Average Food and Service: I visited I Sushi when I was in the Broadway and Arbutus area craving some sushi. I was far away from my two favourite sushi houses, one being in Port Coquitlam and the other being in downtown Vancouver so I decided to give I Sushi a try. Upon entering I was greeted by friendly staff who had me seated right away. The décor is very nice and the layout wasn't cramped like many other restaurants. The tables and set up nicely and everything was neat and clean. I looked over their menu and as always I ordered the chef specialties. I ordered the Tata Roll with real crab meat and the Sunshine Roll. With a beverage the total was $25.00, not including the tip. The sushi came promptly but the restaurant seemed understaffed as numerous phone calls, new arrivals and guests wanting to pay and leave distracted the one server. I did not receive my pop until after I nearly finished my order and had to remind her as well. Also, she never asked me if I enjoyed my meal until I was ready to pay. The service itself was genuinely friendly but more staff with better training would have lead me to rate this restaurant higher. Regarding the meal, their sushi was good but definitely not worth the high price. The pricing is similar to many other highly rated sushi houses that I have experienced but I Sushi lacks their explosive flavour and creativity. With so many sushi houses in the Vancouver area it is difficult to become and remain unique but the sushi at I Sushi isn't good enough to warrant it's cost. Overall not a bad place but there are much, much better establishments out there with far better sushi with far better pricing, and most of all better service.
