Issmi Japanese Restaurant

Hidden gem sushi spot. I got their special set which consists of 14 nigiri. Each one is uniquely garnished like at a fancy omakase place. Great value.

Came across this hidden gem while walking through the neighborhood. The space was cozy and inviting, and I really loved the lighting, each table had its own overhead pendant. The decor was thoughtfully done and tasteful without feeling overdone.

The menu was huge but in a good way, so we ended up ordering sets instead of picking individual items. We got the sashimi bento box, which came with a generous portion of tempura, a sashimi boat for two, and the Issmi special sushi. Everything was beautifully presented and clearly well thought out. The sashimi was fresh, and we especially loved the variety in the Issmi special sushi, each piece felt different and interesting.

Cozy space, good lighting, generous portions, attentive service and food that actually lives up to how it looks. We even had the chance to meet the owner, who stopped by our table to check in, super friendly and welcoming, which really added to the experience. I will definitely adding this to my go-to now.

If you’re in the area and reading this review, do yourself a favor and try it. Trust me.

One of the best sushi restaurants I’ve ever been to. I’ve visited multiple times with my girlfriend, and each visit has consistently exceeded our expectations.

The rice:fish ratio is honestly the best I’ve found compared to other places. My personal favorites are the Hako Pressed Salmon and the Blazing Roll, but you really can’t go wrong with anything on the menu.

The owner and staff are always friendly and welcoming, which adds to the overall dining experience. Definitely our go-to spot whenever we’re craving sushi. 😎👍🏻

The sushi was fresh, beautifully presented and the best taste. The service was friendly, attentive, and welcoming. From start to finish, everything was perfect.

The sushi and tempura dinner bento was excellent. The shrimp and veg tempura was light and crispy. The california roll was appropriately sized for the amount of food in the bento. The sushi tasted fresh and was varied.

Overall, would eat again.

Delicious sushi and presentation. Cozy and comfortable setting inside. I would come back again!

Food was over rated. Operation was chaotic. Robot to deliver food only to be taken by another table who the robot stopped by ahead of us. Waited too long for orders. This is the most chaotic place we had ever been. Will not come back.

Sushi for 2. Yummy and pretty. Karage was good too!
