Stopped by iChima and was blown away, especially by the fatty tuna roll. Every roll we tried was fresh and delicious, but that fatty tuna was on another level. Rich, buttery, and perfectly balanced, it was easily the standout.
The rest of the menu held up strong, but that one roll alone will have me coming back. Highly recommended if you’re a tuna fan.

This is my favorite go-to restaurant for authentic Japanese food. We are always greeted when being seated by all the chefs. Very friendly and kind staff will assist you with your choices.

Everything was perfect. We had our own carafe of ice water with lemon. Service was prompt, friendly and efficient. Sushi looked and tasted fresh. We asked to pack up the rest and our to go bag came with a pre packed ginger and wasabi with chopsticks and soy sauce packets for later!

A great place to visit for sushi craving. Their sushi has a great variety, from rich flavored eel, to just fresh salmon. The customer service do treat their guests with open-arms. And they do have some great birthday guest treatments XD. The restaurant lighting is pretty good for pictures. Trust me when I say that I am satisfied with my pictures for the food based on how they placed and the lighting. Just be nice to the waiters here if you come in as a big group (prefer reserve your seats if you are coming here)and have a great experience with the sushi 🍣

*Slow start-stellar sushi*
First impressions weren’t great—the building looks tired, and it took a while to be seated and served. Once the food arrived, the sushi was excellent: very fresh fish and on-point cuts, easily some of the best we’ve had recently. The appetizer didn’t hit the same mark, so I’d focus on the sushi menu. Overall, a diamond-in-the-rough experience: weak ambiance and slow service, but the fish quality wins. I’d visit again if I’m nearby.

We’ve been coming to ichima wayyyy before when they had two previous owners. My entire family knows the chefs and workers.
We came in, three of us to sit at the bar for my mom’s birthday. The lady who works in the front said only 2 can sit together and 1 person has to sit far from us. Therefore 3 of us won’t even be sitting together at the bar because they have these white strips on the table for the waitresses to grab the food from the sushi chef. Okay… NO ONE was sitting at the bar, she could’ve easily just took one extra step to grab the food from both sides of us if we sat together. MADE NO SENSE. It was like talking to a 3 year old. Even the guy working thought this was insanity and we should just sit together.
My family and I will never come here again, what a joke. Mind you.. we spend A LOT of money every time we come so whoever hired this new girl to work needs to re think their decision.

Stopped by Ichima and happened to catch their Halloween event—such a fun surprise! We were treated to a complimentary drink and a little “cheese bomb” snack, which set the tone for a great meal. The sushi was incredibly fresh and the uni was buttery and sweet, just perfect as always. Friendly service and a lively atmosphere, too. Ichima never disappoints—I left so happy and I’m already looking forward to my next visit.

The food’s great and the service is awesome. Love that they give you a a big bottle or water and miso soup in the beginning.

I had such a great experience at Ichima! The Toro & Uni Don was super fresh — the fish melted in your mouth and the portion was generous. The Uni Scramble Toast was really special and unlike anything I’ve had before — creamy, rich, and full of umami flavor. The presentation was beautiful too. The staff were friendly and attentive, and the atmosphere felt cozy and authentic. Definitely one of my top recommend sushi spots in town!
