| - Went and ate at Ichiza last night based off of all the reviews I have read on Yelp. And I have to say that I loved it. Had a short wait when we arrived, but I think you get that at all good places, and we were seated in less then 10 minutes. The menu items written all over the walls were fun to read and interpret, but I wonder if I missed out on anything good because I didnt see it written somewhere. :) And some of them were written only in Japanese, so I wondered what they were. Next time I am going to order all the items I cant read, and just be surprised when thing show up. "I'll take that, and that, and that..."
We ordered the deep fried baby soft shell crabs, marinated minced spanish mackerel, Kimchi fried rice, tartar yellowtail, wasabi green bean tempura, and the Mapo-tofu (all for only $44, including 2 large Sapporos). Everthing was great. The yellowtail was recommended by several people on Yelp, and I agree with them. It was great. A little messy, but I didnt mind that. The baby soft shell crabs kind of caught me by surprise, because they werent kidding about "baby" These little things looked like they had just been born, and hadnt had time to grow a shell yet...But they were very tasty. I liked the Marinated Spanish mackerel, served on top of a cucumber wedge, and the Kimchi fried rice was very good too. The beer prices were great too. $5.50 for a large Sapporo, I have paid alot more than that at other places.
The staff was all very friendly, and helpful, and I think everyone who worked there said good bye, and see you next time, as we were leaving. I will diffinately be going back. In fact, I cant wait too.
UPDATE: went here again Saturday evening and it was even better the second time. I'm upgrading Ichiza to 5 stars.
