We’ve been wanting to try Izziban Sushi & BBQ for a while, every time we drive by, the lot is packed! We finally went on a Saturday night around 8:30 pm, and to our surprise, there was plenty of parking and the lot was well lit. The restaurant sits right on Lake Barton, which makes for a beautiful setting.
The hostess greeted us right away and explained the menu options. Our server, Asa, was a delight, he also walked us through the two all-you-can-eat pricing choices (both include sushi and BBQ, but one has more meat selections). The restaurant itself is very spacious, with a large main dining room, a big bar, an atrium-style seating area, and another room that looks perfect for private events. Everything was clean and lively, with K-Pop playing on the big screen.
We started with sushi: the Yummi Yummi, Coco Krab, and Spicy Krab rolls. All were excellent, served in four-piece portions, and full of flavor. We also tried the spring rolls and dumplings, fresh and crunchy, the spring rolls were my favorite.
From the hibachi grill, we ordered Marinated Sirloin, Beef Brisket, Gochujang Pork Belly, and Garlic Butter Shrimp. They serve generous portions, and while everything was tasty, the sirloin stood out as our favorite.
To finish, Asa recommended the fried ice cream—absolutely delicious, don’t skip it! After dinner, we wandered into Snow Bean, the coffee shop attached to the restaurant. It’s small and cozy with limited indoor seating, but head to the back and you’ll find a charming patio boardwalk overlooking Lake Barton. With string lights and hundreds of heart locks on the bridge, it’s a must-see spot on its own.
Hibachi style isn’t usually my thing, but I wanted to give it another try here, and I’m glad I did. The sushi alone is worth the visit, and paired with excellent service, this was a great experience all around. Highly recommend 100%!
