Often topping city ‘best’ lists for its sushi and Japanese cuisine, Izumi’s offers you the best slice of Japan in Milwaukee. And it is THE culture that knows 50 ways to love fish. It is a fish-centric cuisine, so you better believe they keep things interesting. If you’re not in a sushi mood, go with their tempora fish fry special ($12.99) includes a California roll, potato salad, fruit & salad. Shrimp Tempora is another fantastic option. But you must try Izumi’s signature dish: the Misozuke; broiled marinated black Cod.
