Checked out Ichiriki for lunch today with a few coworkers and I was not impressed. Once seated, it took about 10-15 min. before the waitress came back to take our order.
Our meals (2 lunch specials - $13 and the tempura shrimp lunch set - $11) took a long time to arrive, almost 25 minutes which I think for lunch downtown on a weekday is a bit ridiculous.
I found the tempura to be extremely heavy and oily. It left a very unpleasant greasy coating in my mouth which is just gross. Plus they forgot my salad that was suppose to come with the meal.
The lunch special was a mix bag of stuff - chicken fried rice, California rolls, 2 salmon pieces, salad, tempura shrimp and deep fried dumplings. The folks who had the special seemed to like it but it didn't look that appetizing to me.
Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go blot the oil off my tongue.
