Spicy 9 Sushi Bar & Asian Restaurant

Stopped by for dinner and watched the UNC vs Duke game. Atmosphere and vibe was awesome, even though I went to NC State and was just there for dinner. The food was amazing as well, I got the ramen and the broth and noodles were fantastic. Their sushi was really good and dessert options were limited but delicious. The staff were also excellent and really made the whole experience super enjoyable. Overall, great dining experience and I noticed all the UNC fans there really enjoyed cheering on their team in a nice environment.

Stopped here for dinner on our daughter’s recommendation before heading home after her 1st semester in Chapel Hill. I can see why she loves coming here with her friends - generous portions, excellent food, and reasonable prices. The salmon sashimi was much better than I expected at the price point, as I usually have to pay about more for that quality. It’s crowded, as one would expect at a college town restaurant, but not too loud or cramped. Overall, well worth a stop if you’re in town and like sushi.

Hands down the best sushi I’ve had. Anytime I go somewhere else for sushi I compare it to Spicy 9!! Been coming here for about 10 years now and I have never had a disappointing meal. You can’t beat the BOGO deal and daily drink/beer specials. The sushi is fresh, has quality ingredients and comes out quickly. Service is always good and the restaurant is nice and clean and very spacious. I would go weekly if it weren’t about 50 mins from me :)

Solid lunch place. I get the BOGO rolls. My kid likes their boba a lot too. The service is always good. I do know this place gets stupid busy sometimes later in day… dinner, drinks, etc. Maybe plan ahead if you’re going at peak hours. The sushi is good, not great, but it’s Franklin Street, not Okinawa ;)

Food looked very tempting as we entered the restaurant looking for some lunch options around 3pm ish on a weekend. Lunch is till 4pm. The waitress came over quickly to take the order. She looked a lil grumpy. The Sushi is buy one get one free - both orders served in a single plate (as u can see in the pics) we ordered 2 sushi plates -flaming hot sushi & spicy tuna roll. The other order was also flaming hot and Rock n Roll spicy sushi with Tuna. We ordered the Pad Thai lunch box(chicken) which was def. bang for the buck (it comes with a salad, small regular California sushi rolls, 2 pieces of fried rolls & the pad Thai noodles. The last dish ordered was Panang curry with chicken ordered as Hot spice level with no green beans. The order was brought fairly quickly but the panang curry had a s
