Izziban Sushi

Do you enjoy cooking your own food? You don’t, then order sushi. If yes, this is the place for you. What was once just another strip mall sushi res... more

I love this restaurant! I eat there at least once a week (mostly during lunch). Their lunch Bento boxes are a great price ($9.50 for two entrees, rice, soup, salad and a piece of crab rangoon!) and I love their sushi. I would have given them five stars, but I have had my order mixed up maybe once or twice. However, I don't let that deter me from this restaurant. I'll keep going back because it's a great deal, with great food, and a great atmosphere! more

Izziban has some really tasty Japanese food and their sushi is just amazing. Their bento box specials are so delicious and beautifully presented. The sushi is out of this world as well. They have many fancy rolls and traditional shashimi platters as well. My favorite is the cowboy roll (beef and avocado with spicy crab, conch, and scallops on top) and seven samurai roll (seven types of fish on top of a spicy tuna roll). The servers are very nice and great with recommendations. The only downside is the location is prone to traffic because of the construction going on in the roadside. Other than that, this place is my new favorite! Pros: everything, beautiful interior dec! Cons: construction being done in the area causes some traffic more

I went the second week of November 2009 and really enjoyed the sushi here, but our waitress never came back to our table once after dropping off the food. The table next to us was drinking and obviously spending alot of cash, so they seemed to be getting all of our her attention. Also, the men's room floor was so sticky that my shoes made noise all the way back to my table. I will likely return, as the food was fantastic, but I expect more service and cleaner restrooms. Wednesdays appear to be the night to go, as they have lot of specials going on that night. Pros: Incredibly tasty sushi Cons: dirty restrooms, innattentive staff more

I've been going to izziban for quite a while now, but never actually ordered from the kitchen. I considered izziban as my sushi spot, which their sushi is very good-but after trying their Japanese dishes I was amazed at how good they were. After trying their bento box combinations for 3 days in one week, I brought in my cousin here for a surprise birthday. The whole family loves Izziban now and cant thank them enough for their warm hospitality and delicious food! Pros: Execellent Japanese cuisine more

I love trying new sake with my husband whenever we can have an oppportunity to try something we've never had before. We are amazed at how many high quality sakes are available at Izziban. They have a great sake sampler deal for only 10 bucks for 3 shots of different types of premium sakes that pair with ...either it was chicken or pork, then beef, and saefood. I would recommend the Sho chuku bi and Kurosawa sakes! Pros: Great Premium Sake Selection more

This is the second time I have been to izziban for sushi and they were both enjoyable. I arrived at 5 for their happy hour sushi for $3.50. Nice atmosphere good service more

Izziban Sushi offers my favorite sushi rolls. They have such creative rolls that all taste so good...I am seriously ...officially addicted to this place. The sushi they have is at such a great value. The best times to go are during the early parts of their happy hour, they tend to get very crowded once it gets rolling. Try the the izziban roll and the mango roll...those rolls are to die for! Pros: Best Sushi Rolls....sooo delicious...i'm hooked! more

I love to go buy sushi as much as possible, and this place makes it possible. I have only been able to go here twice now, but both times have been absolutely amazing. Me and my wife came here on a busy Saturday afternoon when the Florida mall was packed, as soon as we stepped inside, the whole atmosphere changed. The setup is very nice, modernistic, yet still is able to hold the Oriental styling. Even though it was partially busy inside, it still seemed very quiet and relaxed. The waiter was very courteous (Have not been able to sit at the bar yet), and the suishi was very good. I have only been to one better place I feel, and that was while I was visiting up in Maryland. This will be my new favorite restaraunt for some time to come. more

Sushi is my favorite food and I have visited planty of Japanise restaurants. Izziban sushi is the best! They have an amazing naturally relaxing atmosphere. Naturally because when I come there I feel like I am at home. Guys working there are very nice, friendly, and know exactly what they do. Manager is coming everytime to make sure that everything is fine. I have always been choosing a table, but they also have a sushi bar where you can sit and watch how they make sushi. Talking about food I have to mention that all dishes are nourishing. My favorite roll is Sunset roll and when eat I can feel the taste of every nutrient in it - soft rice, gentle salmon... It is not just a bunch of products together which have no harmony. There is a huge choice of rolls, sushi, sashimi, drinks, and so on. Izziban sushi always makes good offers such as happy hour, or discounts on holidays. Plus their location is very easy to find. It is right in the corner plaza on Sandlake and OBT crossing, next to Florida Mall. This place is great for any occasion, whether it is a B-party, family or business meeting, romantic dinner, or first date. Thank you Izziban! more

We love this place. My husband and I dine here at least once a week during their happy hour. We sit at the sushi bar, order 4 or 5 rolls and 2 or 4 nigiri pieces off the happy hour menu and spend around $25! And the sushi is delicious! The company is good too...the sushi chefs are friendly and engaging. Pros: Happy hour and lunch prices Cons: Regular prices more

if your by the florida mall, try Izziban. I've been here just a few times before they started their happy hours, and they are always consistent with their quality of food and good service. I thought once they started happy hours that they would cut back on the quality and layout of their dishes. but i have to say that i am impresed with izzibans integrity and loyalty to their customers. they have a cool card you can get for free for repeat customers. I can;t think of any place that offers something like they do. its worth the visit. Pros: customer loyalty, beautiful everything Cons: service can get slow when they get a rush of customers..,but its understandable more

