    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.

    Great bogo sushi deal got an assortment of 6 rolls for 4 people and it was more than enough - Also great tasting! Our server was nice and attentive and the restaurant is clean and classy. Definitely recommend to anyone looking for some good reasonably priced specialty rolls

    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!

    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.

Parking couldn't have been easier. We found a space right out front in the lot off 9th Street and walked straight in. It was a quiet Thursday afternoon, so we were seated immediately. The dining room has an elegant, relaxed feel, and with only a few other diners it made for a peaceful lunch. Lunch for two came to about $80 plus tax and tip, making this one of the more upscale lunches we've had recently. We ordered: * Crispy Brussels Sprouts * Shrimp Dumplings (6) * Mongolian Beef * Grilled Lemongrass Hanger Steak Salad * Unsweetened iced tea The Food The Crispy Brussels Sprouts were a great start. They were crisp on the outside without being overcooked, and the mint, peanuts, and pickled onions added both texture and freshness. It was also a large enough portion for leftovers. The Shrimp Dumplings were excellent. The flavor was outstanding, and the Thai chili oil, garlic, scallions, and sesame worked beautifully together. My only criticism was the portion size. At six small dumplings, they felt a little pricey for what you receive. The Mongolian Beef was probably the best value of the meal. The beef had a nice sear while remaining tender inside, and the portion was generous enough that we had leftovers for another meal. It had a nice overall flavor as well. The Grilled Lemongrass Hanger Steak Salad was good, but not quite at the same level. The steak had good flavor, but the cut itself was somewhat chewy. The accompanying rice was simply prepared and didn't add much to the dish. The flavors were enjoyable, although slightly sweeter than my wife prefers. Service Service was excellent. Our server took the time to walk us through each dish, explaining ingredients, spice levels, and preparation so we could choose items that fit our tastes. We especially appreciated her knowledge of the menu and her attentiveness throughout the meal, my iced tea was never empty. Overall Juju offers an attractive setting, excellent service, and several very well-executed dishes. Our biggest challenge was simply that much of the lunch menu leans toward spicier offerings than we typically enjoy. While we probably wouldn't return specifically for lunch, the dinner menu appears to offer a much wider variety of choices that fit our tastes. We'll likely be back to give dinner a try.

    Wow, I was so surprised after trying Brewery Bhavana when we first moved here. When you arrive…read moreparking can be difficult in this area as the restaurant backs up to Moore Square. I'd recommend parking a few blocks away and walking if you are unable to find parking nearby. Walking into the restaurant you'll be transported to a modern brewery, bookstore, and flower shop. It feels chic, Belgian inspired, and upscale. To start I ordered a Vase IPA which was excellent. I then switched to cocktails and ordered the Black Sesame Old Fashioned (bourbon, black sesame, black walnut bitters), the Dionysus (pinot noir, raspberry lemon shrub, chambord, amaretto, lemon, rhubarb bitters), and an aviation (hendricks, luxardo, creme de violette, lemon). By far the Black Sesame Old Fashioned was my favorite and what a nice touch with cracker on top of the dish. For food we ordered the Gai Lan (Stir-fried Chinese broccoli with garlic and oyster sauce), the Peking Duck (Whole, barbecued, free-range duck served with steamed bao buns, cucumber, scallions, and hoisin-honey sauce), Sweet Soy Chicken (Scallions, bell peppers, and caramelized in our ginger soy sauce. Served with jasmine rice), the Lo Mein Noodles (Stir-fried noodles with julienned shiitake mushrooms, choy sum greens, soy sauce, and shrimp), seafood dumplings (Lobster, shrimp, and scallop dumplings served in garlic and black mushroom sauce with fried Youtiao doughnuts), Chicken Curry Bao (Steamed buns filled with spicy yellow chicken and vegetable curry), the Beef with Longhorn Peopers (Sautéed beef, ginger, and longhorn peppers with Shaoxing wine sauce. Served with jasmine rice), the Xiao Long Bao (Steamed crab and ground pork soup dumplings), Nasi Goreng Crab Fried Rice (Traditional Indonesian Chinese fried rice with blue crab meat, Nam Pla fish sauce, house made Nasi Goreng sauce, served in an egg crêpe), and the General Tso's Chicken (Crunchy, sweet, and tangy, Bhavana's General Tso comes with your choice of chicken or tofu tossed in our house-made General sauce and topped with sesame seeds. Served with jasmine rice). By far our favorite food items were the seafood dumplings (excellent flavor, Chinese donuts were so good, along with the flavor from the broth), and the shrimp lo mein noodles (cooked perfectly and the sauce was perfectly distributed). Definitely check out brewery bhavana if you are looking for excellent Chinese food in the Raleigh area. This is by far one of my favorite restaurants in the area.

Well, I finally got to try Brewery Bhavana and it was indeed incredible. Definitely worth the hype. We met my coworker and her partner here for dinner, and I was grateful we had a reservation because this spot was poppin' on a Monday night! The dining room is huge, but the decor breaks things up a bit and makes your meal feel intimate. Everything is shareable, so I highly recommend visiting with fellow foodies who want to try a little bit of everything. Honestly the entire menu sounded amazing, and it was hard to choose! Thankfully our servers provided some excellent recommendations. The Pork Bao was probably my favorite bite of the night, and may very well have been the best Bao I've ever had. The Lap Cheung Fried Rice was also delicious, and I'm usually not a fried rice person! Also worth mentioning is the Lo Mein, which we ordered with chicken. We didn't stay for dessert, but all of their sweet offerings sounded incredible as well. I did try one of the beers they brew on-site, the Sow. It was light and sippable, and I appreciate their diverse beer and cocktail offerings. I can't wait to visit Raleigh again because this will be my first stop!

We came in with some friends on a Monday to celebrate a birthday. My friend has a gluten and dairy allergy, which was actually no problem here. So if that is a dietary concern for you or a loved one - this is a great spot to bring them! We were all able to enjoy a majority of the food. My partner and I both enjoyed a mocktail version of the roselle freezy - it was amazing! Either as a mocktail or a cocktail, you should try this drink. For starters, we had the crispy chicken wings, spring rolls with veggies, and the lettuce wraps. We all enjoyed the chicken wings so much that we got a second order of them. I enjoyed the spring rolls much more than the lettuce wraps as they had more flavor to them. For dinner, we shared an order of the Manda Amphone's Curry and the chicken pad thai. I originally did not expect to be blown away by the pad thai - boy, was I wrong. This is hands down the best pad thai I have ever had. If you love pad thai, you need to try theirs. I also thoroughly enjoyed the curry. Both dishes were rich and flavorful and came with enough to share between 4 adults. Overall, not having been to Bida Manda in 10+ years, I was impressed and will definitely return.

However, we were utterly disappointed with our food there. The bao buns had a tender pork in it but the only sauce it included was hoisin which made it too salty. The Korean fried chicken in the 'Spicy' flavor was flavorless. The sauce was extremely bland alongside the chicken meat inside. Don't let the red bright color deceive you, we kept wondering when the 'spice' would kick it (it never did!). We each got a curry udon and added chicken to it. As frequent curry eaters, we wanted the Asian flavors we enjoy however, this udon was bland as well. The chicken we asked to be added felt like it was just chopped and put over the udon with no actual flavor integration into the dish. We left this place feeling like it was a waste of our money. Given their higher prices, I would've expected something A LOT better with some real Asian flavors.
