The salmon with sesame miso, bubu arare, and white truffle oil was unforgettable. Lalo also recommended the Suigei "Drunken Whale" sake, which paired perfectly with our meal. Thank you to Lalo, Chef Mark, Chef Asher, and Chef Ian for making the evening so memorable. They were welcoming, interactive, attentive to allergies and dietary preferences, and made the experience feel personal. Watching the team celebrate together at the end of the night was the perfect finish. Exceptional food, genuine hospitality, and one of the most enjoyable dining experiences I've had in years. We'll definitely be back.

Long time::: I've been stopping through for 20+ years when…read morethe enthusiasm and food draws me. They have changed a bit over the years, all steel table grills now with bar chairs around. Settings for 8-20 with high chairs and groups settled together but somewhat by pairs or groupings. An hour wait line starts almost at opening and allows time to settle in the rather large (50?) bar area for appetizers, sushi rolls and a wide variety of drinks while waiting. (Without waiting for the tables, it has been suggested the bar with sushi, etc is available first come first serve as group seatings and bar/app service cycle through. *The spectacle is well done by the chef, bouncing and spinning food parts and knife work with visual panache. Basic core meal is veggies grilled in shifts, salad and soup, and the different meals are your selection by meat/fish type. Each person gets their selection and are served up when each item is cooked on the sequence. This gives continual feed, not accumulating to pile up a whole plate to eat later. Upcharge for fried rice, but good flavor and inclusions and about double the amount of the white steamed rice. *Emperors Plate has most everything, beef, shrimp, lobster, and the full round of veggies with soup and salad. Quite a good quantity. And a scoop of orange sherbet to finish. *Most meals have enough for some take home pack with bean sprouts, rice, some of the main. *Meals have enough for a couple small appetites to share, or a full meal with an extra plate will get the added soup, salad... with the servings split to smaller quantity for the extra plate. Seems that is done frequently, especially if appetizer or sushi rolls are added on from waiting time or startup at the table. Flavors: several sauces are provided as cooking and as dipping sauce, one garlic tamari(?), and a light ginger dip sauce. There are 2-4 flare up sessions on the grill as start of next portion starts to cook. This removes some of the moisture, gives a surface flavor and texture, as well as burns off the alcohol (brandy?) leaving a bit of caramelized flavor as retained on the grill that is cleared between courses. Thus a flare of fire, and a poof of steam. Seeing these at your own table as well as scattered around the room is impressive. ** Good flavor, good selections, great spectacle, always worth coming back and waiting time. Don't come before another event because this can easily be 2hr+ from arrival to exit, but you are there with the ones you brought for company in the first place. It's worth it. Japanese palace is a place that calls me back sporadically, not as costly as a core steakhouse, but lots more pomp and show. $$$ 20-50pp, additional depending on selections, drinks and apps...

Spectacularly overpriced, and none of the food items were as good as they are at other hibachi…read morerestaurants (flavorless steak, a lot of pepper in the fried rice, dry chicken). Except the crispy tempura sushi roll was awesome. We did get an entire fridge cake for free since we were celebrating a birthday, and it was a good cake. It took a long time to get seated and have our turn with the hibachi chef, too, even though we showed up before opening time at 5pm. There were seven people in our party, and no one felt it was worth it when the bill came. Maybe come here for sushi and drinks, but the hibachi food was disappointing.

A few friends and I stopped by Ichiro Izakaya Yakitori on a Saturday afternoon right when they…read moreopened at 4:30, and there was already a line forming outside. If you've been wanting to try this place, I'd definitely recommend arriving early. Parking was probably the most challenging part of the visit. There was a rummage sale happening nearby, so the area was busier than usual. They do have a designated parking lot, but it's very small and fills up quickly. Most people will likely need to rely on street parking, which took a little patience that day. The restaurant itself is tiny, but that's part of the charm. There's a bar area that seats around 10 to 12 people and only a handful of tables. We were a party of three and were seated right away, but I could see larger groups having a harder time finding space together. The tables are also on the smaller side, so once the food starts arriving things can get a little crowded. That said, the food completely lived up to the hype. Everything we ordered was delicious. The chicken karaage was crispy and flavorful, the marinated ribeye was tender and packed with flavor, and my favorite dish of the night was easily the beef yakisoba. We each ordered a starter, three skewers, and a side that our server recommended, and every plate disappeared quickly. The atmosphere felt lively and busy, with Japanese figurines and decorations displayed throughout the restaurant. I overheard another guest mention that it reminded them of places they had visited in Japan, which made me appreciate the attention to detail even more. One thing to note - we were told they don't split bills, which wasn't a problem for our group, but it's something to know ahead of time if you're dining with friends.

