Nudo Sushi Box in County Durham

Food was great and staff were amazing it was just freezing inside the shop and i even had 3 layers on. Some heating and it would be 5 star!

Best asian food in Durham area, food is fresh and tasty with the most understanding and helpful Staff I've seen, they are so friendly and patience.

Delicious food and friendly staff!

Lovely, helpful staff in here & food is always yummy. Nice to see a couple vegan options

We’ve been coming here for years as my son loves the gyoza and I love the fact it is always so chilled and quiet. I usually get sushi which is good quality, fresh and reasonably priced. Have generally avoided the hot meals in the past but today I decided to try the ramen. Oh my gosh, this is a total game changer! It’s made to order, hot, and extremely satisfying and delicious. We did have to wait a little as they had several orders for ramen - now I understand why! What a way to up your game Nudo! Will definitely be back.

Falling in love with food is always delicious

The 2 girls who served us yesterday were so friendly and were clearly working very hard on a very busy day. Thank you. Great service great food and great drinks

We wanted somewhere slightly off the beaten track as Durham was very busy hosting the Brass Festival. So we walked over Framwelgate Bridge into a quieter area and found Nudo. We both had a Bao bun (£4) after the lady behind the counter explained what one was by showing how she made one. We had pork char siu and aromatic duck, both with teriyaki sauce. The bun part is steamed bread and is very light. The buns were delicious. The only fault we found was that the bun is served in a small box even if you opt to eat inside and you get no cutlery (not needed with the bun) and no serviettes despite the sauce being very sticky. However the wc was available to wash hands when finished. It's more like a cafe than a restaurant. We would definitely eat here again.

Nice selection for Japanese style food. Good prices. Hope they had beers

You have a new fan your food - it's me 🖤 So delicious ramen 😋

staff are nice an friendly. some of the food is really good, such as the onigiri and sushi, but I tried the hot yakisoba meal yesterday because it was half price and the food was very dry, no dipping sauce for the dumplings, tasty was okay, a little on the bland side. was an okay meal for around 4 quid but would never purchase it at full price. I do like that there's a lot of half price food if you go fairly late in the day. In terms of atmosphere, I've literally only seen a max of 3 tables of people when I've been in, usually it's almost empty. overall it's okay if you need a quick meal late afternoon / early evening.

Lovely experience dining here. The sushi was crafted to perfection and the wonderful staff convinced me to try out their new bao buns! They were so soft and such a wild ride of texture and taste. You can’t skip out on their bubble teas and they were incredible! The staff are all incredible, funny and helpful including the short one (under 5’4”).

Absolutely amazing Sushi and passionfruit green tea.

First time I went I got the dumplings 6 for 5£ and a creme brulee brown sugar boba tea. Was the best. But now every time I go I’m let down. They either forget the tapioca, forget the brown sugar in the tea , take ages to serve cause they’re talking says they’re open at 10 went at half past and doors were still locked. Utepia is the place for me now. Dumplings r good but very inconsistent with their orders

Food was okay - noodles were bland, miso broth had no flavour at all. Pork was good, chicken was alright. A nice place but really let down by the staff who were being very loud, singing & banging on surfaces. Another lady who was dining couldn't get the attention of the staff as they were too busy singing apparently.

Super nice and helpful staff with excellent attitude. Delicious food too :)

By far my favourite food place in Durham. I've gone to Nudo for years and they've been expanding their menu over that time beyond just sushi (though the sushi is definitely a delight). If you want a delicious Japanese style meal and service from super friendly staff then this is the place to go.

Normally I come here on my work lunch break for the sushi, but that’s all changed since they started making absolutely unreal ramen, hands down the best ramen spot in the city, actually spicy then you ask for spicy! Generous portions, cooked fast and served by the lovely staff. Unbeatable tbh :)

Mmm yummy hot steaming freshly made ramen soup noodles ❤️

The sushi is terrible quality. Fish is not fresh and is extremely fishy, rice is cold and hard. For the price it is not good at all. If you want quick decent price takeout sushi go to kokoro instead.

Excellent coffee,friendly and welcoming staff,

Very good quality sushi. We had a couple of take-away boxes - Vegetarian gyoza and duck set & Veggi Sushi set. Both were delicious and probably better than Itsu. Would definitely come back and try some different ones too.

Love Nudo- my go-to sushi in Durham! Great service and great food.

Quality of sushi is awful, a disaster. Not only cold but also hard, especially, badly expensive compare to its value.

