If you can get a table this is a great place to come with a small group of friends and try a variety of small Japanese dishes. Service once you get seated is great and the dishes come out as they are made. Somethings to keep in mind though: 1. It is a small restaurant and gets packed on the weekends. I highly recommend making reservations before coming here. 2. The parking in this area is also terrible. If you get lucky and get a spot, GO YOU! More likely though you'll have to park a plaza over and walk over.
There are so many dishes here are a couple of my must tries:
Crab Fried Rice - It is worth the splurge for the crab meat. You will be able to see the chunks of meat and the flavor comes out beautifully.
Butterfish - Yes, this is one of the more expensive dishes and you may be sad at the size of the fish, but the taste is amazing. It is worth every penny!!
Skewers - For the more adventurous eaters this is always fun to introduce to new visitors of Ichiza. They do have usual beef and chicken skewers, but my favorites are the chicken gizzard, tongue, and liver skewers. The out of the box skewers are my go to
Also always remember to check out the specials! My most memorable special I have had was flying fish sashimi and it was delicious and had an amazing presentation. I've never gone wrong off the special menu, but it is always changing
This is definitely a fun restaurant to try :)
