Icho Izakaya offers great service, especially during busy times, with a mix of attentive and less attentive staff. The lunch bento deals are popular, featuring exceptional veggie tempura that is a crowd favorite. Families find it infant-friendly, enjoying dishes like salt and pepper fried intestines and fresh sushi. The sashimi boat is a highlight, showcasing a variety of seafood, including fresh tuna and salmon hand rolls.
Though it is called an izakaya, the restaurant also serves a variety of Chinese dishes. The inside is spacious and comfortable, accommodating larger parties in private rooms. Daily specials include a 50% off deal on lobster sashimi, which has a tasty texture similar to amaebi. For an additional charge, lobster porridge and lobster yakisoba can be made from the remains of the lobster, with the yakisoba being particularly favored.
While the atmosphere is pleasant for a simple sushi craving, some diners feel it leans more towards being a Chinese restaurant rather than an authentic Japanese izakaya. Overall, with consistent quality and service, Icho Izakaya is a place worth visiting for a delicious dining experience.
