    Florida and Daddy's girl rolls
    Eric L.

    Non-descript looking place in a strip mall, but the food is good. Lettuce wraps were very tasty, served with very fresh lettuce. Florida and Daddy's girl rolls were both excellent, very flavorful, and attractively plated. Service was very good.

    Pepper with no steak , Thanks Sushi Iwa !

    Everytime I order from Sushi Iowa there is something missing in the bag and there is a big taste difference. I stopped going because I asked the lady after driving an hour if my items where in the bag and she said yes , the order was 75 dollars and when I got home I called and they where like thanks for driving and hour here is 10 dollars for your inconvenience. Basically laughing.

    I dined at Sushi Iwa in Clayton a few weeks ago. I was looking for a new/closer sushi spot and came across this while doing some research. The reviews are surely conflicting; I really wish Yelp would allow 3.5 stars but I went with 3 for now. Sushi Iwa is located in a shopping center and is very no frills. The atmosphere is very low key and casual. I loved the music choice and it wasn't too loud. I sat at the bar and the man working behind the bar as well as my server were both incredibly friendly. I started with a glass of wine and water; they have decent wine and drink options which was nice. I noticed a few things about the menu binders, whilst they feel a bit dirty and seemed like they have been through the ringer, I truly appreciate the photos for each dish and sushi roll; this is always so helpful! There are many menu items and I tried a few, as I love trying numerous options at a new spot! I started with the Miso soup & summer rolls; the soup was perfect and rolls were very fresh and yummy! I will say, they should probably add one more piece of shrimp as the shrimp is slightly thin/small, and the actual roll is huge and stuffed with the veggies/noodles. Very good though. Typically these are served with a peanut type sauce and when asked for that, I was provided a side of actual peanut butter, which was a bit odd. However, I mixed yet another sauce (the sauce they use for the gyoza) with the peanut butter to make it myself and it was good! I then opted for a side of the Lo Mein noodles as I love some Lo Mein. This was a huge side so I ended taking most of it home. Nothing fancy, just noodles but still yummy! For my two rolls, they were also huge but pretty good. I ended up giving the rest to my husband when I got home, which was most of each roll. They have BOGO rolls so you can't quite just get one! They have a LOT of rolls. I couldn't recall the two I ordered but I did post them below. I would recommend this spot for a no frills/decent sushi spot/experience!

    Let me start by saying we always come here the food is always excellent and fresh. The restaurant is always clean. It is Wednesday, and they close at 9:30pm. We walked in at 8:58ish. We always get the exact same meal so we knew we would be quick to order and not drag ass and there was only 4 other people in the restaurant at this time (basically empty). We were seated but then told by our nice waitress that the manager Asian man had asked her to tell us that next time we needed to come in before 9pm or we may not be seated. I immediately stated that there isn't anything on the door that says that, and if that's a rule they have they should post it on the front of the door, she agreed with me and took our order anyways. Also we had a newborn baby with us, who was asleep the whole time. We tidied up our table for them, stacked all the dishes, wiped the table with a wipe and even paid our bill all before 9:25pm. I write this to say shame on the manager for making a waitress tell us that. That is something a manager should atleast say to the customer. And It's not like we walked in at 9:20. We immediately ordered and immediately left before 9:30 anyways. I feel like we were kind of singled out because we had a baby with us, and probably thought we would take a long time or she would be loud. Disappointed this time, but with the manager only. Don't be so uptight next time. And for a manager that is so concerned about closing on time, you left the open sign on after closing time.

    This sushi is delicious and it's BOGO on all rolls on the menu, hard to beat that! The prices are a little bit more expensive, probably to make up for the BOGO but they aren't outrageous, they range from $16-$25 per roll. My friend and I went for a Sunday lunch and everything was great. It was nice and quiet, with a few tables filled. I ordered the Loren's roll and the Oh Happy while my friend ordered the Crunchy and an order of pad Thai. We had also ordered the edamame which never arrived but was taken off of our bill once we let our server know. The rolls came out super quickly and the pad Thai followed shortly after. I will definitely be back to try more of their rolls and their hibachi I was looking at on the menu as well.

    My youngest and I came on a Saturday and it was starting to get busy. Most of the people waiting were Door Dashers and others had call in orders. We were seated within 5-7 minutes and that was because I opted to wait for a booth. Our server was attentive and helpful with any questions I had about the menu. They offer BoGo sushi which is always a plus in my book! My son ordered from the kids menu ( chicken lo mein) which was way more than enough for him and i to share. I ordered the American Dream and Sexy Girls specialty roll, and pad Thai, which comes with soup or salad, I chose hot and sour soup. The soup came out rather quickly and was flavorful. I have a habit to let servers know if my son's food is ready before mine, feel free to bring it out first. When she bought his food out I honestly thought I had ordered something else because it was a lot of food for it to be a kids meal. He didn't waste time enjoying it and I was able to grab a few noodles to taste and everything was good and hot. My sushi came out soon after and it did not disappoint at all. If not mistaken I believe it was about 8 rolls each. Needless to say when my main course came out I didn't even touch it bc I was absolutely full! Between the soup and sushi I had plenty. Everything was fresh and made to order. You can actually dine at the sushi bar and watch them make it in front of you. The only reason why I didn't give them 5 stars was because the cell service in the building was horrible! I had a few phone calls that every other word was scrambled, we couldn't get on the internet and I couldn't call out even with showing 3 bars on my phone. I honestly thought it was my service bc they are a hit and miss sometimes but I asked one of the servers and they mentioned it was the building itself. Service is not good at all in there. Overall the food was delicious and we now have a go to for our bogo sushi.

