My first omakase in OC!Entrance is a simple, wooden door. It's very low key and feels like a hidden room. Counter seats 8-10?? Very clean and sanitary interior. The lighting of the space highlights the Master in the room on stage. His space was organized; nothing unused was left on the table top, and everything is lined up/cleaned. Loved this aspect of the place, feels very Ginza.Servers/Master are welcoming, alert and attentive to detail throughout. Your cup of water is always full and unneeded items removed from your space/table swiftly. Careful explanation about every dish. Master is Japanese, so he can provide an explanation Bilingually. From our conversation, I admired his detail to his craft, and passion to express his procedure to his customer. Thank you!Every dish was amazing; Each tasting distinct and celebrates the fresh quality of the seafood in your mouth. Master pairs each fish well with unique condiments/sauces, and unwraps flavors of even unfamiliar fish. The omakase is colorful, flavorful and leaves you full. I don't drink, but I enjoyed my meal with hot green tea. The dessert was a highlight for my matcha-loving friend.I enjoyed a course/set for Valentines Day 4 stars for variety, but I am picky: Uni-Chutoro can be served separately???, limited grilled/fried option in set. However, I am from Tokyo, so I may seek a more traditional angle to omakase.I'd love to return in a different season, perhaps in the fall :)
Quick SummaryExcellent customer service and very solid and creative omakase. Disappointed that I wasn't able to make it for their foie gras and A5 wagyu, but still a great experience, nonetheless. Reservations are a must, as there is very limited seating.Food- 5 starsI commend Ikko for adding plenty of variety in their dishes. My only knock was for the scallop course, but everything else was wonderful. The amberjack, mackerel and the trout were my favorite piecesService- 5 starsThe service is fantastic. It's an up-scale Japanese style where a waiter is basically staring you down from the side, to make sure your water is always full and your dishes are always clear. You're well taken care of hereParking- there's plenty of parking available in the strip mallBottom LineVery solid experience and great value as well. The diverse and creative menu along with the customer service were the best draws of the restaurant. Will be coming back!
Fantastic omakase, if you like trying different types of Japanese cuisine, in addition to sushi. Great service, too.
Such an amazing experience! They pay attention to detail from beginning to end and the food is exceptional!
Ikko or 'piece' or 'single' in Japanese serves some decent omakase during these tough times.Located in a strip mall near the CAMP there is a decent amount of parking.Before my yelping days I had come here once and dined at the restaurant, but that was long ago.This review is for the takeout and it's more of 3.5 stars rounded up.The food presentation is worthy. The little details and colors and even addition of a fake maple leaf make you think this will be a great omakase meal. However, the fish taste is not as good as it looks. Don't get me wrong it taste fine but there many other restaurants that in my opinion serve some great sushi and better selections at the price even if there isn't the same panache presentation.The Chawanmushi was pretty good and overall it was ok. A place to give a try though!
This spot never fails to deliver. They serve fantastic dishes for reasonable pricing, there is no waiting time even when they are busy.
great traditional sushi spot to go along with awesome creative apptizers. they also take pride in service quality
The customer service is consistently quick, lovely vibes, super nice staff members. Will return again when I get nearby.
I adore this spot! They offer splendid dishes, their menu is rich, The chief cook in that spot is an expert, I enjoy very much eating all their dishes. The dishes are always tasty, the service towards the customers is very good too. I often eat in this place and I not even once was unhappy. I recommend it to all my friends.
At the moment you enter that restaurant they give you a pleasant feeling. Very friendly waiters, it is a lovely restaurant to to go out with friends and colleagues or with your date. yummy food, talented chef de cuisine, good cost and courteous service. Highly recommended.
