I’ve been coming to Isohama for years, and it truly feels like one of those rare neighborhood gems you want to keep secret but can’t help recommending. Tucked away in a lovely part of the Upper East Side, it’s warm, welcoming, and refreshingly consistent.The sushi and sashimi are always fresh, with generous cuts and thoughtful presentation. I especially love their specialty rolls—the Manhattan Roll and King Dragon Roll are must-tries and their tempura is light and crisp without being greasy.On chilly days, a steaming bowl of their udon is pure comfort.

I had a wonderful experience at Isohama! The sushi was incredibly fresh and beautifully presented. The variety of nigiri and rolls in my order was perfect — everything tasted amazing, especially the salmon and tuna. The portions were generous, and the wasabi and ginger were fresh and flavorful. Service was friendly and quick too. I’ll definitely be coming back again. Highly recommend!

I recently dined at Isohama, and it was an experience worth sharing. The sushi itself was outstanding—fresh, beautifully presented, and thoughtfully prepared. Each roll highlighted the quality of the ingredients, with the fish practically melting in your mouth. The chef’s creativity shined through in signature rolls, which offered unique flavor combinations without overwhelming the natural taste of the fish. Service was another highlight light. Overall, it’s kind of place you’ll want to return to again and again, highly recommended.

This sushi is decent but nothing remarkable, and the soup is just okay. The salad wasn’t great. They offer good prices for lunch deals and can satisfy a sushi craving, but the quality and flavor aren’t the best. You get what you pay for. The service is friendly, and they also serve hot tea with the meal. They have vegan options.

I have been to this place so many times before. I always ordered udon with tempura. Today, I decided to try something different today so I ordered fried boneless chicken, Manhattan roll, and a shrimp tempura entree with miso soup. The soup was standard, and with some tofu cubes and seaweed in it. The Manhattan roll was very good. The tuna in it was very fresh. Fried boneless chicken was a little disappointing, it was too thin and the batter was falling apart. However, it was juicy so that was a close shave. The vegetables in the tempura set were delicious, but the shrimps were kind of boring. All the vegetables were all very tasty, there were zucchini, squash, beans, broccoli, eggplant, and sweet potatoes. Overall, I would say it’s a nice average restaurant in the neighborhood.
