“I was not really in the mood for sushi, but a friend insisted. We started with cocktails. Perfection! We ordered two rolls to share as a starter. The Diablo roll and Saro were a magical combination of spicy and subtle. We then enjoyed an order of duck boa buns. The duck was tender and succulent, not too fatty. I ended with the city noodles with shrimp. Even though I was already pretty full, I couldn’t stop with the noodles! Comfort in a bowl is the only way to explain it. The balance of all the flavors coupled with fresh cilantro and green onions….so good!
Most importantly though was the whole vibe. We could actually hear each other talk and our waiter was so on point with the service. I came in feeling grumpy and I left feeling happy. Couldn’t ask for more!”

Left my CC on table by accident. Didn't discover the loss for two days. Waitstaff saved the card for me (and destroyed at my phoned request after I cancelled it.) There are honest people left in this world. Gracias, amigos!”

“We had an absolutely wonderful experience at Iza. We had fantastic crafted cocktails and an appetizer of crispy Brussels sprouts which were the best we had ever had. Two of us have some allergy restrictions and they could not have been more amenable to creating us delicious and allergy safe foods. They even brought us out a few specially created dishes that were truly the best we had ever tasted. The customer service is impeccable, from the bartender to our server, to the owners making our dining experience one we will remember! We will be coming back to Iza very soon and highly recommend!! Loved it!! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻”

I got the asada burrito 🌯 and it was delicious. The workers were super nice, greeted me with a smile, and there was even a cute kitty 🥰 outside that I’m assuming lives there.
Highly recommend.”

The people on the phone/at the front register are always so warm and friendly. The food itself is terrific! Cozy, hot, and filling, each bite bursting with flavor, and ready in almost no time.

Do take out and have enjoyed their Beef Low Mein, Moo Goo Gai Pan, Fried Chicken Wings, General Tso’s Chicken, Shrimp dishes, Hot and Sour soup. Every order has been correct and cooked perfectly, every single time!

This time I got the Sesame Chicken with pork fried rice and shrimp roll. That chicken was so tender and flavorful! It was even better the second day for leftovers.

The staff has always been friendly on the phone and in person. The restaurant is clean and well stocked.

Can’t say enough about China Wok. My favorite Chinese restaurant here in town.”

We have tried the cheese sticks (the small is very generous!), the Kickin Tarheel Pizza, the Sweet Carolina Pizza, the Greek Goddess pizza (pictured), and the Caprese pizza. The pizzas are always fresh with generous toppings and delicious crust. Give Aidan's a try - you're missing out otherwise!”

“Guy Fieri should put this place on Diners Drive-Ins & Dives. Don't let the strip mall storefront fool you. Nor the kids working the counter. I am an Italian & ex-patriot Brooklyn native & this is the closest thing to my Grandmother's Sunday dinner that I have ever found in North Carolina. The house salad was all romaine no iceburg. The balsamic vinaigrette tasted homemade. There were even artichoke hearts in it. The mozzarella seemed to be hand breaded. The marinara tasted like it had been on slow cook since dawn. The garlic knots were very real. The penne was al dente & they seemed to give me a whole box of it. There was fresh shaved romano & fresh basil on top. It was like going back in time to the old neighborhood. My Southern wife special ordered the cheese lasagna with pesto & they even accommodated that unusual request. We did not have the pizza but for an authentic Sunday dinner it's the real thing. I wish they were not sold out of tiramisu I'm sure it's great too. If eggplant parmesan was on the menu it would be even better. The portions were so big we took half of it home in a box. Fresh sunflowers on the outdoor tables a very nice touch too. MOLTO BENNE!”
