We have enjoyed Isshin's for more than five years. Being exposed to authentic seafood at many places in the world, even at the Tsukiji Fish Market in Tokyo, Japan, we must say that this restaurant has a mission to introduce us to real Japanese-style sushi in as authentic way as possible. (Yes, sushi rice should be luke warm and has... More

Walked in with three friends, got sat and noticed a few tables already eating and being served. WE timed 25 MINUTES from being sat down that we were asked for our drink order, placed drinks and order appitizers and mains. The main dishes came out befor the appitizers. First thing when you walk into a eatery is a drink order... More

The Japanese owners/operators prepare excellent Japanese food, and are now offering other Asian cuisine. Prices are reasonable and it is far and away our favorite restaurant.

I have had some bad sushi in my time, but this place sets the new standard for terrible. Fish was flavourless, the sushi rice was actually warm and the unimaginative rolls crumbled to dust the moment you tried to pick them up. It was so bad we went back a second time to make sure they were not just having... More

I've been going to Is shin since they first opened years ago. Far more authentic-tasting sushi like I've tasted in Japan.

We chose Isshin because it looked really busy and modern with its bright, large, open windows and side patio. Wow, were we ever disappointed. First, the service was terrible!! After we were seated for a few minutes, we had to ask for menus. Later, when our first dishes arrived, we had to ask for plates - and we never did... More

Chose this place instead of the place across the road because of the reviews (went to Ginza last time I was in town). Very disappointing. Service was attentive enough but the sushi was some of the worst I've ever had. Rolls were not tight and kept falling apart, mayo left some kind of a weird aftertaste and the whole thing... More
