Royal Caribbean Izumi Menu & Prices
Izumi is Royal Caribbean’s Japanese specialty restaurant, serving sushi rolls, sashimi, small plates, teriyaki dishes and Japanese-inspired desserts. It is one of Royal Caribbean’s established specialty dining concepts and appears on multiple ships across the fleet, although the exact restaurant format and menu can vary by ship.
The Izumi menu shown in this guide offers both à la carte pricing and a $45 prix fixe option. Guests choosing the prix fixe menu receive one small plate, two large plates and one dessert. Because Royal Caribbean can change specialty restaurant menus and pricing, the prices below should be treated as those shown on this particular menu rather than guaranteed pricing for every ship or sailing.

How Much Does Izumi Cost on Royal Caribbean?
The menu provides two ways to order at Izumi: à la carte or prix fixe.
The prix fixe option costs $45 and includes:
- One small plate
- Two large plates
- One dessert
Guests can instead order individual dishes at the prices shown on the menu.
This flexibility makes Izumi somewhat different from Royal Caribbean specialty restaurants built entirely around a single fixed-price meal. Guests who only want sushi or a small meal can order individual items, while the prix fixe option provides a larger multi-course meal.
Izumi Small Plates
The small-plate section includes soups, salads, fried rice and appetizers. Prices on this menu range from $5 to $10.
Available selections include:
- Miso Soup – $5
- Vegetable Fried Rice – $10
- Seaweed Wakame Salad – $8
- Tofu-Ginger Salad – $8
- Crispy Chicken Kara-Age – $10
- Shrimp Firecracker Spring Roll – $10
Miso soup is specifically identified as included in the prix fixe meal.
The Crispy Chicken Kara-Age is marked as a Chef’s Recommendation. It consists of soy-ginger-mirin marinated chicken thigh meat served with sweet Thai chili sauce.
For seafood, the Shrimp Firecracker Spring Roll combines deep-fried shrimp, crabmeat, sambal chili and cream cheese.
Izumi Signature Sushi Rolls
Sushi makes up a significant portion of the Izumi menu.
Regular Signature Rolls are priced at $19 on this version of the menu, with several choices available:
- Snow Crab California Roll
- Rainbow Roll
- Spicy Crispy Tuna Roll
- Salmon Lovers Roll
- Seared Tuna Tataki Roll
- Spicy Crispy Shrimp Roll
- Crispy Philly Roll
The Snow Crab California Roll combines snow crab, avocado and cucumber in soy paper.
The Rainbow Roll starts with a California roll and tops it with assorted sashimi, while the Salmon Lovers Roll combines a crab and asparagus roll with salmon sashimi and avocado.
For something with more texture, the Spicy Crispy Tuna Roll features spicy tuna and asparagus flash-fried in panko breadcrumbs, while the Crispy Philly Roll combines salmon, avocado and cream cheese before being flash-fried and finished with Champagne sauce and spicy aioli.
The Seared Tuna Tataki Roll is marked as a Chef’s Recommendation and includes shrimp tempura, seared tuna, avocado, scallions and garlic ponzu sauce.
Izumi Chef’s Signature Rolls
Chef’s Signature Rolls cost $20 on this menu.
Three options are listed:
- Izumi Ryu Futomaki Roll
- Champagne Lobster Roll
- Baked Snow Crab & Salmon Dynamite Roll
The Izumi Ryu Futomaki Roll is also identified as a Chef’s Recommendation. It combines tempura-fried assorted sashimi with scallions, spicy aioli, Champagne sauce, unagi sauce, cream cheese, wakame salad, house ginger-teppan dressing and spicy chili thread.
The Champagne Lobster Roll contains blanched lobster, avocado and daikon sprouts wrapped in soy paper and finished with Champagne sauce and dried chili thread.
The Baked Snow Crab & Salmon Dynamite Roll combines snow crab and salmon with cream cheese, cucumber, avocado, spicy mayo, garlic-chili oil, lemon, Champagne sauce and daikon sprouts.
Sushi and Sashimi
Guests who prefer traditional sushi or sashimi have two additional selections.
Chef’s Sushi Selection costs $18 and lets guests select two sets of four from:
- Tuna
- Salmon
- Yellowtail
- Shrimp
The menu notes that a third set can be added for $5.
Assorted Sashimi costs $25 and allows guests to select three sets of three from:
- Tuna
- Yellowtail
- Salmon
- Shrimp
The sashimi is garnished with wakame salad, and a fourth selection can be added for an additional $5.
The Chef’s Sushi Selection is marked as a Chef’s Recommendation.
Izumi Teriyaki and Poke Bowl
Izumi isn’t limited to sushi.
The Bowls & More section provides two alternatives for passengers looking for something different.
Beef or Chicken Teriyaki costs $20 and includes the guest’s choice of protein and vegetables in teriyaki sauce served with steamed rice.
