This place is fantastic because the endless amount of rolls they have and the BOGO sushi deal but I have to give it 4 stars because of other items I tried. I absolutely love beef short ribs but the ones from here tasted soggy and very moist. I think they should've been cooked more. The calamari was also overly breaded and fried, it just tasted really baked and it was hard to tell it was calamari unlike places where you can really taste the inside. The pad thai was good but not great! It could've been more flavorful and I feel like you can even tell from the picture that it was not super amazing. However the general tso's chicken plate was great and so was the rice so I would assume all the other chicken and rice dishes will be good as well. The sushi was delicious as always and I would definitely recommend both rolls I got which was a total of $16.95 as part of the buy one get one free deal. I'll probably only stick to sushi from here from here on out but the place is great nonetheless. 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. I am not the biggest fan of their hot food as their sushi is the best part. Go for the sushi for sure! The sushi boat are super fun and a great deal. read more

Wow just wow! This place is the best! The food was amazing and delicious. I can tell you that we did not leave a single little bit of sushi. And we got our food in under 5 minutes (it was a Friday night and it was not busy) the waitress was super friendly. And they were playing country music! Now tell me what kind of amazing sushi place doesn't play country music!!! read more

Would not recommend getting the ramen. The broth and noodles were good however you had the choice to do no chicken or anything really on it which is what I got except chose to get chicken and pork. So they are definitely additives to the ramen. The chicken was horrible. Honestly not edible.The broth was mediocre and tasted better after adding soy sauce. had to pick out all my chicken to enjoy the ramen. read more

Sushi Iwa - RAMEN - Asian Fusion Near Me - Apex, North Carolina

food was tasty and fresh. The buy one get one is always a great deal and the speciality rolls are huge.

Food is Ok. Service was fast and responsive. Ambiance is good. I'd give local 3.5 stars but not 4. Have tried other sushi restaurants that are better in the area. However in fairness it is not bad. Ingredients are fresh, and generous portions and flavors are OK. Good selection of drinks. They could pay better attention to sushi rice, which seemed low quality and undercooked. Good variety of products and plates- maybe too broad and therefore less specialized? Location is great and it certainly seems to get a good share of traffic. Bogo makes price affordable- so I suppose you get what you pay. read more

Didn't take any food pictures of this take out order. Visiting with my son and daughter-in-love with a new baby and a 21-month old. We ordered 6 sets of sushi rolls since they were buy one get one free. Nice assortment. My favorite was the Florida Roll. Not sure what they all ordered for entrees. The daughter-in-love really likes the Vegetable Tempura. I ordered the Green Curry with jasmine rice. I also had a green salad with ginger dressing. I had enough Green Curry and rice for lunch the next day. And it was even better the second time around -just enough heat to be delicious and clear out the sinuses. Definitely would get it again. But since they have such a varied menu I would love to try something new. Worth a visit or takeout. read more

Stopped here to get Sushi boat for 2 for ~$50. It tastes absolutely poor for the price. I feel like they don't love Sushi as they put them in ugly food containers. read more

I'm literally in this restaurant right now. Greeter stood with his back to us for about 2 min before I had to say something. Then he just walked away lmfao. Service has been pretty terrible. Still waiting for my wife's food. Should be noted that my son's came out about 30 min ago. Mine came out about 5 min ago lol. Just a pathetic experience all around. I'm sure every place has rough days, but the restaurant CULTURE of this place is off. Just awful awful service. read more

As a person who lived in Japan for several years, I'm pretty fussy about my Japanese food, especially sushi. I've been going to this restaurant for well over five years, probably closer to 10 years, and I've never walked out of there feeling like it was five star! For a couple of years, the presentation of the sushi was nothing More than poor at best. I've had sushi rolls delivered to me that weren't cut all the way through, I've had sushi and sushi rolls delivered that fell apart upon human contact, and it's just been baffling to me until I realized that the vast majority of the staff behind the counter are Mexican, not Japanese! I will say the service is always good and the manager is a great guy that always is making the rounds checking on people, but the place is so up and down and unfortunately, the nearest sushi is nowhere near Apex, so I'm kind of stuck with the place read more

This place was packed during lunchtime on a Sunday, luckily we didn't have to wait long. My mom and I both started off with a draft beer, they had a few good craft options available, and an order of crab rangoon. For food it was the panang curry (with onions instead of green beans) with a salad for me, the ginger chicken with a salad for my husband and two sushi rolls for my mom. The specialty rolls are expensive but were BOGO. We all enjoyed our meals. Sushi Iwa is worth checking out if you are craving Thai or sushi. read more

