I am so happy a friend recommended this place to me!!!!…read more Definitely a hidden gem in downtown!! You cannot go wrong with anything on the menu, all of the curry they have is good. Just be careful with how much spice you ask for, a 3 was HOT! But very very good!! The Katsu was AMAZINGGGGGG and the portions are generous, it made great left overs! I am excited to go back and try their boba teas! The starters were amazing, I love crab Rangoon and these were fresh and amazing. We came 1 hour before close because of downtown traffic being so bad, they did not mind and served us fast and the waitress was so kind. It's a very laid back space with plenty of seating!

Proceed with caution. I'm 99% sure I got food poisoning from the tom yum noodle soup at this place…read more At the onset, the soup was okay once I flavored with extra spice and chili flakes, except the meatballs were gross and rubbery and the other meat seemed a little odd too. 10 hours post dinner, began my horrible stomach cramping/pain and other symptoms I won't disclose, which lasted through the entire next day. My other friend ordered the chicken lo mein, which also tasted syrupy and odd. I see the good reviews and I love Asian food, but something was off about the food at this place. The server was nice and friendly despite all of this and prices are very reasonable, but I won't go back to put myself through this pain again.

Came in on this Monday evening for dinner. First time in!…read more It was a welcoming environment with lots of seating booths and tables and bar. Good tunes playing during dinner. Food came out fast. The servers did a great job! Alcohol: Ume old fashion A peach of my heart Entrees: Mongolian beef plate Spicy miso with additional chicken The spicy miso was a bit too spicy for me, but I would recommend if you like spicier things. The Mongolian beef plate was savory and beef was flavorful.

This location is probably my favorite Ika location. We've gone here a few times now and each time…read morehas been delicious. We've gone with friends and on our own and there's always been a table ready pretty quickly and servers ready to get our orders. We recently went to dinner here and we were both hungry and eager for some Ramen. I ordered the Blackstone Tonk with an egg and my boyfriend ordered the Spicy Miso with extra noodles. The broth for mine was rich, flavorful, and warm. The pork was perfectly tender and the egg added texture and more flavor for me. My boyfriend is always happy with a little spicy heat in his meals and he was pleased with his choice. He may have added a little more spice but that's just because he's evolved his tastebuds to handle it. Anytime we decide to come to this Ika I know that the food and service will be consistent. The servers are always on point in checking on you, our waters were refilled a few times, and they never seem like they are rushing us out the door. On a different note, I also appreciate the decor and atmosphere in this location. The old brick walls and open space feels as though, and there probably is, a lot of history within the walls. Tucked away down an alley, this location is easy to miss but absolutely worth a try!

Blue sushi has been the number one recommended sushi spot by locals. I can confidently say that…read morethis one is in the top three for me for many reasons! One, the sushi is very fresh, delicious and good. My favorite was the salmon belly nigiri. Oh my gosh, melt in your mouth good. I wish I ordered more of those. I also got a scallop nigiri I didn't care for as much and a spicy tuna roll. The space is inviting. There's a bar, high top and regular seating. I came here without a reservation and was able to sit myself at the bar. However, I highly recommend making a reservation in advance because it's a popular spot. My server was great, super friendly and attentive. 10 out of 10 will be back. Looking forward to trying the Lincoln location too!

Food (5/5): Charred Edamame with spicy with garlic, tamari & togarashi Crispy Rice Cake Contains raw seafood, shellfish, beef or egg. topped with spicy bigeye tuna, scallion & tataki sauce Itchy Salmon: this odd little 2 pieces of warm spicy crab was good, but it had a really weird taste. Hot popper: This roll was my hubby's favorite. It was tempura jalapeño and cream cheese wrapped in a soy paper. Truffle salmon: I loved the seared salmon that was lightly drizzled with truffle oil. Tidal Wave: This was my absolute favorite - the tempura crab and cream cheese was a really great roll. Service (4/5): A bit slow - we went here twice. Atmosphere (4/5): We first came in around 6pm and it was crowded..We were able to get a seat at the bar. The second time we came in right when it opened and got a lovely seat against the window.

The food itself and the service and speed definitely make up for the lackluster space though! My go to is usually the garlic green beans, but I've also really enjoyed the salmon and the Korean BBQ dish! The veggies are always fresh and crisp and the flavors are spot on. We appreciate the quick service - we've dined in, ordered takeout and even utilized delivery platforms and had great service each time.

I was very impressed with Ika this time around! I had been…read moregoing for the ramen the last few times but after I was disappointed in the flavor, I hadn't gone back for a while. I went with a friend and got the salmon rice bowl, WOW was it good!! Way better than their ramen, it was great fish, a bit of spice, SUPER crisp cucumbers, and fresh bok choy. The service was quick, they took their time preparing the food fresh and it showed. The new canned cocktail they have, 1/2 lemonade and 1/2 tea, was PHENOMENAL! It's a casual spot but if you want to go in for a nice dinner or lunch with your friends, no one will look at you funny for dressing up!

I have a long term love affair with Ika, but hadn't been back for a pause, and had to stop in to…read moresee my old fling. The Skinny Jane Ramen actually healed my soul with its lush flavor. Cilantro broth is both fresh and hearty at the same time. I love how accommodating they are with the dictionary for terms on the menu and a readiness to swap out ingredients to accommodate my vegetarian preferences. The spicy edamame had a true kick to it! Also, you must check out the sake bar underneath the restaurant in the evenings. Small and personal it fits right alongside Ika's vibe and includes some new cocktails.

I recently visited Salween with a coworker for lunch. We only had an hour, so we chose it because…read moreit's close to work. When we arrived, the restaurant was pretty empty and there was only one server, but since it wasn't busy, we figured it would be fine. She checked on us quickly, and the food came out fast. The food was delicious, as always. It was a colder day, so we both ordered soups, and they were perfect! Also, servings were big enough for left overs :) The only downside was at the end of our meal. We were trying to check out, and it took quite a while to track down the server so we could pay. We understand she was the only one working, but there were probably no more than three tables total and one takeout customer. We would've just left cash and gone, but since we had to pay with cards, we had to wait. I've tried to avoid going during busy times because I know service can get slow, but we thought it would be quicker with so few tables. It still took longer than expected. Other than that, the food was great. I love the coconut chicken soup, it's always amazing.