The vibes in this place were super cozy and the decor was a mix of traditional and modern Japanese…read more Be aware though, the space is smaller and the seats fill up fast! Something to know before choosing this spot is that it is tapas inspired so a majority of the items are small plates and the skewers come with one skewer per plate. Okay now for the goods, we ordered the following items: Starters Tebasaki Chicken Wings (5) Dumplings (6) Egg rolls (2) Skewers, seafood and sides Negima (chicken thigh) Scallops Shishito peppers Kamo negima (duck) Sweet Soy Ribeye Yakiton (pork belly) Kimchi bacon fried rice Naan bread The must haves that everyone should order are definitely the wings and egg rolls. The wings were almost like a Japanese style lemon pepper. Incredible and seasoned perfectly. The egg rolls had the most crunchy and perfect texture, the filling was balanced and the dipping sauce was the perfect accompaniment. For the skewers my favorite were the chicken thigh and pork belly. The seasoning and cook on both were spot on. The ribeye was good but it could have been cooked a little less, the duck was okay but the sauce is incredibly tart and needed a hint of sweetness and the scallops were cooked well but desperately needed some salt. The kimchi fried rice was delicious, they nailed the combo of salty bacon and kimchi with the fried egg and rice. Shishito peppers and naan were both good as well, peppers were crunchy and the naan has this incredible sticky sweet sauce on top. Our service was also great, the waiter explained the menu and even though the restaurant became busy he still maintained communication. Overall, we will absolutely be back. It's one thing to have a concept and another to execute it and they've done that. Great vibes, awesome service and delicious food.

For only $11.95 and & $10.95, we feasted on California rolls, crunchy & spicy crab rolls, and amazing sashimi. My only regret is not trying the mochi for dessert; that will be for our next visit.

It's those little personal touches that make this place so special. I grabbed a solo seat at the sushi counter since the restaurant was pretty packed. The atmosphere was great, everyone was enjoying dinner while watching the World Cup, making for a fun, lively evening. The food was every bit as good as I remembered, and the service remains outstanding. It's easy to see why this place stays busy. A few helpful notes: There's plenty of parking. They close after lunch and reopen for dinner, so check their hours before heading over. To-go orders are also available. I'll definitely be back and this time, it won't be nearly as long between visits. Highly recommend!

Pros: Peter, the owner and chef, greeted our table and told us his sushi specials, which are flown in special from Tokyo every Friday so they change weekly. We had the o-toro, chu-toro, aji, and fluke, and all were amazing quality and you got a lot of fish for the price. They have a lot of sushi combos and platters to service a variety of sizes of parties. We had the sushi combo which was plenty of fish, especially with the cut sizes. Wait staff was very attentive and helpful with the menu. Cons: the entrance is a little off putting but you shouldn't let that deter you. the french menu was lacking in my opinion. There is only one page of options, and we ended up not ordering anything french since the japanese was so appealing. I would've liked to see some seafood or more small plates. Overall the fish quality and piece sizes will keep me coming back! I definitely want to try some of the hot plate options as well. add it to your list!

This did not affect the quality of the food as it was very pleasing to look at as well eat. My partner and I began our meal with the karaage. At first glance they looked like fried chicken bites ,but were actually very tender and soft to chew on. The sauce with it was also very good to pair with the chicken. The ramens were packed with the flavor. Our choices were the to tonkotsu and spicy miso. The tonkotsu was super flavorful and I loved the bits off corn and I added minced pork for extra texture in the soup which was a great choice I would do again. The noodles were thinner than other ramens I have tried but still were very yummy and cooked well. The miso was a thicker soup with thicker noodles and the spiciness wasn't overwhelming. Both bowls were very full and we had left overs to save for later. Overall I enjoyed everything about the restaurant and I would recommend others to come and try it. I will definitely be back.

Shout out to Alex, very cool and helpful guy, plus he always caught any order I put in immediately. The wait is worth it but, great date night spot.