Nice unassuming place with great sushi and good food. We had dinner here on a Saturday night and thee place was packed. There is a full bar on the left to the entrance and good number of seating otherwise as well. The overall vibe of the place is good and the service did not disappoint as well. We started off with few sushi rolls (California, daddy's girl, hot mama and tarantula waSp). They had a buy 1 get 1 free offer on a sushi even on Saturday nights which is great! The sake we ordered was really nice too. For the main course, we tried chicken jalapeño, Thai chicken ginger, Panang curry and chicken fried rice. The food was really good and to the point except the fried rice, which was pretty bland and disappointing. Each of the main dish came up with an option of soup (miso or hot and sour) or house salad. We took the soup and it was really nice. The service really stood out and our servers were very prompt and friendly. Overall we enjoyed the time here! read more

one of the best bogo sushi restaurants! its good every time i go and the spring rolls are really good

Terrible place to go - got some take out and the sushi smelled like old smelly fish! Not good. Another time I was going to go there and come to find out they ran out of rice!? Who does that?! Sad because they are so close to my house. read more

I cannot ever remember being disappointed. We have gone when it wasn't quite up to par but that's been rare. They usually bounce back quickly. Maybe a bad day? In any case, we lived about 3 miles from it when it opened and frequented there. Great sushi and service. Even though we don't live in the area anymore we still make it a point to go in once or twice and eat their great sushi. read more

One of your typical go to sushi spots where take-out or dine in are consistent. The ambiance is on and can be loud at times. The service is so-so, hit or miss with the staff. Food is above average but I've never tried anything other than the sushi. read more

Love this place and love the sushi. They have so many choices, they use fresh quality ingredients and the wait staff is always so pleasant and efficient.

Each one is better than the one before. I'll keep coming back. read more

Sushi is delicious and the buy one get one free deal is a steal, especially the tuna rolls. Only thing is I'm still kinda confused about whether or not you have to order the same item to get the BOGO, but regardless super high quality sushi and they are very generous with the fish. read more

The staff was lovely and the names of the rolls gave me a good giggle but I was hopeful for more. It wasn't good nor bad just meh and not worth going back. read more

Went to the restaurant with friends excited because I've gone before. Received my soda and it was pure syrup, asked for a different one and it was the same. Ordered white rice and got fried Rice. The chicken was too tough to chew and had to spit some out. read more

Really good sushi, they have great chefs who know how to make a wide range of sushi rolls. They're often busy and it makes sense as to why, buy one get one deal every day? Tough to beat when the sushi is reasonably priced and tastes great! The only reason I'm giving 4 stars instead of five is the consistency. I've been going here for over a year and the first time I ordered the Fantasy eel I actually cried cause how good it was. Ever since then, it doesn't taste nearly as good as the first time. It's prepared and seasoned well, but the texture turns mushy whereas before it has a great balance of crisp and soft texture. Regardless, I'd still recommend!! read more

I love Sushi Iwa! I've been coming here for a few years and the food is great every time! The sushi rolls, Thai dishes, apps.. all so delicious, flavorful, and great portion sizes. They have soooo many sushi rolls to choose from, and I love how they put pictures next to the rolls so you know what you're getting! The whole menu is huge, so anyone can find something delicious on there! read more

This is one of my favorite, go-to Sushi spots in the area. This is one place that i've frequented many times because of their amazing quality of food and their prices are really reasonable as well! Another huge bonus is that they offer a BOGO on all their specialty rolls, and whatever roll is less, is the free one. (NOTE: this does not work if you order through grubhub). I've ordered so many dishes from there, however the dishes that stands out the most for me, based on cost, presentation and quality are the following (this is based on eating in (pre-covid), as well as dining out (during covid). Shrimp & Vegetable tempura. This dish gives you 3 nice sized shrimps, and 5 pieces of vegetable. Not overly fried, and no overpowering on the oil. Battered just right and fried perfectly. Collosseum - a tower containing sushi rice, spicy tuna, avocado, shrimp, crab, cavier, tempura flakes, spicy mayo, eel sauce, which is all stacked on top of each other. In the restaurant, its a great dish, however in takeout, they put it in a solo cup and pile the items on top of each there, so when you take it out, it is in reverse order :( The sushi boat for two is amazing!! it contains 18 random pieces of Nigiri (chef's choice) AND any 2 specialty rolls for $43...With this dish, I get one my favorite specialty roll - Sushi Iwa White tuna, tempura flakes, jalapeno and avocado topped with tuna, salmon, yellow tail, avocado and drizzled with a sweet citrus sauce. My 2nd roll I typically get will vary, as I've had most of the rolls. Another favorite of mine is the Rock N roll, which contains salmon, avocado, tempura flakes, spicy mayo, topped with salmon, jalapeno and drizzled with a wasabi sauce. Overall, the food is here is pretty good, and i have yet to find a sushi place that is better at this price point. Until then, I will continue to frequent this place and continue to enjoy all of their various cuisines. read more

