Was able to try out Sushi Iwa in Apex for the first time and there were two rolls that I loved. 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! read more

Went on a busy Friday night but were seated quickly. We started off with crab Rangoon which was really 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). read more

This was my first time at Sushi Iwa, and it was a great experience. The restaurant was clean and spacious. Their menu is a binder that has pictures of each dish, which is extremely helpful. I had their Beef Lo Mein, and it was the best Lo Mein I have ever eaten (and I have had lots)! There were bits of beef that were crispy around the edges (in the best way), and the flavor was amazing! Based on this first experience, I would return here again. read more

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. read more

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.

Sushi Iwa - CRAB RANGOON SEAWEED LEMON SALMON MISO (BOWL) GENERAL TSOS CHICKEN FRIED RICE - Asian Fusion Near Me - Apex, North Carolina

Good morning! I am new to the Area and my girlfriend wanted to meet for lunch here yesterday. The name implied it was just a sushi bar and so I was trying to work out what I would eat because I'm not a huge sushi fan. But they had everything in anything you could imagine. They had Thai food, Chinese food, Japanese food, appetizers, the lunch portions were gigantic! And I got the Penang curry with shrimp, and it was absolutely fabulous. My friend got the Mongolian beef, which I made her give me a taste and it was also fantastic. The side salad was fresh and crisp and their sesame ginger dressing which is made in house was so good that we actually bought some to take home. I will be back and I will bring my husband. We live 45 minutes away. But I it is one of those restaurants that is totally worth the drive! Very happy to have found an excellent Asian restaurant. read more

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. read more

Good food and friendly staff !!!! Love the bogo sushi's, fresh and delicious! Good menu with lots of options read more

I am a delivery customer. Great taste and great portions. Nice menu. I do have a few comments regarding the Pad Thai: 1. Too much liquid. It really makes a mess and the bags leak. 2. I wish adding egg to it was an option. But I'll still order it. read more

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. read more

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! read more

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! read more

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. read more

Good food and always pleasant people. I only have done take out but no issues to speak of.

Great quality and decent prices. Portion size is better than the Sushi Iwa in Morrisville. We order from here all the time!

Most times, I get food to go here. Today, I sat down and must say the service was good. The sushi I had was excellent, and I will definitely consider this place in the future. They have many options for those who don't care for sushi. The lunch portions are generous, so come and enjoy! read more

We went there on a Saturday evening, and the place was PACKED! It was very hard to walk in to put our names down, but the staff remained calm, respectful and friendly... I don't know how they do it! But they took care of everyone on their turn. The menu is full of options, I loved how they put pictures of the rolls, so you know exactly what to expect. We got the colosseum and it was delicious , the sushi rolls were so good too. It's one of the very few places that still do the "bogo" and the quality is excellent. I loved how they were so generous with the fish roe . read more

Let's start with the good. The ambience is exactly what you would expect from a sushi restaurant. It feels clean and the waitress checks on you every 30 seconds. Now for the other stuff. The menu is roughly the size of a 1980s encyclopedia Britannica collection. This isn't necessarily bad because they have sushi roll laid out in excruciating detail. If you haven't been to the gym this day, you can consider lifting the menu a bicep workout. I had to give it four stars mainly because the price which I think is a tad steep. This isn't a place I could go regularly because it is just too much. Outside of that it is a good place to eat. If you don't mind being checked on all the time and want a basic sushi roll in a nice clean restaurant. read more

Greasy and heavy. I had two bites and was overwhelmed with the tempura. I brought this up and they didn't offer to change it for something else, just that this is the way it was and if I wanted a to go box. Atrocious. Never going back. read more

We've been going here for about 6 years now, but we mostly do carry out and we always order sushi... we keep saying we're going to try something new but we haven't yet. My favorite roll is the White River and my husband's favorite is Cherish You. We also always get the miso and edamame. Nice sized portions. The only thing that bugs me is they don't seem to read the notes when we place the order, for example we will ask for 6 packs of low sodium soy and will get 2 packs of regular... ??? Or no ginger and get a ton... anyway it's not that big of a deal and we have learned to check the bag before leaving. read more

Really good sushi for a great price. The quality of the sushi, and the amount that you get for their bogo deal is unmatched. They also have a great selection of foods other than sushi (thai, soups, etc...). But their sushi is my favorite for both the quality, and the ability to eat until full without breaking the bank. Will be back again to try out their other rolls. read more

I have eaten here several times over the last few years. Usually ordering the BOGO sushi, but occasionally appetizers & other entrees. The sushi is good - never disappoints. The other meals like general tso's chicken, I really enjoy that it's large pieces of white meat chicken - different from your everyday Chinese-American take out place (in a good way!). The employees have always been friendly and provide good service as expected. read more

