Izumi Japanese Steakhouse - Tualatin

The food here is fantastic, and the cooking is top-notch! However, the cleanliness of the restaurant leaves much to be desired; it was quite dirty and sticky. Additionally, the waitstaff's appearance was unkempt and not very professional. We also had to wait 45 minutes for our meal, even though we were the only customers at the time.

I had the worst service experience ever at this restaurant. My husband and I requested a dinner combination so we could share a meal and still receive the same amount of food. However, when it was time to pay, the staff created a huge fuss because their server couldn't hear us. They insisted on charging us for two separate meals totaling $71 when we had only shared a meal that should have cost $29. The place was incredibly dirty, and the kitchen staff were rude. They didn’t even ask us about any allergies, and I’m allergic to mushrooms. Unfortunately, everything I tasted was full of mushrooms. I will not be returning!

We definitely wanted to enjoy Hibachi during our holiday, so we consulted Google to find a good spot and decided to try this place. Our chef was incredibly entertaining and friendly. We didn't have to wait long for our table and were seated right away. The portions were generous, the ingredients were fresh, and we left feeling full and satisfied.

For $50, I had a perfectly prepared fillet mignon and scallops over fried rice with sauce vegetables and the most ingenious and personal feeling (almost concierge like) service. Not only was the cook one of these charismatic and entertaining types, but the owner himself has seats, serves and gives you recommendations for drinks based on simple smaller preferences and unloves. I did not have this kind of experience and service anywhere I can remember, and I am a great foodie and hard critic of fine restaurants and restaurants. My wife and I dine regularly, weekly, as we've worked very hard to earn the ability and privilege. So I don't suppose to spend my money easily. $50 is an expensive meal, but this includes the 18% service fee that it is earned and earned at this level of service. I can't tell enough how really brilliant that was. If you are looking for this special fine culinary experience, do yourself the favor and come here, trust me you will not be dissatisfied. The showmanship from the cook is just the right amount without this swaying feeling. He prepared everything in this careful way that ensures that each product is cooked exactly on specification. It's fun to watch him close the objects and move between them while making the funny anecdotical joke and a show. Also, you should really try to die some of their Saki options, the Yuzu and Cucumber Saki are for in summer heat! I almost didn't want to make this review, honestly, because this is such a jewel of a place and I don't want to make it hard for me and my wife to come, but we literally went on a Sunday night, provided we eat dinner earlier than most, about 5pm, so we probably beat every rush.

This place is great! Wonderful food, service, and entertainment. My experience here was much better than in Benihana, no waiting of two hours for sitting and a quieter environment that allows me to have a conversation and relax (I hugely appreciate this). The food and drinks were excellent!!! The cook was very personable and created a memorable and fun experience. I?ll definitely come back with family and friends.
