Go for the sushi---not the other stuff – Sushi here is quite fresh and delicious, however their other items are not very inspiring. Their tempura is quite average as their batter is not very flaky. The chicken teriyaki tastes more like a Hawaii-inspired shoyu chicken and the Sukiyaki didn't have as many vegetables/ingredients I've gotten used to in my old San Mateo, CA haunt. One hint, order the sushi/sashimi a la carte. You get the "Godzilla" size pieces of fish when you order it this way. We made the mistake of ordering a ... read more
Great traditional Japanese restaurant – I've dined at Izumi numerous times over the last 3 years, including parties of 8. The food is always great, even though service is average. It might not be the best place for sushi (try Kikuya in Redmond), but traditional Japanese dishes are excellent. Try black cod, as well as sukiyaki and you will be back again! Overall one of the best Japanese restaurants on the Eastside, definetely recommended.
Worst Restaurant ever – No customer service. Food served in aluminium bowl. Completely watery. Lost my apetite for couple of days... Will never ever step into the restaurant again. My advice stay away from this place as much as you can.
The very best traditional Japanese rest. – I know, it's hard to accept that Seattle's best sushi is in a strip mall in Totem Lake! But believe it. Izumi is the perfect traditional Japanese restaurant. They serve the most exquisite cuts of fish you'll ever see... and generous too. Even the spicy tuna roll (typically, in our area, made from a chopped slaw of tuna remainder pieces) is a bundle of rich-colored perfect slices. They're obsessive about quality and it shows in everything they serve. The kani suno mono has a huge mou... read more
Awesome sushi on the Eastside – Wow - this place is awesome. Their sushi is traditional, no-frills. Their sashimi is some of the best we've had in the area - large pieces of fish and very fresh. The service is excellent. Very quiet, low-key - simply a great place!
The Best In The Area – Best sushi hands down in King County. Izumi serves sushi the quality of which is on par with that of Ventura Boulevard sushi restaurants. The salmon belly and hamachi are particularly fresh and sliced and served "godzilla" style, which is the ultra large portion style common in Manhattan in recent years. Treat yourself to a serving of toro and fresh sea urchin if they have it. Watch the chef open the sea urchin right in front of you and serve it to you on top of the horny shell it just came from. Can't... read more
Good-No frills sushi – I just moved here from LA, and I was quite pleased when I discovered Izumi. The quality is superb, and the friendly staff is eager to make your experience satisfying. My wife and I have a 3 month old, and they are always very accommodating for us. A+, we have our new favorite sushi spot!
Wonderful – Have eaten at Izumi's many times over the years. The sushi is simply the best - always impeccably fresh. The prawn tempura is light and you are given a large portion. The chicken teriyaki is terrific. Service is knowledgeable and friendly. Cleanliness is paramount at Izumi and it shows. You'll never find utensils with stuck on food or lip prints on a glass or cup. Try this place. It's simply the best.
Great Sushi – My wife and I love this place, they have great Sushi, and the service is always very good. The prices are fairly resonable and the food is always excellent.
