    Beef pad thai
    Erika G.

    I had pad thai and miso soup both of which were delicious! The service was great! The waitress was kind and friendly. Little to no wait time. Overall great option for dinner!

    Sushi Iwa at 2026 Creekside Landing Dr, Apex won us over from the momeent we walked in. The Fried Rice arrived steaming, every grain kissed with flavor, and the Orange Chicken struck that perfect sweet-savory balance that makes you pause between bites just to appreciate it. The sushi portions were generous. Each roll a full, satisfying meal on its own. Landon, our server, couldn't have been kinder. He guided us through our options, knowing we were first timers. By the end, we felt both full and looked after. We'll be back for sure.

    As a Californian, I didn't expect the sushi in NC to be soooo good but sushi iwa beat my expectations. My family and I got takeout and we had a little bit of everything, and everything was delicious. The staff at pickup was super sweet and the inside of the restaurant smelled amazing. Excited to come back next time I visit Apex!

    Dumplings

    Came here for a special evening out and this was a great place to celebrate. The food was delicious and the service was really good. We had a lot of sushi, dumplings, and egg rolls and nothing was disappointment. Very nice ambiance as well in the restaurant.

    Stopped here to try the buy one sushi roll and get one roll free. But I wasn't impressed or satisfied with the sushi. Our small plates and dishes for soy sauce were not clean and it bothered me that the person putting this on the table didn't notice. Once another bowl was brought to replace the other, again not clean. We started with an order of crab Rangoon's and these were hot and crispy. I did like these. The two types of sushi we ordered were just not that great and we didn't finish the order. I didn't get that much flavor or feel the sushi was super fresh. The place was so busy I had to flag down someone to ask for our check.

    Salad with ginger dressing
    Dale D.

    Lunch sushi and sashimi is full of variety and flavors. The Seaweed Salad is fresh and crispy lettuce,tomatoes, carrots, and plenty of Seaweed with ginger dressing. The steamy hot sweet and sour soup is packed with many flavors, tofu, mushrooms, and umami tastes is very warming and satisfying.

    Omg!!!! I am always left impressed when a restaurant has great vegetarian sushi options and Sushi Iwa did not disappoint. We tried the miso soup and it was divine. We also ordered the drunken noodles with tofu and egg with a side salad, pretty in pink sushi and the super veggies sushi. The pretty pink was too good. It had crunchy nuts and sweet potato inside. The super veggies one was a bit spicy for me because of the jalapeño, but it was delicious regardless. The drunken noodles were my second favorite. Them came loaded with tofu and eggs which was a plus. The salad with the house ginger dressing offered a perfect balance with the other dishes. Loved the food and such a great casual place to grab Asian food. The ambience is very simple, but the food totally slaps!

    Classy dining area. Service was really good, food came out fast. We ordered the chef Q, fantasy eel, forever young, and rock and roll. In order of tastiest to least, it was forever young, rock and roll, and fantasy eel/chef Q. Their ginger ale is also surprisingly good!

    Sushi Iwa roll & can't remember the 2nd one. Also Panag Curry.

    We have been here many times and always enjoy it. Looks like they did a small renovation as soon as you walk in. It looks nice. We were seated within 2 minutes. Had some sushi and Thia food tonight. Both were delicious. Will definitely be back. Sushi is always B.O.G.O. Their sushi selection is nice. They also have many different choice for other Asian food as well. Check this place out.

    This is one of my favorite places to take people for sushi…read more Gas station sushi? Yes, please. Being completely honest, even my husband was skeptical when that's how I described it to him before our first visit, and now he shares in my joy in introducing people to this wonderful little spot. They do à la carte service, with some regular features, some specially curated; and some timed options. They close between lunch and dinner, to reset - but don't kick people out right at closing. I have seen other patrons tell people walking in as they are closing up, that they are closing up though, which is kind of cute, and helpful to the business.

