Izumi Sushi - Table reservation

i remembered this restaurant being one of the best in the area a few years ago, but i will not be back after this dinner. the waitress showed up at our table before we had even looked at the menu, and service was slow for the rest of the night despite being mostly empty. the hand rolls we got were delicious, but one had a black chunk of plastic in it. the yakisoba i ordered tasted like unseasoned instant noodles. i can't understate how bland and off putting they were. we ended up exchanging the noodles for two of the same rolls to go because we were hungry and in comparison they tasted pretty good. surely there wouldn't be another piece of plastic in there, right? wrong! a few bites in i fou...

Came in to an empty restaurant about 45 minutes before closing. Staff was mostly packed up, restaurant empty. Ordered sake, gyoza, a roll and a few pieces from the sushi menu... it was barely OK. Regular menu was sticky. Table was super sticky. Floors were dirty. No staff cracked a smile, made eye contact, thanked me... nothing. Not sure what has happened but I won't be back. This place is on its way out, and if it isn't... customers are wasting their money. Give Ariake a try in Reston and marvel at the gaping difference.

June 2024: Yummy sushi in not too crowded Great Falls, VA. The tempura dinner came with miso soup and rice. Rate that platter an 8/10. Ordered 4 rolls, the spicy tuna roll being the best. Overall also 8/10. Nice dining room and pretty good service. See pics.

Ordered twice cooked pork. It was sweet and not what is traditionally twice cooked pork. The pork was small bits and the rest was white cabbage. Not spicy as indicated on the website

This was $15. Are you serious. Candle for scale. Wow. And then we ordered the duck lettuce wraps and got only lettuce. Wow. Just wow.
