Everything was SO delicious and well prepared--and served with lots of smiles. We will keep coming here again and again.

I like the food here. I think they do well with flavors and the food menu variety. Where I think…read morethey suffer is pricing for portion. This is a good place every once in a while with the bar convenience but I would say there are restaurants in the area that offer a better portion for price. The service is good, they work hard and the bartender is working hard to change up their menu. Ambiance is beautiful but this place seems to be too pricey for us to come back consistently.

The menu seemed pricey but the ambiance and food quality more than deserves. It is nice tranquil environment. The service is quick and respectful and they are not shy in guiding. I had eggplant dish, which I have had at multiple chinese restaurants before, but haven't seen this style of creation. It looked and tasted awesome. I wish they had more vegeterian items on the menu especially for the dinner and that has held us back from visiting. They had nice chinese jazz music playing. I enjoyed the experience and will definitely visit again. I asked the server for vegeterian options during dinner, he said they are willing to accomodate e.g. fish with tofu. So we will be here again another time with family.

The price was really good, especially for the variety and quality of food. Everything was well seasoned, loved the dry chili chicken, super flavorful. The space inside is big and spacious and didn't feel crowded. Service was efficient too. They refilled the buffet trays pretty frequently and cleared plates, so the table never felt cluttered. The virgin mojito was so refreshing as well. Overall, a solid spot for lunch.

Highly recommend the Evil Noodles; zippy, spicy sauce, grill charred mushrooms and veggies and the super wide, pillowy rice noodles. I'm not a noodle expert, but they tasted/felt hand pulled; forgot to ask! I'd like to go back at least 20 times to try everything on the menu. They also have a group menu for private events and plenty of space to host a large group. We saw some of the family style dishes and sushi going by and it was first class.

For cocktails, we had the Silk Road and the Nightshade's Revival Barrel Aged cocktail. All the food felt fresh and was very flavorful. I used to dislike mango when I was young - I've since grown to be ok with it in my adulthood - but the Mango Tuna Crisp roll exceeded my expectations. The passion fruit definitely provided a nice contrast to the sweet mango that made it really delicious. Also, the spicy duck sauce with the spring rolls was a 10/10! That's the way I always want my duck sauce from now on. Unfortunately, I can't give it 5 stars because the wait time for service and the check during our meal was very long.

We were seated right away, and the customer service set the tone from the start. Our server was warm, attentive, and especially great at explaining how the dim sum works here. She did not just tell us; she actually demonstrated it, shared cooking tips, and made us feel completely comfortable jumping in. She checked on us often, and the rest of the staff was also wonderfully attentive without being overbearing. The food came out quickly. One of the best parts of the meal was being able to order steak, chicken, shrimp, and lots of vegetables, then cook everything just the way we liked it. It made the meal feel interactive, fun, and special. For my daughter and me, it was not just dinner -- it was an experience we got to create together. A heads-up for first-timers: there is a two-hour table limit since it is all-you-can-eat, and they do charge a fee for excessive waste. As long as you are reasonable and order what you can realistically eat, you should be totally fine. $39 per person. Thanks to Five Spice for a memorable mother-daughter experience.

The shirt on the server who guided me to my table through the well-lit, open space read "Ask me…read moreabout 2.99". So I did. This is the price of their house marg. So, of course, I ordered one. A minute or two later, it was in front of me - a goblet filled to the salty brim with a well balanced blend of tequila, lime juice, triple sec and ice. Everyone else at the table followed suit, but the service wasn't so instant. More on this later. We were a group of 9, with reservations. The table was nicely located and not off in a corner. There were 2- and 4-tops all around us. Another long table, this one bar height, butted the end of our regular height table. The servers soon separated them for easier access. Goji y Agave is the product of a partnership between a Mexican chef and an Asian one. There are two menus for food, but you can mix and match between them. Several of us ordered a little from each. Few of us could finish our entrees, the portions were so plentiful! An early snag was placing an order for nine drinks at once - the bar was overloaded, and the servers couldn't get them out together. This created a bottleneck where we could see them on the bar, but could not get to them. Folks were thirsty! This repeated when bringing out food. Once the food arrived, it was amazing, but it was a long wait getting all the orders for a large party together and out at once. Fortunately, it was early on a non-weekend night. Sadly, things were still delayed. But I still recommend going, just maybe don't take the whole gang at once!

I stopped by Goji y Agave after a work event for dinner. It was a Sunday evening around 7:30pm. Not…read moretoo crowded so I decided to sit at the bar. The space is very bright and has the unique feel indicated by the name, a little bit of Latin and Asian fusion. For dinner, I chose the red thai curry. It did not take long at all for them to get my food out, which I am very thankful for because I was very hungry. The red thai curry is delightfully flavorful and spicy. There was a decent amount of red thai curry and rice leftover for me to take them home for lunch the next day. The staff got me in, fed, and out the door in about 45 min.