Outstanding experience either sitting in or taking away. Accommodating staff, fresh and delicious food - always exciting to visit again

Nice sushi to takeaway, good deals on multiple boxes. The staff is always friendly and helpful.

Really enjoyed my food from here. Will definitely be back.

Had a fab meal and green tea drinks will be back soon as was so good

Fantastic food, always fresh and with absolutely no waiting for food to be made.

Daddy and daughter (10 month) dinner date…. Two toilets… no baby changing facilities … come on guys we ain’t living in the stone ages.. really disappointing 😔 P.s love your food though

Had a Berry flavoured drink out of the fridge, some vegan chicken sushi out of the fridge, and then some tofu ramen, of which I asked for miso broth, considering I paid £19, it was the absolutley tasteless, just water with seaweed in, the sushi was 'ok' but the ramen was £8 and the worst thing I've ever put in my mouth, avoid.

Sushi used to be a lot better, now the fish quality is okayish. Salmon sashimi used to be my favourite.

Nice and fresh sushi, with delicious milk tea Wanpo! Recommend 💕💕

The choices here are really good and some of the food is great but I’ve visited on a few occasions and there have been multiple letdowns. The price of the food is pretty high, especially as it is pre-made and hot food is just warmed up in the microwave. However, some of the items are definitely worth the prices they are sold at due to ingredients and portion sizes. Unfortunately, the last few times I’ve been, my food has been really fatty and whenever I’ve had meat, about half of it is just fat. For the price, it’s really disappointing and honestly not worth going. There’s a few authentic asian places up North Road that do much more affordable, authentic, fresh and enjoyable food.

The sushi was delicious. We really enjoyed eating Japanese dishes from this place. Would recommend to others!

Quick and easy meals, always tasty.

Bueno, un poco costoso, para una vez está bien, el lugar perfecto

Picked up a couple of medium boxes for lunch. Nice selection of different combinations of sushi and sashimi, plus some hot options. Food was decent quality, but didn't blow me away. Reasonably priced.

Great fresh food at reasonable prices. Love this place

Food is always delicious and friendly staff. A brilliant place for sushi

I always enjoy eating her, both inside and take away. I've had takeaway almost every Friday for the last year, so I'd definitely recommend it to everyone.

The design, pricing and food offered all have very similar features to that of Wasabi, however the sushi is of a pretty good quality, they have a wide range of options both hot and cold as well as bubble tea, and do good deals later on in the day which are great for students. A great place for a quick Japanese takeaway or to properly sit down and have a nice meal!

Great food , nice and professional stuff:-)

We came here at around 11am when it opened, now before I start I just want to say that the staff is very lovely and welcoming, however there's a couple of issues, the food options were very limited, I'd say 80% of things were not available, this might have been because we were there so early but that begs the question, how can you open if you don't have so many things available? The next issue was the food, I got myself sushi while my partner had chicken katsu curry, now the katsu curry was very nice however, the sushi I had was possibly the worst sushi I've had in my life and I'm pretty sure was the reason why I felt ill an hour later, it was tasteless and freezing cold, I love sushi and I can honestly say I had better tasting sushi from a supermarket, I cursed myself for eating it later in the day as I've felt absolutely sick and ended up sleeping most of the day because of how bad it was. We also found the limited range of bubble teas disappointing, the flavours were all things that you'd have to come to like 1st, It would've been great if there was a normal range of teas like chai and oolong for people that don't like weird tastes. So, if you like warm foods, defo get some here, great price and tasty, but sushi? You're better off buying some in Tesco.

Great sushi at a good price. Staff very pleasant and helpful.

It is a lovey cafe staff very friendly

Good sushi, pleasant friendly staff. Very good concept for a restaurant

The staff are all amazing friendly and go above and beyond. Good quality food with reasonable prices. And people just give it a go the don't just do sushi there's more on there menu and it all tastes good

Good sushi and noodles for a working lunch to eat by the river.

Absolutely LOVE this place ❤ The range of different Sushi boxes and noodles is fantastic. Staff always kind, friendly & always happy to help.

Amazing sushi which is very well priced, and the staff are always really friendly too - would definitely recommend!

Really good selection of different sushi types and larger meals. Would definitely return as tasty food to meet the requirements of different people.