    This is what I ordered.

    We ordered two Crazy Rolls, which were packaged in the same container. Why not separately? We also ordered The Korean BBQ Spare ribs. I wasn't impressed with the service, presentation of the sushi and there wasn't much here to rate above a 3 star. The sushi didn't taste fresh, and it was falling apart. Very hard to eat and enjoy it because of how it was packaged for to go. What I ordered looked amazing on the menu, but it was a different thought and taste after opening and consuming. The Korean BBQ Spare ribs are what we enjoyed the most. Besides that, there isn't much more here.

    Great sushi restaurant in Clayton. I moved to Clayton over the summer from Raleigh and knew I had to find a good sushi restaurant. Obviously I moved during the COVID when many places were only doing takeout so I haven't eaten inside the restaurant. It's located conveniently on Highway 70 in a shopping center that has many other businesses and restaurants (it's near the Lowes' Foods). Like many other sushi restaurants, Sushi Iwa offers BOGO sushi. There's a large variety of sushi rolls to choose from. They have an app that you can use to order and I love it! I always use the app. It's helpful and convenient and you can pay ahead for your order. As a side-note, when ordering 2 sushi rolls for BOGO you will need to initially choose the more expensive roll and then choose the cheaper roll in the options when you order if you are ordering rolls that have different prices. When you order off the app you receive a confirmation email that tells you an approximate time that your order will be ready. The first time ordering, my time was changed and I received an update email of the time change which was helpful as well. When you arrive just tell them your name and they'll bring your order. The restaurant itself is not big, but has a nice bar area and tables/booths around the restaurant. The sushi was delicious! I've also had the lettuce wraps and edamame which were also good and great portion sizes! The price is reasonable for the quality and quantity as well. I haven't tried the other menu items, but I plan to! I highly recommend checking it out!

    Red Curry with Tofu and brown rice

    First time in Clayton and wanted Asian food. hubby wanted sushi but I wanted Thai. Found this place! They have a large menu with Korean, Thai, Japanese and Chinese. Something for all taste buds. Daughter order Kimchi Udon soup with Tofu and Veggies. I ordered Red Curry with Tofu and brown rice, hubby order Sushi and Sashimi lunch combo. Great portion size. They were busy, so service took a bit longer than normal but the server was very friendly and warm.

    Do you have a dragon roll?

    Only the Apex location carries the Dragon Roll.

    Is the pho here good?

    The pho is good. Not as spectacular as in DC or other major city restaurants but if you live in clayton, you'll appreciate it.

Walking into the Khao Sen you'll feel like you've walked into a warm, intentional, and stylish restaurant. To be seated you'll first check in with the host and then be shown to your table. For drinks we ordered the mango passion fizz (mango, passion fruit, club soda) and the strawberry rose limeade (strawberry, rose, lime, club soda). Both looked nice presentation wise, but would definitely lean towards the mango passion fizz for the overall balance of flavors. For our appetizer we ordered a taste of all (vegetable gyoza, crispy krab sticks, crispy spring rolls, fried tofu, spicy chicken wings with side of each sweet chili sauce and sweet soy sauce) to be able to try most of the appetizers. Overall I would opt for the spicy chicken wings and pass on the other items. All of the appetizers were good but the spicy chicken wings were fried perfectly and had a great balance of spice/flavor. For entrees we ordered the Khao Soi (Northern Thai-style curry, egg noodles, crispy egg noodles, cilantro, scallion, pickled radish, shallots, lime) with chicken. The flavors were excellent and the chicken thigh was cooked to perfection. Almost if the chicken thigh was boiled or sous vide where it fell apart. We also ordered the Khao Pad (fried rice, egg, onion, Chinese broccoli, tomato, garlic, cucumber, cilantro, scallion) with sweet sausage which I wasn't sure if I would like but turned out to be excellent. The sweet sausage along with the flavors of the rice, broccoli, sweet onion, and egg made this dish one of my favorites. We were so full we couldn't make it to dessert but I heard the Thai Donuts with the Thai tea custard are excellent. If you are in the Fuquay-Varina area and are looking for good Thai food I definitely recommend stopping by Khao Sen. Looking forward to visiting again soon to try the other dishes.

Apparently this place used to be Dos Perros, and the logo is still in the glass Inside you immediately walk into the front bar area and hostess stand. They were busy so it took a while for someone to address us. We grabbed a high top in the bar area. They have like a dozen AC units throughout the dining space, so temperature control was a priority. (Appreciated). Food wise we grabbed the calamari, some spicy wings and some steamed dumplings to start. Dumplings were decent. Calamari was pale and could have been fried harder. Also, it was a weird cut....long flat pieces instead of the circular cuts I'm used to. My kids loved it, but def not the best I've had. The wing sauce was a highlight. We asked for hot, but as a table if west Indian people, the heat level was mild. The wings were also slightly less done than I like. They were drowning in a plate of sauce though. I'm wishing i would have taken the sauce to go and refired some wings at home and put em under the broiler so the sauce would have caramelized on the meat. They had all the elements, but that would have def improved the flavor and texture there. For entrees, we got a Chicken Pad Thai (my son called it a spiritual experience) , two orders of pad see ew with crispy tofu and one Drunken Noodle with Pork. I didn't taste the pad Thai so can't cosign my son's review. The sauce on the pad see ew was the highlight. The tofu was under done (not crispy), and the Drunken noodles were decent. For the Triangle, this was great Thai. Comparing to all the other Thai I've had in life, this was ok. But if they want to seel their sauces on the side, I would def grab some of those and chef it up at home. Staff was friendly and attentive. Felt like family owned - no pretense, just helpful people.
