Food is amazing and so is customer service. place is super clean and aesthetic. Their music is also great.

I've been to the Port Washington location before, but found myself near Mineola and decided to give this location a try. The restaurant is casual with both takeout and dine-in options, but still feels like a place where you can sit down and enjoy your meal. Since I was with my kids, we sat in the café area instead of at the bar. We ordered the family meal, which came with two appetizers and two ramen bowls. The chicken karaage was probably the favorite appetizer at the table it was crispy, flavorful, and not greasy at all. I also ordered two sushi rolls , and they satisfied my sushi craving. I also liked that they offer boba and fruit teas, which were a big hit with the kids. Everything came out fresh and we left full and happy. What stood out most was the service. Our seating area had a bit of a draft, and our server noticed it and adjusted the temperature without us even mentioning it. Small gesture, but it made a difference. Overall, a great family-friendly meal and I'll definitely be back. read more

The restaurant itself is very clean and nicely decorated, and the sushi bar area is a cute touch. Since they're relatively new, the space feels fresh and inviting. Food-wise, it was a mixed experience. I ordered the Create Your Own Udon with shoyu broth and fatty beef. The beef was excellent. It's tender, flavorful, and probably my favorite thing we ordered. Unfortunately, the broth was extremely salty. I normally enjoy salty foods, but this was too much even for me. The Samurai Chicken Meatballs weren't for me. They had a strong ginger flavor that I wasn't expecting, and the texture/flavor combination felt a bit unusual. The Chicken Teriyaki Bowl was decent and the chicken was cooked well, but it was also on the salty side. For drinks, the Taro Dream Boba wasn't sealed properly. When I inserted the straw, the drink spilled out from the side because part of the seal wasn't fully attached. The Summer Lovin' Tea was overwhelmingly sweet, and there didn't appear to be an option to adjust sweetness when ordering. Overall, while the restaurant looks great and some items showed promise, the food was generally too salty and the drinks were disappointing. Personally, I probably won't be returning anytime soon, especially with so many strong Japanese restaurants nearby. read more

Ikedo Japanese Eatery - Ramen Near Me - Mineola, New York

I had been meaning to try some of the food here, but my friend and I were already full and just wanted to stop by to see what they had. We ended up sharing a matcha strawberry shake, and it was very fluffy--I loved it. Honestly, it tasted more like a parfait. I think it technically was more of a parfait than a shake, just whipped really nicely. Even though we were already full, it didn't feel heavy or like a burden to finish. It was easy to share and just really enjoyable. The atmosphere around this place is also great. It feels traditional and high-tech at the same time. The mix of neon lights and the wooden aesthetic is peak Japanese coolness. We definitely want to come back and actually order food like ramen, but for now, I want to give this place its flowers and five stars based on my overall impression and the dessert I had. read more

Stopped in after the 7th street Burger experience because my friends wanted to stop in. This is a very attractive business with two section inside, I'm thinking, hot food and sushi rolls are in the rear section and it he front section would be street food, parfaits, and bobas. I requested the matcha parfait, minus whip cream and I requested very little cinnamon toast crunch but it appears as if it was filled from the bottom to the top, top to the bottom. It had more toast crunch than a little bit. I think you get the message by now, moving on! It was not enjoyable, the matcha was almost non existent and almost warm. I ate what I could and threw the rest away. Customer service was really great except for the request for less crunch. I'm really indecisive on returning to try something else! Inspire more, yelp more! read more

Ikedo has arrived in Mineola! Their Coming Soon sign was posted for many months before they actually opened, so the anticipation was fierce! It's a really lovely space! Nicely decorated; with a casual yet upscale feel to it! There are two kinds of seating: 1). For a more casual meal (or takeout), order at the kiosks or at the counter. There are plenty of seating for self serve meals in front of the restaurant. 2). For Table service, head towards the back of the restaurant, towards the Sushi bar. I went there for a quick takeout order. This is what I ordered: -- Pork Katsu w.curry Donburi ($16): the Pork Katsu came on top of a bed of rice, and the curry sauce came in a separate container. I appreciated the separate packaging that kept the pork Katsu fresh & crispy, until I got home. Really tasty meal! -- Chicken Karrage (complimentary): this was fantastic!! Dare I say, I enjoyed this even more than the Pork Katsu w.curry?! Go figure! It was a very generous portion (about 4 large pcs), came with a dipping sauce, and was just delicious. They are running a Grand Opening Special: free chicken karrage or gyoza with entree ($14+) purchase. Get this while you can! Customer service was warm and friendly. Service was pretty quick! I got my takeout meal within 10 min. Parking: plenty of free parking since they're located in a small shopping plaza. If the main lot is full, there is also a larger lot across the street. Looking forward to a return visit to explore Ikedo's menu! read more

