Stunning family owned Japanese restaurant. Sashimi was first class and service impeccable. We loved watching the chef slice the fresh fish at the bar
We went out for dinner with some friends and the food took over an hour to arrive. The vegetarian options were almost non-existent, and the sushi was honestly the worst I’ve ever had. We ordered the salmon avocado roll and the salmon was cooked and extremely dry — it looked more like tuna and didn’t seem to be good quality at all. I’ve had much better sushi from street stalls for half the price. I definitely wouldn’t come back to eat here. Such a disappointment!
Itoshin is a hidden gem for true Japanese cuisine lovers. The quality of the fish is outstanding — fresh, delicate, and masterfully prepared. Each dish is a perfect balance of flavor, texture, and aesthetic detail. The ambiance is refined yet welcoming, with a calm atmosphere that enhances the dining experience. The staff is professional, attentive, and knowledgeable, ready to guide you through the menu with care and passion. Whether you're a sushi enthusiast or simply curious to discover authentic Japanese flavors, Itoshin is an experience worth savoring. Highly recommended for those who appreciate precision, tradition, and a touch of elegance at the table.
The ingredients taste fresh. My favorite was the kingfish head in sweet soy sauce. The waitresses are all very helpful, they gave us recommendations and also showed me the pictures of the dishes.
I went for dinner on a weekday. Although after 7 pm many customers came over even though it was a weekday. I recommend having a reservation. I ordered Edamame, Agedashi Tofu, Yakitori, Tempura Chicken Tenderloin, Duck Tataki, and Sashimi Platter. Small salads came with them. The upgraded Sashimi Platter was several pieces with different parts of the same fish, such as belly and back, and different ways of cooking, like raw and grilled. It was interesting to compare the taste in parts and ways. Some vege tempura were stuck together. I may have eaten them too late, sadly they were cold and not that crispy. My best recommendation is Duck Tataki. The sweet soy sauce was a great match for the sliced duck tataki. I couldn't stop eating even though I was already full. Overall, the taste is very good. But compared to the price which I paid, I give it 3 stars. I mean it was very delicious so it was kind of expensive. But there are still amazing dishes I would like to try next time. I am curious about the hot pot that smelled nice from the next table.
