    “Everything was very good. I got the White Russian roll which was fantastic. I will say the calamari is definitely a skip. The squid was rubbery and the batter was oily. The vibes in there were awesome. Super cozy and cute. Our waitress was very kind as well. Wasn’t the biggest fan of the mochi either, but the sushi entrees were quite good. I’d come back!”

    “NEVER ORDER FROM THIS COMPANY !! They were randomly closed on a Wednesday, which is fine, however their website DID NOT provide this information ! I ordered my food, they took my money, and the confirmation said that the pick up would be the following day . So I went to the location to see what was going on and that's when I saw the sign in the window claiming they were closed . They have NO option to cancel your order once you've made it so I had to wait to the following day to call . They refuse to refund me my money - I'm only in office one day a week , I'm not driving 35 minutes to pick up food that I wanted the day before ! Whoever answered the phone kept talking over me and cutting me off , she admitted that they don't have a way to cancel an order once it's made (which is ridiculous, I could've just canceled it that day and we wouldn't be in this situation ) I explained to her over and over again that their website DID NOT state that they were closed but she didn't care ! Long story short they got $20 out of me and lost a customer for life !”

    “***** 10 STARS ***** We came here for the first time on our 4 year wedding anniversary with our toddler. What a wonderful establishment! The food and drinks tasted elevated and complex and were at a reasonable price point. We enjoyed everything we ordered. Some highlights include the caulini tempura, the mentaiko maze udon, the scallop temaki, and the black sesame cheesecake from the dessert place next door (which will be opening soon!) My son was SO excited to eat rice (his favorite food) in the shape of a bear and loved his Calpico drink and the red bean fish treat dessert. Our waiter was nice, but not overbearing. He was very knowledgeable about the menu, gave us informed recommendations, and provided good advice on handling the hand rolls. The place has simple, but classy decor, and a nice large patio. Management was very generous in recognizing our anniversary with a couple of surprises. We felt very taken care of and were glowing with appreciation at the end of our meal. We feel grateful to have found this gem in the neighborhood which we plan on returning to many times in the future.”

    “We've been regular customers at Ichido in Minnetonka because the food is consistently delicious and the quality has always kept us coming back. Unfortunately, during our visit today, we noticed that the portion sizes were significantly smaller than what we've received in the past. The taste was still great, but it was disappointing to see such a noticeable reduction in the amount of food, especially since the prices haven't reflected that change. We hope this was just a one-time issue, because we've always enjoyed dining here and would love to continue supporting this restaurant. We're sharing this feedback in the hope that management takes a look at the consistency of their portions. We truly enjoy the food and want to see Ichido continue to be one of our favorite spots.”

    “We had a big group of us place separate takeout orders for pickup, and despite this place being relatively new, I thought the staff handled this quite well, bringing the food to us as quickly as possible. We had I think 8-10 people picking up orders, each who had ordered at different times, and they finished giving us all of our orders in about 15 minutes. Everything was well packaged and sealed. I foolishly forgot to get a picture of my rolls, but I ordered the 3 roll lunch special for 15.99, the agedashi tofu, and the short ribs - which, let's talk about those short ribs, y'all. They were well seasoned, tender, and rich - although the meat wasn't fall off the bone, it didn't need to be. The agedashi tofu was nicely fried, paired with bonito flakes and the takoyaki sauce - if you like tofu you might like it! For the rolls, they present a combination of possibilities: I did the Alaskan, the spicy tuna, and the eel avocado. There are TONS more options to choose from if you check out the online menu. The menu for this place is quite robust, featuring ramen, fried rice, and some stirfries. You can even build your own ramen. Other local spots unfortunately no longer do sushi during the day, so this might have to be my new go to for a sushi lunch!”
