on Judys Book Feb 11, 2009The food tasted okay, not the greatest. I had a chirashi, didn't taste too fresh. For the quality, I don't know if I'd pay that high of a price tag. Though everything is relatively, there aren't many that great Japanese... (more)

on Citysearch Sep 12, 2008I have been an Izumi customer for 15 years. I don't get out that way much anymore, but we made it out tonight. I read the reviews on this site before we left and I called the restaurant to see if the person on the other end was... (more)

on Judys Book Jul 22, 2008I love the chirashi dinner combo at Izumi - fair sized portions with of variety. Sashimi is relatively fresh too, especially compared to the rest of the choices on the east side. (more)

on Citysearch Apr 23, 2008Don't go unless you want to be insulted. There are alot of great sushi places on the Eastside, there's no need to put up with the rude owners and staff members for decent sushi. (more)

on Citysearch Sep 10, 2007I have been dining at Izumi's for at least 15 years and I get some of the best service and outstanding food anywhere. It is a little more spendy than some of the other Japanese restaurants but the food is consistently... (more)

on Citysearch Jul 09, 2007All I can say is either Izumi was having a bad night or the people writing the negative reviews don't know Japanese food. Izumi has been around for decades for a reason, they do Japanese food right. Nobody makes a Spider... (more)

on Judys Book Apr 10, 2007I've had some of the best Sushi here. Pieces of fish are very fresh and large. Menu prices are slightly higher than what you would find at other places - but the better quality makes it worth it. This place makes you... (more)

on Citysearch Oct 12, 2006Just to let you know where I'm coming from, my favorite sushi restaurants are the two omakase places on Sawtelle in Los Angeles - Sasabune and Hiko. Some accuse those places of using too much sauce or pandering, but... (more)

on Citysearch Oct 03, 2006<b>In Short</b><br>Tucked into Kirkland's taco-and-burger land, the restaurant is its own self-contained world. Just part the dark-blue half-curtain inside the front door to find competent servers in... (more)

on Judys Book Sep 15, 2006I couldn't stop laughing when someone told me that I could find some of the best sushi in the Seattle area in the Totem Lake strip mall in Kirkland. But I'm so glad that I listened to them. I've been to most of the sushi... (more)

on Citysearch Aug 13, 2006My son-in-law was raised in Japan, and he loves this place. The outside, a tired strip mall, doesn't look promising, but inside it is a small, pleasant bit of transplanted Japan. Service is leisurely but efficient,... (more)
