Called to try and make a reservation. Told us that we can just come in and there shouldn't be a wait. Came in and was told it's a 10min wait ended up waiting 30mins. A little annoying but not too bad. The food- I ordered the "yummy yummy" roll and it was soaked the worst sushi I've ever had. I ate 2 pieces, only because I was thinking the 2nd bite MIGHT be better than the 1st. The tempura shrimp was cold and chewy like it was sitting there for hours before he used it for the roll. WAYYY too much cream cheese. I ended up just leaving it cus no way was I going to eat anymore of it. I will not be back here again was an impulsive decision as I was hungry and highly regret the $80 tab. Taste like Safeway sushi. Inari was good but easy to make it's get negative reviews if they messed that up. read more

Service was good, most of the rolls were ok. However they have a baked salmon roll. The baked salmon roll was not baked it was cold to the touch. I asked if it was baked he said yes. I said it's cold ( freezer cold) he said they put it in the fridge. So the salmon is baked then put in the fridge? I got silence and no answer. Other than that would take too long. This is the first time I received a cold baked salmon. So I question if anything is fresh if they fridge the baked salmon. Las Vegas roll was ok, tempura roll was ok, teriyaki the kids ate they said it was fine. They were working on upgrades when I went 2 days ago. Ambience other than that was fine. No roll stood out enough to make me wanna go back. read more

Good place. The fish is fresh and shiny. I think the sushi roll's rice is kinda loose. Minus one star because they never plan to fix the sushi belt. read more

We've been to this restaurant previously and they used to be conveyor belt sushi but since then, it's all entrees and a la carte only. Ordered their Tuna Tataki where I've had this dish probably in 10 different cities across the nation but this was by far the best I've ever had with their amazing sauce and sliced jalapenos. Their tempura fried oysters where on point as well. Definitely worth a revisit if you're in the neighborhood. read more

Came here with a large group and everyone went home satisfied. Of course we ordered way too much food but that's the point with this place. You can certainly grab what you can off of the conveyor belt but they are happy to make some of their signature rolls for you as well including the fireball roll. The place seemed to be family run which I like and they were very accommodating to set up a table for our big group. Full beer and liquor bar too. It's not far and away the best to where you'd go 5 star but I like the place and would go back. read more

Even though it's a sushi place the teriyaki is soooo good!! Along with the salmon teriyaki too!!

Went in today for conveyor belt sushi but was told that they had discontinued this. Ok, fine. Ordered 6 different rolls plus a few appetizers to sample and was sorely disappointed. Absolutely everything was drowning in sauce and was way too heavy. You couldn't even taste the fish. The rice tasted old. Definitely won't be back read more

We were AMAZED by not only the food but also the INCREDIBLE SERVICE! We ordered multiple rolls- all the fish was super fresh and presentation was lovely. We will definitely be back. read more

Meh, "OK experience" is what I got from iSushi, I heard great things about this place and I guess my hopes were a bit high as I was dining at iSushi. I didn't really enjoy the quality of the food as well as the pricing. The service was okay, nothing spectaular. For two people we spent about $60.00 with food and drinks, in which I feel was extremely high. I don't think I'll be back despite it being close proximity to my residence. read more

Stop whatever you are doing and get down here. Order the Seared Salmon roll and the house salad. Now enjoy the best meal you've had in quite a while. You can thank me later. read more

Hot mess. They are trying hard to be a restaurant. But they need to figure out how to provide good service. You know that thing when your server barely lets you answer and then walks away and you find yourself waiting forever to talk to them again so that you can get eating utensils, or a cup to drink your sake out of, or order your food... this happened multiple times... No EVERY time. They fail at basic things. Also the sushi is shit read more

They are amazing! We love coming here they are fast and efficient! They know what good customer service is!

My 7 year old and I had a lovely meal here tonight. He said 11 out of 10 starts, and usually he is very picky. His chicken teriyaki was delish! Let's talk about sushi. I loveeee when they don't overload the sushi belt and let it spin in circles forever. Sushi was plentiful, my nigiri had a generous salmon portion, and dragon roll was legit. I felt pricing was a bit higher than some other places, but the level of service and quality of sushi was also better. Coming back soon! read more

I'll start by saying that when I moved to Renton a year plus ago I wouldn't even bother with this place Bc I wasn't impressed by its issaquah location. Then COVID hit and I saw them on Postmates and said why the f not. It did not disappoint. I thought... must be a fluke. Nope. I've ordered and have gone in for a total of 4 times in 2 weeks. Place is legit. Cheap eats and the sashimi pieces were huge! My scallops tasted fresh. Everything there was well sized. Highly impressed for a conveyor belt place (conveyor belt not currently operating during rona season, but you can still dine in). Also... staff is super nice. . I placed an order online for pickup, noticed it was incorrect and they fixed it on the spot, no fuss, nothing. I haven't yelped in years, nothing really stands out nowadays, but I totally thought this place deserved the shout out. read more

