Izumi Japanese Steakhouse - Tualatin

Amazing food and amazing cooking! This place is dirty and very sticky. The waiting staff was dressed trashy and was visibly dirty. We waited for our meal for 45 minutes to start and we were the only ones there.

Worst service ever, we asked for a dinner combination so that I and my husband could pay for a meal and still get the same amount of food, and when it came time to pay, they made the greatest excitement because their server could not hear us. So they tried to pay us for two separate meals that will be $71 when we shared a meal that should be only 29. The place was dirty as hell the chefs/kitchen were rude, and he didn't ask us if we had any allergies. I'm allergic to mushrooms, and everything I could taste was mushrooms. Don't get going again!

While we simply had to have Hibachi in some place on holiday. We used Google to make an opinion and came to review this place. Our boss was very entertaining and friendly. We didn't have to wait until our table was filled and sitting immediately. The portions were huge, the ingredients fresh and we left fat and happy.

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.
