    Miso Soup
    Adriana P.

    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.

    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.

    Beef pad thai

    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!

    CHERISH U

    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!

    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.

    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!

    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!

    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.

I was actually a little nervous going in because certain Chinese dishes tend to upset my stomach, so I tried to avoid some of the heavier noodle and chicken dishes that normally do that to me. Honestly, I think that was the best decision because I thoroughly enjoyed my meal and felt completely fine afterwards. I started with the crab rangoons, which were perfectly creamy on the inside and crispy on the outside -- absolutely delicious. Then I tried the pork-filled bao buns, which was my first time ever having them, and I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed them too. Everyone else at our table seemed to really enjoy their food as well. I genuinely didn't hear a single complaint. We also ordered some drinks that were delicious, and both our server and the rest of the staff were absolutely fantastic and very welcoming throughout the night. The atmosphere and vibes inside are honestly one of the coolest parts of the experience. It somehow feels like a mix between a brewery, a florist, a bookstore, and a Chinese restaurant all at once. It's such an interesting and unique space that doesn't really feel like anywhere else. Overall, this was a great experience, and I would absolutely come back to try more items on the menu.

I stopped in just a they were opening on a Friday and thank goodness I showed up when I did, this place gets packed quick and you should book a reservation to be on the safe side. I was most excited about the duck egg rolls but ended up being my least favorite not because they were slightly on the dry side. Flavor was good, and the hoisin honey sauce really helped! The seafood dumplings were second best, stuffed full. The soup based was amazing and it also came with some bread for dipping in the leftover sauce. The pork and chive shumai were my favorite! A little bit bigger than bit sized but worth the mouth full! Absolutely would recommend. I'll 100% be back for more food. The bar side looked to be more casual, the dinning room was full of high tea attire so I did feel a little under dressed, thought it would be slightly more casual. They have the cutest library with free books to read but only while you dine in. The flower and book shop are in the middle of the space. Super cute, limited options but great for a last minute bouquet!

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!

There's not a ton of seating, but we got a table quickly. The service was quick, and even though the place was small, it felt more cozy than cramped. I liked having the menu on the wall! They had two vegan options, and my partner & I both got the Biang Biang noodles. It was good, and perhaps even better the next day (the serving was big enough that I couldn't finish it). My sister got the Jjajiang Mian & absolutely loved it. This was a very positive experience, but not mindblowing--I think that the hype around the "M" restaurants perhaps raised my expectations a bit too much. It's also possible that their non-vegan options are stronger than their vegan options. Overall, though, very yummy, the prices are very reasonable for Durham ($16 for the Biang Biang noodles), and I would come back & try the veggie curry if given the chance.

I was disappointed however when they told me they are currently out of the vegan udon curry dish, which was 1/2 items I could eat. Nevertheless, I ordered the other dish, Biang Biang Noodles. The store was not full, there were two servers and at least 3 tables that were empty but the wait time to get my single dish or noodles took over 30 minutes - way longer than expected. While the noodles were well cooked and packed with flavor, I felt that the dish was far too oily and without much tofu/protein. Perhaps the other meals are less oily and more protein packed, but for being the only vegan option available that day, unfortunately this is all I have to offer at this time.

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.
