    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

We went on Friday night and I was surprised that we were seated right away. The service was great and friendly and the restaurant itself felt cozy and high-end. We ordered the garlic parm fries, momonoki chicken wings, and dashi pesto. The garlic parm fries were crispy and fresh and were like the best version of a McDonald's or Potato Corner fry. I could smell the garlic as soon as the fries came to the table but unfortunately, the taste wasn't as strong as I was hoping. Still really delicious, but the high price point means I probably wouldn't order this again. The chicken wings came out next and they were HUGE. They were super juicy inside and the fish sauce glaze was strong and had a nice kick. I appreciated that despite being glazed, the wings were still pretty crispy. The slaw that came on the size was a little heavy on the mayo and had a bright peppery taste. Definitely a nice fresh component to an otherwise heavy meal. Finally, the dashi pesto came out and the udon was perfectly bouncy. The pesto had a subtle seafood flavor and was very herbaceous. Most pesto I'm used to pack more of a sharp, garlicky punch, but this one leaned heavily into the fresh basil which I enjoyed. The scallops on top were also cooked beautifully. I was a bit sad that we received each dish at very different times, the dash pasta coming out much much later than the fries but they did warn us after we placed our order that the kitchen would be very busy so I appreciated the heads up. All in all, I think this is such a fun and classy fusion restaurant and they executed very well.

From the moment mine companions and I crossed the threshold, we were greeted with warmth and cheer, as though we were cherished guests returning home from a long and weary journey. Upon our departure, the farewells were equally heartfelt, leaving us with the feeling that we had dined not amongst strangers, but amongst dear friends. The atmosphere within was calm and comforting, familiar in a way that soothed the soul. In a world filled with noisy feasting halls and chaotic marketplaces, this establishment stood as a peaceful sanctuary where one might rest and enjoy a most noble meal. The serving folk were nothing short of extraordinary. Attentive without hovering, quick of wit, and brimming with personality, they carried themselves with the sort of genuine hospitality that cannot be taught by any guild or academy. Every interaction felt sincere and full of heart. Now, let us speak of the pan-fried gyoza, for I fear words alone may fail to capture its greatness. These glorious parcels arrived golden and crisp upon the outside, yet tender and delicate within. Each bite tasted as though it had been crafted by hand moments before reaching the table. Were I granted a chest of gold, I would gladly spend it all upon another plate. And lo! The White Peach Seltzer. Good people, I have sampled beverages from many corners of the kingdom, from noble feasts to humble roadside inns, and never in my years have I encountered a seltzer so divine. It was refreshing beyond measure, kissed with the perfect essence of white peach. Had a celestial spring existed in the heavens themselves, I imagine it would taste much the same. Perhaps most admirable of all was the story behind this fine establishment. The keepers spoke of their history and journey with such authenticity and pride that one could not help but feel invested in their success. Nothing felt rehearsed or hollow; their passion was as real as the food upon the table. I departed with a full belly, a joyful heart, and a solemn vow to return many times henceforth. This shall become one of my regular gathering places, and I shall recommend it to all wandering souls seeking comfort, hospitality, and a feast worthy of legend. Five stars. Five crowns. Five royal decrees of approval. "Should destiny guide thee to this ramen house, enter without hesitation. Thy taste buds shall sing songs of victory long after the meal is done."

I'm not sure if I'll be back because the food is not really in line with what my boyfriend likes, but for me, it was good.
