Izumi-ya Japanese Marketplace

For takeout, I ordered the following items: - Spicy salmon don/bowl ($6.95): This dish included spicy salmon, imitation crab, and a generous serving of rice. It was flavorful and not too spicy, offering good value for its size, with around two to three ounces of salmon. - Spicy tuna don ($6.95): This dish featured spicy tuna, imitation crab, and a large helping of rice. - California Roll ($3.45): The taste was average. - Ginger ($2.53 at $1.25 per 100 grams) - Ahi tuna sashimi ($14.01 at $4.49 per 100 grams): The fresh tuna was purchased to make my own poke bowl.

If you're in search of an authentic Japanese establishment, look no further than this place. They offer a variety of interesting Japanese products, but what really stands out for me are the food items: Nigiri, Rolls, Donburi, Noodles, and Bento Boxes. Everything is made fresh daily, making it ideal for a quick and satisfying lunch. There is also a small seating area available if you prefer to dine in. Definitely worth a visit.

I had a wonderful experience during my first visit to Izumiya since they downsized their store. I was impressed to see that they now have a wider selection of lunch boxes and side dishes, including octopus, squid, seaweed salad, fried vegetables, and chicken nuggets. Everything was fresh and delicious. My favorite dish was the chirashi don, which offers a generous portion of sashimi and sushi rice at a reasonable price. I also highly recommend the fish bento box. I definitely plan to make frequent visits during my lunch breaks in the future!

They down sized, but still have some good Japanese food items that you cannot find at Yaohan or T&T. There bento(lunch box) are great too.

We were told that Izumi ya was a Japanese all you can eat buffet serving home cooked type food. As we were in the area, we went there for lunch on a Friday at about 12:30 PM. We subsequently learned that the restaurant is called Izumi Tei Japanese Buffet that is located in the Izumi ya Japanese Marketplace. The buffet cost $11.99 for adults, 9.99 for seniors (65+ , 5.99 for kids (4 9 free for 3 and under. When we were there, there were around 10 people in the restaurant. There were 3 buffet tables set up with various hot food, soups fresh cut fruit. The hot food included amongst other things, lots of fish cakes balls (fried steamed , tempera (a white fish, squid, mushroom , butter clam, chicken teriyaki, beef curry, steak tofu, rice, egg rolls, gyozas, baby bok choy, miso soup and spicy egg drop soup, There was also a small selection of sushi. I latter found out that if you wanted salmon or tuna sashimi, you would have to pay extra. I think it was around $6.00 more per person, but didn 't ask if there was a limit at that price. Too finish off your lunch, there is soft vanilla ice cream to be had. The food was like what you would have cooked at home. It was okay the price was right. It appears to be a one person show, as the lady at the till was also the one checking on the buffet tables cleaning the customers ' tables. This is a cafeteria type restaurant where you help yourself like any other buffets, but you 're clearing your own plates getting your own water or tea.
