Reviews for Izu Sushi Japanese Restaurant in Long Branch, NJ
Totally unremarkable place. Food was okay with a broad menu. Atmosphere was 'strip mall'. Didn't realize it was BYOB.
I understand veggie sushi isn't technically sushi, but I'd love if there was equal passion in how it's prepared like the real... deal. Hard rice, unripened avocado..... Over $15 for two rolls with ingredients that are not quality. I'm bummed.... Read more
I?ve been coming here for years! Seriously over a decade and it has been consistent. It?s my favorite sushi spot and owner,... Paul, is so sweet. He is great and always Loves seeing returning customers. Read more
TLDR: very good, but nothing exceptional. Pretty good sushi! We got cucumber roll, sweet potato roll, and spicy crab roll. The... sweet potato was tempura and was very tasty. The cucumber roll and spicy crab rolls were alright?good, but nothing special. Thedishes were served on paper plates which was odd. The salad was served in a to-go box with the dressing on the side?also odd. Iguess it is for pandemic reasons. The service was alright?nothing exceptional?and the place was very clean. It wasn't too busyfor a Friday night; all of the tables were taken but there wasn't a wait (we went around 7pm). I'd recommend coming here ifyou're in the area looking for some pretty good sushi!

I came to Izu sushi, and I had the Thai Beef Curry! And it was just sublime! I totally recommend it!!!
After looking for a new Japanese restaurant to try around the area, we stumbled upon Izu and it was a nice find. The service was... sub par as our server was very meek and rushed, but the food tasted delicious! Their chicken katsu and their ginger pork wereabsolutely amazing and they gave huge portions. Their sushi was good (I forgot which one I ordered but it had crab and lobstertempura) but it had a little too much rice for my liking. The only thing that made this a 4 star visit was their plating whichwas mostly disposable forks and plates for the appetizers (such as the soup and salad). I would totally come here if I waslooking for a filling meal. Read more
Right next to the Ocean Ave 7/11. Convenient parking lot. Very fast takeout orders, all my orders were ready in 20 minutes. They... also took my call/takeout order 11am on a Thursday fyi. never dined-inside the restaurant though. They always havecomplimentary dishes too, like cheese wontons or edamame. Quality is your typical strip-mall sushi. Read more
Good sushi, nothing to write home about. We got the shrimp tempura roll, cooked spicy tuna roll, and dynamite roll. Dynamite was... a 5/5, shrimp tempura was a 2/5 and cooked spicy tuna was a 1/5. Read more