Absolutely love the food! Servers are sweethearts

Update October 2020 Popped into Durham to have a walk around and a change of scene. Lovely lunch here. Chicken teriyaki and sushi were the choices. Update July 2020 We visited a few weeks ago and were disappointed to find this Nudo closed due to the Coronavirus. But we were really happy today to call and find they’ve reopened. Yay! They are back to normal hours 10-20:00 Mon-Sat, 11-17:00 Sun. I chose sashimi, The Mrs chose a salmon set and we had prawn crackers as accompaniments with passion fruit and mango ice cream as desert. A lovely lunchtime treat.

Firstly a Big Thank You to the wonderful staff at the Durham Branch, especially to the gentleman who helped guide me through the maze , of placing a Collection Order (It was difficult and complex, and if not for the particular staff guidance, due to a system flaw, the order would never have been placed)sadly I didn't get the gentleman name. The Sushi is amazing and fresh. The shelves were almost empty at 2pm too. So highly recommend ordering in advance, as I traveled all the way from Northallerton, to avoid disappointment. Please Nudo fix your collection service. 'I'll be Back'

Honestly it's the best priced and tastiest Japanese food I've ever had. The staff are always super friendly as well and as someone who is super anxious they make me feel incredibly welcome!

Delicious food and good variety. Nice staff too.

Who doesn't love sushi.. best place for sushi in Durham

Very clean, and food very tasty.

Great selection, great quality food and friendly service

Lovely service today from Magda at Nudo Durham. They've got a good range of sushi boxes, hot meals and some rather delicious bubble tea which, with the current discount makes it even better. Wish there were more of these places around down south! Can't wait for our next visit....

Nudo are open again, only for take out of course but Yay! We called in today to get lunch, a sashimi set for me and a sushi set for The Mrs. With prawn crackers and then mango and passion fruit ice cream for desert. After collecting the food we drive home to dig in and it was soo nice. Great to have Nudo back in action.

I recommend the Vegetable kit, It's kind of fresh but not really, I prefer paying £4 for a return ticket to the YO SUSHI in the metro, If your in the area, I would recommend that you do check it out, there are better places around, but I certainly recommend.

I was a bit disappointed today, I've been to other Nudo branches and had some nice sushi but today in Durham was a major let down. Tuna steak cuts were paper thin and a bit tasteless, also the avacado in my roll was visibly off on the underside. I hope this is a one off.

Food is always fantastic and fresh. The restaurant always looks clean. Staff are always really friendly.

Great food and drinks, staff are always very friendly and happy to help, 5*

Great food, lovely staff and wasn't overly priced.

Great place if you like sushi. Friendly staff and reasonably priced. Only rated four out of five as would be awesome if they served hot sushi too!

I would rather eat at an Nudo than Starbucks but the latter is much more popular in Durham. Why? Because you can’t sit and work in Nudo as the lifting is so dark and it has the atmosphere of a failing place. Just a few more bright lights and make it so people can grab a healthy lunch and do a bit of work on laptops etc would make it less empty and depressing.

Not crowded or unclean but often limited to what I can buy, most of the time the shelfs are empty and forced to go to other shops

Locale dove puoi sia fare take-away sia mangiare varietà di sushi ma non solo, che scegli liberamente dal bancone e che il personale ti riscalda al microonde. Abbiamo mangiato sui comodi tavoli che danno sulla vetrata verso strada e ci siamo trovati bene. Atmosfera rilassante e personale molto gentile e disponibile

Absolutely love this place and visit it for lunch whenever I'm visiting Durham. I usually take food back for lunch the next day too; just check the use-by dates on the back of the boxes to see what lasts an extra day. They have a range of hot and cold food, from ramen to katsu curry, miso soup and a huge selection of freshly prepared sushi 'bento' boxes. The medium sushi boxes are about £5 and the larger ones are £7 - £8 roughly. Cheaper if you take-out, but it's a nice atmosphere to sit and eat your food in the cafe too so I usually do that. They also have a small range of Japanese desserts (e.g. anko cakes) and drinks (e.g. tapioca, green tea, grape soda, etc.). The staff are always very friendly too and happy to help you decide what to eat. Highly recommend trying it if you like Japanese food.

Good range of pre-prepared sushi, plenty of seating. Breastfeeding friendly.

Lots of vegan options. Can sit in or takeaway. Slightly overpriced but the food was nice. They do bubble tea.

Quite expensive and didn't understand the packaging as it wasn't in English.

Nice place that seemed popular with students. The concept is great and the choice for vegetarians and vegans is excellent. Friendly staff and decent prices along with really nice food.

1 box easily fills you up. however, price is only competitive durham market stalls are not up. eating inside is also a premium.

