" Last week I visited Izen's for the first time. The atmosphere was cozy, even if the seating was tight. I ordered the bibimbap and some sushi rolls; both were quite enjoyable! The spicy tuna was flavorful. I just wish the restaurant had better spacing between tables; it felt a bit cramped. Still, the food was satisfying, so I’d definitely consider coming back for a casual lunch. " (*Curated Review*)

" Delicious sushi but a chaotic environment. Ordered three rolls, all of which were delicious but the atmosphere was so crowded I found it hard to enjoy my meal. Felt like it was a challenge just to get between tables. Service was good; they were friendly and helpful despite the hustle. Would recommend it for takeout but eating in is a bit too stressful for me. " (*Curated Review*)

" I finally tried this place after hearing so much about it. The sushi was very good, and the pricing was spot on, but I found the portions a little small. I ordered a couple of rolls and was still hungry after my meal. I loved the friendly staff and lively vibe, but the space felt cramped. Nonetheless, it’s worth a shot if you want tasty sushi at a good price! " (*Curated Review*)

" Absolutely loved our experience at Izen's! The sushi was fresh and beautifully presented. I had the Spicy Tuna roll and it was bursting with flavor. The staff was friendly, and we even got some recommendations from them that turned out to be spot on. It's a smaller place, but the atmosphere was cozy and inviting. The prices are fantastic, especially for the quality of food we received. Definitely a must-visit if you're in the area! " (*Curated Review*)

" I went to Izen's Drunken Bento last weekend and had a delightful time! The sushi selection is impressive and the rolls are creative and delicious. I had the Sunday Morning roll and elevating it with some sake made it a perfect pairing. The atmosphere was chatty and warm. It can definitely get crowded, so I’d suggest making a reservation if you can. Service was attentive and really friendly! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a fantastic meal here! The service was very attentive - we didn't have to ask for anything. The sushi was fresh and flavorful, and I particularly enjoyed the unique twists on traditional rolls. The price point for the quality offered is hard to beat! A little crowded but definitely a spot I would recommend to anyone looking for sushi. " (*Curated Review*)

" A charming sushi joint! The rolls here are made with fresh ingredients, and you can see the chefs at work. I had their fried roll, and it was delightful. The place gets quite busy but for a good reason; the value is there for the price you pay. However, I wish they would offer more traditional Korean dishes. " (*Curated Review*)