The Poke Bowl costs $18 and combines seasoned tuna, salmon, avocado, sea salt, sesame-chili oil, soy sauce, onion, scallions, masago, sesame seeds and seaweed salad over sushi rice.
These options can be useful for a group in which not everyone wants traditional sushi rolls.
Izumi Dessert Menu
Desserts are priced at $6 each on this menu.
The choices are:
- Assorted Mochi Ice Cream – $6
- Green Tea Ice Cream – $6
- Chocolate Lava Cake – $6
The Assorted Mochi Ice Cream is marked as a Chef’s Recommendation and includes a choice of three chewy bites in green tea, strawberry, mango and chocolate flavors.
Green Tea Ice Cream is made with matcha tea.
The Chocolate Lava Cake provides the least traditionally Japanese option, with a warm chocolate center finished with matcha powder and fresh berries.
All three can also serve as the dessert selection when ordering the $45 prix fixe meal.
Is the $45 Izumi Prix Fixe Menu a Good Value?
The value depends heavily on which dishes you select.
Using the prices on this menu, ordering one small plate, two large plates and one dessert individually could easily cost more than $45.
For example, choosing a $10 appetizer, two $20 Chef’s Signature Rolls and a $6 dessert would total $56 when ordered individually.
That same combination fits the structure of the $45 prix fixe menu, based on the selections described on this menu.
Passengers who want a full meal therefore have good reason to compare the prix fixe option with à la carte pricing before ordering. Someone who only wants one sushi roll or a light meal may find à la carte ordering more appropriate.
Izumi vs. Izumi Hibachi & Sushi
Royal Caribbean uses the Izumi name for several related Japanese dining experiences, and this can create some confusion when researching a cruise.
Traditional Izumi focuses on sushi, sashimi, rolls and Japanese-inspired dishes similar to those shown on this menu.
Some Royal Caribbean ships instead offer Izumi Hibachi & Sushi, which combines sushi with teppanyaki-style meals prepared tableside.
There is also Izumi in the Park on select newer ships, a more casual concept designed around Japanese street food and grab-and-go selections.
The availability and exact format depend on the ship, so passengers should check the dining lineup for their particular vessel before assuming that every Izumi operates the same way.
Which Royal Caribbean Ships Have Izumi?
Izumi is not limited to a single Royal Caribbean ship. The Japanese specialty dining concept appears across numerous ships in the fleet, although Royal Caribbean uses different Izumi formats depending on the vessel.
That distinction matters when looking for an Izumi menu online. A menu from a traditional Izumi sushi restaurant should not automatically be treated as the menu for Izumi Hibachi & Sushi, Izumi Teppanyaki or Izumi in the Park.
The safest approach when planning a cruise is to check the Royal Caribbean app or Cruise Planner for the version of Izumi offered aboard your specific ship.
Is Izumi Included in the Cruise Fare?
Izumi is a specialty dining venue, so food is not generally included as part of Royal Caribbean’s standard complimentary dining.
Guests can pay for their meal separately or may be able to visit Izumi as part of an eligible specialty dining package.
Royal Caribbean currently treats Izumi Sushi as an à la carte restaurant for purposes of its specialty dining packages. Package rules and dining credits can change, so passengers using a dining package should check the terms associated with their specific purchase.
Do You Need Reservations for Izumi?
Royal Caribbean allows reservations for its Izumi dining experiences through its pre-cruise planning system and onboard through the Royal Caribbean app, depending on the restaurant and sailing.
Reservations are worth considering if Izumi is a priority, particularly for dinner or on shorter cruises where there are fewer evenings available for specialty dining.
The daily planner or Royal Caribbean app can also help passengers coordinate Izumi reservations with entertainment schedules and other onboard activities.
Food Allergies and Dietary Needs at Izumi
The menu specifically instructs passengers with food allergies, intolerances or dietary needs to inform their server.
Royal Caribbean also states that its galleys are not food-allergen-free environments.
Several dishes on the menu are marked with an asterisk indicating that consuming raw or undercooked meats, seafood, shellfish, eggs, milk or poultry may increase the risk of foodborne illness, particularly for guests with certain medical conditions.
Passengers with dietary restrictions should discuss their individual needs with the restaurant staff rather than relying solely on the menu descriptions.

Final Thoughts on the Royal Caribbean Izumi Menu
Izumi remains one of Royal Caribbean’s most recognizable specialty dining options for passengers looking for Japanese cuisine at sea. The menu offers considerably more than basic sushi, with small plates, specialty rolls, sashimi, teriyaki, poke bowls and several desserts.
The $45 prix fixe option shown here is particularly notable because it allows guests to build a four-course meal with one small plate, two large plates and dessert, while à la carte pricing remains available for passengers who want something lighter.
Because Royal Caribbean operates several versions of Izumi and can update menus and prices, passengers should use this menu as a planning guide and check the Royal Caribbean app or Cruise Planner for the restaurant, pricing and options available on their specific ship and sailing.
