Isamu - Reserva de mesa

Went there twice for dinner. First time was rolls, sushi, and sashimi. It was alright. Nothing spectacular. Second time was katsudon and other rolls. I think they missed the mark on the assignment with katsudon. Eggs are supposed to be incorporated into the don instead of half of a hard boiled egg. The rice was not short grain rice, but Chinese style rice (sorry, but I am very picky about rice). The texture was just incorrect. The pork was pounded to a quarter inch thickness and tasted extremely dry (it's 33% meat and rest is dough coating), but I guess I won't complain about this part since it's under $14. Feels like someone just saw the ingredients list and think this is what it should be...

I am giving two stars to our wonderful waitress, as for the food I will give a zero. We ordered two Special Sushi Rolls and They should be embarrassed to serve such punny and tasteless expensive rolls. For our main course, we ordered Chinese dishes. Pekin Duck which was a very small duck portion that was dry and burnt. I actually sent it back, not much improvement on the new dish. My husband ordered the Beef and Eggplant in garlic sauce, lots of eggplant, very little beef. Not great taste either. Our companion order Shrimp in Lobster sauce, it too was pretty much not what expected. It was literally floating in rice, the 4 or 5 shrimps were a decent size, the sauce was forgettable ! . Way ove...

It was a very impromptu decision to go here, nonetheless we were pleased with our experience. I really only had issues with two things that I ordered, but it was two big things for me. The first is the overuse of avocado on the rolls. The avocado was sliced too big and overpowered the texture of the roll. My second was the ill prepared kani salad. Most places I've been to make sure the crab meat is shredded and mixed with spicy mayo. My kani salad came out lumped together which was not appealing, and doused with spicy mayo strips on top. A total presentation fail. As for the friendliness of the staff and cleanliness, my wife and I were impressed. I think this is a one and done for us but it'...

Very prompt service here, and I will say, there very on top if you need anything and to ask if you enjoyed your meal. So for the food, best egg drop ever, it was light and warming. To often egg drop feels heavy, but here it's great. So got spicy crab caviar rolls, liked them, but wish it was bit more spicy, love a good punch of heat if it's spicy. Glad the rolls had a lot of crab in them, so not cheap on filling for sure. Now the Oyakodon, the fried chicken was crispy and crunchy with the chicken still very moist even after frying. Rice was perfect. But really wish the egg for this was either fried or a omelette blanket, a hard boiled egg was definitely not way to go with this dish and only... Reserva una mesa ahora

Just moved to the area from Westchester and this was my first shot at takeout. Ordered via DoorDash and got Spring Rolls, Isamu Fried Rice and Egg Drop Soup. The Spring Rolls were somewhat tolerable but still not great tasting. The soup was excessively salty to the point of being inedible. The fried rice was just overall blah and not very flavorful while somehow also being a bit salty. Overall won't be ordering from here again, at least not any hot food I might give the sushi a try since delivery pickings seem slim in the area. It's only been a couple weeks up here and I'm already desperately missing my good restaurants in Westchester!

The broth of the udon soup was light and flavorful, featuring fresh mushrooms, carrots, and bok choy, along with a half hard-boiled egg. To spice things up, there was hot pepper oil on the side, which added a nice kick. I also added some soy sauce for extra flavor. The bowl was generously sized, and I was pleased to finish every last bit. The restrooms were impeccably clean, and parking was conveniently located in a free city lot across the street. While the street parking didn't have meters, it was a bit challenging to find a spot. Overall, it was a delightful dining experience.

You're not in Kyoto anymore Dorothy. It's an Americanized Japanese Chinese menu. It's a relaxed atmosphere with subdued lighting. There seems to be the usual entrees Americans are familiar with: bento, American sushi, some Chinese favorites. Service is good, the place is clean, it's accessible for all. There's no liquor license, so BYOB. It seems they've been here since before the gentrification began. Maybe that's why they named it Isamu. Japanese for courage. They're in Beacon, not little Japan in Manhattan.

Was in Beacon for a short trip with friends, and though we had a list of top restaurants to choose from (mostly American or Italian), I was craving sushi. Was grateful we found Isamu, conveniently located on Main Street. It was not too crowded on a Sunday evening, we were seated near the window. They had a large variety of food on the menu. We ordered a few maki rolls and special rolls it was all fresh and tasty. Service was good. They also have beer, wine, and sake. Reserva una mesa ahora

We both ordered the same bento box and were pleasantly surprised by its size. The meal included miso soup, a garden salad with ginger dressing, and the bento box itself. While I wasn’t a fan of the fried vegetables and found the white rice to be a bit cold, everything else was quite good. Overall, I would definitely recommend coming here!

The sashimi is incredibly fresh! The sushi boat offers a fantastic value and provides a generous amount of food. The atmosphere is decent; it doesn't have the vibe of a sushi restaurant in the city, but it's a pleasant spot for the area.
