This is my go-to Japanese restaurant in the University Area. The food is delicious and fairly priced, The sushi is great even though i don't eat sushi and has a sushi bar. Also to to left of the sushi bar is a Bar with very cheap drinks! The waiters and waitresses are not too invasive and will not distract your conversation while they are dropping off food or refilling drinks. Also have ordered takeout from Ishi many times, Mmmmm thinking about it makes me want to eat there tonight! The environment of Ishi is not so super nice and almost looks outdated and unchanged over the many years of great use! I don't mind it at all, Its always great to step out of the normal upscale places i frequent.
