Izumi Japanese Steakhouse

Let me preface this review by stating I'm obviously a moron...I had planned a date night with my wife for a concert in the park, but when we got to the park it was just a bunch of kids playing soccer. Turns out the concert was last night...no, this isn't the first time I've done this. We decided to try something new and my wife picked this place randomly off Yelp. When we pulled up it was about 6:45pm and it looked like it was closed. We walk in and no one is at the counter. I poke my head around the corner and see no customers, just a woman sitting. She comes and politely greets us and seats us at a table. No one is in the restaurant...like not a single customer. I'm extremely skeptical at this point. My wife says we can go somewhere else if I like. I hemmed and hawed a little, but said nah let's try it. Worst case is we have a story to tell about a bad experience. We place our order, very reasonably priced. The cook comes over with his cart to make the food. He's a jovial guy, with a good sense of humor. Makes small talk and puts on a good display. The food at this point is smelling good. I gotta tell you, this food was incredible! Absolutely delicious! So much better than I expected!!! And so much food too. I've got lunch for tomorrow. This place was 45 minutes away from my home and we will be back without a doubt!!Once again I am taught a valuable lessons...don't judge a book by its cover...

Good little Ramen house with a sushi menu. My wife liked the pho, I liked the sushi.The service was quick and friendly, the ambience was good, clean and well-maintained. Prices are typical for the area.

All 3. Cook was pissed about having to work, food was mediocre, and show the part we love about ichiban was underwhelming. We won't be back and would not recommend this to our friends.

Came here for my husband's birthday and had a great time. The service was friendly and once we ordered they were fast to get to preparing and the chef was very playful and fun to watch. I did the steak with calamari and my husband did the steak, shrimp and scallop combo and they were both very tasty, especially with the light dipping sauce provided. Our chef was funny and made our experience very enjoyable, and even showed us how to do a signature Soju bomb. He did a great job with our preferred steak wellness and the veggies were charred nicely. Then, everyone came around and sang my husband happy birthday and treated him to a slice of cheesecake which he loves. My only complaint with the entire experience was the food was over salted, left a little bit less seasoning to be desired. But ultimately, better over seasoned than bland! The decor could be a little nicer, we were sat next to a very dusty fan blowing on us but the overall ambiance was clean and comfortable.

We've come here to celebrate my husband's birthday for the last few years, though we do not admit it's his birthday to avoid the singing.I like the hibachi here better than Benihana, and it's never busy even though it's good. They don't seem to have effective air conditioning so beware if you come during a heat wave.I've had chicken, salmon, scallop, and filet mignon, and they've all been great. I recommend spending the extra for the fried rice. The ginger sauce is great, but I've never been a fan of the white sauce.The showmanship of the chefs isn't the best, but this is a perk for me. I just want well cooked delicious food, and I've gotten that here pretty consistently.

Such a fun date night experience, especially with a funny host! Beautiful pond nearby as well to take a walk around.

6 of us stopped in for dinner. We did make a reservation, so we were seated promptly. I would recommend making a reservation as the restaurant is fairly small.I was really craving hibachi as it had been a while, but unfortunately we were rather disappointed. First sign of concern was our chef was new which was not an issue until the owner (I presume) stayed by his side the whole time pointing to him what to do which made the dinning experience rather awkward and made it difficult for our group to carry on a conversation. We definitely weren't treated to the "show"as we saw happening at the other grills. Our chef kept his head down and never acknowledged during the meal. The owner did all the interaction.For the food, I ordered the chicken and shrimp and asked to add scallops. The rest of the group ordered some combination of steak, chicken, shrimp, or scallops. All of us agreed that the food was bland with very little taste and the shrimp and chicken were way overcooked. The chef used little oil so everything other than the steak stuck to the grill. Additionally, the vegetables were comprised mostly of onion and very little anything else. To top it off, I did not initially get my scallops as they were split between the other two people who ordered them. No big deal. When I asked about the scallops the owner hurried back and got some and threw them on the grill. The chef tosed them around for less than a minute and then served them to me. Needless to say they were not cooked all the way which caused me to not eat them.Will we go back? Probably not.

We came here for dinner as a family of 4. There is a bell that says "ring for service" when you walk in at the hostess stand. Rang the bell twice and waited for 10 mins, no one ever appeared. We left without any service. The restaurant was open and empty. Unfortunate, as we have eaten here before and really enjoyed it.

The old owner was so personable. Our server this time seemed annoyed to have us sit down. The food was good but when I checked my credit card 2 days later, I was overcharged $40. Didn't receive a receipt to take home. So disappointed! Not like it used to be and needs a lot of improvements to make me come back.

We went for dinner tonight and were excited to see them opened again. They were closed for a while due to damage from the ice storms and we were so glad to have them back! Their fried rice is my favorite and the staff is so friendly. Food was delicious as always. You just can't beat the quality, service and prices compared to the other Japanese steakhouses in the area and it's always much easier to get a reservation for dinner.
