes was exciting. Read more
This is a hidden delight of Durham. It's had to find a great place to enjoy noodles, not everyone knows how to get it right. I... can say that this place is a top 5 of all the places I've tried in California and N.C., very good choices that complement yourorder. I ruined my favorite shirt, definitely worth it. ????

Dashi serves good Ramen with an authentic look and feel of Ramen shop in Japan (very small). Lack luster service, appetizers,... and parking. Good experience, but likely won’t be back again. Parking: if you can find parking in the deck across the street,take it! It’s free during nights and weekends. Be mindful it’s usually completely full and there’s limited streetsparking. Dashi look and feel: this is a great place for smaller parties, under 4 people ideally. It’s a tight space andevery inch is thoughtfully utilized. The wood features and exposed concrete/brick is a great example of minimalistic, yetfunctional design and architecture. Service: we showed up to Dashi 15 mins before our reservation, but the hostess wasn’tthere until 5 minutes after our reservation was scheduled for, and didn’t get seated until 15 mins after. The person waitingon our table was a better experience, although we felt they had more tables than what they could comfortably handle. Not a lackof waiting skills, but simply too many tables to effectively tend to. Food: We ordered the Takoyaki Hushpuppies and Tunatartare to start, and the Hushpuppies were dry and couldn’t taste the Octopus whatsoever. The tuna didn’t have much fat, andtasted like the regular tuna you could pick up at your local grocery store. We ordered the Tonkotsu and Mazemen ramen bowls(with broth), which were much better than appetizers. The Tonkotsu broth isn’t as creamy as you’d expect from a pork ramen,but it was very tasty. The serving of pork belly was tiny. The eggs were pickled just right, and they were my favorite piece ofthe dish. The Mazemen does not come with broth, but the person waiting on us suggested to add broth, which we did and it wasreally good. The pork meatballs were very small and didn’t have a whole lot of flavor. It tasted like the meatballs werefrozen and heated back up in the soup. The drinks were ok. Nothing spectacular, but not bad either. Priced at around $15-$20per drink. Read more