Only done take out but the food has always been good. Recommend there curries, specials, and their appetizers. Food has always been done quickly and following notes put in take out menu at checkout (extra spices, utensils, etc.) This location is always busy when I go out and get our food and has friendly staff. read more

Overall the place was a solid 4. Not amazing but certainly not bad. I would go back because their menu is huge! Which is great for sushi lovers, you have a lot of options. One roll was a little fishy but the Red Roll was amazing! The service was great. The only complaint was the crab Rangoon did not have enough crab it was mostly the deep fried part. Other than that it is a solid place to get sushi and it's BOGO! read more

Food was very good, interior was fine. What I didnt like was their charging 75 cents for a small container of salad dressing which was not disclosed to us and I find it outrageously expensive! I've never know restaurants to practice this tactic and it definitely reflects badly on their reataurant. In addition an 18% gratuity was added to a party of 6, also an uncommon practice for a small party. To make matters worse, the receipt said, "gratuity not included " yet clearly it was. Terrible practice to squeeze money from consumers in a sneaky way. Bring your own salad dressing!, but then they will probably add a surcharge for a straw! read more

The tuna was not fresh and didn't taste good. Everything else was good. I'll have to try again

I was in town visiting family, and they took me here. I'm so glad they did. I didn't have many expectations as it was a sushi place in the middle of a suburban shopping center, but it was really fantastic. It's pricey, but you get a lot of food with your order, and they have BOGO sushi deals. The menu is really extensive, and the rolls have creative names. They can do some customization for you if there's a roll you're interested in but don't want one of the ingredients. Aside from the sushi, the teriyaki is flavorful and the noodles are great. Our edamame was unevenly seasoned, but I still enjoyed it. I ended up ordering the rock n roll and veggie tempura rolls and a side of lo mein noodles. It all hit the spot. Service was really prompt and they made sure we always had enough water. Next time I'm in town I'll make sure my family takes me here again! read more

Great BOGO deal! But be sure to order through their website directly! Love their rolls! The one with the lemon sliver on top, is the best!!

I'm a little sad but I feel a lot has gone downhill since my last visit several years ago. The prices have sky rocketed for one and is super expensive. It seemed like the manager brought our cocktail out but didn't seem that friendly. We ordered hot green tea and the tea packet they used wasn't that great and the pot didn't retain heat at all. The pot was cold by the time the tea steeped and they used to use large pots but now they are small. I ordered chicken and veggies pad Thai, several sushi rolls and some fried rice. The fried rice tastes like a frozen bag of fried rice, the chicken in the pad Thai was inedible. It was rubbery and chewy. The noodles itself were okay but the choice of veggies were off. My partner didn't enjoy the sushi either as it was all really warm and didn't feel as fresh. The lemon sushi roll had a slice of a whole lemon rind under the fish, which was unappealing. The place didn't feel too clean either and the cleaning of tables looked and felt rushed, missing cleanly it properly. Our server we had though was very nice. All of the servers seemed nice but the managers looked miserable and unfriendly. read more

I had heard good things about Sushi Iwa and decided to finally give it a go. I went with their BOGO sushi and ordered the hot mama and rainbow roll. Both rolls were 20.95 each. I also got some crab rangoon as an appetizer. The crab rangoons were yummy and hard to mess up. In my opinion, the sushi was not as good as what people told me. The rice was cold instead of room temp. The rolls weren't cut evenly as some were huge and hard to eat in one bite (which is the only way to eat sushi. If you cut your roll in half, you're doing it wrong. And lastly, the rolls were sort of falling apart. I wasn't impressed. I'm hoping their other dishes are better than their sushi. If I come back I would try those but definitely not for the sushi. I do appreciate that they have pictures for everything on the menu. The service was good and there's plenty of parking since it's in a shopping center. There's a few spots in front of the restaurant but you'll have better luck with the parking lot in the back. read more

I did a takeout with Sushi Iwa. I took the Imperial Chicken Entree. The chicken was slightly harder than expected. It seemed cooked fine, but I did not enjoy it much. I never ate inside the place, so I do not not much about the service or ambiance. read more

My family and I have been here many times, mostly for eat in, but did take out this week. My daughter and I love the sushi, always fresh and a huge selection. My grandson loves the sesame chicken or the lo mien dish with beef. We have had the edamame as well and it is a good sized portion. They do have many other dishes besides sushi, so there is something for everyone, but most people go there for the sushi. They are always busy, but you have a better chance of getting in on a week night. I have never been for lunch. They give you a list of the sushi and a pencil and you check off the ones you want. The menu has pictures and descriptions of the sushi that helps a lot. Service is usually good, but its sometimes hard to get a drink refill or the waiter's attention if you need something. Our #2 place for sushi, and we eat it a lot...it is my daughter's favorite food. We will be back! read more

