Iso Sushi — Restaurant in Tokyo

So glad I didn't wait inline for sushi Dai hype... The quality in food is identical with less wait at Iso. While the line outside Dai barely moved, we were the door crashers at Iso-- what a treat at 610am. Best sushi meal for me, and I have had plenty before. We had uni bowl (heavenly), tuna bowl and assorted sushi. Came with hot tea, prawn miso, and snack for beer. Just awesome. Wish I had a spare tummy. I really give out 5 stars, and i hesitated to rate Iso 5 stars because I don't want words to get out and it would become another crowded Sushi Dai. But the friendly service, superb food and intimate atmosphere are just too good. Oh, why do I say the sushi was good? Well, when you see how old the sushi chefs were then you...

Excellent Tsukiji sushi, seems popular with locals, not a tourist trap. The lady's menu was great, my wife ate everything. I had maguro zukushi (three different kinds of tuna plus six tuna rolls) which was also very good, but something you most likely not get at home.

Be adventurous. The fish is so fresh and good that even types which you won't eat in other places are worth it.

Miso soup and tea included.

For a smooth experience for guest and chef alike, 1 guest = 1 set. No cheapskate meal sharing! With only around 10 seats, seats are dedicated for...

Too many issues. Not quality fish or service and there appear to be much nicer places in the food hall. You can tell from the moment you sit down. I got the 10 piece nigiri set. Here are some issues:

Way too much wasabi. I’ve never had seen so much applied. The proportion was way off and it overpowered the fish. The uni was not fresh. It was brown. The otoro was closer to a chutoro. The staff slap down pieces 3 at a time on your plate. It felt rushed. And the quality showed. None of the fish...
