    Drinks 11/2025

    The food is best sushi in the triangle. There is an amazing menu with a lot of options. The cucumber roll is my second favorite thing to eat. The other option is the pork dumpling. Excellent taste. The attention is always top notch. They're always available for your requests and are very polite. The hot sake is on special on Thursdays! And it is a very good pre-meal drink.

    Amazing service, cozy atmosphere, and top notch sushi. So many great options and no issues with too much rice and not enough fish. Highly recommend any of the nigiri as well, huge chunks of fresh fish.

    We sat at the bar and the customer service was quick. The restaurant had a nice vibe to it. I forgot the name of the dishes but they were really good. I think the portion size was great. I'd come back.

    Outside. Storefront. Plenty of free parking, both paved dedicated lots and street parking, available in the immediate area. Front door.

    I give Sushi Suyu 3.5 stars rounded up to 4. If this restaurant was located in a bigger metropolitan area, like Atlanta, I'd give it a solid 3 ("OK"). For the Triangle, it's good, but not great like M Sushi in Durham and Sushi Mon in Raleigh. That said, I don't regret making the 25-minute drive from Chapel Hill to Apex to try it. Sushi Suyu is located in historic downtown Apex. The town is lucky to have this place. If it wasn't for this restaurant, I'm not sure my wife, friend, and I would've ever "gone out" in Apex. My friend, who's lived in Raleigh for many years, had never been to Apex until we dined here. The downtown area is small and quaint, what you'd expect of an old North Carolina town. The commercial part spans only a couple blocks. It's nice to walk around. Sushi Suyu shares a building and small parking lot with other businesses. The lot only has nine spaces. There is, however, plenty of free parking down adjacent Templeton St and around the corner, in the back, on Temple St. We parked for free in the public parking lot across the street, at N Salem St and Seaboard St, next to the fire station. We visited on a Monday around 6:15pm. The place was busy when we arrived. At one point, I think every table was taken and one or two parties had to wait. At the time of our visit, the restaurant catered to walk-ins and accepted a very limited number of reservations. We were walk-ins and were seated immediately. The restaurant isn't huge, but it's spacious enough. An outdoor, umbrella-covered, string-lit patio is available when weather permits. Inside, there's a small five-seat sushi bar in the back. The dining room is partitioned into a few different spaces. The interior design is simple and clean-looking. Tables are placed closely together. The atmosphere is casual. I found out about Sushi Suyu after seeing one of my Instagram friends' stories with the restaurant's "sushi ladder." "Sushi ladder" is how it was described to me. They're actually more like "sushi stairs." It's gimmicky, but it works for the business because it looks great on social media and draws new people in (like me). On the menu, it's called the Nigiri Moriawase (assorted nigiri) 10-piece chef's choice platter ($32). The 10 pieces I got were tuna, salmon, beet salmon, yellowtail, red snapper, amberjack, scallop, squid, surf clam, and eel. Surf clam was the only thing I didn't see on the regular menu. Unfortunately, I was underwhelmed with my 10-piece because it didn't look as good as the other platters I'd seen on Instagram and Yelp. First, my platter only had five steps instead of six or even 10. Yeah, I know, a trivial thing, but it's part of the fun of ordering this dish. More importantly, the pieces of nigiri I received weren't as high-quality as the ones I'd seen online. For example, most of the pieces I got were plain while the ones I'd seen online had been cut and/or dressed up in particular ways, with way more care and attention to detail. I'm fine with getting "plain" nigiri, but even these plain nigiri - such as the most basic kinds, like tuna and salmon - were simply cheaper quality. Finally, the accouterments I received were less than I expected. Online, I saw wasabi paste, pickled ginger, kizami wasabi, and lime or lemon. All I got was the standard wasabi paste and pickled ginger. Based on pictures I'd seen, including on Sushi Suyu's official Instagram page, I expected the nigiri to be higher-end, but what I actually received was more run-of-the-mill quality. Maybe the night of our visit, the B team was in or maybe the restaurant has changed to using cheaper-quality sushi, I don't know. Anyway, I don't mean to criticize too much. I still enjoyed it. For Apex, this is good. My wife and friend also enjoyed a variety of nigiri, which included a-la-carte orders (e.g., red snapper and amberjack, 2 pieces for $9) and the 6-piece chef's choice platter ($20). If you're wondering what "beet salmon" is, it's beetroot-cured salmon. I was told they cure it in-house. Other items we ordered included Truffle Salmon Carpaccio (seared salmon, fried onions, tobiko, truffle oil, soy mustard, apple aioli; $15), a Trio Plate (tuna, salmon, yellowtail, fried onions, tobiko, apple aioli, soy mustard; $18), Tempura Shrimp ($11) with assorted tempura vegetables, Sweet Spicy Edamame ($6), pan-fried pork Dumplings (6 for $9), a Spicy Tuna Classic Roll ($7), and a Hamachi Fever roll (shrimp tempura, avocado on the inside, seared yellowtail, microgreens, garlic chips, Sriracha aioli, sweet soy on top; $16). Overall, everything was tasty and beautifully presented. They generally do a nice job with the presentation here. Of these other items we ordered, my favorites were the Truffle Salmon Carpaccio and the Trio Plate, both of which were very similar. We also got a K-Pancake with Ice Cream ($9) for dessert. I highly recommend it. It was delicious. Our server was Jess and she was fantastic. Nolan was great too. Sushi Suyu opened in May 2022.

