If you're looking for delicious hibachi and sushi in downtown Indianapolis, I highly recommend Isuka Hibachi Express and Sushi. The food is always fresh, flavorful, and generously portioned. Their hibachi chicken and steak are perfectly seasoned, and the fried rice is some of the best I've had in Indy. The sushi rolls are creative, fresh, and beautifully prepared as well. What really makes this place stand out is the friendly staff and fast service. Everyone is welcoming, attentive, and makes you feel appreciated from the moment you walk in. Whether you're craving hibachi, sushi, or just a great Japanese meal downtown, this spot consistently delivers quality food and a great experience. I'll definitely keep coming back! read more

A cozy mom and pop shop vibe somewhat downtown. You seat yourself coming in. Our servers were great. I ordered chicken yakisoba which tasted nothing like yakisoba at all. It tasted like chicken teriyaki noodles. I also ordered crab ragoons which were great and a shrimp tempura roll. The roll had a lot of sauce on top which made it more sweet than savory. My coworker enjoyed her fried rice and I snuck a bite and agree it was yummy! Overall I'd say it was good, not great. read more

To start off, the food was good (I had the miso soup and spicy spider roll). the service was not the best. And the interior was pretty mediocre and bland. read more

I was craving Hibachi and ended up ordering take out from a place near by- Isuka! The order was ready when I arrived 15 minutes later and I was really impressed with the portion size and sauces! The restaurant was empty at around 5pm on a Tuesday, when I entered but I was warmly greeted. The restaurant seemed to have two sides to eat on and was clean. The food was absolutely delicious! Steak was tender and the rice was cooked the way I like it. I would bring friends here to eat again! read more

Great place all around! Funny enough, the first thing I want to tell you about is the bathrooms. Restaurant bathrooms can be hit or miss. They are a HIT here. Spotlessly clean with lovely decor. As good as the food was, what I remember was being so pleasantly surprised at the quality bathroom. We dined in, but they have a hopping carry out business. We saw a lot of people picking up food when we were there. I had hibachi and my daughter ordered sushi. I appreciated that they came out at roughly the same time so one of us wasn't waiting on the other. The sushi was a beautiful presentation and tasted fresh. The hibachi was tasty as well and thankfully a reasonably sized portion, so we didn't bother with leftovers. read more

This place is a hidden gem. From the outside it doesn't look like much, but don't let that deter you. Try it out and be treated to some good (not fancy) Japanese food. read more

We were really lucky to find this Halal Japanese restaurant (other than chicken gyoza everything is Halal). The shrimp shumai and miso soup felt unique (as I didn't try Japanese food earlier). The chicken udon and the hibachi rice dishes were really delicious. I liked the hibachi grilled prawn and beef the most. I also tried the smoked salmon nigiri which was great. As dessert we tried the cheesecake tempura which again was amazing and unique. The server was very friendly and welcoming. read more

Wow! This was our first visit to Isuka and it was incredible. Egg rolls to tempura vegetables and then a few rolls, all were so delicious. Our server was helpful and friendly and the rest of the crew stopped by to check on our experience. Unassuming dining room is comfortable and not crowded. We will be back often. read more

We stopped in after our first day of the Indie Book Crawl, the gentlemen working were very nice and took great care of us. We were the only ones in on a Thursday evening it was pretty quiet but lots of To-Go orders were picked up. My friends ordered sushi and gyoza, I had their NY steak hibachi dinner, we all left very happy and very full! They also accept offline club, and $10 was taken off the check! read more

I found myself in a bind today trying to find lunch today because we had just had a storm, and a few places were still out of power. But it was meant to be, because on my way back to the office. I stopped by Isuka. it was my first time. However, when you first walk in the door, they have a list of monthly specials. And I am a fan of a good special. I ordered the spicy crab meat roll. That was just enough to curve my hunger for lunch. The staff was attentive and pleasant. And my food came out. Surprisingly Quick. I took my sushi roll to go this time, but I'm a follow up visit. I do want to die and need to get the full experience. read more

"Hibachi express" has become my thing recently and I am glad to have found this place which is on my way home from work. They have a parking lot in the back of the building and it was easy to park. I ordered chicken hibachi dinner and it was a lot of food! It looked great but I forgot to take a photo of it. The service was fast and pleasant. My dinner was delicious, and I especially liked the fried rice that was served with it. After I ordered I noticed that they had monthly special which seemed to be a good deal and I want to try next time. Overall great value & experience! read more

A small tucked away restaurant on the Northside of town. Parking on north side of building. Food was fresh, fast and reasonably priced. My Daughter and I stopped after attending NFL Combine. She had steak and salmon hibachi and a side seaweed salad and loved it. I ordered a few appetizers pork egg rolls, pan fried dumplings and house chicken broth soup, all three were delicious. With tip it was less than $50 out the door. With today's prices and eating dinner in large city. Price was very reasonable and portion sizes were generous. Would definitely return when in town. read more

