Izumi

I had a lovely evening at this place. The ambiance was good, though a bit noisy at times. While the food didn’t quite live up to the high expectations, the overall experience was pleasant. Our waiter was very professional, attentive, and helpful, which made a big difference. I would definitely visit again.

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Izumi Restaurant & Lounge is an absolute gem! From the moment I stepped in, the ambiance struck me — sophisticated lighting, modern décor, and a relaxing vibe that’s perfect whether you’re there for dinner or just drinks. The service was superb. Our server (credit to *Marie* / *David* / *Josephine*) was attentive without being overbearing, helping us choose from the menu and keeping everything running smoothly. The food was outstanding — every dish was beautifully presented, packed with flavor, and clearly crafted with care. The fusion of local and international flavors was well balanced, and each bite was a delight. The cocktails were also top-notch — creative, refreshing, and served precisely. Izumi creates a truly elevated dining experience. Whether you want a romantic evening, a classy night out with friends, or just exceptional food and drinks, this is the place to go. I can’t wait to return.

The waiter doesn’t know about the food on menu and is lack of training ! I came with a child, order the sushi and told waiter not to put spicy sauce because all the food is sharing with baby He came to tell me my mock dock is out of stock so I changed to spring roll He didn’t tell me it’s spicy And I gave to child once it’s served One of the manager came and ask if I want replacement , I said yes But this waiter came to me told me the spring roll is too many PCs I can’t replace ??!!! Why one restaurant have two answer to client ? Why this waiter doesn’t have knowledge of informing client the food is spicy when client specifically told him the food doesn’t want it spiced ? Good mood is complete ruined by this waiter service Add another noodle and it’s extremely salty I ask a hot water so I can remove sauce Waiter serve the HOT water from child side (!!!???????)

A great spot in Kampala, unexpected! Both the sushi and the cooked food is good. We enjoyed a variety of rolls, my favorite was the avocado salmon. The tempura was tasty too! The atmosphere and service is nice. If you make a reservation, while the place is very open for lunch, you can sit in the nice cozy chairs up front.

This is the second time i am coming to this place, but i will not be back for a 3rd. i don't know what happened this time because the first time i had come the food was good, so was the service, but now it was not even edible. I had to attend a meeting at 8pm and i sat at the table at 6 pm to have an early dinner, and i was expecting to leave by 7pm, but the waiter i think he was daydreaming i told him i want a small nigiri with basil pork dim sum, but he brought something else, and all of this took 2 hours. Also the food plus drinks came out to be 120,000 ugx for 5 items and 2 food items, they have 100% tripled prices since i came here in 2023. The food was also really bad tasting, and I would leave myself to starve than eat whatever i ate again. Would not recommend at all, and has had a big fall down since 2023. forgot to mention the sound was so loud, its like they were performing a rap song here.
