I came here to celebrate my niece's birthday. The food was amazing and we all had a great time!

The food was excellent as always. Was a little disappointed with the service though. There was a delay with initial contact for drinks /order (and it was not busy at the time). Then 1.5 hrs after our reservation time we were asked to vacate our table because of another reservation. We were done eating but were still visiting and having tea.

Enjoyed delicious 10 pieces of Delux Sushi! Quality of their sushi is much higher than usual izakaya.

Omakase tasting menu was amazing. This was my second time here, and it seemed even better than the first. The colours and plating were outstanding. The flavour profiles were delectable and riddled with subtle, yet distinct notes erupting from the aftertaste. It was surprise after surprise of flavourful tones. I was grateful that I selected the 7-course menu. My significant other had to surrender at dessert. The 10-course menu would have been too much (l experienced it the first time here). Overall, a memory to relish and cherish. Only one point of deduction: one of the desserts ordered was incorrect, but my spouse had already surrendered, it did not matter. Great job!

They added a service charge of 20% and expected tip on top of that. That would be 40% of the bill which is crazy

We love this restaurant and it continues to be one of our favorites. We always order the steamed egg dish as we love that dish. The pork belly skewers are yummy too. My husband loves the uni here and it never disappoints. This one time we tried the Godzilla roll - it was just ok. It was too many ingredients in one roll imo (unagi avocado and tuna sashimi).

I'm on a mission to try as many Japanese spots in the upper Peninsula as possible. This is a solid Izakaya spot in San Bruno. The American wagyu beef skewer, pork belly skewer, and corn tempura were standout dishes for me - The wagyu is one of the best beef skewers I've ever had. The chicken skewer and salmon lover nigiri were also really good. The beef croquette and spicy tuna crispy rice were just okay, I wish they had more flavor. Service was good, they were attentive and friendly. Overall a great experience. I'm definitely going to come back and try more things.

Good food, a bit pricey. Would still recommend if you're in the area. Get the corn tempura.

Absolutely delicious food and high quality fish. Service was excellent with the servers refilling our tea without being obtrusive. We received our food in a timely manner and was not rushed at all. The corn tempura appetizer was a great starter and the ice cream for dessert a great finish.

A great restaurant hidden in San Bruno! Excellent food but reservations go fast and it fills up quickly so be sure to snag a reservation ASAP! Sushi may take sometime to arrive at the table so just be prepared with appetizers.

Annie

All the fish for the sushi/sashimi was amazingly fresh. Loved the miso cod, too. Service was attentive and very friendly. Wonderful Mother's Day dinner!

Danny

Really great service and a super awesome place to go visit. If you are in the San Bruno area in the mood for great food, please visit Ichika. The fish is fresh, tempura hot, and the miso soup is delicious. They don't miss and everything is made with care.
