“ The BEST restaurant I’ve been to in the last decade. Staff is amazing, atmosphere is choice and the food is even better than those two! Props to everyone involved here! ”
“ Nice casual Japanese restaurant with a large menu. Food seems to be more toward the traditional side than Americanized, which was great. It was a nice change from the average restaurant. The only negative was the dining area looked like a cheap afterthought, but casual works for us, so it was no big deal. Salmon and sushi i had were great. ”
“ Very impressed with the food and very large portions to take some home. ”
“ Can’t say enough good about this place! Very nice atmosphere and overall feel. Our waitress Zoe said it was her first week there and she was great! Absolutely friendly and attentive, the meal was paced out perfectly from drinks, apps and the meal! 5 stars all the way around will definitely be recommending to others and visiting more often! ”
“ IZUMI restaurant Wonderful place to grab a quick lunch/dinner! Our server, "Leon" was the best!!! He greeted us with a great smile, warm & friendly personality, and very prompt & professional!!!! This establishment is very peaceful, classy, clean, & immaculately decorated! The food was amazing and they served everything fresh & quick!!! 2 full meals with sides appetizer was only 36. We matched Leon's "tip" with the total because he was amazing If 1 can afford it, match the tip cost with your total bill! It really blesses servers, waiters, waitresses, etc, as they work so hard to serve! ”
“ This place blew me away. The service was excellent. Peter, our server had to of been one of the top servers we’ve ever had a restaurant. The food from the little salad to our meal was amazing. And the pricing is good. We went for lunch (lunch specials/deals on the end of menu) This place beats out every other Japanese style restaurant in town. The atmosphere is also very good. I’m so glad there’s music because I hate going into Chinese or Japanese restaurants to hear nothing but people coughing and chewing lol. So it’s nice to find a place that actually plays music so everything isn’t so awkwardly quiet like other places lol. ”
“ We almost left because there weren’t any steak tables. I’m so glad we didn’t. The food and service were excellent. The Hibachi combos came with Miso Soup , Salad , fresh vegetables and Fried Rice . Portions were very generous and excellently priced (especially compared to Florida Hibachi prices ). Food was excellently cooked and hot (except salad, of course ) and so yummy . Can’t wait to go back the next time we are in the area ”