    Grabbed lunch here recently and had a great time!…read more First, there were a handful of dedicated parking spots for Akami, so that was nice :) We came kind of near closing so there were a few openings, but I'm not sure what it'd look like during peak hours. We were seated immediately and ordered quickly because of the aforementioned closing :) I got a couple of specialty rolls (the phat boy and the voodoo rolls) while my wife got a sashimi appetizer platter. The food was prepared quickly, and oh man, I was not ready for the amount of food I received. Next time, I'll definitely get one roll and then a couple of pieces of sashimi or something. Anyway, the voodoo roll in particular was super tasty! Maybe the best sushi I've had in the state. The phat boy roll wasn't bad but I'll probably skip that one next time. My wife enjoyed her sashimi as well. Service was polite and efficient throughout. Overall, I really liked Akami and would definitely come back!

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!

This week my teen reminded me that a new Ramen place has opened in the same facility so I decided to give it a try. The ambience is cozy, though I found that tables are very close to each other, so it is very hard to keep a conversation going without you either disturbing the other table or worrying about having someone else listen to your conversation menu is fine. I did not care for sushi because I was there for Ramen. Besides, they have a vegetarian Ramen is what I was looking for, my daughter ordered a teriyaki Ramen. My vegetarian Ramen had a lot of tempura in it, which defeated the purpose a little bit for me because it was a little oily. The taste was more or less like a red curry and there was very less vegetables mostly it was sweet corn and one or two bok choy on the other hand my teen, who is very hard to please loved the teriyaki Raman and is already planning to go back this weekend to try the other ones , all in all I gave this place a four star because the umami of the Ramen was very comforting, even though I did not like the taste much

The boys went with miso soup, which was flavorful but came out lava hot. Like, ice-cube-required hot. Tasty, but proceed with caution if you have kids. For sushi, we kept it simple and solid with a mix of one classic and two specialty rolls: Spicy Tuna, Phoenix, and the Crunchy Roll. All were fresh, well-made, and hit the spot. Food came out quickly, service was friendly and attentive, and the overall value felt right. Since we live nearby, this will definitely stay in our regular rotation.

Crispy Salmon Roll was light and refreshing and their Rainbow Roll was like no other I've had.

We set up a reservation as it is can be difficult to just drop in unless you are prepared to wait. The atmosphere is great, with excellent ambiance, and all the staff that we met were very upbeat and kind. To start we had the Tom Kha soup and a sushi roll, spicy tuna. The Tom Kha was very disappointing. It just had a very very watered down taste with hardly any coconut flavor. It was missing the traditional Thai flavor and had zero sour flavor to it that is usually brought in by the lime juice at the end. Perhaps they forgot to make it properly. The spicy tuna roll was just ok. It had heavy rice with a small amount of tuna. Freshness was good. My wife ordered the Pad Thai which must be the most popular dish as everyone was ordering it. Her feedback was that it was average and a bit dry. I ordered the Pad Kra Pao which was very good. The flavor was excellent and I used the remaining sauce to put over some steamed white rice. My only feedback was the spice level. I specifically asked my server if the spice was traditional Thai level or was he grading the spice on a more moderate scale. He assured me, the levels were Thai and that the food was very spicy. I went medium spice and it was very light and tame. I would go more spicy in the future. Overall the experience was a nice outing and we enjoyed the location. The food however was very mid range. Having traveled throughout Thailand, I was really hoping to have a more authentic experience but this feels like a sort of fusion. We have now tried 4 or 5 Thai spots around the greater Triangle area and Osha has been at the bottom food wise. With such amazing other feedback, I have to wonder if we just experienced an off-night for the amazing Thai food

Not this month, not just sushi, not just in NC...but one of the top meals of all time anywhere. We had the Grand Omakase, which came out to 10 courses in total. I won't go into detail on each and every course, but let's just say that each and every course was of the highest quality fish, sushi or meat we've had anywhere. From the sushi flown out straight from Japan, to the beluga caviar and A5 Wagyu, and everything in between. We've had sushi across the nation and overseas, 100s of times. This has taken the top #1 spot out of all of them, especially with what we were served in the Grand Omakase package. Impeccable service, 8 sushi chefs all working efficiently at once in an open style sushi kitchen, all within a classy (but not pretentious by any means) establishment. The Grand Omakase package here is one of those bucket list items for anyone who loves sushi, top shelf meats and fish, and enjoys a high level foodie experience.
