15 sushi, Chinese, Japanese, Korean and Thai restaurants inside Apex town limits, downtown, on East and West Williams Street, Creekside Landing and more.
Last checked Oct. 12, 2026. Refreshed every three months.
Apex’s Asian restaurants are spread across town, not in one district. West Williams Street has the largest group, with Chinese and Thai restaurants and Ramyun Zip, and East Williams Street has two sushi bars. Downtown has Sushi Suyu on Salem Street, and the centers at Creekside Landing, Broadstone Way and Lawnview Lane add sushi and Japanese kitchens.
How we made this list. The places come from OpenStreetMap records inside Apex’s town limits, the same data behind our local directory, checked against each place’s own website on Oct. 12, 2026. Where a place has no website we could find, it is listed because Wake County’s restaurant inspection data shows a permit at that Apex address; that is how we added Baan Thai, both China Chef restaurants, Ramyun Zip, Sora Sushi & Ramen, Taki Sushi and Wang’s Kitchen. This list covers East and Southeast Asian kitchens; Indian restaurants, bubble tea shops and Noodles & Company are not included. The list is alphabetical. It is not a ranking or a recommendation, and nobody paid to be on it. Run one of these places? Write to us to correct your entry.
