    SteK and shrimp hibachi
    Kaliaya D.

    This place did not impress me at all. I order takeout one steak and shrimp plate with fried rice is $13. They do not offer meat fried rice and the vegetable one that comes with the hibachi plate doesn't even have eggs in it. The shrimp and steak were big piece, so that's a plus but the food had no flavor for it to be hibachi. They give you some "yum yum" sauce with your meal that taste like a sweet mayonnaise based sauce. They didn't provide me with soy sauce or anything else. Once I got home I added sauce to make it taste better. Service isn't bad, my order was ready on 15mins but upon picking it up the guy almost handed me the wrong order. Looks like most people order take out bc the inside was completely empty.

    Tired of eating the same old same old, we ventured here to try some food. I got the teriyaki chicken bento box and my husband got the Golden Crispy roll. The California Rolls included in the bento box was just okay. I'm glad it came with the box so I didn't have to spend money on it had I only wanted sushi. The rice with the teriyaki was pretty underwhelming. It didn't taste fresh to me. The chicken was pleasant though, good sauce on it. My only issue is that you expect the chicken to be boneless, but I had a pretty big bone in one piece. Wasn't a fan of that experience. My husband ordered one roll, mainly because of the price, but boy were we in for a treat. The tray was huge. 12 giant pieces. It was far superior than the California rolls I tried. It was crunchy, fresh, and full of flavor. I'd easily order this again. Easily.

    This place is my go to sushi spot in Augusta, good every single time and they have options for everyone. Today was the first day there was minor hiccup where they didn't have the firecracker sauce, which is fitting because that sauce is bomb. These rolls seem bigger than usual because other places I can do 2 rolls and here I can get 1 1/2 down if I'm starving.

    Their "specials" on their website that they do NOT honour.

    Once again....we ordered from them. And once again...they have failed to deliver. We ordered what they had on their website as their "special of the day". They did not honour their advertised price. We ordered the steak hibachi medium rare....and it came out extremely well done. If we wanted shoe leather, we have plenty of shoes in our house that we could have dined on...instead on paying almost $12 for food that does not even have an iota of seasoning. No salt. No pepper. Nada. We had the same issue with them when they first opened....but decided to give them another try, because our daughter loves their Philly rolls. Guess we should have known better. Our daughter loves to eat Philly rolls.... Why Philly rolls you ask?! Because she is afraid of flavour. And lo and behold....that is the one thing that Izumi Express CAN actually deliver on!! 0 flavour!! So we paid almost $50 for a family of 4 for food that had 0 flavour and steak that was so seriously overcooked that I lost a filling! Save your money and your time. Eat your shoes at home instead of going to Izumi Express.

    Initial thought; the first two things that I noticed, it's very clean, and the smell...it smells SO good. As soon as I cracked the door my mouth was watering and my stomach was yelling at me. While waiting I checked the restroom, and it was very clean. Something I always do at new restaurants. If you have a filthy restroom I dont expect anything else to be clean and wont eat there. This place passes :) Ok so I got home and tride the food. I love it. Its fast, it only took 20min with people having ordered in front of me! that is really awesome in my book. It is cheap enough and delicious. What more could you want from a small, japanese restaurant called express!? The Mexico roll is awesome! I decided to try it because I've never seen something like it on a menu before, I like finding the most unique thing on the menu. Its spicy and fun! The nigiri is good, no fishy smell and it tastes good. I'm very happy with this place and will definitely be stopping by often for my sushi fix ...I'm stoaked that I live right around the corner! Lucky me!

    Ordered takeout from Izumi Express, banking on the fact we've had their food and we know it to be quality. I wasn't disappointed but wasn't "wowed" so to speak. As far as accuracy, they hit the mark. Presentation was neat and streamlined. Taste was good and I appreciated the fresh ginger on the side. One can argue that I chose a dish that doesn't lend itself to the "wow factor". To that, I say touché. I don't eat or like fish but I can still manage to enjoy their food and vegetarian options. I'm not sure what I would recommend for improvement, I think I'd rather leave that up to the culinary expertise of the owner and chefs. It would be a welcomed change but thanks for providing a consistent dish in the meantime! I did not pick up the food, so I missed out on the atmosphere and customer service. Would I return? Sure thing! It's a nice comfort having a solid restaurant like Izumi in Grovetown during the pandemic.

    Hibachi Vegetable + Sexy Salmon Roll
    Mike T.

    This place permanently raised my expectations for any restaurant with "Express" in the name. I ended up coming twice for lunch during World Series week to grab a hibachi bowl + a roll of sushi. Flavorful and filling options all over the menu. It's quite busy at peak lunch time so make sure you order ahead!

    I ordered takeout for 3 people and my order was fixed quickly. I don't eat steak, but I liked that I was asked how to prepare the steak for the hibachi plate that I ordered the Izumi House Poke Bowl, the tempura shrimp was a little bland, but the bowl was good. I wish there were more options to customize the bowl, but the cost makes it a great value!

    The food is great and very fresh. The service is warm and friendly and the restaurant is clean. Lunch specials are good with many options. We left our leftovers on the table and one of the staff chased me out the door with it. I really appreciated that extra care since I have the short term memory of a squirrel. Highly recommend if you don't have time to go to their buffet location.

    Tuna Poke Bowl

    I decided to try the tuna poke bowl and it was amazing! A very generous amount of food. It came quickly! It made me sooo sleepy afterward.

    Definitely affordable, but my chicken came uncooked . I'd give this place a 4/10 for flavor, a 3/10 for portion size and 5/10 for sushi.

    I stopped by Fukuro to try the famous Salmon Sando after my sister told me it was the best thing…read moreshe'd ever tasted and she was absolutely right! If you plan on visiting, I highly recommend making a reservation or getting there right when they open. The restaurant is on the smaller side, and bar seating is limited, so it fills up quickly. The space is beautiful, modern, and inviting. The cocktails were well-crafted, but the food was definitely the star of the show. Every bite tasted incredibly fresh, and you can tell they put a lot of care into every dish. The staff was friendly, attentive, and made the experience even better. I can already tell this will be a place I'll return to whenever I'm back in Savannah. Highly recommend!

    WOW! Best and freshest sushi in town. I'm genuinely blown away at this amazing meal and experience…read more The service was amazing, we had made reservations for later but they had a table earlier that was snagged. Antonio and he's trainee were absolutely welcoming and great! We both started with some of the seasonal cocktail which were hard to choose from because so many sounded so good! The meal started with splitting the churro carpaccio which absolutely melted in your mouth! It was so light and flavorful that we knew it could only get better and did. We split 3 rolls - The triangle, star war, tuna on fire. The fish was ever so fresh and light. Each Roll was so flavorful and exceeded expectations. We can't wait to come back and try more!
