This place is truly a different dining experience. I guess that is why there are so many reviews. I usually consider myself adventures with food, but this was totally different. Thank goodness for yelpers! If it wasn't for the other reviews, we wouldn't have known what to order.
Ichiza is located in a tiny strip mall with crappy parking. It's upstairs, so if you didn't know to look for this place, you would never think to stop here for food. Especially because there are about 3 other similar food places in the same strip mall. This restaurant is tiny! It has a few stools at the counter and then some low tables to sit on the floor and then a few regular tables at the front. There is a menu and then there are food selections around on the walls that are written in Japanese with some English descriptions.
So we based our order on recommendations from fellow yelpers and they were right on. I played it safe and had the beef bowl. It was really good with a decent portion size. We finished with the honey toast and I gotta say, that alone was worth the trip. It's this dessert that looks like they baked a loaf of bread and cut it in half. Then they cut a square out of the center so the outer crust is separated from the inner soft bread. Then they pour honey inside and top it with vanilla ice cream. WOW!
I highly recommend trying Ichiza!