A new ramen shop opened up in Mineola and we had to go check it out. Located in a strip mall next to Chipotle, Panera, MÓGŪ, a pizzeria and 7th street burger is Ikedo. Ambience: Walking in, the restaurant is separated into two parts. The front of the restaurant is set up like fast casual I.e. Chipotle, where you order the food, find a table and are served food in To Go containers. The back of the restaurant is a large sushi counter with sit down service, plates and silverware. Food: We ordered: Chicken Kaarage - pieces of fried boneless chicken thigh. 4/5 Curry Katsu - fried pork chop with curry sauce on the side. The pork chop was a little dry. 4/5 Steak Appetizer - flavorful and tender slices of steak. 4/5 Tuna Party - a set of hand rolls made right in front of you. This was the highlight of the meal. The rice was hot right out of the rice cooker. You are presented with one roll at a time. 5/5 Tipping is optional as they have a no tipping policy. read more

Ikedo Japanese Eatery - Tonkotsu bowl - Ramen Near Me - Mineola, New York

I went there with my two young kids for dinner. It was like self service so you have to look for your own table and it was a bit difficult because seating is limited there. We ordered on the kiosk and it didn't applied the BOGO drink which then i saw a promotion sign later which was disappointment. I ordered a ramen and my order came out wrong so the lady took it back and i guess just take out the ingredients and put the right ones in? Because the pork were the same two piece( btw pork chasu color looked grey) and good thing we don't have any allergy imagine if we do and are allergic to any and they just serve you the same bowl. Then later on as i was chewing the pork i was like how come this part is so chewy and spitted out and noticed it was whole bunch of strings. On the positive side the beef donburi rice bowl was tasty but for $16 i was expecting a little more rice? It was a thin layer with meat on top. But it was tasty. Also there was an event there so maybe they prioritized the event more than the usual customers so the food wasn't as intended i assumed? Might give it another try on a different day without any event happening in there. read more

Ikedo Japanese Eatery - Chasu pork string i almost ate( my daughter might had ate it without even knowing). - Ramen Near Me - Mineola, New York

I have come into this location before I got the Mango Madness Boba drink. I also then got dumplings. The drink was delicious the last time I was here, but the dumplings were cold when they came out. The manager came over and fixed it for us. I have never taken out and have only eaten in at this location. I'm now back again, and I decided to get the mango drink once more and the Ikedo fried rice with added on chicken. Unfortunately, the Mango Madness Boba drink is watery and unfortunately, I'm not the only one to think that. As I was looking at the menu earlier before ordering, another customer told them that his drink was way too watery as well and that it didn't taste right at all. Seems that there's an issue here. The Ikedo fried rice looks better on the menu than it is. The rice has mushrooms in it and I love mushrooms, but unfortunately, the entire thing tastes of an odd, unappetizing and overpowering mushroom flavor. It doesn't even taste like fried rice at all. There was hardly any chicken in it as well and I had to ask the manager for more. She was skeptical and I told her I could show her my fried rice or we could just not go back-and-forth about it, and after that interaction, she gave me some more chicken. Unfortunately though even the chickens tasted off - like plastic a bit... As you can see in the photos, I kind of drowned the entire dish in Katsu sauce and bang bang sauce to get rid of the weird mushroom and plastic chicken flavors. Unfortunately, they tried, but it just missed the mark. Hoping the location will see this and do something about all of this. read more

