Great food, though it was a busy place, service was great. Had the special, the salmon portion was a little small but everything was tasty. Tempura delicious!

The authentic taste and Japanese atmosphere made by Japanese master chefs are famous The Japanese bento is great, paired with a variety of classic Japanese dishes, allowing you to enjoy a rich and delicious combination at once!! It includes fried food, barbecue, sushi and sashimi.

The food and service is still fabulous. My mother worked there over 35 years ago,the restaurant was clean,waitresses efficient, the food is still beautiful and tastes like my mom's home cooking. The crew is a new generation, and the food is true authentic Japanese delight@ Ikenohana ! The first time back since after my mom passed 10yrs ago, Minako would still be proud the restaurant still going strong and the food remains yummy ! Thankyou so much for my reunion with your establishment ,some good things never change.

Twenty years of loving Ikenohana... The food is consistently delicious, the staff are super friendly and sweet, the food is inexpensive, and many of the customer base are long-termers who are equally passionate about this restaurant. This place is a gem wrapped in humility. It feels like you are having dinner at a friend's home in Tokyo. It has been owned and run by the same family for, I believe, around 35 years. I guess that my gratitude for this place exceeds my desire to keep it a secret. Try it and I am sure you will love it!
Kid-friendliness: Plenty of space for high chairs. I don't notice a huge number of young kids there (like at a Red Robin) but children and families are welcome there.

Although the place was full, they cleared the table and gave us a seat right away. The price is also reasonable.

We've been coming to this hole-in-the-wall Japanese restaurant since I was a kid. The atmosphere transports you to Japan with the decor and soft music played on a Japanese string instrument.
I recommend: Bentos (good combination of foods; if I'm unsure what I want, I get a bento) Chicken teriyaki Tonkatsu (fried pork cutlet) Tempura Nabeyaki Udon Oyakodon (egg & chicken over rice) Japanese curry with chicken katsu Gyoza (potstickers)
There is only one sushi chef, so know that if you order a lot of sushi, it may take a while to come.
In general, this restaurant serves food slowly, but it is worth the wait for how delicious it is. And if you order a bento, you will also get salad, miso soup, & sunomono which come out first.
They also give you free ice cream on your birthday.
Very non-descript place in a strip mall, but the food and service were excellent. As we perused the menu and tried to decide what the three of us wanted to order and possibly share, we saw the bento boxes that included a little of everything and for such a good price. The box A which I ordered had chicken teriyaki, tonkatsu, tempura, sushi rolls, and sashimi, plus a starter of miso soup, salad, and sunomono. We saw the folks around us and their various orders all looked like very generous portion sizes as well.
Very good Japanese restaurant. Sushi was good and sashimi was perfect. The fish that they serve is top quality!!

The sushi is great and is priced very reasonably. I usually sit at the bar and the Itamae checks in with me often. The complimentary green tea is surprisingly good too.

I love this place. Super high quality fish, really affordable too. Their omakase never disappoints, everything on the menu is a great portion size. Small dining area and decor makes this place feel so homey. The servers are always very sweet!

This place is very lovely and my family has been going here for years. I recommend the teriyaki chicken 🐔 😋
Wheelchair accessibility: There is a ramp near the door. However, the door is quite heavy, so it might be hard to open and wheel in at the same time.