Was able to try out Sushi Iwa in Apex for the first time and there were two rolls that I loved…read more First one was the "ROCK N ROLL" which had salmon, avocado, tempura flakes and spicy mayonnaise, topped with salmon, jalapeno and wasabi miso sauce. Second one was the "CHERISH U" which had spicy tuna and avocado, topped with salmon. Also had their yellow curry. The broth was delicious but would hold the onions next time if it's an option. Their rolls were BOGO which is always a plus when quality isn't sacrificed! Food came out quick and our server was super sweet. Overall will be back!

Went on a busy Friday night but were seated quickly. We started off with crab Rangoon which was…read morereally good (mostly cream cheese which is my preference). We then had the Tom Kha, Mongolian beef, and chicken hibachi meals. The portions are very generous so for many plate options it would be enough for 2 people. The service was good and the ambience is perfect for a family or friends dinner. Overall we liked our experience and will come back to try the BOGO sushi! One last thing I liked was how their menu has pictures of all of the meals so you get an idea of what it looks like (although for some of the pictures I feel like it doesn't do it justice).

Grabbed lunch from here recently and enjoyed myself!…read more The staff were polite and helpful throughout the meal. My wife and I ended up splitting the kimchi pancake as an appetizer, and we both got the beef bibimbap for our entrees. We didn't end up getting any interesting beverages this time, but there were a few draft and bottled beers available as well as soju, sake, and other variations of alcohol :) Anyway, our kimchi pancake arrived pretty quickly, and it was very tasty! I liked how the green onion was integrated throughout, and the dipping sauce was very flavorful. It looked like it may be a bit spicy but in fact was sweet-ish :) Our bibimbaps arrived soon after, served in hot stone bowls. In addition, they provided six different small side dishes, all of which were very tasty! I really enjoyed the variety, as they ranged from pasta salad to kimchi. Honestly, the bibimbap was maybe my least favorite part of the meal, which surprised me. It wasn't bad at all, with plenty of tasty veggies included, but it didn't blow me away. Maybe I should have added more of the bottled sauce they provided :) Overall, we both really enjoyed our lunch at Okja and would definitely come back!

We also got the: - Seafood Pancake (crispy flour pancake with squid, shrimp, crab meat & scallions): Definitely my favorite dish- perfectly crispy and simultaneously fluffy, lots of well-cooked seafood. - Tang Soo Yook (battered deep fried pork, drizzled in sweet & sour sauce): I've never had this dish before, but I will admit I imagined it a bit different. It was more batter forward so the pork did get lost, but the batter itself was super chewy and almost tapioca-like, which was interesting. I liked the sauce, but I wish it came separately for dipping as the pork did lose its crunch. - Bi-Naeng (cold buckwheat noodles with pickled daikon, cucumber, pear, hard boiled egg, beef & spicy sauce): So refreshing! Loved the chew of the noodles and how complementary the spicy sauce was with the sweet pickled toppings. The beef was on the tough side with not a ton of flavor though. Ambiance is really nice and spacious, there are two sides: one with the bar and booths, another with wooden benches. Service was surprisingly fast. Lots of parking. 8/10 would recommend!

I usually rotate between the pad thai and the nam khao, and both are absolutely packed with flavor. The textures, seasoning, and balance are spot on ( bold, vibrant, and deeply satisfying)! Every bite is amazing, and the food consistently delivers. The space itself is very small, but that just adds to the charm (for this reason we almost always do take-out). This is the kind of place that feels special because it's focused on the food, not flash. It's also one of my favorite spots to support a local business that's clearly doing something right. If you're looking for big flavor, thoughtful cooking, and dishes that stand out from the usual options, Yin Dee is a must-visit (literally never had a bad dish). Tiny space, huge payoff!

My wife had the Pisa Hut sushi roll which looked amazing and she said it was the best sushi ever. We did share an order of the pork pan fried dumplings which were delicious. Everything we had was a 10/10 and the service was a 10/10 (ask for Max!) The atmosphere and decor is so nice and its just a really cool spot in downton Apex. Not to mention, Sushi Suyu has a perfect 100 State Board of Health score. We cant wait to go back

Came here recently for dinner and enjoyed my meal…read more First, you can park in one of the big public parking lots and walk over here, so that's convenient. My wife and I booked a reservation for 5:30 PM, and the booking system was a little strange. First, you have to wait for the restaurant to confirm your reservation, so you're basically just submitting a request. Also, there's an "Assignments" selection in the reservation form which has a possible value of 1, 2, or 3. No idea what it means so I left it blank. Then, the next day, we received a curt text telling us that our reservation was confirmed and that they would only hold our table for 5 minutes. I mean, geez, I get it, but how hard is it to say "Thank you for dining with us!" or something to that effect? Not a huge deal, obviously, but kind of funny :) Our server did a pretty good job throughout the meal. The food was prepared quickly and it was very good! My two sushi rolls were very tasty, and my wife's sashimi was definitely fresh. Because we ate there in the late afternoon, there were also some happy hour specials that I appreciated ($13 for any specialty roll, and $6 for certain beers). The beer selection wasn't bad at all, and of course they had sake as well. Overall, we had a really good time at Sushi Suyu and would definitely come back!
