The sushi and seafood is so fresh and everything is super tasty. Go for happy hour for a great deal but even non happy hour items are priced super well. It’s one of my favorite places in Seattle!

The sashimi was huge and delicious. The various types of yakitori were also excellent. The food came out relatively quickly and was cheaper than in Canada, where I live. Recommended. I want to go again.

Go eat yakitori.
The happy hour menu has been DRASTICALLY reduced to only a few offerings.

Go now.

Food is tasty but very expensive and small portions. The atmosphere is also quite noisy. I didn't get a lot of the camaraderie that one does when eating at these types of hot pot/grill cook-it-yourself places. I think because the noise level makes it harder to have a conversation with your friends and the size of the tables are very large. Maybe some soundproofing?
There are many similar restaurants that give you way more for the same or less money.

I have been a regular at Issian for years. I love the food, the vibe, and especially the people here. Everyone that I took here over the years fell in love with this place too. Issian is my most beloved restaurant in Seattle 🥹🥹🥹

Food was affordable and tasty but it seems that not enough people to handle all customers waiting in line. We saw open seat for at least 10 minutes while waiting but no one come to take us to that seat.

Food and atmosphere here were dope. Service took a little bit, but the place was completely packed so it was understandable and expected, with as many customers to staff as there was. Highly recommend the kalbi beef and the yakatori skewers. Got a hot green tea and it came in a can which I've never seen before, but it was good!

Will definitely be back.

Same with another comment about the wait time… the estimate is completely misleading. we were told 20min and waited 1h and then was told will be at least another 20min until they have seated all the reservations. They should have been more upfront about the reservations so we don’t end up wasting so much time on waiting. So sad that they don’t care about and respect your time at all.