I love eating sushi, but like everybody else I dont have unlimited amounts of money to spend on sushi...which is unfortunate....BUT I love looking for great Happy Hour deals when I can. I've found other places before for cheap happy hour sushi, but that's exactly what you get...Cheap quality messy sushi....Not here. Wow. I was amazed at their $3.50 specials. Izziban delivers on fresh D-E-L-I-C-I-O-U-S quality and beautiful presentation. Their Happy hour deals are the best in town. I've been going nearly everyday for the lunch early bird 11am-12and dinner happy hours 5-7. Much props to Izziban. I'm Officially ADDICTED to IZZIBAN. Pros: I'm lovin it Cons: Get there early for Dinner Happy hour, it gets crowded fast... best to sit at the sushi bar more

Honestly...i'm a HUGE sushi fan! I've eaten sushi everywhere in orlando and i'm happy to say i finally found the best sushi in town! i can hardly wait to go again! it's all so so yummy! make sure you get there from 3-7 during happy hour. rolls are $3.50!!! along with many other things! amazing sushi!! more

This place makes city search feel reliable...Izziban Sushi is amazing-the menu has a lot of authentic Japanese dishes....the appetizer menu alone is full of yummy traditional delicacies. The wasabi shumai and cream cheese dumplings (crab rangoon) makes my mouth watering for more just thinking about them. They have every type of sushi roll you could ask for. I went there with my friends twice in one day because it was so damn good. We love to sit at the sushi bar and watch the sushi chefs make sushi. There are screens at the sushi bar that plays movies and slideshows of customers to watch as you enjoy your sushi. Try the pineapple sake cocktail...that was awesome, best "saketine" I've ever had. The decor is fresh as their sushi. As far as the music goes, I guess they've updated it...lol glad we didn't have to listen to 80's music. a must go for sure! more

I agree with the review below...the music is tacky and very distracting. The decor and layout of the place is really nice. Service is just ok. the menu is great and I really enjoyed the rolls we ordered. I also orderd white tuna sashimi which they gave you a nice cut of. Pros: selection of rolls, great tasting sushi Cons: service and music more

Afte reading reviews and hearing about thier sake 2 4 1 my husband and i decided to go. I am a big fan of Shari, which I highly reccomend, however Izziban is much closer to us and Shari can get so crowded at times. The decor was way cute and the space was big and airy. It was a nice change from the so small sushi joints around town. We started with the fried calamari which was excellent. it came with 2 dipping sauces which were good as well. My husband got the chicken tempura which came with a huge bowl of miso(which was the best i ever tasted) and a nice portion of ginger salad. The portions are huge. AS for the sushi, the poritons were huge as well. The prices are a little more than average but once you get your meal, you see why. My roll had soo much fish in it which was awesome. usually places skimp on that and give you more rice ..not here. Everything was really good and the 2 for 1 sake and wine was a plus. one compaint!! the music. it totally didn't go with the atmosphere which is trendy and chill. Lionel Ritchie, Celine Dion, ect played the entire time. It transported me to a skating ring back in the 80's!! A nice ambiant or electronic mix would have been nice. I want to go back but hopefully they change the station! Pros: the poritons, freshness and decor Cons: the service, the music playing more

izziban was very impressive. My girlfriend and I stumbled across this place on accident looking for what use to be saucy bellas (italian restuarant)....was slightly disappointed that they were not here anymore, but I love sushi anyway so I gave it a try. defintetely loved what they did with the decor and new liquor bar and sushi bar. I got to sample several sake's and now I know my favorite is Kurosawa. We would definitely reccoment the izziban roll, that was our favorite. Our server was very friendly and was very attentive. I guess it varies customer to customer, but we definitely had a great time and will be back very soon. I hope they stick around longer than saucy bellas did, because there aren't very many good sushi spots like this nearyby. more

I know a better place... After reading these reviews I decided to go with my husband to Izziban. We love sushi and sashimi and we are regular customers of Oriental House (in the opposite corner of OBT and Sand Lake, next to Outback). We liked the first impression of the restaurant (modern and nice) although not many people. We asked 5 minutes to read the menu and we started ordering. When we asked for a recommendation of sake, the waiter was not very sure about dry or sweet. Summarazing, it took 30 minutes for us to start drinking. Then, the food took 40 minutes (1 sashimi sampler, a salmon skin roll and Izziban or Hawaian roll). Two of these were fine but the 3rd was immerse in sauce of maionaise, ketchup and cream cheese. Then we decided to ask for Happy Roll and this was fast because they were already closed. The roll came ok but cream cheese or other cream in excess. We like japanese food and sushis but we like when we can feel the taste of everything, not a mask of cream. I recommend you try to find Oriental House and you will be surprised how good is the food, how intimate is the atmosphere, wiaters have knowledge and price is honest. Pros: Decor Cons: Excess of cream cheese and mayo more

This was a very refreshing experience. I went with my girlfriend last wed night because my friends have been telling me about this new sushi spot. The decor was very easy on the eyes..simple and clean. The restaurant is very openly spaced and has a very peaceful vibe to it. The food was very big in portions and very delicious. Kitchen food and sushi rolls was presented very nicely. The music and the overall atmoshpere is defintely a plus for anybody who wants to go out on a nice date. Prices were reasonable comparable to any other sushi resaurant in town. more