What a waste of gas. Arrived to a nearly empty restaurant, nicely (if unenthusiastically) greeted and shown to a table. We were given one menu and told they would try to find a second. The hostess/server then started on some other task. In the ten minutes we waited, a second menu was not provided, we were not offered a beverage, and there did not seem to be any orders being taken or prepared. We decided to leave - the only acknowledgement we received was the manager saying "sorry" as we walked out. He didn't ask us why or try to correct the situation. It was as if they had never intended to serve us a meal. If this business is hoping to close, they are doing a good job getting there. read more

This is the closest sushi place to my home and I was so excited when they opened! For the first 3 months or so, everything was spectacular. Sushi was fresh, hot food was plated well and delivered quickly, staff were attentive, counters were clean, and the manager and boss were always present. After this initial "babysitting" period, I noticed the manager and boss were no longer around to watch for quality and OH BOY did it decline quickly! Servers were young and had no clue about sushi, and the chefs were slapdash and messy with food quality and presentation. The fish no longer tasted or smelled fresh, and getting a refill for water/tea was impossible. My friends and I joked that we should just bring our own drinks since we were never going to get a refill and no one would notice as it was so hard to get the waitstaff's attention anyway. It's such a shame that this happened because this place has so much potential, and when upper management was around, it was so delicious! Too bad the staff needs to be babysat in order to care about their customers. read more

I love this place. The food is good and always fresh, and the service is awesome. I always feel very welcomed here. Inside the place looks pretty cute with all the cheery blossom trees . I attached a couple of pictures of the food below so you can see for urself how yummy everything looks. read more

Came here for the first time today and I enjoyed it! The belt was a little empty when I got there, but the server was very attentive and helped me order a few things. I had salmon, surf clam, a spicy tuna roll, and a salmon roll. All of them were delicious! The whole restaurant itself is very clean and has lovely presentation. Service was great; will definitely come back soon! read more

Food and service were both amazing. Don't pass on this place. Great variety of rolls and Sashimi.

I hadn't been to a sushi restaurant with a conveyer belt in a long time so thought this would be fun. Got there and and it wasn't running. Oh well, the food was great, fresh, good variety and came out quickly. For a Saturday night it was completely empty, just one other table was occupied. Would order from again. read more

Food was good not more than that. The service was bad, no attention and customer service along the staying here, the manager assumed we were laughing on one if the employees and we were joking about the water kind. I will not coming back to this place, the manager should see and understand the difference between joking on and joking with. read more

Finanlly figured out this isn't a conveyor-belt situation - and wish I had far sooner. Good servings of fish and grill-items alike, the staff are always friendly and knowledgeable which gets me to try new things on occasion. I always prefer local restaurants as oppposed to franchises, so yet another reason to return! read more

Horrible service. Asked to see the manager and the host said he owned the place absolutely the worst

I'm glad I didn't look at the ratings before walking in, which is very much unlike me!! I would have missed out on a fabulous light lunch! The staff was super nice, the restaurant is clean and my food was fresh. I was having a hard time figuring out what to eat as the food went by and I was trying to compare the food to the pictures and prices. In the end, the seared tuna was my favorite along with the fabulous green tea! I'll let the photos tell the rest of the story. Chef Pascual was amazing (and helped me narrow down food choices) and I had excellent service from both Bonnie and Cathy. read more

The quality of the sushi here is outstanding. The asparagus roll is one of my favorites. I also love the hand rolls with salmon and cucumbers. The spicy flavor combinations are also amazing. They have so much than just sushi - the Chicken Katsu is one of the best I have ever had. The service is top notch and it far exceeded my expectations. read more

