Ichika Izakaya Reviews
One of the best sushi I’ve ever had.
What a discovery! The service is beyond impeccable. Very attentive, making sure the diners' needs are met without being intrusive. The servers are engaging and explain all dishes. Every bite of each dish was delicious! Well prepared and presentation is beautiful. I highly recommend all the dishes we enjoyed. However, the Spicy Tuna Crispy Rice is an ABSOLUTE MUST! I was hesitant about the Corn Tempura, but it was an unexpected treat. The restaurant is quite small so I highly recommend...read full review
This place is my go-to. For more casual dining, I love the ramen or lion king roll. If you want sushi or sashimi, this is where they shine, though high cost. Dessert is very good, surprisingly so!

Ichika Izakaya offers a delightful experience with authentic Japanese cuisine and a warm atmosphere. The Wagyu is a must-try, along with the omakase sushi, chicken karrage, and uni nigiri. The omakase tasting menu has received high praise for its amazing flavors and beautiful plating, providing a memorable culinary experience. The restaurant is known for its politeness, privacy, and respect. While more suited for adults, the staff is accommodating to families. Conveniently located near San Francisco Airport, Ichika Izakaya is a charming spot for a special meal or a regular dining experience. Guests have found the food excellent, especially the chirashi bowl, which is very generous with premium fish and melts in the mouth sashimi. The steamed egg dish and pork belly skewers are also favorites among visitors, while the Godzilla roll received mixed reviews. The sushi rice is solid, and the service is charming and attentive. The variety of sake adds to the experience, and the restaurant offers plenty of delicious items on the menu with ample parking. Standout dishes like the American wagyu beef skewer and corn tempura have impressed guests, making it a place that can quickly become a favorite for those seeking quality sushi and Japanese dishes.
