Best-in-city sushi for many diners, with professional service and a calm setting, though service lapses and occasional execution misses appear in a notable minority of reviews.
Itsumi delivers exceptional fresh sushi that ranks among Istanbul's strongest when execution peaks, supported by calm, professional service and a convenient Levent location. However, notable quality variation—dry rice, loose rolls, service delays—and a slightly declining recent trend prevent it from reaching grade A territory. Solid choice for reliable sushi, though not consistently exceptional.
One caveat: Service can lag with forgotten items or slow drinks on busy days
