Very fast, good prices, and you can order online. Also one of the few places to serve eel around here

If you're reading reviews and wondering whether you should give this place a try--my answer is no, and here's why. Let's start with the rice: it has peas and carrots, in case that matters to you. But more importantly, it doesn't have a single speck of salt, so it ends up tasting pretty bad. The teriyaki chicken? No sauce, just black pepper, and again--no salt whatsoever. It honestly makes me think they don't use salt at all in this place. This was my second time trying them, and it was an absolute disappointment--especially after having been to plenty of other Japanese spots. I won't be coming back. read more

My family and I love this place. Everything is made fresh right on the spot and tastes so flavorful. We most of the time do pick up, and it's always 20 -25 minutes to pick up, and it's ready. The service is always great. I recommend to everyone read more

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. read more

The sushi was room temperature (borderline warm), And it didn't taste fresh. I will not be going back. Also, the AC units they have in the ceiling were dripping water onto the tables they sat over, which doesn't help the experience. read more

The sushi is always amazing here and great pricing. The quick fast and very affordable. They have options where you can pick 3, 2 or one roll for good deals. read more

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. read more

It's over priced and the little guy running the counter is special. Orders are always getting mixed up and the wait times are incurred because nobody listens to English. read more

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. read more

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. read more

Yesterday stopped by for lunch. Happy to see hot steam coming from buffet. Food was delicious service was great.

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! read more

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. read more

Food is AIIIGHT!!!! Nothing to brag about but their customer service (SUCKS). We were eating at the restaurant and ordered another roll. I realized it was taking long so I went to check on my order. The roll was sitting on the counter in a bag. Nobody bright it to our table . Nor, called us to get our order. DONT WASTE TIUR TIME GO TO SOLE OF AUGUSTA read more

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! read more

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! read more

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. read more

It's a sushi buffet also regular Chinese food as well as hibachi. Great choice for picky eaters and they definitely have something for everyone!

Ordered a Great Meal From here! The Teriyaki Steak Binto box was delicious with the Gozya!!!

Since I've been in the area, it has been difficult for me to find GOOD sushi. I decided to give this place a try and I was not disappointed. I ordered the California roll, spicy tuna roll and the deluxe crunch roll (I typically order raw sushi but when I try a new place a don't get all raw because if you mess up the basics I can't trust you). I also ordered the hibachi chicken for my son. The price was extremely affordable and the food was pretty good. The sushi was fresh and rolled tight. The fried rice with the hibachi chicken was good but the chicken could use more seasoning. The sauce that comes with the hibachi chicken was good as well. I will definitely come back to this place to try other things on the menu. read more

Great service, and a good variety of food! I wish there were more dessert items to choose from. It can get a bit crowded and the buffet can get empty pretty quickly, but overall we enjoyed it and will definitely be going there again! read more

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've spent a while trying to find a sushi place I love and this place is hands down the best I've found. Everything on their menu is so delicious and tastes incredibly fresh. I shamelessly order from here a few times a month and there has never been an occasion where I've been disappointed in either the food or the service. Absolutely amazing and I would recommend this place to anyone looking for a delicious sushi spot in Grovetown. read more

Not bad, not overly impressed with it. Prefered the Hibachi Grill Express down the road. I did like the online ordering. Did not try the sushi this time read more

I'm obsessed with the teriyaki chicken rice bowl. And the sauce they give you SLAPS!!! IT TASTES SOO GOOD!!! The sauce makes the meal 10/10

I'll be honest... I was not expecting my hibachi shrimp to be as good as it was. It was delicious! We will definitely be back. The only thing is I wish they cut the vegetables a little smaller but I fixed that myself. read more

Got the hibachi chicken and shrimp with fried rice and veg. Rice was almost flavorless. Small amount of meat atop minimal veg. Veg had an inch of water in it. Wtf?! Chicken was semi dry almost flavorless. Shrimp tasted like the ocean. Too bad. I had high hopes. Guess I have to stick with teriyaki express by Kroger. read more

First and last time visiting. The chicken was very tough, had no flavor, and had a lot of fatty pieces. The sauce was seasoned with something I couldn't pinpoint, but was not good. There was more vegetables than rice, which of course my kids turned their noses up to. Overall, very unpleasant experience and terrible quality of food for the price paid. We will not be returning. read more

The fish tastes fresh here and they also have a great deep fried roll. I like the prices a lot, we keep coming back. Wish they offered military discount like other sushi places in the area but their prices are good enough not to bother me. read more

went here with some friends and we were ignored until we were about to leave. Ordered our meals and two bottled waters. The second water I opened had a broken seal and the water was filled to the very top. I asked if I could replace it and was told no. I told the employees I would not patronize this establishment and then they decided to let me have another water. This water had a broken seal and was filled to the top as well. I will not be back. read more

The hibachi was overcooked and the rolls were just bad, I don't think I'll be back based on how I'm feeling right now, we threw most of it in the trash. read more

Ordered food and sat down for our food to sit on the counter for 20 minutes before we asked what was going on. Once the food came the rolls were drowned in a siracha mayo that more mayo than anything else. Pretty disappointing. read more

Food was really good. Not quite the level of the buffet but really good. Will definitely be getting more sushi from here