OMG! A sweet downtown hibachi gem for sure! If you never been please go but not too often. Haha. I enjoy my pop ins. Service is always great. I'm always greeted with a smile and good energy. And that 16th St sushi roll is FIRE! I've had salmon, shrimp & chicken hibachi. Sometimes the shrimp or salmon may be over cooked slightly but still yummy. I always get extra veggies Con: check your shrimp, I've caught a few not fully clean. read more

Surprisingly my kids turned me on to this spot. They had door dashed frequently from here and when asked what they wanted for lunch they suggested here. I can say it does not disappoint! When we arrived we were seated immediately as the place was not too crowded at all. They left us some menus, took our drink orders and said they would be back. It being my first time I had to read through the entire menu but my girls were ready to order. I was happy to discover I could substitute the meat of my choice in the sushi but their is a particular sushi with spicy salmon that is cooked......you HAVE to try it!!! It's amazing!!! Even my youngest who always frowned up at sushi enjoyed their salmon sushi and is now a fan. We all got hibachi orders with chicken and the food came out within 20 minutes. My girls enjoyed their soda which you do need to pay attention because you need the top to open it, otherwise you are screwed. Parking is not the best, I'll be honest it actually sucks. There is limited parking behind the building and although there appears to be ample parking in the connecting parking lot, I technically think it is some sort of resident parking. The staff as very helpful and attentive and paid attention to make sure our girls at least received their different portions of food first so as not to be "hungry". With the hibachi you do get your choice of soup or salad, I typically get the soup which was pretty good. We were there on an Sunday afternoon so it wasn't terribly crowded although they do have seating on both sides of the building. You could tell they get tons of online orders too as there was a constant flow of people coming to grab orders. This has now become our new quick hibachi spot when we are craving the style of food and need it quick. If you're in the area and curious, stop in and give it a try, you won't be disappointed. read more

This is a cute place on 16th. I went with some friends after work. They weren't too busy but the restaurant was clean and cutely decorated. I loved the fried rice it was full of flavor. My friend had the filet minion fried rice. I tried that and it was HEAVENLY! I should have got that! My sushi was the dynamite roll... honestly it was too messy for me. The sauce over took the sushi and made it messy and difficult to eat. I just wouldn't order that again. I do want to come back and try more hibachi items. I can tell by their rice that the hibachi dishes are their specialty. read more

Express is right! We needed a quick place to eat before a show at a local theater, but really don't eat fast food. A google search showed Isuka. We decided to risk it--and it paid off! The staff were extremely attentive, but not annoyingly so. The tables had a mix if benches and chairs which was great for our kids. It was a quiet, laid back atmosphere which was the opposite of how fast we got our food (which was delicious!). In our party of 6, we all found something we wanted and everyone raved about how good it was. Excellent choice! read more

I cannot compliment Isuka enough! I wish I would have taken pictures of our meals before we ate them. The chicken hibachi was high quality!! We have gotten take out each time we have been there, but would definitely eat inside as it is a cute restaurant!! The server at the register is always kind, and the sushi chef always greets as we walk in. Highly recommend stopping in here! read more

I really enjoyed my food and experience here. It was a Tuesday night and wasn't very busy. We sat ourselves based off the signage we saw. We ordered shrimp shumai for the table and I ordered one of the specials which was yaki udon with shrimp. It was so flavorful and delicious. The noodles were perfectly sauced. The shrimp shumai was also excellent. My friend ordered one of the sushi dishes and said it was just ok. I didn't try it but I am very happy with the choice I made! I feel like it's located in a random area of town with not much around but that could just be me since I don't frequent this area often. There is no parking lot so street parking will be the best option. read more

We were meeting our son downtown for a quick week night dinner and he suggested Isuka. So glad he did because it was a great new discovery for us. They were located in the Picadilly building with convenient parking in the rear. We were greeted upon arrival by two friendly employees and allowed to choose our own seats. We didn't have a reservation but on this particular night it wasn't needed. After advice from our server and a nearby patron we decided on an Indy roll, a 16th street roll, and a crazy salmon roll. They were all delicious and large enough to feed three hungry diners. We hadn't planned to get dessert but were advised that their tempura cheesecake was amazing and it was. The three of us could share one piece. Another large serving. The restaurant also offered hibachi dinners. May try that on our next visit. The atmosphere was casual and comfortable. read more

I have been waiting for this spot to open up, I mean there aren't many Hibachi/Sushi places open downtown. While it is located on a pretty busy intersection there is free parking which is always a plus you will need to enter on the side to get in the lot. When you come in it feels a little hollow, not quite that warm and cozy feel quite yet. Feels very airy and like a building where they added some tables and called it a day. They haven't been open long so I'm sure they will be updating and playing around to try and get the kind of vibe they are looking for but right now there isn't really one. Their menu is a typical Hibachi style menu and they have lots of sushi choices. The food came out hot and was just okay. Not amazing and not terrible just okay. I ordered the red snapper and it lacked seasoning but to someone else it would probably be just fine. They give you pretty large portions and it is priced vey well, especially considering they are downtown. We will go back because when a place just opens, I like to give it a couple of tries. read more

