Ikura Restaurant — Restaurant in Prague

We visited here this week and ordered the "Sashimi Sushi Set" and "Kari." The sauce for the Kari was flavorful but much too liquid, making it quite difficult to eat. It should be thicker to enhance the dining experience.

The Sashimi Sushi Set included 4 pieces of salmon sashimi, 4 pieces of tuna sashimi, 4 pieces of octopus sashimi, and 4 pieces of sea shell sashimi. Additionally, it came with 6 pieces of salmon nigiri and 8 pieces of salmon maki. The salmon sashimi was fresh and tasty, but I wouldn’t say it was the best salmon sashimi I've had in Prague. Similarly, the tuna sashimi was fresh but lacked the juiciness I was expecting. The octopus sashimi was chewy and flavorful, adding a nice variety to the set. The sea shell sashimi was a unique addition, and while it was fresh, it didn't stand out flavor-wise. The salmon nigiri were the highlight of the set, in my opinion. The salmon maki were average and didn’t stand out. The salad that accompanied the meal was crisp and refreshing, providing a nice balance to the rich flavors of the sushi.

The service was adequate; the staff were attentive but don’t expect the level of attention you would get at a fine dining restaurant. They were friendly and made sure we had everything we needed throughout our meal.

The ambiance might seem old and unremarkable to some, but I liked it. It’s a small place but has a good atmosphere. The outdoor seating area isn’t very large, with only 2 or 3 tables, if I recall correctly. The wooden chairs, however, were very uncomfortable. This is one area where the restaurant could improve, as a comfortable seating arrangement is crucial for an enjoyable dining experience.

Lastly, I want to address the prices. Sushi is never cheap in Europe continent, and I accept that, but I found the sushi pricing here a bit higher than other comparable restaurants. Similarly, the bowls seemed about 40-50 CZK more expensive than those at similar Asian and Vietnamese restaurants. Given the restaurant's overall setting and the quality of the food, I expected more reasonable pricing.

Would I go again? Maybe, if it’s on my way, just to try other nigiri varieties. It wasn’t a terrible experience, but unfortunately, it fell short of expectations. If you're in the area, it might be worth a visit, especially for the salmon nigiri, but there are other places in Prague that offer better value for similar quality.

In conclusion, they offers a decent variety of sushi and sashimi with some hits and misses. The polite staff and the cozy atmosphere are positives, but the inconsistency in food quality and high prices are areas that need improvement. It's a decent option if you're nearby, but not necessarily a...

I wouldn't even give this restaurant one star. I ordered Pad Thai with prawns because I loved eating Pad Thai in Thailand. The menu described it as a noodle dish with egg and fresh vegetables. What I actually got was a mountain of noodles without any fresh vegetables, just a few soy bean sprouts hidden inside. Pad Thai should have green onions and peanuts on top. I looked in vain for green onions and there were just crumbled peanuts next to the mush. When I asked for the fresh vegetables, I was asked several times to wait 5 minutes, whereupon I explained that the food would then be cold. The waiter showed me the menu and said that the food looked like the small picture next to the dish, which was definitely not the case. I was kindly brought some raw shredded carrots, but I couldn't do much with them. I ate the prawns, picked out the little bit of egg and bean sprouts and choked down a few overcooked noodles. At least the beer was good. I would never go...

I went there with my friend not expecting anything spectacular. But we were pleasantly surprised . Their sushi was one of the best I have eaten in a while. Their tweaked spicy mayo sauce put every single ingredience in a harmony(I had rolls called "Rock n roll"). The atmosphere was nice and cosy . The waiter was cheerful and patient with us despite the huge workload he had during that time . Despite being fairly new, I believe this restaurant will soon be one of the best place to eat sushi in Prague. 6/5 Definitely would visit again.

P/s :I was here for sushi but they also serve popular dishes from Thai and Vietnamese cuisine, and they...