    Sashimi
    Brian L.

    Sushi Suyu is a very solid sushi place with great ambiance and service. The food comes out quickly and the fish tastes very fresh. Parking is a bit more difficult so you might need to look around downtown Apex to find a spot. Ordered the sashimi and two specialty rolls. The sashimi was great, the selection was pretty standard aside from the beet-infused salmon. It had a subtle citric taste which was very interesting and different from your normal salmon taste. The specialty rolls were good, but I needed to take the jalapeno off in order to fully taste the roll. I felt like the spice was overwhelming the taste of the other ingredients. Overall great spot to come out to for a nice meal, will be back to try out heir other rolls.

    Dynamite salmon, yellow pepper
    Julia W.

    Wow, Sushi Suyu was a wonderful experience. Attentive staff, chill but upscale ambiance, and terrific sushi. We ordered the 16 piece sashimi and two spicy rolls: Dynamite salmon and the yellow pepper roll. The sashimi was some of the freshest sashimi I've tasted here in NC, and beautifully plated. The rolls were unique and delicious -- I do recommend only ordering one spicy roll though, as the spice became a bit overpowering at times. Looking forward to coming back and trying more rolls!

    10pc moriawase - hard to say it is fresh for raw/minimally processed ones
    Helen C.

    Visited Sushi Suyu on a Wednesday night, hoping this would turn into another sushi gem in triangle area, but the quality was on disappointing side. 10pc moriawase got a catching presentation, but half of them was not good, maybe fair comparing to grocery store quality, just not I would expect from a restaurant - namely the complete raw or minimally processed ones, salmon, amber jack, yellowtail, red snapper and scallop. The tuna (akami) was the only raw fish sushi that tasted ok. Eel, seared squid, seared salmon, surf clam that were processed were good. Made me wonder if Wednesday was the last day before restocked. The experience may be better if they decided to processed all raw fish. I then decided to give it another try ordering the amaebi (sweet shrimp) and salmon roe...yuzu soy on amaebi was overpowering but it helped masked undesired taste; salmon roe tasted ok, not plump. Overall I would not go back for traditional sushi, maybe its rolls and other dishes are good. The restaurant sits in the nice downtown and its wasabi was freshly made. If one is not picky, it may be a good choice. They charge 3% credit card fee, not sure if this is a standard for dinning in triangle now.

    Dumplings
    Spri J.

    I have had better sushi. But I haven't had a better dessert at a sushi place. Let's backtrack. When I told the guys at Common Grounds I was heading out to Osha for sushi, they instead recommended I try the Asian fusion spot down the street. Always down for a new experience, I took the bait. Sushi restaurant with a Korean spin. As they close early to prepare for dinner, I high-tailed it. Per the website, they still accept guests 20 minutes before closing, fyi. The entrance is the door off Salem Street. I spoke with the hostess and server at length and they were really cool. It's an average enough interior with a clean restroom. I ordered the Bulgogi Lunch Box, with dumplings and the ice cream pancake for dessert. The wait was about ten minutes. The Lunch Box was alright; with tempura, rice and the "fire meat." As I said, I've had better sushi. Not gonna dog them, just pointing it out. And I never blame Asian restaurants for calling horseradish "wasabi," because the real stuff is hard to come by. I do, however, judge them for pink ginger. That's because you don't know what you're getting - color via the pickling or just plain dyed. I would rather not have to wonder. Suyu made me wonder. The dumplings were flavorful and delicious. Suyu has a limited duo of dessert options. As I've had mochi thousands of times, I ordered the ice cream pancake. Once again, their choices are very limited. AND, SO WHAT?!?! Holy cats! When you've got the pancake, you don't need other desserts! This was fantastic. With some kind of chocolate glaze inside the pastry, it was mouth-pleasing culinary genius. Always get it. Always ignore the mochi. Always win. A.

    This was my 2nd time at Sushi Suyu. I really enjoyed it both times. The service is great! There are plenty of sake, wine, and beer options! We ordered the salmon carpaccio. It was delicious! We also ordered the Sassy Girl roll and a bunch of different nigiris. I really liked the roll, my husband was not a fan. We were hoping to get a roll with scallops in them but didn't see any. The nigiris were good- some pieces were a little dry, but still good. There is outdoor seating which we'll probably check out next time we stop by.

    David S.

    Best Sushi in the Apex Cary area! I would recommend getting there early when it first opens because it does fill up quickly. The inside is not very big. Also, I would say to park by scratch kitchen because it's a bigger lot and a really short walk over. The service is amazing and it's one of the few sushi places that pack the rolls with fish. Two rolls is definitely a full meal. They also have amazing lunch specials! There is no BOGO like other places but they have WAY better quality here.

    Korean pancake dessert
    Jenny P.

