"First things first: Happy hour is where it's at. I was trying to decide between 3 and 4 stars (the consensus according to the aggregated Yelp rating) and decided to give 4 stars because of the HH pricing. 3 rolls plus an appetizer for $35 is hard to beat. Coming from CA, my wife and I have been trying various sushi restaurants looking for the best balance between price and quality. Izumi's happy hour is a pretty good contender. We got there at 5:45pm (HH is 4-6), but our waitress was great and let us know that we should pick what we wanted so that we could get our order in before HH ended. We ended up choosing the Albacore Delight, the Crunchy Monster, and the Go Duck rolls with Agedashi Tofu as our appetizer. Agedashi Tofu is one of our favorite appetizers, and Izumi's didn't disappoint. The potato starch batter was just crunchy enough, and the sauce soaked in perfectly. Personally, I wish they had added a little bit more of the fried fish flakes on top, but that's mostly a me thing. 5/5The fish and rolls are fairly good, but nothing outrageous. I'm sure that the chefs had a rush at the end of HH, so I'm willing to let it slide. The tempura shrimp in the Go Duck roll wasn't as fresh as it could have been, so the batter wasn't crunchy. The avocado, tuna, and salmon on top were good, but couldn't compensate for the lackluster tempura. 3/5The Crunchy Monster surprised us, since it was only 5 pieces. It might have been indicated on the menu, but I didn't notice. It lived up to its name, though. This roll was thick and the crunchy topping was great. I probably would have given this a 4/5 if there had been more than 5 pieces. 3.5/5The Albacore Delight roll was the best of the three. I'm not a huge albacore fan, but the fish was fresh and the flavors melded together nicely. 4.5/5 Of the three rolls, this is the only one I'd order again. Although the first two rolls were fine, I'd rather try some of their other rolls."
