Itadaki

Finally dined indoors after many times enjoying their patio. Their decor is lovely, and everything is spaced out enough to keep groups from needing to talk over each other. The food is phenomenal. Great sake selection & starters. Their ramen is top notch. I was just as impressed with their udon. Working my way towards their other dishes slowly.

Do not recommend. Agree with most of the comments. Food is so ordinary but wayyyyy overpriced. That one small piece of fried pork chop is $22, just the pork chop and nothing else. Udon’s chicken broth is decent but it was $24 Urchin pasta is $34. It would be way better if they make the portion size of this dish half, and reduce the price, other wise the overall experience is unsatisfying. Service is not horrible but also very meh. We asked the server why there’s a chunk of random white stuff on the plate (looks like paint) and they just looked at it and said “it was probably just corn starch” and left.

Ramen and Sushi was good but a bit pricey . I admit the taste was a lot closer to the real miso Ramen I ate in Japan compared to other places in Boston :) Great paintings

I was able to try a variety of dishes at this cute but deceivingly large restaurant: chicken kara-age, shucked oysters, sea urchin, salad, fried tofu, takoyaki, sushi pizza, etc. Each dish continually impressed me! Even the most simplest dish, edamame, was clearly of a premium quality. One of my favorite dishes was the baked rice casserole, Itadaki Signature Doria, as it was a new experience for me. I was pleasantly surprised at the size of fish on the nigiris, and was pleased with the amount of rice in the rolls. The service was perfect. I would definitely come back and I am looking forward to bringing my young foodies (ages 8 and 10) to try this place out!

Delicious food, service was slow and little pricey but good atmosphere and very friendly staff. I got the volcano and it was great. They only admit reservations for the inside so we had to sit outside , they had little fireplaces but It was still pretty cold, so be aware and bring some jackets.

I’m a bit of a harsh critic of ramen because I’ve tried so many, so this may be 5 stars for someone who either hasn’t had a lot of ramen or is just used to the 3-minute packet from the store. First, the sushi. The Itadaki spicy rolls were SO GOOD. I would come back just for these. I had them split with a friend as our starter. They were delicious dipped in soy sauce. I could eat two more orders of them easily as the whole meal. Second, the ramen. I was excited by all the options on their menu, but they’re not as generous with their portion as you may be led to believe. For example, if you order “marinated boiled egg” as one of the ingredients, you only get 1/2 an egg. To get the full egg, you need to order it twice. The broth was decent but I’ve definitely had better. My friend had the Shoyu base (soy sauce, not miso) and said it was very flavourful, so maybe try that instead. There was a lot of ramen noodles in the bowl though, so that was good! I just would have liked more toppings.

The food was very tasty and approved by my Japanese friend. But the price was very high. One drink and one soup 40 $. The dining room is small. About 5 small tables. The waiter was nice. If you want to eat cheap, it's not your place. It was nice but I would not go there again (just to expensive)

Lots of variety on the menu and available seating at 8 pm on Thursday. Service was fine but food quality is not there for the price point.