    I'm not sure if it's a blessing or a tragedy how far Sushi Suyu is from me- I didn't realize it had been a whole year since I last had it! (so probably a tragedy D:) But kudos for being exactly how I remembered it; absolutely amazing. The entire experience is great from the service to the food. To be honest I sometimes feel out of place at fancy sushi joints, but def not here. The staff is all so wonderful, they make you feel welcome and comfortable; they're fun too! And of course the food is *chef's kiss* We ordered mainly rolls this time and wow talk about perfectly proportioned rolls; I want to try all of the options off the menu! They've created the best rolls in terms of texture, flavor pairings, rice to ingredients proportions, all around. Don't forget to leave room for dessert because the Korean pancake dessert is out of this world. It's perfectly flaky and crispy, paired with the cold creamy vanilla ice cream that creates a wonderful experience in your mouth that you'll be thinking about for awhile.

    Panko Soft-shell Crab
    Alanna V.

    Food: 4/5 Service: 5/5 Price: $$ I have visited Sushi SUYU twice with my family, originally from Dallas. During our 1st visit, we were astonished by how delicious the sushi was. Everything was so fresh, and the proportion of fish to rice was perfect. However, our 2nd visit was not like our first experience. The main difference was the sushi rice. It was semi-mushy and had a somewhat floral/sweet scent to it, which was very off-putting. We could not properly enjoy the nigiri or sushi rolls. In terms of food, we chose the following items over the course of 2 visits: * (2/5) Tuna Nacho It was decent but not memorable, especially considering the price. * (4/5) SUYU Trio We like the variety of fish used to top the rolls: tuna, salmon, yellowtail. The Japanese dressing goes well with it too. * (4/5) Road Trip Love the spice! It has spicy tuna inside and spicy salmon on top. * (5/5) Nigiri 10pcs We love the 10pcs nigiri staircase. It has an eye-catching presentation, and the fish has been consistently tasty. I would recommend it over the 6pcs nigiri. * (5/5) Panko Soft-shell Crab The crab is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. We enjoyed the variety of vegetable tempura that was included underneath. All fried well (not too heavily coated). * (4/5) Shrimp Tempura Roll It's just as good as other shrimp tempura rolls. * (5/5) Salmon Roll They don't skimp on the salmon used in the roll, which is why I bumped from a 4 to a 5. Much appreciated. Service is consistently attentive and quick. We will likely try again in the further future. Maybe our 2nd visit was a one-off experience.

    Do they serve wine - or just beer and sake?

    Yes, they do have wine. I believe the have specials on Wednesday also.

    Is there reservations or just walk-ins? I can't get a hold of the restaurant because it's closed for lunch on Saturdays.

    Thanks for reaching out. We do not take same day reservations on weekends. We also only take 1 reservation per hour so more than 90% of the tables are open for our walk in customers.

Not many places can compare to those experiences but Sushi Mon was VERY close!

A nice perk of this spot is that it's just a stone's throw away from free and plentiful lot parking. I'd make a reservation if you plan to come here on a weekend for dinner.

At the same time, it's not stuffy or overly fancy. The menu is comprehensive with Thai favorites like Pad Thai and Pad See Ew with a large number of Japanese and Sushi items on the back.

She was so kind and was the absolute best part of our visit. She gave a range recommendations, very professional, and made sure we had everything we needed to enjoy the meal.

Then, my son's food was not flavored well at all and had HAIR in his noodles! The Pad Thai was really bad! It was a lighter color first of all, so maybe they added an ingredient that isn't standard in traditional Pad Thai, but it did not make it better at all; I could barely stomach it. Then, there was a huge egg shell in the dish that somehow the cook let come out and served to us. The sweet and sour chicken portion was outrageously small for a dinner portion, and the dish was smothered with sauce but somehow the chicken was dry as if it was day old or several days old chicken. The cashew chicken, the same, dry chicken that was being covered up with the sauce and we had to chew a great deal. The sweet tea, it just tasted like they put a bunch of sugar packets in and was worse than a McDonald's sweet tea. Their white rice was not moist at all and we could've just done without it. Out of the sushi we ordered, the spicy tuna was good, but the rest was grocery store quality sushi and extremely small portion. In my opinion, people rave about this place because it is 'different' and plays into an upscale restaurant as you can see with their overpriced items. This place doesn't hold a candle to shopping center Thai fusion in California. I have lived in many states and am not a snotty Californian, but man oh man I can tell you this one is a fail. The only star for this visit goes to the waitress (she was a 5) but if I could give this a zero for the food, I would. Don't waste your time or money.

    My husband and I have been M Sushi now 3 times and ordered the grand each time. The service, food,…read morepresentation, and atmosphere is impeccable. We look forward to our reservation each and every time! It never disappoints.

    My view on sushi as a whole has completely changed...in an absolutely amazing way…read more Omakase Style: basically translates over as "I leave it up to you." The chef curates a multi course and highly personalized tasting menu. My wife and I had the pleasure to partake in this unbelievable experience for our 21st anniversary, and it was hands down one of the best meals we've ever had. 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.
