    I wish my meal looked like this everytime, chicken teriyaki on a good day!
    Nicole S.

    The food is good & this place has been in the mall a long time, which must speak for itself at some point, but there are flaws. I only order the chicken teriyaki. Here are the pros: 1. Simple ordering, limited menu so it seems they have done well in what they have to offer. 2. The meat is trimmed better from what it was like years ago. I am really glad they started paying more attention to this. 3. Generous helping, if you're going to go all in and need double the meat the day it's worth it & the pricing is fair. Here are my cons: 1. It is greasy, if you don't like grease this is not the place for you. 2. It's about the food and rush, rush, rush... I don't feel they are rude, hey are just in a hurry and keep pushing for upgrades. No I don't want an eggroll, no I don't want a drink, today I don't want double meat. 3. I have an issue with the sanitation. I keep telling myself everything is cooked so anything nasty goes away but sometimes when they just started cooking and I have a to wait a few minutes for everything to cook... well, you start looking around the work environment and questioning your choice of food for the day. Out of the 3093210321093 asian food places in the mall, this is the one I'd go to and like I said, this is the one that has lasted over the last fifteen or so years.

    I am writing this review not because I like eating at the mall. But if you are at the mall and want to grab a bite, this place is a "go to". I went shopping with the family and the wife got Chik Filet for the kiddo. We decided on Sarku. We got The Teriyaki Chicken and Teriyaki Beef and Shrimp. You have your choice if steamed white rice, fried rice, or steamed vegetables. All very tasty. Don't get suckered by the cook at the end asking for an a dollar for a scoop of extra Teriyaki sauce, it comes for free. Will eat here again when we are the mall.

    This place is pretty good for a quick meal at the mall but doesn't taste like your regular old "food court" food from the mall. The food is made fresh to order , not just sitting under a heating light like other Asian places.

    Never a disappointment here. I get the teriyaki chicken and shrimp over fried rice, don't forget the Siracha.

    By far my favorite place to get chicken and shrimp teriyaki. I just wish they were not inside the mall because you have to put up with mall traffic inside and outside honestly think this place would do good on another location but till they move I will continue to come inside the mall to get my chicken and shrimp teriyaki. It is a little pricey maybe since i get a drink and spring rolls but still once in awhile doesn't hurt.

    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.

    Overall, I did enjoy the restaurant, but I think you have to go into it with some insights that…read morewould've been much appreciated if I had them prior to going. First and foremost, the bill cannot be split per an item ordered by an individual. You either split it equally, or it's paid in full. I went to dine with two other individuals, and we all ordered without knowing this which was rather confusing when the check came. Next, while they recommend what you order in select categories, be aware that your food is not going to be coming out in the order with which each the categories sit. We were getting items that were listed in the third category, so what should've been eaten prior to dessert before we got any of the yakitori. The location is downtown so be aware of parking, I recommend coming early, or when they open because it gets full quickly we got there at opening, but there was already a line to get in and eat by the time we were leaving. The restaurant is also relatively small, so leave what you can in the car. We didn't have anywhere to place purses so I ended up sitting with mine behind me. It was also difficult because the plates didn't fit on the table as they brought them out because we weren't eating in the course order. Lastly, remember the name of everything that you get. I ordered mushrooms, shiitake, we got mushrooms dropped to the table, but they weren't the correct ones and that seemed like a bit of an issue. The food was good, I would say the best part was definitely the yakitori, and the main dish items. I could take or leave the appetizers, the tonkatsu wasn't memorable for me, it tasted like the meat wasn't seasoned enough with salt and pepper prior to coating in flour and breadcrumbs. I also think the tonkatsu sauce was a bit bland that sat on top of it and it's something I prefer to have on the side. The highlights my meal were all of the yakitori, I enjoyed the chicken breast, soy ribeye, and shiitake mushrooms. I also liked the beef yakisoba, it's nice that they had the Japanese mayo on the side of it. I think when that's included, it always adds a nice richness. I was also a bit disappointed with the yuzu lemonade since it didn't have dried citrus in it, I'd seen prior. I thought about getting the high ball, but that was because I like the look of it overall so I was happy I didn't. If my friends wanted to go back, I would, but I don't think this is something I'd seek out
