   We understood the ambiance was not great but we were surprised at how basic the restaurant was. We actually changed our minds on what to order based on cost and ambiance. Was not going to spend 400-500 in a cafeteria looking establishment. Overall the food was good to very good. The fish was very fresh. The crunch tasted very stale to me Vs crunchy. Wasabi was sparingly provided. We ordered a few of their larger rolls and found them bland. The spicy roll wasn’t very spicy. The red dragon roll was exceptional. We have had sushi around the world (and in Japan) and this was good only. Fish is flown in from Japan but the cost/value based on everything didn’t seem to fit. We went early so no one in the facility. It definitely should NOT and business causal. That was not needed in my mind. Patrons who wish to order take out can’t order from a person. They have to stand on the sidewalk and use the QR code On the door. It was the strangest restaurant we ever visited. Unfortunately we would not go back. Wine mostly by bottle only. A few half bottles. Saki prices were crazy. But my biggest issue was the waiter (and assumed owner) put a mandatory 20% tip on bill. I personally was going to pay in cash - abut we didn’t even have an option. Never - in even the finest restaurants does a party of 2 get a mandatory tip added. I was gonna just give a 50 - but he lost out and annoyed me at the same time

   Excellent combination of fish. Fresh! So tasty. If you like sushi, this is the place. It’s not long on ambiance but the quality of food is amazing.

   After seeing the reviews, my partner and I went to iSushi with a bit of trepidation, but with an open mind. I can say with confidence that this place is fantastic. While we were originally planning on doing the 15-course omakase, we opted for a la carte at the sushi bar. The wait staff was incredibly courteous and helpful in making our meal selections, and the sushi chefs were a delight to have there. We started with the tartare of bluefish tuna with wasabi tobiko, which was very delectable. We then went for some hamachi sashimi and a fatty tuna roll which were as fresh as ever –the fish melted in your mouth. We then had the mount Fuji volcano roll which was as visually pleasing as it tasted. We capped it off with a very tasty cut of octopus sashimi. All-in-all, it was a wonderful experience. We will definitely put it in our to-do list the next time we are in Puerto Rico.

   The location is not very island like as it is in a strip mall with views only of the street; however the food and service were spectacular. The staff was very friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable of the menu. We were a little surprised by the location and appearance, but we were very pleased with the food and experience.

   Didn’t get one of our order… and then got charged for the item we did not get and and also charged twice for the tip! They automatically add 20% tip to the bill and so I got charged twice on the bill… so a 40% tip automatically added to the bill. So if I didn’t review the check carefully, I would have paid for the item we did not get and also double for the tip. Also ridiculously high prices for really tiny rolls. If you are are hungry, don’t go here to get your tummy full because you will be disappointed.

    We are sushi lovers and always have sushi whenever we travel including Japan. Fish was very fresh and well prepared Japanese Mackerel was superb, Uni was also probably the best you can get in PR but to overpriced and portions are a bit smaller than usually expected. Overall very good experience but a bit on the pricey side.

    Highest grade sushi—rivals the best in the world; but not a high end atmosphere and extremely expensive. So if top quality sushi is what you care about to the exclusion of other characteristics of a restaurant, then this is the place. Personally, I will be back with enthusiasm.

    It was completely empty on a Friday night, which is rare. It was cold inside as most restaurants in Puerto Rico are. The food and service were outstanding but it was very expensive.

    Jeffrey & his team deliver the highest quality sushi & fresh fish experience on the Island of Puerto Rico. It is hands down our first stop for dinner every trip. The quality of the food is consistently top tier and on par with fine dining fish experiences in NYC. The fish & sake is flown in directly from Japan and you can taste the difference. Try the Otoro hand roll, you can’t go wrong with his extensive menu.

    This was simply awesome. The food was excellent, great choices and flavors. Our server Ms Hebe was wonderful. Polite, professional and welcoming. She continuously checked on us to make sure everything was to our liking. The Sake flight was wonderful. The manager came to our table and presented each Sake and explained the difference. Really good and very educational. Strongly recommend to make a reserve since it seemed like all tables were reserved. Will certainly return. Thank Ms Hebe for your attention and excellent service.

    We navigated to this restaurant after learning that they are the only sushi restaurant in Puerto Rico to import their fish from Japan. Can’t lie, we were intrigued. We ordered the king Salmon roll and the chef sushi special for 2. The fish melted in your mouth like butter. The yellowtail was delicious, tuna a little fishy but still tasty and the salmon was incredible.

    I have been to many sushi places from mediocre to fancy ones but never gauged before as we were here last night. I get salmon avocado roll everywhere. Here they charge $1 extra for avocado on top of a $10 salmon roll which was a measly prepared roll with a ton of pressed sushi rice. We asked for sea urchin eggs, they said they have it. She said that they prepare four pieces. It came in a small miso soup spoon after we finished our meal just before I decided to cancel it. It was fresh but they charged $26 for a spoonful sea urchin eggs (their four pieces were chick pea sized). Their seaweed salad was not special at all, right out of Costco’s container. We were hoping to have a better experience but it was super expensive for less than moderate sushi.

    We use fresh King Salmon, the finest salmon available, which is not the inferior and less costly salmon you get “everywhere”. You did not ask for Sea Urchin eggs, you asked for Ikura, which is salmon roe. You requested them as sashimi, hence no rice, and we served not one, but FOUR spoons of Ikura. We pride ourselves on the fresh high quality fish we fly in biweekly from Toyosu market in Tokyo, and this is costly, but for us, quality is of utmost importance.

    Best service we had on the island, hands down! We went for a birthday dinner and truly had an incredible experience! We ordered the sushi combo deluxe for 2, which was a perfect portion. The Japanese wasabi and the sake were great as well. What really made the experience great was the service. Our server was attentive, nice, friendly, and we saw her just enough. I will come back next time I’m here.

    The omikase is the best sushi I have ever had in my life. The kobe beef literally melts in your mouth. They have REAL Japanese Wasabi and it's amazing. Service was extremely helpful and polite. They even gave us a complimentary glass of great Japanese whisky when they learned of our recent engagment.
