Never will we have thought that a local Japanese restaurant serving decent sushi would arise in the western suburbs! Located next to some of our favourite restaurants, we finally had the chance to try out Izumi.
Pricing for the sushi in our opinion is fair and if even, absolutely worth it despite others comments. Regardless let us uncover each dish. The spicy tuna was our disappointment of the night. Don't get us wrong it was good, just not great. No real saucy flavour and way too much rice (sticky variant) compared to tuna ratio- the rice overbearing the flavour overall. The other Sushis though were very good. The salmon rolls were fresh and decent, almost comparable to your typical hand rolls, however the soft shell crab and aburi salmon shun. The soft shell crab was our favourite and we would recommend getting two of these over the spicy tuna. Fresh, crispy, succulent and very flavoursome with the sauces and seaweed used. An absolute must. The aburi was thick, using the belly of salmon and was melt in your mouth good.
As for the Japanese tea, this was great to help ease it all down as we finished with a delightful mochi icecream- that was most likely unwrapped from the freezer, but still good! Recommend this place for the soft shell crab and aburi salmon.

Me and my boyfriend was there for lunch last week. The restaurant decorations was nice. It gives you a feeling of Japanese . The food was great everything so fresh except the oysters.
Came here with friends for a night out, pick a lot of food, plus had vodkas, and it cost us $25 each. Bargain. And the food was absolutely delicious, we will be back, this time making room for dessert.
