Food was quite good, especially the sushis. Service got chaotic at some point and our sushis did not arrive after a long wait but the experienced waiter made it up professionally. read more

Get ready for the best sushi experience! This place is not only The Best in Istanbul, it will rank…read morein top restaurants in any city! How they get such delicate torro is beyond me. I heard it's local catch from southern Marmara. Istanbul is not a high turn place for such delights, but they manage to deliver very high quality sashimi. My visits here have put expressions of delight in every one my guests' faces. Good place to convert a non-sushi person into one who dreams of sushi. I'm not a big roll fan, but this place makes you want more. They have mastered the art of the sushi rice. The plates are not only delicious, but also works of art. Try the otoro sashimi, seared scallops, shrimp gyoza, dragon roll,... Hell, just try everything. Don't let the location fool you!

Then we all ended up coming here together on my last day -- after trying it out with my lady. The filipino sushi chef was everything here. He was so kind, and helpful to my lady who he accommodated with vegan dishes. The toro here is better than many American sushi places I've been to! It is high quality. For the price -- we wanted to buy everything. Lol. Most of all, this place is authentic Japanese food! It is is co-Owned by Japanese as well as Turkish. The chefs in the kitchen are Japanese. No wonder why my Chicken Katsudon was on point. Brought back memories of Japan for me. I truly miss this place already. It's by far the bear in Istanbul as far as authenticity. Can't wait to come back.

They often add new items to the menu, and one of their latest additions was the Hawaiian Poke Bowl that I tried. It was amazing, had a good variety of toppings, the rice was prepared well and had a nice seasoning to it. The salmon on top was delicious. I also tried their sweet and sour chicken, the portion felt a bit small compared with the price, but it was really crunchy and the sauce and seasoning was perfect. I highly recommend Ioki!

But, this was unfortunately the worst of all....The only good thing about this sushi order was the black, thick paper, expensive packaging- They provide very nice packaging and when it comes to the inside: TERRIBLE. Ordered 5 kinds of sushi rolls, simply put the fish were not fresh...the sushi was just like an airport quick sushi bite joint...The fish stays so long minutes in the mouth, chewing chewing......impossible to gulp and digest. It is simply a sushi experience I want to forget. AVOID please.
Hands down the worst omakase experience I have had. This review would actually be 1 star if not for…read morethe fact we ordered the calamari and the karage. Both of those dishes were actually good. The omakase was a different story. While the concepts of the dishes sounded good on paper the execution was not very good in most dishes. I am not going to spend the time going through each dish but I would not recommend this restaurant's omakase to anyone. We didn't try the sushi but everyone else in the restaurant seemed to order the sushi so maybe we did something wrong. I will say the service was not great either. At one point we had a 30 minute break in our meal as they prepared the next course.at minute 20 of the break the operations manager came over to tell us the dish had not even been fired yet. He did not offer an explanation( it was after the prawns and we were waiting on the lamb). So the thirty minute break between two courses disturbed our appetites. Lastly, we had the passion fox cocktail. Rarely does a cocktail serve to lower the score. For how much we paid at this restaurant, disappointment is am understatement.

Authentic, that's how I would describe Itsumi…read more I've been to two sushi places recently, Inari and Itsumi. And while Inari was good, Itsumi has the best sushi I ate in Istanbul so far. It's one of the only places to have gotten the texture of rice just right. I didn't fall in love with every single roll we had ordered on the 30 piece 115₺ sushi platter, but for the most part, it was great, especially the dragon and crunchy roll were heavenly. The menu is authentic, you won't find your beef sushi roll here like other Japanese restaurants which create rolls specifically catered for the Turkish palate. The friendly and attentive staff is authentic, talk to each other in Japanese, there is even a Japanese waitress, so while I didn't particularly like the decor, this place is the most authentic Japanese experience I've ever had in Istanbul. No wonder that Japanese people frequent here. And as far as pricing goes, it really isn't that expensive for a Japanese restaurant of this quality. Certainly not a cheap meal, but if you ever find yourself in Kanyon craving for some sushi, do not, for the love of sushi, go near SushiCo and torture yourself with that atrocity, you deserve better, your stomach deserves better, just go out, walk for a little, and find this place. Your stomach will thank me. However there are a few minor points. They don't serve real wasabi but horseradish like most other places, unlike Inari, which does serve the real deal. The green tea ice cream was too bitter, again Inari is better in this aspect. But this is just nitpicking.

Well as much as Italian food in Istanbul is hit or miss, lets just say japanese food is almost always a miss. Now I know what your thinking, who starts a review with a run on sentence and a gross generalization? THIS GUY! But seriously. I walked into Itsumi, which is almost impossible to describe where it is, and what do I see? About 25 Japanese people eating at the various tables. I already knew it was going to be great the moment I walked in. On all levels, Itsumi delivered. Amazing service, amazing food, very vocal chef who sent us a complimentary dish. We got a bottle of Saki (hot) and about 60 pieces of sushi, a soup and an appetizer split between four people. We walked out paying a 160TL each. Considering the bottle was 225TL, I am thinking this was an amazing deal. Try the fried shrimp app, the miso soup, the seawood soup, and virtually any of their sushi platters. I promise you, you won't be disappointed. Easiest 5 star review I will ever have to write. ps. Shout to TimeOut Istanbul for putting me on to this place. You are finally doing it right.

I order from them regularly and am always very satisfied. Pluses: delivery speed is super fast, quality and taste of food is great. Some sushi rolls (special rolls) come in set of 4, not 6 as usual. It is clearly stated in the menu / in the app - check the number of pieces before you order. If you love tuna try Maguro Uramaki special roll, it's very tasty (comes in a set of 4 pieces for 20TL). Sweet sour chicken is another all time winner. They have an app for iPhone which works well, and there is a translation of all dishes into English! Yummy food, both sushi and chinese.
