Iza was lovely for dinner! My partner and I were served by Laif, who was great. He attended to our every need and made our experience so enjoyable! Food and drinks were excellent, we had an amazing time.

Overall, had a decent experience at Iza.
There was a miscommunication between the servers that caused us to sit for about 10 minutes before anyone came to our table. After that, service was great.
Food was good, not great. With the exception of the 007 roll which was fantastic.
We won’t be seeking out a return trip to the restaurant, but would come back if craving sushi and need an easy place to go.

Food. Amazing. Service amazing. Reece. Leif. And Riley. Top tier. Buy them shift beers.
Would be a 5 star review but the music didn't match the vibe.

The restaurant could use a dedicated host, being a Friday night they were slammed and the servers were having to multitask between seating people, to go orders and serving. It took over an hour for us to get our food after being seated, the server did a good job of keeping us informed and did well. Despite the wait the food was good. They seemed understaffed and could do better if they had more people on the weekends.

Chef Yung is one the best. He goes out of way to make the dishes exceptional and he's so kind & welcoming. The food is absolutely sensational. Service impeccable. The restaurant is kind of small so I recommend making a reservation ahead of time but you absolutely won't regret it.

The food was great. Alex, our server, forgot about our table. He never brought out our water or forks. We waited so long for our check, and at the end, I went to the bar to pay, only to see Alex was eating in the kitchen. The bartender was helpful, but I know he can only do so much. I honestly didn’t even want to tip Alex; he did the bare minimum.
Service was impeccable! This will definitely be one of my go to restaurants from now on. Food was amazing! Carolina Roll is a great fusion of flavors, especially with the jalapeño! Wine recommendations are also superb. Great service from Claire and Will, so excited to return.

Yung & his incredible staff just gave us the best impromptu experience. ❤️ When I tell you that we have had omakase all over the world- I am not exaggerating and this was one of the best. The seared salmon sushi with the truffle butter ponzu...bury me in it and call it a day! Presentation, personality, service...A++++. Don't miss out!

So disappointed :( They forgot our table (technically twice since they didn’t bring waters or take our drink order for 20 minutes) so we waited for an extra hour for food. They took 50% off the bill which would’ve been great; however, my boyfriend and I got food poisoning.

Great food and awesome service. Came with my wife and sushi-lover-daughter for dinner while dropping her off for college. My wife is gluten free so they made a special roll just for her while my daughter and i shared 3 specialty rolls all of which were amazing. I had a whiskey sour with a Japanese whisky which was also terrific. Highly recommend.

Outstanding Sushi & Atmosphere
Iza is a true gem. The sushi is exceptional: fresh, beautifully prepared, and full of bold, balanced flavors. Each roll is plated like artwork, with vibrant colors and creative touches that make every bite memorable.
The atmosphere is modern, stylish, and relaxed, making it the perfect spot to enjoy amazing sushi with friends or family. Carrboro is lucky to have this place: an absolute must for sushi lovers.
Great spot. Bartender amazing!!
