Issa Sushi in Worthing

Amazing food! Super polite and attentive staff! Love the lay out- very intimate and not overcrowded. Best sushi I’ve ever had and the gyozas are delish!!!

Recommendable place to eat within Worthing! The food isn't just great, its excellent! I had the Sashimi and Sushi together with it. Along with the customer service big kudos to the restaurants manager Lissa and Marta for the additional excellent service. In short, give Issa a try! It is worth it!

The food was great, flavourful, and authentic. The Tom Yum soup had a great balance of spiciness, sweetness, and tang but very few prawns. The garlic and basil squid stir fry was great, and the Katsu curry generously portioned and not overly sweet. The decor is lovely, and the service was fast. Being such a nice setting and having such a vast and authentic menu makes this restaurant stand out as the best Asian place in town. Service was fast and efficient but lacking some friendliness and warmth to earn 5 stars. Overall, it is definitely one of the best spots in town and worth checking out.

This is such a good restaurant. The food is amazing and so fresh and tasty. There's a good mixture of sushi, bento boxes, ramen and curries and more. It's great value and the staff are kind and welcoming. We will be returning again soon.

Huge shout out to LISSA and Marta! Definitely deserving and done incredibly great! And of course to the chefs in the kitchen( everyone’s so friendly and good)! 💕❤️ Issa Sushi has quickly become our go-to spot for authentic Japanese cuisine! From start to finish, every experience we’ve had here has been top-notch. Service: The staff are incredibly attentive and friendly, making sure every detail is perfect. We often place pre-orders, and it’s impressive how they always get our order exactly right, with everything prepared and ready on time. Food: Absolutely amazing! The flavors are fresh, vibrant, and truly authentic. You can tell each dish is crafted with care and high-quality ingredients, making every bite a delight. Whether it’s sushi, sashimi, or their unique rolls, Issa Sushi delivers an authentic experience that’s hard to find. 100% love it! Highly recommended for anyone craving outstanding sushi with service that makes you feel like a VIP. Ps. We have been pre-ordering food too! Considering we only have 1 hr lunch at work! Definitely worth PRE -ordering here!!!

Great food, good selection, superb service. Well worth a visit.

We ordered a selection of dishes for the menu and shared them between 3. We also had another 3 dishes but we ate them before I got a picture! 😆 The prawn and the crab sushi was the best sushi I'd ever taken! X

Lovely greeting great food and good value for money .

It’s an odd one this…..we love Japanese food, it’s more art than cuisine. Unfortunately this place isn’t art….. The food isn’t “dreadful”….at least the taste is ok. It’s just rushed and messy, not the usual skilled perfection you associate with Sushi…...but saying that, if that was it, this would be a 3 star review…. But…. When I walked in, being an open kitchen, I saw one of the staff filling his face with food, while standing over what ever he was cooking….I watched him shove a hand full of what ever, ( including an boiled egg) into his mouth, wipe his mouth, then carry on cooking…no hand washing after his fingers had been in his mouth.. ….he just threw the plate of food he was eating from next to where he was cooking and carried on cooking… Of course, then its on my mind. I wipe everything at the table with a tissue….the cups the green tea came with were disgusting inside…..and why open the chop stick packets? Surely leaving sealed when bought to the table is more hygienic? Am I being fussy?… not after what I saw perhaps… I’m not a finicky person….but I’ll not be going back…

Absolutely fantastic place to eat in Worthing, amazing food and service every time. Try The Worthing Roll alone for great tasting food experience but everything here is great

My favourite Kyoto set. Yummm! Happy with the food however one of new waiter very rude and lound and no maner. She was thinking we are Filipino. I don't know if I was and then what🤷‍♀️. Are you treated people differently. I was shocked with her behaviour!

I took my son here for his birthday aw week ago, the service and food was unbelievable. Thanks again.

