IZU Hibachi and Sushi — Restaurant in Bluffton

I always enjoy Hibachi but tonight we were very disappointed in the quality of the food. We sat at a regular table which was perfectly fine. For appetizers we had the Bang Bang Shrimp, Calamari and Fried Dumplings. Besides the Dumplings the rest was horrible. For the main course we had the Hibachi Steak and Shrimp. My two kids had the plain chicken fried rice.

I am not sure what quite happened but the steak was off, the shrimp was tough and the fried rice tasted old.

Our waitress was very nice hence the three stars.

No doubt I will return as it may have been a bad night but I will make sure we sit at the main grill where I know the food is cooked fresh and see if that is...

Tawdry, annoying atmosphere. They use a prerecorded, awful happy birthday song that blasts so loud it’s like an assault. The staff were eager to please but the young server we had showed no sense of dining experience. She clumsily served our salad and soup together and then entree three minutes later. We didn’t have time to enjoy anything. Our food got cold while we tried to pace ourselves. The hibachi entree featured so many nearly raw onions it was inedible. Canned stream of music was interrupted by commercials. Altogether not worthwhile for a Friday night out....

This was our first visit since the name/owner change. It was my wife and I along with our almost 3 yr old toddler. I had sushi and my wife wanted Hibachi so the 3 of us sat at a Hibachi table. We each had soup & salad and my wife had Filet & Shrimp. The Salmon Sushi was simply AMAZING and very reasonably priced. As was the Spicy Tuna roll. Our son had Edamame and the cook & owner really enjoyed watching him break them open, dip in Soy Sauce and eat them all on his own. My wife’s dinner was expertly prepared and tasted GR8. We are already planning...