Prices are high, but the food is consistently good! We like the rolls (BOGO) and pineapple fried rice. We mostly order take-out, so I can't judge service. I can say their online ordering takes way more time than expected and is cumbersome. Glad this place exists. Will continue to return. Give it a try! read more

The only sushi restaurant we'll eat at in the Triangle area! The menu is incredible, and the sushi is even better.

Wonderful as always. No mushrooms and hardly and veggies in the Tom Yum? Best broth as usual but a little sad.

The best sushi and Thai curry I have ever had. The people there are so helpful and professional. I have eaten Sushi Iwa so many times, I had to leave a review. read more

My friend and I came to Sushi Iwa in a bit of a hurry since we had to be somewhere else in 40 minutes. Luckily, we told our waiter and he told us which sushi rolls would take longer to make, so we knew what we should and shouldn't order. Service was super quick! I like that they have BOGO sushi deals, pictures in their menu, and plenty of other entree options if you aren't feeling like having sushi. The portions for each roll were a bit small though, so the BOGO deal makes a lot of sense. I tried their Eelicious roll (shrimp, crab, orange caviar, grilled eel, cucumber, avocado, and sweet chili sauce) and their La Fiesta roll (black rice, tuna, salmon, fish roe, and scallion). They were both beautiful and delicious! read more

Different than other places in terms of taste. Not the best sushi I had but it was Ok. It felt like premade which I can totally agree with based on the number of people flowing into the restaurant.

Always great and consistent! The sushi is the best in the triangle in my opinion. Fast service and friendly staff

Love the sushi, the staff and drinks. It's always a favorite when I'm in the area. Definitely a must try!

When I see BOGO sushi, I know exactly what to expect. A large menu of highly Americanized sushi rolls, a menu stacked with offerings like shrimp, eel, tuna, salmon, tempura, spicy mayo, cream cheese, and avocado. And yes that is exactly what you get at Sushi Iwa. When I'm in the mood for a roll like this, it totally hits the spot. You get BOGO even for takeout, and you can order/pay ahead online so picking up food is a breeze. I cannot eat shrimp which unfortunately rules out a lot of rolls, but my go-tos include the Special Salmon, Fantasy Eel, Spider Roll, Volcano Roll, and Green Roll. I also love to get the chicken lettuce wraps here as a side. Not only delicious but also great portion size. Note: You don't seem to get the BOGO deal when ordering via Grubhub and the like. read more

The shade y'all. If you check out my reviews I tend to err on the positive side. Not a chance here. They overcharge for what you get and what we got was hastily prepared with a lot of filler vegetables. Let me explain. I'm vegan and went with the tofu teriyaki and vegetable tempura. My family got chicken lo mein, hibachi chicken, and sushi. The tofu Teriyaki was bell peppers and onions filled to the brim with soggy tofu, not teriyaki and everything was swimming in the juice the vegetables produced. This was the same for the hibachi chicken, a few pieces of chicken and ton of bell peppers and onions. Chicken lo mein was noodles and chicken as my kid prefers, but again, just a few pieces of chicken. Ratios all the way off!! The vegetable tempura may as well have been fries and onion rings. There were only onions and potato. And the sauce for this dish was spilled in the to go box because the top was melted from putting the veggies straight from the grease to the container. The extra star comes from the sushi that my partner got that she says was legit and would order again BUT we did notice the sky high prices of the sushi disguised under BOGO and we are NOT a price sensitive family. She was also charged for an extra white sauce for the hibachi chicken. I get if I'm trying to take a tub home to save for later but don't charge me for an extra sauce that comes with a dish I ordered. With all this said, I'd be open to dining in and specifying how I want my food especially since my partner enjoyed her sushi. The ingredients are fresh, there is SO much potential. read more
