About
İoki House & Sushi is the founding concept of Istanbul's celebrated İoki restaurant group, established in 2012 with Japanese chef Keizo Okitasan as the culinary anchor. The group won 'Best Asian Cuisine Istanbul' in 2015 and now operates multiple İoki House locations in İstinye, Kandilli, and Ulus, serving its signature Nikkei menu of Japanese-Peruvian rolls, nigiri, sashimi tiradito, and creative small plates. The founding Japanese chef's culinary vision – merging Japanese precision with Peruvian acidity – runs through every location, and the brand's consistency has made it a benchmark for Japanese restaurant quality in Istanbul. A seasonal pop-up at Mandarin Oriental expands the reach further during summer months.
