I recently had the pleasure of dining at Ichioku, and the highlight of the evening was without a doubt the incredible performance and culinary mastery of Chef Wunna. From the moment he stepped behind the teppan grill, it was clear we were in for more than just a meal — we were about to witness a show.

Chef Wunna’s precision, flair, and sense of humor brought the entire table to life. His knife skills were mesmerizing, and his timing impeccable — whether it was juggling eggs, creating flaming onion volcanoes, or flipping bites of food perfectly into waiting mouths, he did it all with effortless charm.

But beyond the theatrics, what truly stood out was the quality of the food. Every dish he prepared — from tender Wagyu beef and perfectly grilled scallops to the savory fried rice — was cooked to absolute perfection. You could tell he genuinely cared about both the experience and the flavor.

Chef Wunna managed to strike that rare balance between entertainment and culinary excellence. It wasn’t just dinner — it was an experience I’d gladly return for again and again.

If you’re planning a visit to Ichioku, be sure to ask for Chef Wunna. He’ll leave you with a full stomach, a smile on your face, and a new appreciation for the art...

Atrocious value for money. Unremarkable food and a underwhelming vibe overall. We ordered the standard “sets” of seafood & chicken/beef. I’ve eaten at plenty of teppanyaki places and had some expectations in relation to the type and size of meal we’d get, but I was bitterly disappointed when I saw the tray come out with the ingredients and there was the equivalent of 6-7 sugar cube sized pieces of meat! There wouldn’t have been 80g of meat in total ( I’m being generous ). Chef made a point of letting us know prior to ordering, that the servings were small ( how small could they possibly be we thought? ). With the benefit of hindsight, it’s obviously a consistent issue this restaurant encounters seeing they basically forewarn you when you order. The food was unremarkable, ok enough, but certainly nothing to write home about. Soft drinks we received were almost flat. Bitterly disappointing experience overall - offensive actually. Owners need to have a good hard think about their value proposition. Will definitely be telling everyone I can to give this place an...
