  This is our go to Japanese restaurant in the neighborhood!  Reliably good Japanese food.. it is a smaller-ish place but it's clean and enough.  Take out is also a plus as well.  While I wouldn't call it the best it's good enough and still good quality!  The wait staff is also really good and work really hard running around to make sure each customer is good.  Please tip!

  Ishi Shima is located in a strip mall dominated by Lucky Market. Parking is a breeze.
  
  Ishi Shima is a very busy at lunch time. If you arrive at noon be prepared to wait. Service, however, is swift, so you will  be seated without a long wait.
  
  The food comes quickly and is quite good and attractively presented. The portions are ample. The crunch roll is interesting. but the crunch itself, crumpled tenura, is deep fried and excessive. The donburi was rather unsavory due to an unattractive distribution of pale egg on top. Odd.
  
  The dining area is small, but the seating is comfortable and you will not feel cramped. The room is beautifully decorated in a minimalist style.
  
  Servers work fast and hard to keep the dishes coming and the tables clean. The waitresses are friendly and attentive.
  
  Restaurant and restrooms are clean.

  This restaurant used to be good, but I had an awful experience tonight. I ordered a roll and three orders of Nigiri for takeout. We decided to treat ourselves and got a special of O-toro. While the other sushi was fine, the O-toro was literally grey and mushy. I should have known better but put it into my mouth, and it was immediately disgusting. This fish was old, and anyone preparing it should have recognized that it was unfit to serve. The color was wrong, smell was bad, and texture was wrong.
  
  I've been a customer of this restaurant for years, but when you serve a customer food that is so obviously wrong, you break their trust. I would not trust this restaurant in their care of their fish. If they were willing to put this kind of awful fish on Nigiri, I don't even want to imagine what they are putting into their roles. I called to ask for a refund but no one picked up (maybe they were done for the night). In any event, I won't go there again and they really should be ashamed of themselves for serving old fish.

  The food is just ok. I came here only because it close to my work.
  The service is terrible! Unfriendly waitresses keep coming to ask you to pay and to sign the bill around 1:50, because they gonna close at 2:00pm. I really wanna to know if I can't finish my food at 2, are they gonna kicked me out of the restaurant?
  If you wanna have quality Japanese food and services, please do not come to Ishi Shima Sushi.

  I've eating here several times before and they've been great. So I was craving this and ordered to go the other day. The portion sizes to go are not worth it. It's like half the size they give you when you eat In also they don't give you miso soup. If you eat here for lunch don't get it to go. $14 isn't worth it.
