Izakaya Ittoku

We had an excellent dinner at this Izakaya which was reminiscent of the ones in Japan. All the small dishes were great. The standouts were the mackerel and the yakitoris, the chicken karaage was juicy on the inside, the kalbi was perfectly seasoned and tender, the cabbage felt a bit underseasoned.

Very cool spot. Quoted 20-30 min, got seated at about 36 after, no biggy. Wife, 12, and myself ordered 2 avacado/tuna rolls The freshwater eel roll Chicken thigh yakaroti x3 Pork belly yakatori Japanese fried chicken Gyu yakimeshi And a rice triangle with salmon All of it was fantastic. We will definitely be back! Worth the trip out.

What a great restaurant. Our friends in Boston took my wife and I to Izakaya Ittoku for dinner. It REALLY reminded me of some restaurants went went to in Tokyo. We really enjoyed the casual atmosphere, the good food and wonderful service. We can't wait to take our kids there next time we are in Boston. I loved the chicken thigh and gizzard skewers. oh get the fried yams (sweet potatos), fried chicken and squid; these were great to have with a beer) They were delicious. We at sooo much food that night but it was well worth the food gluttony :) Will I go back again ? Absolutely ! Oh and parking is available in the back of the building too.

We met up with some friends here before a show and only had to wait a few minutes to be seated. They were really accommodating when a few more friends showed up, and moved us to another table. We felt so bad about that but are very thankful. Everyone here is very kind. The staff was kind and patient and the food was delicious. The portions are on the smaller side but the flavor makes up for it. Our favorite was the white rice and fried chicken. We got quite a few orders of each. My boyfriend got the Steak Don and it's his favorite. The Ittoku Steak is really good too.

It's a stylish Japanese restaurant. Seating was available for a group of four at 6pm on Wednesday with no reservation. Servers were friendly. Foods were fresh and tasty but portion per price was a bit bummer. Recommend parking at a meter parking along the Mass ave and walking over.
