"When everyone requires Japanese food but that's about as far as the conversation got, try Issian. For one friend who just wants to split fried snacks and kushiyaki, you can do that. For another friend who exclusively is interested in a sushi feast, you can do that too. Plus, vegetarians have a lot to like about Issian, with plenty of options involving tofu, eggplant, and natto. When the night calls for a tornado of tasty plates to hit the table on repeat (or alternatively, a massive hunk of broiled salmon belly), we can't think of much better for a group meal in Wallingford. Just try to make a reservation in advance if you can." - aimee rizzo, kayla sager riley
