What travelers say:
Izumi Izakaya is my favorite among all Japanese restaurants. There is no other. There are two branches, Chaoshan Street Branch and Olympic Sports Branch, both are pretty good. Oh, by the way, it seems that there is also a branch in Kuanhouli, but I haven't tried it. I love their sushi rolls and eel rice the most. They are really delicious without any bugs.

Izumi Izakaya is my favorite among all Japanese restaurants. There is no other. There are two branches, Chaoshan Street Branch and Olympic Sports Branch, both are pretty good.

The taste is good and the seafood is also new. The taste is good and the seafood is also fresh. I often go to this restaurant. Overall, it is good. The environment is also good, but it is a little crowded. The service is also good. The salmon is very fresh. The overall quality is very good. I will often go to this restaurant in the future.
One of the most popular Japanese restaurants in Jinan, the downtown store was always hard to get a seat when it first opened. After the opening of the Olympic Sports Center store, the area has expanded a lot, and you don't have to worry about waiting for a long time. Sashimi is highly recommended, the quality is stable, salmon, sweet shrimp and Arctic scallops are almost a must-order for every table, the ingredients are fresh, the portion is large enough, especially the thick cut salmon is very satisfying. If you catch the cold weather, have a hot beef hot pot with crispy and tasty fried chicken, and you will feel warm all over.
Jinan's relatively stable Japanese food, but not outstanding. Except for salmon and tempura shrimp, the others are not highly recommended. "Potato salad" 18 yuan, the salad made today tastes a little lighter, but the mashed potatoes are more delicate. ★★★ "Thick-cut salmon" 68 yuan, quite fresh, the fish is delicious, and thick cuts are more satisfying than thin cuts. It is one of their more recommended dishes~★★★★ "Karaage fried chicken" 28 yuan. It is a little different from the karaage fried chicken I remember. The chicken is not marinated, the skin is crispy, and the dipping sauce is a combination of two salad sauces. I personally think it is a bit greasy. ★★★ "Sweet shrimp sushi" 28 yuan. The shrimp meat is very tender, and it doesn't feel greasy like salmon. The price of 28 yuan is a little expensive. ★★★ "Tempura rice" 68 yuan. The shrimp is only the best part in the middle, but the fried shrimp is not crispy enough, and the lower part immersed in the egg liquid has water entering it, so it looks greasy. Maybe I missed the best time to eat it because of taking pictures, but I think his tempura rice is the best I have eaten in Jinan ★★★★ "Eel Rice" 88 yuan. The eel rice that I have been looking forward to was served last. It may be that I was too busy to remember it. It came up after I urged it, but when I ate the middle, there was a bite of bitter fish meat. I don’t know what happened. Overall, the eel rice did not meet expectations. It was very ordinary, and the sauce was not flavorful enough. It is recommended to cut the eel into sections and place it. It is really laborious to eat the whole fish meat in one piece because the fish skin on the back is difficult to tear. The additional miso soup is very salty, but miso is salty. My personal taste is too light, and the kelp is a bit hard. ★★ The homemade plum wine presented is not bad, sweet, low in alcohol, suitable for girls. ★★★★
After arriving in Jinan, there are only two Japanese restaurants that I like the most, and Izumi Izakaya is one of them. The ingredients are very fresh and the service is good. It was my first time eating there, and I rushed from the west to the east to eat there, but the taste was super good, and it was worth my hard trip.
