Ichigo Ichie

upon entering Ichigo Ichie, you are greeted by an atmospheric entrance room complete with a starry sky above and a roaring waterfall emptying into a small pond to your left. then continuing on into the main dining rooms, you are almost let down to see traditional seating. however, the booths are beautifully upholstered and are U-shaped with generous seating. Ichigo Ichie's menu Is standard for Hibachi-style restaurants. we selected the grilled squid appetizer along with the mushroom soup. for entrees, we selected a salmon roll and the filet mignon hibachi to share. when the squid arrived, we had to smile because it was a whole squid sliced to keep the original shape of the squid. it was nicely grilled, however the flavor was odd and the accompanying sweet sauce was not very good. the mush

I got two sushi rolls and a side miso soup. I’ve had miso soup plenty of times and I love it. However, my first spoon from the miso soup at this place left a very weird and nasty taste. I opted to leave it alone. After a little bit, my soup looked like this. I’ve never seen a miso soup do this before, because I’ve gone to Asian cuisine restaurants with others who don’t like it and just leave it. So when I saw it look like this, I’ve only seen it once before in a dunks coffee that was left on a bureau for a few days… Service was regular, sushi rolls were solid, atmosphere is nothing special.

The teriyaki salmon is a favorite of my mother's along with the mushroom soup. You'll want to make reservations and heads aren't an issue, I've seen them accommodate a party of 14 in the dining room and a 17 at a hibachi table.

The food and service was top notch with Molly our server at Ichigo Ichie! I enjoyed the beef bento box 🍱 while my friends all had large portions of chicken fried rice. We all enjoyed the lunch time atmosphere and great time together catching up as friends and enjoying great Japanese food!
