    Hostess stand
    Sunday B.

    Came here on a Saturday for lunch. It's kinda hard to find since it's tucked behind a Starbucks but parking wasn't a problem. Super nice man greeted us and let us in a tad early since we got there a few mins before they opened at 12. I wasn't terribly hungry so I got a lunch special of two simple rolls 1. Tuna roll 2. Salmon roll. Both were fresh and had a nice presentation.

    Chicken Katsu

    The food here is of exceptional quality and is always really delicious. The matcha ice cream is some of the best I've tried. The servers are kind and happy to answer any questions I have about the dishes. I also really like the atmosphere of the restaurant, not to mention it's always kept very clean. Every time I stop in they're busy too, which I take as a good sign. It's one of my favorite places to visit when in the area and I highly recommend it.

    Sesame Green Bean

    I had had takeout from Ikeda before but had only tried the green beans and eggplant so decided to give dine-in a chance and order more. Unfortunately, there aren't a lot of plant-based options on the menu and I'm vegan so the choices were limited. I LOVED the eggplant per usual. It is so tender and flavorful. Truly divine! I also LOVE the green beans which are incredibly flavorful. I used the leftover sauce from the green beans to dip the sushi in and it was excellent. I ordered the vegetable sushi roll in soy paper, as well as the vegan hand rolls. Both were good, but not incredible. The eggplant and green beans were definitely the standouts! I hope they will add additional plant based options in the future! We also had excellent service. The waitress was very helpful in letting us know The vegan options and even brought a couple plant-based sauces for us to try. :)

    Yellowtail Kama (1pc), Orange Roll, and Salmon Sashimi
    Marcel E.

    We absolutely love Ikeda! Our go-to order is always the salmon carpaccio, garlic green beans, yuzu roll, orange roll, mixed tempura, gyoza, and kama--available in either yellowtail or salmon. The kama is first come, first serve -- and since it's everyone's favorite, they sometimes run out, which is a total bummer--but I get it. It's that good! Our waitress, Ava, is amazing! She's friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable -- she even remembered us from the last time. I definitely recommend Ikeda for a date night, especially after a relaxing massage next door at Divine Foot Spa. It's the perfect combo for a great evening!

    So good we came back for seconds. I've been hosting my brother and his fiancé this past week and took them to Ikeda for lunch. They loved the experience so much that they asked to come back for round two before returning to Arizona. We ordered a variety of dishes for the table, starting with appetizers, including edamame and tempura. The tempura dish is stacked with deep fried squash, carrots, shrimp, and broccoli. Deliciously unhealthy. We also shared the rainbow roll, Garfield roll, baked salmon roll, baked scallop roll, and chicken karrage. Overall, Ikeda provides a fantastic sushi with fresh ingredients and well-executed dishes. If you're a fan of baked rolls or fried sides, this is a spot you shouldn't miss.

    Chef's choice sashimi
    Trina B.

    Service was great, Food was even better. Loved the location! Not too noisy, plenty of tables. Just the right amount of people on a Saturday night at 7pm. The garlic edamame was fantastic and the super volcano roll is going to be a new favorite. We ordered the chef's choice sashimi plate and each piece was great- the Tuna, salmon, and I think Albacore. We also had the Caterpillar roll and it didn't disappoint! Overall a great Caterpillar experience. We will be back and highly recommend!

    The Vegas, Jason roll and Cherry Blossom

    They have the best sushi and calamari. We love it! We have gone to other sushi places that our friends recommend, but the sushi doesn't seem as fresh and flavorful as Ikeda's. They are very consistent. The sushi is always prepared and always tastes the same, and is the same size.

    Restaurant tucked away behind the Starbucks drive thru. I was able to phone in my order and pick up within 15 minutes. I stopped in around 2:30PM for a late lunch and only a couple of tables were taken, so it's a good time to avoid the crowd. I ordered the Orange Roll, which is a shrimp tempura roll topped with salmon. Since I got my order to go, the spicy mayo and eel sauce were packed in a small cup. I also got the Cherry Blossom Roll, which was a spicy tuna roll topped with tuna, green onion, and masago. Personally, I loved the Orange Roll the best! When I picked up my order I was pleasantly surprised to get the BOGO 50% off deal, they automatically gave me the discount. Yummy lunch and a great deal, can't go wrong!

    Surf Roll
    Samantha I.

    I'm so happy that my usual sushi spot was closed on Sunday afternoon, because it led me to find Ikeda. The lunch specials were a great deal. They came with miso soup which was flavorful and had plenty of tofu pieces, 5 pieces of sushi or 6 pieces of sashimi, and a roll. I recommend choosing the sashimi - the pieces were large and the fish was clean and fresh. The dragon roll (california roll topped with eel) tasted amazing. I also really liked the garfield roll, which was a california roll topped with baked salmon. Lastly, we ordered a surf roll and I loved the seaweed salad on top! My husband said it was like a dessert roll. All the rolls were thick and well portioned. I will definitely come back and recommend to others. Service was friendly and efficient and there was nice ambiance. I think they still had their romantic Valentine's Day Playlist on because there was a lot of Bryan Adams and Celine Dion playing.

    Cherry Blossom Roll
    Deb H.

    Solid sushi with a variety of specialty rolls. Everything was of good quality! Not amazing but still really good. Even though they delivered from Huntington Beach all the way to Newport Beach, the food was packaged well and the sushi arrived still cool which was good. The California roll was great and my kids enjoyed it. My husband enjoyed the cherry blossom roll (spicy tuna with raw tuna and masago on top). I liked the Orange Roll which was salmon on top with shrimp tempura, cucumber and avocado inside however it had A TON of cucumber like too much which I picked some out. My favorite roll was the Washington Roll that had the special sauce. It had a lot of onions but they were easy to pick off and I did enjoy some of them. Overall Ikeda Japanese Dining was a good choice for sushi delivery and while I won't be eating on the regular however I will for sure order delivery from them again in the future!

    I'm certain Post-Covid things changed, what is the lunch menu now aside from 12noon-3:30pm, are dishes smaller sized and prices different from the dinner menu? Are there happy hour special prices as well? Thank you.

    I hear they have a gluten free menu. Anyone have a picture of it? Are there any cooked/pregnancy safe rolls on the gluten free menu? Being celiac and pregnant is really putting a damper on my ability to eat sushi.

    There are gluten free options and cooked rolls
