    A great restaurant hidden in San Bruno! Excellent food but reservations go fast and it fills up quickly so be sure to snag a reservation ASAP! Sushi may take sometime to arrive at the table so just be prepared with appetizers.

    All the fish for the sushi/sashimi was amazingly fresh. Loved the miso cod, too. Service was attentive and very friendly. Wonderful Mother's Day dinner!

    Really great service and a super awesome place to go visit. If you are in the San Bruno area in the mood for great food, please visit Ichika. The fish is fresh, tempura hot, and the miso soup is delicious. They don’t miss and everything is made with care.

    It was really good! Fresh and yummy! We even had the duck, sea bass, pork belly skewer, fish collar, and tempura corn besides our sushi! So yum! The chicken skin wasn’t as good-it just tasted oily. But everything else was sooo yum!

    Sashimi not fresh and tiny piece. Not worth for the price. Waitresses are friendly.

    Second time here and it was just as good as the first. It's about an hour drive here from where I live, but it's well worth the trip. I made sure to make a reservation this time as it does get busy. Service is always fast and friendly. The food is excellent! I literally just want to order everything on the menu. Can't wait to come back!

    We keep coming back as we love this place. It is a casual place with good food, cozy and good service. Our favorites are the steamed egg dish and the pork belly skewers.

    The food is always good. A friend who has had ramen in Japan really likes theirs. I like their Unagi Donburi.

    Forgot it was a birthday celebration. A little to consistently noisy had to wait for a water refill for over 5 minutes
