My young son and I absolutely LOVE Ichiro Sushi & Ramen. We have been loyal customers since we first moved to Minnesota in 2023, which also happens to coincide with the restaurant's grand opening. The owner and the staff go above and beyond to provide excellent food and customer service. Joanna is our absolute favorite waitress, and we look forward to seeing her every time we visit.
Because my son has champagne taste on my beer budget, we only get to visit Ichiro once every couple weeks. Every time we visit, my son easily eats $80 of sashimi just by himself - the rarer, more market special the item is - the more he wants it. His favorites include sweet shrimp, fatty tuna, eel, tobiko, surf clam, squid, octopus, and urchin (when available). I am a huge fan of the ramen and have loved each one but recently tried the spicy curry chicken ramen and fell absolutely in love. It has the perfect blend of Japanese curry to meat, veggie, and noodle ratio. And we HAVE to start with the gyoza. Ichiro does such a good job with their gyoza.
Although the location itself is not super big, there is a robot waiter that occasionally makes an appearance, bringing food to customers' tables, and it even sings "Happy Birthday" to those celebrating! It's such a nice and unique touch to this little establishment.