I am not sure as to why I have never completed a review of this place. We have been eating here for years and always enjoyed their sushi. I have never ate in - I have always ordered online while someone else would deliver it to me - so yesterday was my first time actually going into the location. If you are not familiar with this restaurant, they have over 80 sushi rolls to choose from on their menu. The rolls are buy one and get one free. I can't speak for the entrees - as I have never had one, but they look pretty good from the other reviews. Honestly, the sushi menu can be very overwhelming at first because of all the choices! You have rolls with cream cheese, fried, baked, with bananas, dried fruit, mango, and EVEN BACON. The combinations of flavors and toppings can be enhanced with any additional adds on you like (additional charge of course). They are a little more pricier than some other places, but we believe for what you get, it's worth the money. This time we ordered the following: Malaysia Spring Rolls: Crispy spring rolls filled with minced beef, Enoki mushroom, garlic, purple onions and yellow curry. Two pieces. Vegetable Spring Rolls: Crispy spring rolls filled with cabbage, shiitake mushroom, rice noodles, onion and carrot. Two pieces. Sweet Potato Tempura Roll with Cream Cheese Spicy Tuna Roll with Cream Cheese Mango Tango: Soy paper wrapped around rice, mango, avocado and dried plum, topped with mango sauce and pomegranate sauce. Las Vegas Roll: Grilled eel, crab stick, cream cheese and avocado, crispy Tempura style and topped with Eel Sauce. Fireman: Seared albacore and Tempura flakes, topped with avocado, orange carviar, red roe, wasabi roe and spicy mayonnaise. Bagel Rolls (2 of them): Salmon, cream cheese and avocado, crispy Tempura style and topped with Eel Sauce. Payday Roll: Shrimp tempura and cream cheese, topped with mayonnaise shrimp, crab stick, orange caviar, pepper jack cheese and spicy mayonnaise, oven baked to golden brown. We also made sure to include a note with the Payday Roll stating: **FOOD ALLERGY** PLEASE BAG THE PAYDAY ROLL IN A SEPARATE CONTAINER ***************** Our bill totaled about $80.00 with tax. Keep this in mind, as it is very important - I am allergy to shellfish and the Payday roll has shrimp in it and ON TOP. We set the order to be picked up by 7:30 the same day. Once we arrived at the location, it was PACKED! I mean PEOPLE everywhere. It was somewhat of an uncomfortable feeling - I know the bans have been lifted to some degree, but yeah - that was a little tooo much for me. I walked into the building and notice it is jammed packed with people and FOOD. I mean there are to go overs EVERYWHERE, people at tables eating, people standing awaiting their food, phones ringing - total nightmare. However, the lady greeted me and asked what my name was. She looked for the order and brought it over to confirm it was mine and that everything was as requested. When we got to the PAYDAY being bagged separate, she paused and said I don't think so. We look over the online order and it's clearly there in bold. You can tell she was a little panicky at this point, so am I. None the less, she took the order to the side and inspected it. Everything was in deed there and in fact they did put it in a separate container AND BAG! Great stuff! With that, I grabbed the food and rolled out. Our favorites out of this were: Fireman Roll Payday Roll Las Vegas Roll The Bagel Roll Malaysia Spring Rolls with Sweet Chili Sauce The other rolls were good, but they just didn't make us want to go back for more. The Spicy Tuna and Sweet Potato Rolls with Cream Cheese were simple rolls - nothing to them. The Mango Tango, was sweet and fresh but I would want that as like a "dessert" and with that I wouldn't want it while eating my regular savory sushi (personal preference). The Vegetable rolls was a little greasy for our taste buds and well it didn't have a lot of flavor. It could it have been that it wasn't fresh out the fryer and had sat for a little but overall it just wasn't something we wanted to have again. I did see the other reviews, speaking of the food not being fresh and regarding the amount of food that was presented for the price. I can't say that we have experienced the same. However, we can't speak for anything outside of cooked sushi and apps. read more

Honestly, its been over a year since I've been here cuz felt the quality was headed downhill. Today I wanted to have some sushi at an odd time 3:30pm and this was the only place that I could find that was open. Even found out that they served lunch menu till 4pm! Ordered bogo rolls (sexy girls) and jalapeño chicken, and it was soooo good!!! Both the sushi rolls and chicken dish were tasty! The chicken dish has large chunks of white chicken meat and the sauce is sweet and spicy, really tasty, so glad i returned!! read more

Great place! Always bogo but the prices are a bit higher so it only make sense to take advantage of the bogo deal. Always good sushi and great service. I love the fantasy eel and cherish u.
