Merion_Mom Posted July 6, 2014 Author #3 Share Posted July 6, 2014 There were sushi-making demonstrations (first sea day) and classes (for a fee), one for kids and one for adults. I do not know the fee, but I believe that they were very popular and fully subscribed. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loudbmw Posted July 6, 2014 #4 Share Posted July 6, 2014 (edited) Merion_Mom Thanks so much for taking the time to post the Grandeur Izumi menu, especially the close-up pictures so it's easy to read. Two questions: 1) Is the cover charge now gone? 2) How are the gratuities handled? Thanks, Lou Edited July 6, 2014 by loudbmw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plutoqueen Posted July 9, 2014 #6 Share Posted July 9, 2014 Thanks for the menu... Did you try the lobster roll? If yes, was it good? Any recommendations?

Daghis Posted July 9, 2014 #8 Share Posted July 9, 2014 I'm disappointed to see the "Set Combinations" no longer offered. They had provided a combination of items from different sections of the menu. My favorite is the "Ishiyaki Grill Set" which included: Shrimp Wonton Soup Choice of Signature Roll (Crispy Spicy Tuna for me... yum!) Vegetable Tempura Choice of Hot Rock (the beef tenderloin was generally quite good) Dessert The page I found on the internet shows that it had a price of $17.00. It probably went up since then, and I can't recall what we paid last year, but it was a cost-effective way to try lots of different things from the menu.

We did combos a couple of times, and I'm not sure we will be as interested in Izumi without them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kneadsdough2cruise Posted July 9, 2014 #10 Share Posted July 9, 2014 Plutoqueen -just wanted to chime in about the Lobster Roll. IMO it is delicious! DH does not care for Izumi so I make a point of going in for a quick lunch of the Lobster Roll. That's it, just the Lobster Roll:p. Perfect sea day lunch when I can. Sadly have not been since (oh my gosh), January! Time to call my TA:eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merion_Mom Posted July 9, 2014 Author #11 Share Posted July 9, 2014 I can speak for no other ship, but on the Grandeur, Darryl hosted a "cooking demonstration" of all of the specialty restaurants up on the pool deck just before lunch time (!) on Day 2. He passed around samples, then, of things like the Caprese Salad from Chops, the antipasti from Giovanni's Table, and several spicy tuna roll, California roll and shrimp tempura roll from Izumi. THEN they were selling whole rolls from Izumi - you know, the way that you can buy them in the grocery store. Well, we can around here.

Holland America 2007 Disney Magic 2000, 2002 Disney Wonder 2001 Majesty of the Seas 1992 Sovereign of the Seas 1999 My husband really enjoyed it. I would give it a B rating. Also, I felt that their sushi was overpriced. But if you want sushi and are at sea, it's good for what it is. And I am willing to pay for good food but to me it was average.

yknot13 Posted July 9, 2014 #14 Share Posted July 9, 2014 These new prices charged for so-so sushi IMHO are crazy. I can eat fresh flown in daily sushi at a legitimate sushi bar for the same cost . At least at the old somewhat reasonable prices it was not that bad of an alternative. By day 4 of a cruise I question the freshness of the sushi offered. Thanks for the info.

gjkubel Posted July 9, 2014 #15 Share Posted July 9, 2014 What, you mean to tell me this isn't caught fresh off the back of the ship? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MichaelCMTX Posted July 9, 2014 #16 Share Posted July 9, 2014 (edited) Pricing makes more sense with the cover charge now gone. Glad to see the Champagne Lobster rolls live. Funny, we went in for the Hot Rocks but found we lacked either the talent or sobriety for a palatable result. Give 'em credit on Serenade for walking us rookies through. Unless they're putting Izumi on Independence in the next 6 months looks like we're outta luck on the next trip. :( Edited July 9, 2014 by MichaelCMTX Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heyabbott Posted July 11, 2014 #19 Share Posted July 11, 2014 (edited) The prices seem high. Isn't most sushi grade fish frozen anyway? To kill parasites? no. Good Sushi is always very very fresh. The prices are on low end of a very good sushi place. But no place I would eat at would serve sushi on Wednesday that was delivered on Monday.

DarthGrady Posted July 11, 2014 #21 Share Posted July 11, 2014 Yes. I don't know. Sorry - not very helpful. Thanks for posting this! The cover charge is what always kept me out of there, and I love sushi! I guess being able to just walk into the old Jade Sushi on the Monarch spoiled me.

Rare Rogueperson Posted July 19, 2014 #23 Share Posted July 19, 2014 Thanks for posting. The price by itself, seems the same as a casual sushi restaurant, but given this is above and beyond the price I've already paid, I'm not sure if it's going to be worth it, especially since people are giving it a B rating and it's on a cruise ship. I've never had good sushi on a cruise ship yet. I could easily eat up to the chops cover, but I think chops is a good value for what we get. Knowing me, I will give it a shot just because it's there.
