  • "Didn't think this place was TOO spectacular. Especially for the prices. Some sushi was better then others. Staff was overall nice. Atmosphere is better then other restaurants, esp sushi places in milw."

  • "Really fresh and good sushi. They have high quality traditional sushi and now have introduced some more "modern" rolls. I just think of it as Quality for a bit less than some of the trendier places in Milwaukee."

  • "I was insanely disappointed in this restaurant. We read and heard from so many people that this was the best place for sushi in Milwaukee and after being too about five other places this was by far the worst. We got in at 7, no one was at the front of the house to seat us. Our waitress came to our table after 15 minutes and it took 45 minutes to get our 6 rolls. Our rolls were falling apart, the soy sauce was really watery and the rolls were all about 3 inches long, which for $10 was a horrible deal. Also the screaming kids ruining around the restaurant didn't help either. Sorry guys, I would never go back. By far the worst sushi I've had in Milwaukee"

  • "Over and over again the freshness of the sushi is always at a very high level. Before or after a movie at the Historic Oriental Theater this is a solid good choice for great Japanese food."

  • "Best sushi in the city... Maybe the state. I've loved this restaurant for 20yrs. It is wonderful. Our family celebrates most of our special occasions here."

  • "Izumi's was fantastic. The wait staff was super helpful and their suggestions were delicious and fantastically prepared. Over all a rookie sushi crew's first rate experience!! Will recommend Isumi's to anyone looking for a unique sushi experience."

  • "I have been going to Izumi's since it opened in 1988 and it has always been my favorite place for sushi."

  • "Yeah, of course it is not as good as in Japan, but there is nothing better in Milwaukee!"

  • "I ate here for the first time this past weekend and it was great! The rolls were delicious, though the pieces of just tuna we had tasted a little odd. The service was excellent and we were checked in on enough times to get everything we needed but not too much as to be annoying. We had some of their ice creams for dessert and that was great too. The only negative I have is regarding the ambience. The chairs were not super comfortable and there was NO music playing so it made the place quiet but almost TOO quiet. Other than that, the food was great and not TOO expensive and everyone that worked there seemed very nice. I would definitely go again."

  • "As four first-time visitors to this Japanese restaurant the waitress was extremely helpful in explaining the intricacies of this large and expansive menu. Our food selections were outstanding. Servings were plentiful and well-presented. Very enjoyable dining experience and we will definitely return to sample some of the other enticing sounding meal options. Off-street parking lot is a big plus in this busy neighborhood. Overall a very positive experience."

  • "I have been going to Izumi's for years and have always enjoyed my experience. I brought a "newbie" with me and was very excited to have him try a favorite dish of mine... only to find out that they were out of it... we picked a second option and that was not available either. We were very disappointed, but our waitress was great in suggesting a third option - which turned out to be wonderful!"

  • "I came here with a group of seven for a early birthday experience. the waitress was excellent and hospitable. I felt nervous for her because we are slightly obnoxious but she was so patient with us. Izumis called me the night before to offer me the private room and I am so thankful that offered that! The food was excellent and I will definitelyT come again."

  • "I was excited to try Izumi's because I saw that they made the top places to eat in Milwaukee in 2012. The service was very slow and things came out at random times. The food was good but I will most definitely be sticking to Nana's or Thai namite in the future. The rolls there had far more flavor. Im not saying that it was bad food, but it isn't my favorite."

  • "Boyfriend and I went early on a Friday night before catching a movie down the street at the Oriental. The food was fantastic and plentiful. The wait staff was attentive and kind. Overall it was very enjoyable for a casual date night."

  • "Izumi is our very favorite for Sushi. The ingredients are always fresh. Some creative nuances to our Japanese cuisine experience are new to us. We noticed the couple sitting next to us selected many of those items which they requested be served on a single large plate to share. We plan on doing that next visit. We like the Green Tea ice cream as a dessert."
    Dined on 8/14/2013
  • "The waiter forgot one of the appetizers. And then one person in our party received at least 10 minutes before the other three people. The restaurant wasn't incredibly busy, but the kitchen or waiter were not able to keep up and serve tables in the order they arrived. The food was decent and I would go back, but I would make sure I had plenty of time and patience."

  • "Consistently the best Japanese restaurant in town. Quality of fish is always good. Fujiko and her staff are always hospitable!"
