Ichiro Sushi

Initially wanted to eat a different shop, but after being unable to locate that shop decided to give this restaurant a try. Definitely worth it : <br/ <br/ Food:<br/ Ordered the Salmon Sashimi Set Dragon Roll Soft Shell Crab Roll 2 Hot Water Green Tea Ice Cream. Salmon Sashimi Set came in 5 thick salmon pieces. It wasn't just thick, but it was so delicious that the salmon taste stayed in my mouth even after I ate it! It also came in a red miso soup (very rich and tasty . The cawanmushi was very tasty and authentic, and better than many places. It also came with a bamboo vegetable thing as well as a Japanese sushi rice. Dragon Roll was truly the highlight of the night. It was basically 6 Unagi meat with the Unagi sauce plated on 6 sushi rice that had cheese and cucumber rolled into it. It was incredibly tasty and very wholesome!!! So glad I ordered this dish! Soft Shell Crab Roll was also nice, but somehow couldn't outshine the Dragon Roll But you can taste the delicious soft shell crab rolled in it. The hot water taste like hot water, but the green tea ice cream was quite different. Instead of being your average ice cream, this was more icy like ice shards, but somehow was very green tea ish. Best of all, came in 2 scoops so it can be shared!<br/ <br/ Price:<br/ Salmon Sashimi Set (RM34.80 <br/ Dragon Roll (RM19.80 <br/ Soft Shell Crab Roll (RM19.80 <br/ 2 x Hot water (RM0.50 each <br/ Green Tea Ice Cream (RM6.80 <br/ RM87.15 for all 3 plates water and ice cream is actually quite affordable for both the taste and portion. They really are generous with what they provide!<br/ <br/ Service:<br/ The waiter was very nice to us. He was very patient and kind and humble to us. When we found out he was actually the chef and boss of Ichiro, we were astounded because he instead became the waiter for the shop. We ordered food via the digital tablet and it was very organised and easy. There was a regular customer there who was chatting with the boss a lot, and I could see that the boss is a very friendly person. The hot water was actually not refillable, but the boss personally took our cups and refilled them one time. It was very nice of him.<br/ <br/ Ambience:<br/ Came here for dinner on a Thursday at 8.20pm, was actually quite full so we had to wait about 20 minutes. But thankfully they had a very long bench we could sit outside and wait. Only one family in queue ahead of us. It has a very nice interior ambience. Even though the seating was not very spacious, the boss made sure everyone had their private space and not squeeze everyone together at the sushi bar.<br/ <br/ Overall Experience:<br/ Came here after not finding a shop we wanted to try. But am glad that I stumbled upon this mini gem in 1U. I would recommend coming back here and eating that Salmon Sashimi Set and Dragon Roll again! Many customers were eating them Chawanmushi, so do give that a go! :

Craving for japanese food after a long day, I went to Zomato for a consultation. Got this sushi bar with a good review and a good walking distance, so I gave it a go. Ordering my usual fav, salmon don, it was good cut of salmon, generous amount of salmon roe, on top of white sushi rice. Got a set with cawan mushi (nice one) and miso soup (a little bit salty but still good).<br/ <br/ more on my blog: tempemendoan.blog/2019/02/06/ichiro-sushi-bar/

Came here whilst on a holiday. Ambience : 4/5. Located inside Isetan One Utama with least human traffic, this place is easy to miss. Once discovered this small place is nicely lit with warm inviting lights. Food : 5/5. Sashimi is very fresh especially the salmon belly. Unagi and soft shell crab were cooked to perfection. Portions were generous. Service: 3/5. The only thing that’s lacking is the customer service. Servers were not very attentive when it comes to refilling water for green tea but very quick to clear the table, it was as soon as you take the last bite. Requested to refill cold water but was declined. What a shame.Overall the food was great. However, will recommend this place to anyone who do not mind a 2 star hospitality.

Authentic Japanese cuisine with fresh ingredient. Order by using iPad, easy to use and staff are attentive as well. Hiding inside of isetan, One utama. Great place if you’re looking for something different that the usual Japanese restaurant. Unagi taste amazing thou

Another great Japanese place with fresh and authentic food. I remembered the long queue when I went there the first time with my BBFs. We wanted to order grilled salmon head but they were out of order so we had yellow tail instead. Both dragon roll and volcano roll were nice. The staff were also very attentive, friendly and polite. There is really nothing you can complain.
