This is the very first restaurant I remember going to as a kid, and twenty years later the same old, cute, kimono-wearing Japanese ladies are still serving food here at Izumi, gracefully shuffling around the restaurant in their slippers. While the service is very, very slow (like I said, gracefully shuffling--expect long waits even on weeknights), the food (very consistent, traditional Japanese) is worth the wait and has attracted a loyal stream of customers who fear word of this place getting out (tough). The dinner combinations are popular and sushi is extremely fresh, but if you get squirmy at raw fish, go for the sake-steamed clams and black cod teriyaki. Plus they have a fun (but very bitter) coffee jello for dessert.
