Sad to see Issho has closed. This place was a gem in Leeds, blending modern with traditional Japanese cuisine. Each visit was a culinary adventure, from sushi to unique dishes. Although sometimes service could be hit or miss, the overall experience was memorable. It'll be missed for its innovation and atmosphere.

The food was nice however, I had a terrible service experience. The initial food took 40 minutes to come and part of our order didn’t come- when we queried it the kitchen had missed the order and then closed. We had to agree to have it taken off the bill. So we finished up hungry. The bill didn’t come despite asking 3 times. Eventually the wrong bill came. In total we waiting 40 minutes for the correct bill to arrive. When I complained I was told I didn’t have a right to because they had been working for 12 hours. The manager Vincenzo was rude and condescending- my party and I couldn’t believe it. I think he realise this when he knocked some money off the bill. It wasn’t much but I accepted it so we could leave as it was so embarrassing. Very poor experience I will be feeding back to the Amex concierge that recommended it.

Always love coming here, the temaki rolls are huge and you can tell they are freshly made. Staff are so lovely too, Sofia was our server and she was 10/10 - very attentive and patient (we were taking ages to decide what to order). Definitely will be returning. I highly recommend the cocktails, especially the hugo spritz.

We came here for my husband's birthday. The ambience is nice and they've got quite an extensive cocktail menu. The dishes were all great, our server Helen was wonderful - very friendly and brought my husband a little cake with 'Happy Birthday ' written in chocolate sauce!

We had arranged to have a special lunch here . When we arrived were seated we had the ‘pleasure’ of listening to 2 chefs argue because they had forgotten to cook the rice … in an open kitchen - not good . We ordered the salmon & tuna sashimi as 2of our dishes - @£15 for 3 pieces quite expensive . The tuna that arrrved was grey & smelt . I’ve seen fresher in Tesco’s . We decided to cut short our visit as they tried to argue it was fresh & supposed to be that colour We won’t re

What a once in a lifetime event! I had always dreamed of coming here and finally the opportunity arose. I came here as part of a big group of 10 and we were given 2 iPads to order our dishes. The choice was vast and a little overwhelming so I closed my eyes and clicked a few buttons. The dishes arrived quickly and they were all delicious! There wasn't a single thing I didn't enjoy. I did feel I was disgracing myself with the chopsticks though and the first thing I ate was fish eggs sushi and it exploded and I ended up with fish eggs all over me. And I forgot you weren't meant to eat the whole thing with edamame so I was struggling with that for a few minutes then realised everyone else was only eating the little soy beans or whatever they are and discarding of the pods. I really enjoyed the pudding too. All in all a great experience. Can't say it was very social as you are looking at the iPad choosing what to order half the time, and the rest of the time you are devouring the food. A once in a lifetime event.

I usually like Itsu, but it tasted like supermarket sushi left out for hours this evening! I didn't enjoy my miso soup, either. It was way saltier than usual, and the salmon nigiri and festival set tasted weird. The quality seems to have gone down, or maybe I just got a bad batch. I don't know! But I am disappointed I wasted my money tonight
