Ippuku is a popular Japanese-style izakaya that offers a cool and lively atmosphere, especially around the bar. The menu features a variety of options, including vegetarian and gluten-free choices. The black pork belly is a standout favorite, and the crab croquette is also a must-try. With a focus on fresh ingredients, the restaurant serves dishes individually, including korokke, dashi maki, bekon mochi, negiyaki, and buta bara.
Reservations are recommended, as the restaurant is often crowded. However, walk-ins are sometimes possible, though guests may have to wait to be seated. The food and service remain consistent, with a wide selection of sake and other beverages available.
Customers praise the authentic izakaya experience, with the ambiance and food transporting them to the back streets of Tokyo. The staff is welcoming, and the menu offers a range of delicious skewers, appetizers, and rice dishes.