Love the Veggie dumplings can eat boxes of them very quiet place to eat perfect to get away from all the busy crowds.

Probably the worst quality sushi I’ve ever had. The chicken in the Katsu curry tasted very rubbery. Avoid this place if you like good food.

I’ve been to Nudo a couple of times and am quite impressed. There is a very extensive range of sushi available and items are clearly marked with vegan/gluten free allergy advice. Hot dishes are also available and we really enjoyed the chicken katsu curry in particular! Nice selection of bubble teas which also seemed popular. Staff are very very nice and willing to help, always smiling and genuinely helpful. The restaurant is a fair size with lots of space and a nice layout and with free WiFi, it’s a great space to bringing a laptop along and read or work over lunch. Great setting at the foot of Durham city centre too.

For a prepared meal it was excellent.plenty of choice.

I was there last week and enjoyed the food very much, I went back the following day with my husband and he too enjoyed the food. Quick service, polite staff, fabulous tasting food and superb air conditioning. Would definitely return and highly recommend it

The Sushi is okay. I am not a Sushi fan but if you want to eat something really quick this is the place. You don't have to wait for the food to be ready, you just grab it from a fridge and then pay. So no, the food is not that fresh but it looks good and the flavour is decent. The food price is moderate but drinks and desserts expensive. The place is tidy and clean, there is plenty of space to eat the food there as well.

These take-out boxes look reasonably authentic however the taste is far from it (and we should know having recently returned from 2 weeks in Japan). The main issue is that everything is far too sweet. I know sushi is rice with some rice vinegar, but these were sweetened so much it was like a dessert! The dipping sauce for the gyozas was just BBQ sauce watered down (something we didn't see whilst over there!). I know this kind of food isn't ever going to be as good as in Japan, but I've had better (and a low cheaper) in the UK from supermarkets.

Nowhere I've been consistently does sushi as well as Nudos. Beautiful salmon sashimi/nigiri and the best bubble tea.

Had lunch to take away today. Lovely food great staff who are very helpful. Just fab. Love Durham. It's a great place to live and to visit.

Came in with the intention of trying sushi everything looked fantastically colourful and a great selection was available. How ever after seeing they did a japanese style chicken curry i had to try it i was not dissapointed. Truley tasty. Maybe next time i pop in i may try some sushi. Staff seemed keen and were happy to help me with any questions being a sushi newbie. Thanks nudo delicious x

Visit Nudo's always when in Durham, well mostly go to Durham just to get sushi from here. The rice is always moist and soft. The fish is always tasty the hand roll fantastic, make sure you get some mayo to go on them. Lovely lovely food. The staff are helpful and friendly and if you get a loyalty card you get fab freebees!

Lovely clean restraunt, polite and knowledgeable staff and really nice food. Enjoyed my visit here very much

Since Japan is one of the greatest food nations on Earth, and in my opinion has the most advanced restaurant culture, it feels great that this has expanded world wide from Sushi bars to restaurants. I found the staff in Nudo Sushi Durham to be friendly, deliver great service as well as food and as a bonus play a variety of good music to suit anyone's taste. 5 stars.

Amazing Japanese food in reasonable prices, a very nice environment to be with frieds or to do some works.

Went post work, pre-show with friends.

Not somewhere I would go in to have a sit down meal. However the food is delicious. There is a great deal of choice and it is very reasonably priced. I picked up a selection of different types of sushi for Saturday night dinner after a shopping trip to Durham in the afternoon. I will definitely go back.

Very good food and pleasant experience. Great service , highly reccomend!

Popped in, got salmon and tuna sashimi and a Diet Coke. The food was scrumptious and the service attentive.

Nice food. However, be careful with the sushi boxes. Got food poisoning recently from one of them. Got very little contact back when trying to warn the establishment.

Not the best. Sushi was ok but overpriced. You can pick up much better quality and larger boxes in other chains. It served a purposed.

Took us a long time to try this place, which is surprising since we really like Japanese food. Somehow didn't notice it, even though it's quite big. We have now eaten here several times and have never been disappointed. First thing to note is that the restaurant itself is spotlessly clean. Nice bright open space with large windows. Food is pre prepared and you choose from refrigerated shelfs and take to counter. Any food requiring heating is brought to your table. It's not plated up, as expected in a fast food restaurant, but everything we have tried has been delicious. Good choice of drinks, especially smoothies and ice teas. Staff are very pleasant and helpful. Also very handy for takeaway, nice in the summer if you want to have lunch next to the river. We will defiantly be going back.
