What people say, in short
Sushi Ishikawa is recommended across its Upper East and Upper West Side locations, with the latter shown here. One Upper West Side visitor especially likes the food and service, and a different diner praises the unconventional omakase style without specifying a branch. Other fans place it above the budget tier. The creative approach is part of its appeal, rather than a reason to assume it suits everyone seeking a restrained, traditional sushi meal.
