👍 I just wanted to go outside and google maps threw Ioki to me as best eastern cuisine place. I have tried and it is best sushi and noodle place i have been in istanbul. I have ordered tornado and tadashi from house specials and chicken noodle. The reason i gave 4 star is because it is a bit expensive... People often mention sushi,

    I just wanted to go outside and google maps threw Ioki to me as best eastern cuisine place. I have tried and it is best sushi and noodle place i have been in istanbul. I have ordered tornado and tadashi from house specials and chicken noodle. The reason i gave 4 star is because it is a bit expensive. I think it needs 10%-15% reduction on price. Anyway try it, and you love the quality! Edit: when i wanted check they offered free coffee or tea on the balcony

    Great location, delicious sushi and nice atmosphere! Loved the poke bowl! Really attentive service. We are very happy that we found this gem in the Anatolian side of İstanbul.

    One of the best places to have sushi in Istanbul with great atmosphere. The Tuna Tataki was delicious. Definetly try the house special rolls!

    What a view. If this place was a cake the view would definitely be the vanilla buttercream frosting. Don’t forget to book in advance and ask to be seated at the rooftop. It gets crowded as the sun sets, more so during the weekend. Making reservations is also a piece of cake since you just send a request through their website and they call you to confirm. The service was also exceptional. We had a slight mishap where our dinner reservation never made it to their system. Luckily, the maître d’ was very accomodating and he made sure we were seated at the rooftop as soon as a table became available. All of our food came with very short intervals in between. As for the food itself, I first started with the Spicy Miso soup and my gf got the Lemongrass soup. Spicy Miso was definitely the way to go as the other one tasted a bit chalky. From the appetizers, gyoza and dynamite shrimp are no brainers. The gyoza was crisp yet the filling was soft and the shrimp honest to god melted in my mouth. For nigiri you have the option of ordering a 9-piece mix or just individual pieces with each piece costing between 90-140 Turkish Liras. We got 3 Sake (salmon) nigiri and 1 Suzuki (sea bass) nigiri. The salmon was unfortunately sliced a bit too thick so the whole bite took some chewing. The Suzuki, on the other hand, was an instant hit. From the rolls, I’d say go with the “house specials”. We went with Boton Roll and Istanbul Ebi Roll. Both were great. Finally, we sampled some of the Sweet & Sour Chicken. Best thing I tasted all night. For dessert we ordered the Chocolate Mochi and it was mediocre. Tasted and felt more akin to chocolate ice cream. One thing to keep in mind is that they don’t serve alcohol. So we topped it all of with a cup of green tea. Overall, pleasant experience, generous portion sizes and calm vibes. Its not cheap, but nothing over the top. Enjoy!

    I had the pleasure of dining at this incredible Japanese restaurant and I must say, it was a truly exceptional experience! From the moment I stepped onto the rooftop, the view was absolutely stunning and set the perfect tone for the rest of the evening. The sushi was a great choice and exceeded my expectations in every way. Each piece was expertly crafted and bursting with flavor, truly a feast for the senses. The quality of the ingredients was clearly evident in every bite, and I found myself savoring every moment. The ambiance of the restaurant was also fantastic, with a modern yet inviting atmosphere that made me feel right at home. The staff were friendly and attentive, ensuring that my dining experience was nothing short of perfect. Overall, I would highly recommend this Japanese restaurant to anyone looking for an unforgettable dining experience. The combination of delicious food, breathtaking views, and top-notch service make this restaurant truly stand out from the rest. A five-star rating is well deserved and I can't wait to come back for another visit!