Went here years ago and then again recently. Id forgotten how great this place is. Pretty sure this is the best place for Asian food in town. Tell tale for me is always the batter. Here it's light and dry not thick and greasy like some places. My wife loved the sushi. Presentation was great. Also the food prep is on display immediately as you walk in. Everything always fresh. Staff were also wonderful, going over and above. Will be going back sooner rather than later.

Every time we have been to Issa, absolutely everything has been fantastic. We've had various sushi rolls, appetizers, Thai dishes, etc and it is all wonderful. The service is prompt, and friendly. Truly one of the best places to eat in West Sussex.

One of my all time favourite restaurants not only in Worthing but anywhere! Consistently fantastic food, with a wide variety of dishes and pan-Asian cuisine to choose from (apps, sushi, ramen, stir fry, bento boxes). The service is always friendly and personal. Great prices for such quality! I can see why they won best Japanese restaurant awards!

I have eaten here several times and always came away well fed and relaxed

This restaurant sells both Japanese food and Thai food. We ordered a lot of food and they all tasted great. I especially fell in love with their sushi rolls. In terms of the convenience, they could provide better toilet facilities and the light interior was a bit too dim.😌😌

A truly poor example of a sushi restaurant, delivered by people who maybe overheard someone talking about sushi and thought they would try out opening a restaurant. Tempura batter with butter in it - great for making cakes, not so good for proper light, delicate coating you'd expect for tempura vegetables, a miso soup with egg in it, usually just tofu and wakame suffices for a delicious broth, uncrispy crispy duck as the signature dish, not much more to say about that. If your standard sushi experience is Itsu or maybe a Sainsbury's meal deal, then you might think this place is amazing. This was a wholly unsatisfying experience.

I ordered via Uber Eats and I wish I hadn't. The sushi is honestly the worst quality I have ever had. Where do I begin? The rice was soggy as if it had been watered. The rolls themselves were so poorly put together and the filling... what filling?! There was barely anything... the rice to filling ratio was seriously off. They had even padded it out with daikon. These people must be making a killing with the price of it! The crab was super greasy and smelled like it had been cooked in gone off oil.. and the miso aubergine was full of seeds. all the plates had seaweed strips strewn over and plenty of green tobiko eggs. For the price of this place I wouldn't put lime green dyed eggs all over what is supposed to be premium sushi. Never again! This is the Taco Bell of sushi.

Visited today for the first time and the food was amazing! The staff are polite and friendly, and received a warm welcome. Fantastic experience. Will be back again! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Ate here tonight for the first time for a birthday celebration. The food was delicious and the staff went above and beyond. They were extremely attentive, welcoming and friendly. Will most definitely be returning!

The place is good, been going there since it opened. Noticed lately that the food is not as good as it used to be, more and more feels like it has been adapted to suit the local taste - huge bites, impossible to put in your mouth, mayonnaise sauces.....it no longer has that authentic fresh taste. I wonder if the time has come to look for other sushi restaurants in Worthing???

We recently visited Issa Sushi in Worthing and had a mixed experience. The quality of the fish is good , and the tempura being light and crispy. However, the Issa Dynamite dish was a mess and it just doesn't make any sense (see photo). It was supposed to be crispy tempura battered prawns, but they were drenched in a thick, sweet and spicy sauce that made the batter soggy and the prawns could not hold their shape, they were falling apart and it was just a soggy horrible mess. The rice was overcooked and mushy, not something I'd even serve myself at home. To top it off, I was given the wrong drink. The staff were friendly, but the overall experience wasn't satisfactory, and we likely won't return.