This little somewhat-overlooked sushi spot just off the Maple Valley Highway in Renton is a personal favorite. They used to be a conveyor belt place, but ditched that idea a couple of years back and have evolved into a cozy and delightful mid-grade sushi bar with ample seating, a pleasant atmosphere, and amenities like a big screen TV (in case someone in your party cares about the game). The staff is somewhat knowledgeable and friendly, and the service is good. No, this is not sushi made by expert Japanese chefs, but if you are not expecting the $300-a-sitting stuff, then this is a top-grade place with a lot of good surprises. The type of place you could bring a date to ("I know a place") and nothing would detract from the evening. First of all, the servings are presented in a more traditional way, often on a ceramic platter or a bamboo tray. This especially comes to play with some of the "house specials" (some of which rotate) which are assembled with enough eye appeal to invoke an "Oh wow" when they come to the table. One of the best in this category is the salmon usu, which pairs the seared fish with onion, cilantro and mango with yuzu flavors for a poke-like or fusion experience, a real sharing dish. Second of all, the rice. It is always perfectly seasoned and cooked. It has been said that sushi restaurants live and die by their rice, which (after all) may be up to half of what you are eating. The rice here is NOT bland or mushy. It pairs expertly with the more subtle dishes, and holds its own with the more lively stuff. I've been to a lot of sushi places from Seattle to Vancouver to San Francisco, and this place has the best rice around. They know what they are doing. A few more honorable mentions of favorite dishes then I'll get out of your face. The tempura oyster appetizer is 3 perfectly-cooked big, plump oysters paired with a dish of katsu sauce for dipping. This is a must-have. The oysters are not those sad little dried up things you can usually expect in some Asian places, but taste like Quilcene mediums. Very plump & juicy, and if you order them when the place isn't crowded they'll be perfect, with the tempura giving just the right amount of resistance (too subtle to call it "crunch") before the whole things dissolves into a rich, delicious goo into your mouth. Do a temperature check before biting into one (they usually come piping hot) and don't try to eat half of one or you might end up with hot oyster running down your chin. Ever since losing the belt, everything you order is "whole roll," which means 8 pieces. One of these per person is a good idea, so you can get a good variety if you come here on a double date - that plus one or two orders of nigiri or maki per person makes a satisfying meal. And the rolls are sensibly constructed, which means not everything is smothered in mayo or that tempura crumb bric-a-brac. The spicy rolls, like spicy tuna or spicy California, are understated in their spiciness level, allowing that yummy rice to still shine through. Yes, you can get dragon rolls and dynamite rolls, it's just that these do not outshine the simpler rolls on the menu, because this place pays attention to details in the simpler dishes, as they should. The nigiri sushi is always good. This is one of the few restaurants of this grade where I'll dare order hotate (scallop) because most places do not understand this simple seafood, and offer something tough and tasteless. Isushi's is always buttery, fresh, and sweet. Other favorites on the nigiri menu are red snapper - another overlooked fish in some places - and of course salmon, a local favorite for the Seattle area. When I've ordered nigiri here, the pieces are generous and sliced oblique to the grain, in the correct manner to preserve the texture. The maki is not to be overlooked. Probably the best overall item on the menu is the oshinko maki (which they call "osinko" here). Don't pass this up. The "pickled" radish is neither salty nor vinegary, but fresh and crunchy with just enough snap. Paired with the flaky-chewy seaweed and some of that heavenly rice, the result is irresistible. I always order these, as my friends (who I bring in to "discover" the place) aren't usually familiar with them, but once they taste them they disappear like popcorn. Very few things detract here. In keeping with their re-imaging as a "classier" sushi place, Isushi offers Omakase, which are assortments presumably like you would order in those $300 a pop places. I usually avoid these since I generally know what I am after when I walk in, but I might someday try one here to see what philosophy they might offer from their sensibly limited menu. I wouldn't expect anything exotic, since that isn't what this place is about. And of course you can't get an assortment of rolls, which might put some people off (but not me). Also, some items - which are usually understood to be rare or seasonal - might be listed as sold out. These occurences should be understood. read more

UPDATE: I decided to go back cuz I'm an idiot and was craving sushi. It was around 6:30pm and there was a total of 4 people there. The sushi that was out on the belt (not much) looked like it had been out for awhile. I ordered a salmon roe (I like the saltiness) and there was like, of puddle of the juices from the roe on the plate (never seen that before and I order these all the time) and after the first bite I had to spit it out. It had this really terrible taste to it and the whole thing fell apart. Not suppose to happen. A waitress walked by and asked how it everything was and I told her about how dissatisfied I was with the salmon roe. She asked if I wanted a replacement and I declined. She then said something in Spanish to the chef before the counter before walking away all together. At the end, I didn't want to cause a scene so I paid the $5 for that plate and left. Again, I'm really confused how this place has such positive reviews. That was the straw that broke the camel's back. I'm never eating there again read more

Good-bye Genki, Sushiland and Blue Island sushi!!! Hello iSushi! We have bwen won over for so many reasons that I can literally come up with a top 10 list of reasons why we will never go back to those other places that we have been going for over the last ten years. 1. Great quality of fish 2. Amazing variety of sushi, rolls and entrées. (Uni, super white tuna, etc.) 3. Excellent sashimi platter. 4. Udon noodles are well made. Flavorful and great texture. 5. Great location. Easy to get to and easy parking. 6. Lots of booth seating for families with children. 7. Great ambiance, clean facility and restrooms. 8. Full bar with two larger screen TV's. 9. Lots of servers who are quick and courteous. 10. Last but certainly not least, reasonable prices! White tuna nirigi is only $4.75. What more can we say? Oh yeah! For whatever reason unknown to us it is better than their Issaquah location. read more

I frequent sushi restaurants often, both menu and conveyor, and was excited when my friends moved into the apartments behind this location. It's conveniently located just off of the Maple Valley Hwy and has a good amount of private lot parking. The interior is very modern, clean, and organized and it had all of the things I typically enjoy so I was optimistic after reading what others had to say in their reviews. Unfortunately my experience didn't match up to my expectations. Our salmon and tuna nigiri was slightly warm and didn't taste very fresh. My agedashi tofu, something I always order and like to use to compare quality, was not pleasant in both texture and flavor and I couldn't finish it. We were happy with the beef udon and miso soup and I enjoyed the selection of assorted beverages offered both on the menu and on the belt. 3 stars for the beautiful, clean store and friendly employees, however I probably won't return any time soon. read more
