Izziban Sushi & BBQ

"i went to izziban for the first time today for a valentines day date. the service was absolutely fine, we had a very nice woman serve us. and the interior was very cutesy. i loved the jinro frogs in the entrance. my only complaints are regarding the food. i ordered the beef brisket, bulgogi beef, crunchy shrimp roll, and the las vegas roll. the beef brisket and las vegas roll were both really really good. the bulgogi and crunchy shrimp roll on the other hand, were not to my liking. the bulgogi had a very weird smell and taste to it. it smelled a bit rotten and tasted very off. i always order bulgogi beef when i go out and have even made it myself. i felt genuinely nauseous after eating it. the only thing about the roll that i can say was the seaweed was very very rubbery and just kind of tasted like publix sushi right before closing. everything i got from the salad bar was delicious, though. especially the japchae and the vegetable pancakes. my boyfriend’s food was all good, he said, but he didnt love it. (he ordered gochujang pork belly, chicken, spicy krab and another crispy roll that i cant remember)."

"The price went up again, but everything else also went up in prices. For $35/person, its not bad as its unlimited meat, rice and have good selections of salad bar. Family and friends are always here whenever we want a nice dinner, whether its a birthday or special occasions."

"Izziban is one of my favorite experiences. I brought my family of 6 and we all had a great time! You select your meats and sushi, collect your rice, salad and favorite sides, and begin! I may thinking, “why pay money to cook your own meat?” To that i say, “why not?! It’s a lot of fun and I hope try it!” The food and service is wonderful!"

"A lot of the interrior was a little dull. Most of the food came in a very wet sauce so it just boiled and you couldn’t get any color on the meat or get it crispy. Sushi was good but way too much rice. The roll was closer to 80% rice and only 20% actual ingredients. For $43 a person the food quality wasn’t worth the money in my opinion. Service was very good."

"Well this was definitely an experience. First off you should know they charge you an extra $20 if you don't finish your food. They charge you $20 if you bring home left overs. This is an "all you can eat" $35 pp with some buffet style appetizers. As a small person who doesn't eat that much this already made me hate this place. I ordered ONE bowl of food and it was enough for two people. So your telling me I have to eat all of it or I'm getting charged another $20? I already cooked the food, it's mine, I pay the $35 and I take it home. That's how it should work but no. The waitress was useless. We asked how to do anything and her answer was "you know whatever". We didn't find out until our meal was over that she was supposed to oil our hot plate. We found out by watching her do it to another table. We asked for a side of rice and she never explained to us it would be family share size. We ordered 3. She would bring us our food and disappear. The meal took 45min longer than it should have. She didn't tell us there was a call button until our meal was over. The food itself was boring. It was bland and tasteless. I could've just make myself some meat at home with more flavor. Just so weird. Half our food was burnt bc there was no oil on the grill. Just not fun at all."