Super food, excellent service. would recommend

Fantastic!!! Sushi we went for my wife's Birthday Great service Amazing food 5 Stars 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

I recently dined at Isa Sushi and it was an exceptional experience from start to finish. The ambiance is warm and inviting, with a modern yet comfortable decor that sets the perfect mood for a delightful meal. The sushi here is absolutely top-notch. Each piece was a masterpiece, crafted with the freshest ingredients and a meticulous attention to detail. The variety on the menu is impressive, catering to both traditional sushi lovers and those looking for innovative, unique rolls. One standout was the Dragon Roll, which perfectly balanced flavours and textures. The fish was incredibly fresh, practically melting in your mouth, and the accompanying sauces complemented it beautifully without overpowering the natural taste. The service was impeccable as well. The staff were friendly, knowledgeable, and attentive, providing excellent recommendations and ensuring that our dining experience was flawless. Additionally, the presentation of each dish was stunning, showcasing the chef's artistry and passion for their craft. Overall, Isa Sushi is a must-visit for sushi enthusiasts. Whether you're celebrating a special occasion or just in the mood for some high-quality sushi, this restaurant will exceed your expectations. I can't wait to return and explore more of their exquisite menu.

We go there for lunch and we like it but we were disappointed about the takeaway service. More often than not it is not available on deliveroo (or other platforms) and the one time it was on deliveroo we ordered for a specific time - couple hours ahead - and they decided to cancel after the delivery was due. We called the restaurant directly and they took our order but when we got there to collect it wasn't busy so confused as to why they cancelled earlier. In addition they decided to tell us it's cash only and they were quite rude about it - they could have told us earlier when we placed the order over the phone so we came prepared.

One of my favourite spots in Worthing, the ramen is amazing

Menu can be a bit intimidating if you're not familiar with this cuisine but staff are helpful. We didn't book but were lucky, so probably best to. Food was beautifully presented and served quickly. Very tasty, so nice for something different. Worth a visit 👌

The quality of the food more than makes up for the lack of atmosphere

Good food, came quick and decently priced, thank you just what I needed

The sushi is too complicated, loaded with sauces. Did not like the chef at all. The rice is mushy. It's not worth the money.

Been there more than 5 times now, the food is amazing, proper sushi place, stuff polite and helpful. Place to go if you want a proper sushi. 🍣

Always great food at Issa sushi whether it's dining in or take away. Such fresh ingredients and so delicious. I love all of the menu!! Can't get enough. Feel really lucky to have such a restaurant in Worthing. I think my favourite is the Worthing rolls and crispy duck rolls 😋 and the gyozas were yummy! Honestly can't praise them enough 💗

Great food we had the Kyoto set,Pad Thai, tempura and gyozas. I totally recommend.

I've honestly been looking for a massaman curry to compete with the one I had in New York over 2 years ago. At last, I've found one! It was insanely good. We tried the sashimi and a mix of other things, all were perfect. We'll definitely be back.

Food was amazing and affordable for its price! Staff were friendly and cooperative including the managers! Would recommend!

yea it's ok, sushis is mid, cuirries are nice, ashai on tap, service is OK, nothing terrible, just mnot amazing either. caters well for large parties

This is our go to place for Mummy Daughter dates. The food is delicious and the service is fantastic

Food doesn't always taste the same, but it's still tasty 😁

The best Sushi in Worthing. Consistently good. I have eaten here several times. Portion size is generous.

Food here has never disappointed me, always go for my standard and has always been consistent! Fantastic food, Great servers, Cute décor, And the prices are reasonable for the quality which is always 10/10 Can't wait for my next visit to Worthing to come back!

Ordered a takeaway...30 minutes after eating, I was taken very ill. Luckily I had only eaten a 3rd of what was delivered. I continued to be ill for the rest of the evening. I tried ringing the restaurant but the telephone number advertised came up as invalid so I emailed the restaurant. They did not respond. I emailed their sister restaurant they also did not reply. I had no expectations as I am a very reasonable person. However, I am disgusted that they could not be bothered to respond to me. I continued to have had a bad stomach for a week. Luckily, I am fit and healthy!

Least authentic ramen ive ever had. Egg was hardboiled and grey, chicken was tough and unusual selection of veg. Side orders were good however. Avoid the ramen as you will be let down if you have had decent ramen before.

