Yosh! This time around we go to a new place in the Beaverton area:
Name: Izakaya Sushi
Location: 14605 SW Millikan Way, Beaverton, OR 97006
Type: Sushi-go-round
Izakaya sushi is nested in a new strip mall area along Millikan Way in Beaverton. It's actually not that hard to find and those of you who are familiar with the Beaverton area should have no trouble spotting it.
Outside it didn't look like a sushi-go-round place at first, and we were a bit surprised that it was. I was happy it was since it means faster food turnaround (no pun intended) and selection time.
The setting is very nice and modern. They do have some funky bar seating though, but it works. We got there a bit early but food was out fast and lots of selections to be made.
This is one of the sushi-go-rounds though that I noticed so many drinks on the sushi trays (mineral water, energy drinks, juice). Which is actually neat I think, since you have a quick-drink selection on hand and ready to grab at a moment's notice.
The food is good too, nice selection. They have this 'sushi pizza' which was a good concoction. They allow for customization of the existing selections to cater to your needs. In our case, one of my good friends is allergic to salmon, but she wanted the sushi pizza. Our server immediately mentioned to us that they can have one made without salmon, and so my friend ordered that. It's nice of them to offer information like that, so that people get to be aware of such an option available.
They also have a wide plate/price selection, from $1.00 up to $3+. Serving size is typical and fresh.
But again, our ever elusive Takoyaki is not to be found. We were told that they did have them at one time but then it didn't catch on and some of the customers (not familiar with Tako) thought they were creme puffs and of course to their surprise, it ain't.
So far with the sushi-go-round places I've been, only two serve Takoyaki - Marinepolis Sushiland and Sushi Train (both of which I will do a writeup in another blog).
To summarize the Izakaya Sushi experience:
Food: 5
Quite good. And fresh. Satisfied customer.
Price: 5
Another sushi-go-round with a wide price/plate selection. Good for budget-conscious folks!
Selection: 4.5
The variety is there - don't forget to try the sushi pizza! (But alas, no Takoyaki...again...)
Service: 4
Service is good. We did come at a 'non-peak' time, but we were attended to promptly and courteously.
Appearance/Presentation: 4.5
Another modern looking interior design. Their conveyor has an 'aluminum' motif which adds to that overall modern look. It was making a 'squeaking' sound though at times, at our corner of the bar.
Overall: 4.5
Recommended for all sushi fans to try!
Itadakimasu!! :-D