Ikedo Japanese Eatery - Ramen and chicken - Ramen Near Me - Mineola, New York

Good portion for lunch special but one thing - WAY TOO MUCH SALT ! TOO MUCH sodium. Their Yuzi lemonade cant adjust sugar level too, very surprised as all tea places allow customers to choose sugar level. Anyways high sugar, high salt high carbs .. So if u are health conscious, this place is not for you. But the place is clean , lots of natural lights I wish they would more seats than just stools with no back . read more

Ikedo Japanese Eatery - Ramen , TOO SALTY!!! - Ramen Near Me - Mineola, New York

Teriyaki chicken over rice is good value for $10. Needs a little more sauce for the flavor but nice portion definitely filling. Scallion pancakes are delicious. So are the gyoza. My daughters liked everything. Front area is nice needs a little more seating. The back area wasn't open yet. Will probably be back since we're in the shopping center often. read more

i ordered one 2 rolls and they lowk tasted like rubber and were in a fridge, then the lychee potion tea tasted Like bitter orange tees and water. place was empty too Good service tho read more

Enjoyed this new ramen/sushi place in Mineola. The ramen was solid, the staff very friendly and helpful.

I used to visit Ikedo in Carle Place for the ramen and it was pretty good for the area but I've been eagerly waiting for this new location. Unfortunately, during their soft opening period, the ramen was not the best compared to what I remember. We ordered for take out and the ramen and broth was extremely oily, so much where I had to spoon off the top layer a few times. The ramen was much chewier than other noodles I've had, similar to the yellow Chinese noodles in a noodle shop. However, the rice dishes we ordered were very good! We ordered the curry chicken katsu over rice and the teriyaki chicken over rice. The curry was very homey and the chicken was nice and crispy. It was also a really big portion. The teriyaki chicken dish also tasted much better than it looked. My wife agreed that she would order it again. Finally, we ordered the small gyoza which my 5 yr old happily devoured. Haven't had a chance to try the hand rolls yet but hopefully the ramen will be better next time. Worth a visit to try their rice dishes currently and it looks like they have great lunch specials etc. read more

Wow where do I even begin, I walked in one day and I saw the what I can assume is the owner cursing at her employees. Clearly that's not how to talk to people, I had placed a big order and got some drinks as well 1. The owners language was disgusting 2. My food was cold and missing some item 3. The boba portion of the drinks were horrible I came only 2 times and the drinks tasted completely different they must be changing the recipes or something, the boba was not fully cooked and was not sweet at all and then the "ikedo craft drinks" are too sweet it's ridiculous why can't I Adjust my sugar levels If your reading this please do yourself a favor just pick different place read more

Ikedo is a really good place. The donburi here is really amazing. 10/10 recommend it.

A hidden gem just opened. Excellent food Relaxing atmosphere sushi bar in the rear is excellent

1 star. The sushi was terrible and clearly not fresh. It honestly tasted like it was taken straight out of the fridge and served right away. The "lychee drink" was even worse -- it was basically water with orange food dye and orange peels floating in it, and it tasted nothing like lychee. Everything felt cheap and disappointing for the price. Definitely would not come back. read more

I wanted very much to like this place, the concept is great. I tried it twice too. First and foremost, if this restaurant advertises that they offer sushi and all the other things like bubble teas, bowls, etc. it should all be available to order in the restaurant. We went to eat as a family and we sat in front because we wanted things there but we also wanted sushi. NOPE. Told we can't get it unless we sit at the hand roll bar in back. Fine. We were disappointed bc we had looked at menu in advance and were so excited to eat everything. We finish that meal and they have a rewards system when you pay. I earn rewards and decide I will come back to try again. Well nope all wrong again. So since we couldn't get sushi the first time we decide to have sushi at the bar. Ordered basic rolls and figure you're not cooking it, just rolling it. Took 30 min just sitting there. The guy apologizes bc literally it should not have taken that long. At this point I'm annoyed and asked to pay and apply my rewards...would you believe they say you can't use the rewards from front in the back. But it's one restaurant. Ridiculous. And for this I will never return. read more

very great atmosphere and food. 10/10 will come back to this place service was fast and amazing.