Didn't even get to eat the food due to foul customer treatment, we booked for 7 they made us wait and tried to tell us we arrived early when we had not, they persisted to argue about what time we booked so we left and they slammed the door on our way out, totally disgusting attitude right from the beginning to end, places like this deserve no business and have no place in worthing, totally shameful. We proceeded to have a wonderful meal out round the corner with no waiting times.

Excellent authentic food. A proper restaurant, not just a pop-up in a shopping centre.

Fantastic evening meal. First time visiting for me following a recommendation. I enjoyed their Kyoto set (sushi selection) which was presented on a wooden boat! My wife also enjoyed a Vegetarian Bento box. 4 star atmosphere rating only because it wasn't particularly busy for a Saturday evening. Definitely going to visit again - keen to try their noodle dishes.

Lovely curry and kimchi, not entirely sure why we couldn't order Prosecco when the table nearby got some 30 mins later ... but the wine was good!

Always lovely, they are super quick

Lovely food and warm welcome. If you love sushi, you'll love this place. Super fresh and beautifully presented.

Never had a bad experience with Issa, hot food is great, sushi is great. I've had excellent food both dine in and take out. Staff are lovely

Really very pretty little restaurant. Great food and service. Fresh rosé on the table was a lovely touch. 🌹 Perfect for a valentines lunch ☺️

Thank you for such delicious and fresh food. nice service beautiful place. Who hasn't been yet, I recommend it because it's worth going in and eating deliciously.Best Regards. we wish you many customers.⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

We ordered Sushi through deliveroo today and due to a technical error, part of the order was wrong. Mark at the Worthing branch, to whom I spoke to was very helpful and delivered the correct order himself. Customer care and the food was excellent. Thank you.

Came for lunch, having just moved to the area. We ordered two bento boxes, which contained an assortment of Thai mains/starters, and a sushi tapas. Everything was well-presented, tasty and good value for lunch. Service was a little slow because they were a bit stretched, but they apologised for this. Place had a nice, busy atmosphere on a Saturday afternoon. Will definitely be back.

Best place to get sushi in area, lovely staff, nice atmosphere!

Amazing food and great atmosphere. Perfect service as well!! Would go back for sure

Found 2 pieces of plastic strips in the sushi and staff just said “sorry, is that okay” We could have ingested a few.

Awful food. Very overpriced. Worst sushi in Worthing

I had Thai here and it was great

Sandi was a very lovely server and really went the extra mile for my daughters birthday! Food is always delicious and is a very cute restaurant. Very recommend

This place consistently delivers great food, always a winner with my kids too who beg to go there

Ordered via Uber and restaurant called me to say they couldn’t fulfill our order and told me I needed to cancel via the app. I cancelled via the app and was still charged and Uber won’t refund me. I called the restaurant and they refused to give me a refund despite not being able to fulfill my order. Disgusting service and robbery.

Absolutely delicious food. Had Bento #2 (Thai red curry chicken, spring roll, white rice) which was filling and very tasty.

Absolutely ridiculous how amazing this place is, an absolute hidden gem! My partner and I went there for our anniversary and the place exceeded our expectations. This is hands down the best sushi I’ve had in the UK and the portions were huge! On top of that, it is such an amazing value for money, our waitress was so attentive, sweet and helpful (I think her name was Sandy) and the atmosphere was perfect. We plan to become regulars.

Excellent food and amazing customer service from Sandy. The restaurant has a lovely atmosphere too. Will definitely be returning!

Very friendly staff, good service and the sashimi is so good!! Is the best sushi place in the wide local area for sure

We have always had good service, but tonight the driver turned up with cold Miso Soup etc. It appears he'd been parked up in Carnforth RD for an hour. No dinner and my husband won't get a refund for 3 weeks! Was going to order from you on Thursday, but after this evenings experience, can't guarantee the delivery!

