    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.

    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. :)

    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.

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

    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.

    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!

    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!

    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

I pretty much love everything. I've been trying a lot of sushi restaurants lately, and for some reason Eat Sushi just didn't completely hit the spot for me. Don't get me wrong--the ingredients tasted fresh, from the seaweed to the fish, but some of the regular sushi felt like it was missing a little character or that extra something that makes you want another piece. Now, the sashimi and the no-rice sushi? Those are the ones to look out for. Really good flavor and definitely the standouts of our meal. Service was fast and efficient, although it came across a little snobbish at times. The place itself is okay, but it can get pretty crowded, especially during peak hours, and expect a line when it gets busy. Portions were decent, prices were fair, and there's a good variety for the whole family. I'd probably come back and focus more on the sashimi and some of their specialty items next time. Yelp me, Yelp you!

Not to be a hater. It's just nothing special. The service: the service was a bit of a mix, a girl came up to us. She was kind and the moment that she was at our table. It was nice, the part where it got difficult for me was, Juan it's a bit disorganized, most sushi spots are gonna have maybe a QR code that'll just go to their webpage and you can order from there or they will have one paper that has everything on it so that it makes everything easier for the customer. This place had three pages, with only writing on the front and it was extremely confusing plus if you finished and wanted to order again, but the other one hasn't come out then you have to wait for that one to come out. What really bothered me was we didn't necessarily order a lot but it was still taking 1520 minutes for one order of sushi to come out and we had no heads up on what was going on and it was taking a while for someone to even come and tell us what was going on. There wasn't very many people there when we first got there and yet it was still taking a long time for us to get our food. The food: the sushi was OK, I have to be very fair because I've been to plenty of sushi spots. I've been to some that are good and some that are bad and so unfortunately, yes, you can tell the difference. I'm not saying this place is bad, I'm saying it's OK. What really got me was more the service and the wait time and unfortunately, the sushi. I really hope this place stepped it up because I can see the potential and I know a lot of people will just go to any all. You can eat sushi spot, but I have to be fair to every other sushi spot as well. I feel like

The chicken was grilled and flavorful, cooked perfectly! It also came with tempura shrimp and veggies. Nothing was greasy, nice and fresh too. All of their lunch specials are competitively priced, compared to other lunch specials, not necessarily Japanese food and not as good as Matsu. I can't wait until my next visit. Note the hours.

The fried rice was very dry, undercooked, and lacked flavor, while the meats and vegetables were also undercooked. Overall, the quality of the meal was far below what we expected. I initially didn't want to make a big issue of it, but unfortunately, all of us became sick later that night. While I can't say with certainty that the food was the cause, the timing was certainly concerning. Based on our experience, I would not recommend this restaurant. Between the poor service, lack of attention to the dining experience, disappointing food quality, and what happened afterward, this was definitely not a place we would return to
