With a 4.6 rating, we were genuinely excited to try it. Walking in, first impressions were great. The inside of the restaurant was super cute, the artwork was beautifully done, and the initial greeting was welcoming. Unfortunately, things started going downhill pretty quickly after that. We had a few questions about the menu, but the hostess seemed confused and didn't really understand what we were asking, so we ultimately just gave up and ordered what sounded good. Food-wise, it was very mixed. The sushi roll was phenomenal...genuinely the best part of the experience, and my son absolutely loved his. The shrimp udon was okay, but the portion was noticeably smaller than what most sushi places serve. The salmon poke bowl was very basic and honestly underwhelming. I also asked for spicy mayo, which was never brought out. The biggest disappointment was the service. Paying $4 for a canned soda with no refills already felt excessive, but when my son accidentally spilled it, we cleaned it up immediately ourselves. No one offered extra napkins, replaced the plate, or even asked if we wanted another drink. It just felt inattentive from start to finish. To make matters worse, one staff member was sitting at the bar listening to something loudly on a laptop, which completely took away from the atmosphere and felt unprofessional. As someone who used to waitress, I understand the service industry and I'm usually a generous tipper. But I also believe tips reflect service, and unfortunately this experience missed the mark. After picking up our receipt, the hostess was visibly unhappy with the tip amount and had no issue making that clear which only reinforced the poor experience. I very rarely leave one-star reviews, but for a place with a 4.6 star reputation and "top-rated" marketing, this was incredibly disappointing. Cute atmosphere and one great sushi roll aside, the service and overall experience were just not what we expected.

The restaurant itself is dimly lit but inviting and hosts a large bar. We were sat close to there. I enjoyed our waitress and the server she was training. They offered prompt and kind service. There was also a meal deal where you could order a selection of sushi rolls, appetizers, or classic rolls for a cheaper price. For my dinner I ordered the spicy scallop, Samurai, and salmon with mango. They also brought out spicy mayo and eel sauce for us. The sushi is fresh, the portions are generous, and the ingredients are high quality. I thought the prices were reasonable as well. This is definitely a gem among Italian restaurants and I highly recommend! Parking can be tricky but there are normally spots along side streets you can park at and walk over.

And everything was to my liking. Thick udon noodles with a slight chew and tender chicken. Healthy amount of vegetables mixed in, tied together with a light and simple broth. Overall, nothing ground breaking here. Solid value at $14 so if you have some friends who want sushi but you don't or you're tight on cash, good option. Good feeling overall in this place, little of a lounge vibe, service was friendly, no complaints out of me. It'll stay in the back pocket for a backup.

I got the Sashimi Deluxe plate and my niece got the pork ramen. Both were very good. The sashimi was very fresh and tasty. The ramen was not too salty, and the nooodles were thick and tasty. The fried pork pieces were also not too salty. Just right. Very nice service. Private parking lot on the side of the restaurant and off street.

Our waiter said their kimchi was the best, and he wasn't lying. We loved our seafood scallion pancakes and even our toddlers French fries were crispy and hot and delicious. House salad was cold and crisp, miso soup was flavorful and has more than two tiny bits of tofu like most places offer. My husband loved his Kimchi ramen and tried hand grated wasabi for the first time! The owners came and chatted with us and our toddler. Our toddler isn't talking yet but he still included him in our convo and was very kind. Our waiter was so sweet and had great suggestions and fast service. 10/10.

I also got a Japanese beer (white ale) and he said I made a good choice and the beer had a nice flavor. I wish I wasn't so full, I would've tried something else. Definitely will be back!

Today, my father decided to do take out for his birthday lunch with my daughter and myself. He ordered the ground pork lettuce wrap and grilled squid along with other dishes like the salt and pepper pork chop, tom yum soup, and a sushi roll. Now, I don't expect take out to be presented the same way as dining in. It was not so much about the appearance - my biggest issues were that the ground pork lettuce wrap had around two tablespoons of ground pork and the grilled squid was overcooked and just wasn't of the same quality of when Izumi first opened. The pork chop was also just unimpressive. It lacked taste and was also overcooked considering the texture of the pork was hard to chew on. The service wasn't the issue as they are always incredibly pleasant and since we did take out, we can't say much about the ambiance. However, from what I observe it's still a nice place. Just can't vouch for their food anymore...

I liked the chicken a lot but it could have used some more spices or seasoning. As for the bibimbap it was well prepared (though I am by no means an expert in the dish). I did expect more heat from either the gochujang sauce or the pork, but by the end of the meal my sinuses were telling me that it had been there :). My daughter really enjoyed her tonkatsu.
