“Very nice food either you want a meal to get full or just snack. Special deal have great price.”
“I have been here maybe ten times and everytime the service is quick and food is so good and tastes like a home cooked meal. The onigiri and bao $12 meals are my favorite to get as they are so filling and are a nice hearty meal without burden.”
“The ramen spicy soup is good and also pork chashu is the best. 👍🏻”
“My family and I were nearby and hungry. Little did we know this would be some of the most delicious Japanese food we’ve had! The bentos are delicious and all components well done, and we hear the ramen is incredible as well. Staff very kind and outgoing, great vibes overall.”
“Nice clean casual spot with minimal seating. Got the Chicken karrage bowl was good with curry sauce they have other sauce options hope to try again my meal came with miso soup. And decided to try the bao the bun was good but felt the pork was a bit dry and kimchi made it a bit soggy messy. Overall great experience hope to go again”
“Ichi is a great little Japanese place with a fairly large menu compared to its size. I loved the large communal table and great decor. The food is awesome, try the Japanese fried chicken.”
“Найкращі враження🤗 дуже смачно, персонал дуже привітний і ввічливий! Чекали не довго, все свіже! Мої рекомендації💗”
“We stopped here on a whim when we were in the area & so glad we did! Friendly service and the curry ramen was absolutely delicious. Perfectly cook egg, slurpy noodles and I’ll be thinking about that curry broth 🤤. BF got the spicy tonkotsu pork which he also enjoyed and said it was that addictive kind of spiciness. We will definitely go out of our way to come back !!! & Looking forward to trying other menu items.”
“Very friendly staff. Super helpful and passionate about their food.”
“Japanese "home cooking" such as ramen ,bento and donburi are served in a casual environment, The overall food price is pretty fair and delicious. The only dislike I've had was the bubble tea/ smoothie, it did not tasted like it was made from fresh fruits. Other than that please come try the salmon bento🍱🍱🍱🍱🍱”
“Take out food. This is my go to place to pick up true Japanese bento boxes and onigori. I love the Japanese chicken, the salmon or mackerel, if they have it, bento box and the tuna mayo onigori. I choose the mixed appetizer and brown rice for the bento. Delicious to eat there if there is room at the one big table with a friend. One of the only Japanese carryout place I know of in the area. Their restaurant Torino is the place to go if you want to dine in. Or Akai Hana is in the same parking lot if you want to dine in.”