We popped in ad hoc and recorded a warm welcome, prompt service, and amazing food that was really good value. Kids and adults reach loved their dishes - a rare feat. Perfect!

Great place for Asian food. Plenty of choice too. Highly recommend

Excellent food, very kind staff, and filled to the brim with ambience. From sushi to gyoza to yaki udon to terriaki chicken bento, it is all top notch!

A fantastic restaurant, we have just discovered this little gem. The food is fresh tasty and wonderfully presented. The value is phenomenal for such quality. We highly recommend it here. My mum bought the kids here in half term, they loved it, as do I. Also great friendly service.

Just went here for the 1st time for lunch and absolutely hands down best sushi experience we have had for ages, reasonable price with good quality and quantity of food, we had sashimi boat and another recomended share plate which was brilliant with all sorts of stuff going on. Will definitely be going back.. Thankyou

We had booked a table for a group of us from work as we had been here before and had a great time. Today was exactly the same. Great service, great food and a great atmosphere. There were so many clean plates and happy diners in our group. We left feeling full, and very satisfied.

The most amazing Japanese food, the atmosphere was lovely and every dish we had was delicious, with a special nod to the katsu curry

First visit my son loves sushi and had the Raman and dragon rolls which was super tasty I had the chow mein and chicken rolls we way over ordered so took the rest home for lunch yum we will return

Testy food and excellent service 👌

The food was amazing🤩 but the service was alright but not the best I've seen😅. Would definitely recommend going there👌.

The food was amazing, and the service was great. We will definitely be back soon! 🤓👍🍣

We have gone there a few times and food is always nice, service is good too. I had the aubergine and eel last night, amazing flavour.

Evening meal. Didn’t book but we were out and about early so it wasn’t busy. We ordered the squid, gyozas, Worthing rolls and the spider rolls all to share. They were delicious. Nothing not to like. Highly recommend visiting here.

Don't be put off by the big menu, the food is great!

Auf mich machte das gesamt Paket einen guten Eindruck:) Das Essen war lecker, wir hatten Thaifood und Japanfood. Alle (5) aus der Familie waren mit dem Essen zufrieden:) Der Service machte auf mich einen freundlichen Eindruck. Wir kommen wieder.

Delish!! Our anniversary dinner

The best sushi ever i had ! Nice service, i love it 🧡

Absolutely lovely lunch. Such good value and great food.

Food was Amazing, highly recommend

Food is delicious but no one replies to email bookings or answers the phone!! You can’t leave a message either! How am I supposed to book a table?! I have sent 2 emails and phoned 4 times!

We often go there. Food is nice, staff are nice. Not only Japanese dishes, there are lots of Thai dishes as well :)

Amazing food, always great staff

Had a great time as before ( about a month ago) lovely Udon noodles, tempura and satay. Good service as it was last time. We will be back.

Food is average Service is rushed Starters come with mains Atmosphere not great as restaurant lay out nothing special

A wide ranging menu and really great service, however average quality food might let this place down just a little. We still had a good time nevertheless.

Lovely sushi and great Thai green

Great food, atmosphere is a bit dull

Excellent if other reviews are less than 5 star they should stick to greasy Chinese take aways. This is Japanese food.

Food and ambiance is good. Service sometimes suffers due to short staff.

Excellent food . Fresh and authentic. We eat here often and never tire of it .

I ordered a takeaway from Deliveroo, whilst eating my Pad Thai I bit down on something hard thinking i'd chipped my tooth, as I spat it out I realized it was a staple in my food. The staple was open, if if were to have swallowed it it could have been a very dangerous situation. When calling the restaurant to complain, I got a quick sorry and then was told to complain on Deliveroo and then they hung up. They use staples to attach not delivery notes and to close the bags on takeaways - there is clearly not enough care happening to make sure this doesn't get into the food. I'm a regular customer here in the restaurant and takeaway but will not be returning

First visit, should have come along time ago. Highly recommended