What a fantastic jewel to have in the area. I have been awaiting the arrival of this restaurant since I drove past one day. Today was the day! Unfortunately, I was not feeling well enough to leave and ordered takeout. I ordered during lunchtime, so my good was even more affordable. We ordered three hibachi meals; two were two meat entrees, and we had an order of shrimp tempura. Everything was good. I would make one change, and that would be to include more vegetables. Maybe I had a small number of veggies because I had takeout. I will be back 100 more times. read more

Isuka Hibachi Express & Sushi - Hibachi Lunch Combo 2 - Sushi Bars Near Me - Indianapolis, Indiana

Isuka is a super yummy place to grab some hibachi or sushi! I got the chicken hibachi, and my friend got the steak fried rice. We also got a kids chicken tempura and spicy tuna roll to split. I enjoyed the hibachi and spicy tuna roll the most. Overall, it was a lot of food for a very reasonable price. I think prices vary between lunch and dinner, so if you want a cheaper option go for lunch! All the servers were very kind and kept checking in on us. The restaurant is cute with some aesthetic decorations and the choice between sitting at the sushi bar or grabbing a table. Moreover, the food here is halal so for anyone looking for halal options this is a must try!!! I will definitely be coming back :) read more

I drive, bike and walk past this place all the time and decided to check it out. Went on a Saturday for lunch and had the chicken fried rice and pot stickers. The Gyoza (5 pc) were good and the Chicken Fried Rice was excellent. The portion size for the fried rice was very generous for the price ($9). My server was Khoisan who were very helpful and attentive. A neighborhood jewel which I will go back to. read more

Despite not having the traditional Hibachi experience, this place was absolutely delicious for some quick Hibachi on-the-go. The vegetables were cooked perfectly and not over seasoned, and their yum yum sauce was a perfect addition! We added soba noodles instead of rice from a friend's recommendation, and they were right because they were so yummy. My husband ordered a weekly special of beef ramen. The noodles and broth were wonderful, but we wished the egg was more broiled rather than cooked and then placed in the ramen. Service was incredibly welcoming, fast, and attentive! We'll be back for more. read more

I've picked up lunch at Isuka Hibachi Express & Sushi a couple times now and have had such a great experience. The sushi lunch combo can't be beat. You can pick two classic sushi rolls and soup or salad for $10. I had a spicy salmon roll, an asparagus roll, and the onion soup. All were amazing! Would definitely recommend for a quick, filling lunch. It is decorated so trendy on the inside too! Such a cute atmosphere. I will for sure be back to dine in, because so far I've only done carry out. read more

Isuka Hibachi Express & Sushi - Sushi Bars Near Me - Indianapolis, Indiana

I have been waiting for literal years for something to go into this place. At the point before this place opened, I was desperate for anything food/beverage-based to go in. After all, it had sat empty for years after plow and anchor moved/closed. I couldn't think of a better fit for this area of town. This part of 16th St is rather pedestrian-lacking and more transient/car heavy. This place offers a small amount of dining in as well as carry out and delivery. They have sushi rolls, hibachi meals, smoothies, apps, fried rice, and more - something for everyone. A very kind gesture from the business owner - they're also offering a discount for those that live inside the building! I opted for the hibachi tofu veggie dinner. It comes with choice of soup or salad - which it was 15 degrees outside so the easy choice was soup. It was the perfect amount of umami and salty. The hibachi meal came with large cut veggies and tofu, along with a yum yum sauce. My wait for takeout was only 7-10 minutes. Of note for the vegans/plant-based: my rice in my hibachi meal came with eggs so be sure to ask ahead. Overall, it was super tasty and I'm so happy to see another minority-owned business in the 16th St/Penn St area! read more

Intimate size sushi & hibachi shop right on 16th ( & penn) in the heart of the city. The entire place can fit in my hand.. and I love it. Came to pick up takeout for my son & was greeted right away by super welcoming staff that made sure we were comfortable while waiting on our order, bringing water for my son as we waited. We ordered the 16th street roll, spicy grab meat, and it didn't disappoint. Appreciate the staff, love the service, great taste! We will be back for sure. read more

For an "express hibachi" place, this is money. Just as (or more) quality as from sit down hibachi establishments. I appreciate how they have tofu option. Chicken is high quality as well. Room for improvement, albeit minimal, would be to serve ginger sauce (in addition to yum yum that comes along with entree) and also a spicy sauce (or thai chili would be great). Have not yet tried sushi. Service is fast and attentive. Ambiance is that of a sit down cafe, casual, with small sushi bar. Parking in lot behind building reserved for restaurant. read more
