Itacho Sushi - Carta

This is our favorite sushi restaurant!!!! The food, service, ambiance, and price are all great! It's the perfect spot for sushi.

it was a heat wave, but everything was warm. the beer, the sushi. the sashimi and rolling had a good taste despite the test, but uni was rough.

Although it was during a heat wave, everything was warm at the restaurant. The beer and sushi were not cold. The sashimi and rolls still had a good flavor despite the temperature, but the Uni was unpleasant. Ver carta

Honestly I was trying to re- capture an experience of the restaurant I was at 10 years ago. I believe that they may have gone through a chance in ownership. It just was not the same. The Lotus root used to come with the full lotus root sliced. Now it'sshaved and shredded.

We were the first ones to enter the restaurant and it had a very different smell but they explained it as the chemicals they used to mop the floor's. The salmon was open and the shrimp crunch roll was very good but since it was our first time the waitress did not spend a whole a lot of time explaining the ordering system. Everything was good and very yes we got the all you can eat specials. I quality of sushi was fresh but not the caliber of a Nobu or matsuhisa or sasabune. I probably would not return to this sushi bar but for people that want to have sushi at this quality then it's good.

In all fairness re the food, we did not stay and eat, we left. We have been going to Itacho since it was in a strip mall on Highland and Santa Monica. It survived the first new owner but this (or these) more recent sales have done them in. Next to none of the famous Itacho dishes remain (the pork cooked for 2 day’s in sake and soy; the fried chicken; etc). Some of the favorite veg dishes remain (eggplant sweet miso, lotus root) but the photo covered “all you can eat sushi” menu pretty much says it all. I’m heartbroken. This was a favorite spot we used to take everyone before the advent of all of the izakaya spots. I’m not trying to do them in, just let those who are like me in on the news. #... Ver carta

I have been a loyal customer of Itacho since its days on Highland, when it was an izakaya only before they started serving sushi. The restaurant has changed ownership twice since then. The last owners brought in a sushi chef from Hirozen, but I am not sure what the newest owners have done. I may still come back for the izakaya dishes, but the two rolls we tried were disappointing. It is sad to see this change as Itacho has always been a favorite of mine, as well as my mom's and everyone I introduced to it. Now there is a sandwich board outside with pictures of sushi promoting a sushi happy hour, and the old menus have been replaced with new ones featuring photos. It feels cheesy and sad to s...

Simply terrible. I didn't get the memo about this spot being under new management. Previously it has been a reliably clean, stark space for extremely fresh Japanese fare. I should have followed my gut as I exited at valet to a sandwich board sign advertising All You Can Eat Sushi under a neon scroll alighting the restaurant's facade like a cheap Vegas hole in the wall. The restaurant was dirty, the menus soiled...we opted to not go with AYCE, as I find the concept kind of antithetical to the whole idea of sushi. We couldn't even eat what we ordered. Horrible fish quality, the sushi was inedible. Even spicy tuna on crispy rice which is hard to get wrong was drenched in a vile sauce and served...

I very rarely write a negative review if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. But the service at Itacho was so bad I can't remain silent. We were shown to our reserved table on time. The restaurant was reasonably busy, but not packed. But it appears that no one was assigned to our table. We kept trying to waive someone down, yet it took 45 minutes before we even got water. The all you can eat menu is pretty good. Lots is options. The problem was that we only got about half of what we indicated on the form when we ordered. We explained to about three different waiters, and eventually more food came more of what they'd already served us, and none of what we were waiting for... Ver carta
