Izumi Japanese Steakhouse and Sushi Bar

Went here for our daughter’s birthday. We had a good time with family. This was our first time here.They will not start serving you until everyone is there and seated. The food is ok. The sushi is not great, it’s about what you get from a grocery store. Very dry. The hibachi chef was entertaining to watch, but if you have been to a hibachi grill before, you know what to expect. For a first timer it’s entertaining. He cooked the shrimp perfectly, however, he cut the scallops in half and overcooked them my husband said. You of course sit with other people to fill up the entire space. Which is very cramped. (No bubble space). Let alone a way to get in and out unless you go straight in and straight back. The service was was alright, but not wow, especially since it was our daughter’s birthday. But you could apparently “ purchase “ their cake. No thanks, not exactly their specialty. PLENTY of rice for everyone. My daughter enjoyed herself is what counts. We are accustomed to better food. This place is actually very expensive. Compared to a lot of other places. You usually pay the waitress however, ours was busy. With the other side of the hibachi so we paid at the register. CHECK YOUR RECEIPT , we had a group of 7. GRATUITY WAS ALREADY INCLUDED. Most restaurants start adding their own gratuity at 8. But they are all different. We will probably not return on our own, unless a family member chooses to come back for an occasion. This was a one and done for us. We can get much better food elsewhere for a much better price .
