After landing in SF, we were craving for Japanese food. with Yelp recommending this restaurant that’s close to the hotel, we came to try them out with high expectations. The restaurant was crowded and we thought the food must be very good. But it didn’t meet our expectations. Starting with the sushi roll, the rices were too mushy and too sour. They were definitely not what we used to in LA. The salmon teriyaki was over cook so the fish was very dry. Flavor was good though. I lost my appetite after taking a couple of bites. Atmosphere was good and the crowd seemed to enjoy the food. Maybe the people’s taste here are different LA. The food were on the pricey side.

This restaurant used to be my favorite. But they have made some radical decisions on how they serve their sushi just recently. Fish/rice ratio has been significantly changed. It's a premium chef roll, but look how much fish in there. It was also missing the taste. Me and my friends are highly disappointed. We may give Ichika some time to recover their quality back again.

I shared an order of fish tacos on crispy seaweed with a buddy. Surprisingly good! I had the ramen noodles with pork and my buddy had the beef teriyaki. Both were solid dishes. Nice to see Brisbane have a good Japanese joint!

New comments 2/25/2023 : Appreciated the owner’s positive and sincere attitude. I’ve changed a rating from 1 star to 4 stars. Hopefully they’ll improve their services and not losing their regular customers again because they used to be a good Japanese restaurant. Old comments : Used to be a regular customer here until the service became terrible, and unreasonable long queue even though before 6pm. The last time we been there, we spent over usd100 dollars. When we were about to finish, they were kind of hurry to give us a bill. We had been waited about 1.5 hours and only seated around 30mins, the server was pushing to get their table back. Were we at the fast food restaurant!! Well, you’re not the only one Japanese restaurant in SF. Really disappointed.

Delicious sushi, served fast with exceptional service. I might have found my new favorite sushi place in the area. It's fairly good value too. The rock and roll (eel roll) was very good even though that was the lowest cost item we ordered.

An extensive selection of rare-find and exotic Japanese fish are listed on the menu — impressive considering this restaurant is located in a Brisbane strip mall. The sushi technique, however, is slightly off with the rice a bit too wet. A bustling crowd, with traditional sunken seating for an experience unique.

This place never disappoints. It's a little odd, but I've had a disproportional number of going-away and send-off lunches here, including today's. Must be something about this place that draws good vibes even during goodbyes, but let's be real... it's likely the food and the atmosphere. They are busy, so service can suffer slightly, but that just speaks even more to their good food. Five stars overall.

They're severely understaffed here and the wait for a table really wasn't worth the food. This is one of the main places in brisbane for sushi. It's located in a small strip mall with a decent parking lot. They only had one server for handling everything from serving, seating, take out, etc. I tried my best being patient, but noticed they were seating parties that were ahead of my group even after confirming with me that our table would be ready soon. This probably set the tone of dinner and the food also took a very long time once we ordered. The chicken plate was pretty disappointing with the amount of chicken. The rolls were decent quality. After our recent experience, we probably will not be coming back again.

Perfect sushi and great service. Tuna melts in your mouth, beef tongue skewer is smokey and chewy, but hits the right notes. Overall - highly recommend!

The food was all around great, the staff was knowledgeable and helpful, and the presentation of the food was fantastic. I've been here a few times over the past couple of years and the food has remained consistent and the restaurant has remained spotless every time I've been there. If I can suggest one thing try the fish tacos they are amazing!!!
