Izakaya Ichie — Restaurant in Buena Park

Some dish were ok, but the fish and meats really smelled...... Either not kept properly or really old or low quality. Scallops and uni ok, and dessert was the best dish. Pork belly that came with the ultimate yakitori was undercooked and some parts raw. Space out the pork and chicken to cook evenly not bunched together, chicken had a sour tasted not from yuzu kusho. Beef really smelled from the galbi noodles to the yakitor, fish was the worst smelled and Toro does change color easily even if still good however this is to the point of rot, the lighting helps mask it, however I helped many of my friends sushi restaurants before never serve things that looks bad, they put a piece of ikami on top to hide the brown dead Toro. Service not really there, just lacking, never once got checked on no napkin refill 1 piece of napkin for each person the whole duration we asked for more they gave us 1 each glass was chipped lucky I'm trained to spot danger, would've been drink my own blood,I didn't finish my beer, and most of food maybe 75% but dessert and scallop uni cleaned . 5 items 2 people and a bottle of Kirin 190 plus tip not bad for the area. I don't mind spending on quality and service, but never again here. I mean maybe a bad night, but will not try, You can try maybe they will improve or you hit a night when their game...

Weekday foodie adventure. Great time to go if you're looking for a casual, intimate place to eat. Overall, the food is tasty! Perfectly sauced, oozing yolks, creamy balance are our key takeaways.

We ordered the following: Tokyo Hamburg Steak - OMG, the sauce on the steak! The noodles have that bit of crunch from the hot plate, which we loved! The yolk was that gravy-type of runny and oozed all its goodness over the noodles, which was a perfect match to the whole dish.

The Mentaiko Cream - Wow! The creamy sauce with the shrimp. The roe and shrimp were balanced to make the sauce even more delicious. I did wish there was more shrimp to go around!

Yakitori Platter Ultimate - All of the Yakitori skewers were each of its own mini dishes! Each one PERFECTLY SAUCED that I didn't use much of the sauce on the sides, but it does compliment and enhance the proteins! It was a great way to taste all the different skewers at a time. Savory

Mango Lychee Lemonade - Wow, very lychee forward moreso than mango, but my taste buds were salivating for more.

Brown Sugar Milk Tea - It was good, but I wanted more brown sugar.

Overall a great find in our...

I phoned to ask if they do something special for birthdays & they said they only have matcha ice cream or something. i said we're celebrating 3 birthdays together, they said sure. Our party of 10 arrived the on Sat eve, I asked the staff again about celebrating 3 birthdays, they said ya, they have desserts. It was difficult to get service after we sat down. They were understaffed. There were only about 3 servers & we hardly get attention to refill water, sticks, order items, getting the bill, and to pay. The sashimi bowl didn't taste as good, with too much rice than protein, so it's not worth the price. It felt like the 18% tips already added so they didn't give much service. I felt they didn't deserve the tip amount added to my over $400 bill, especially when I asked for 3 dressers for our 3 birthdays, the server then said they could only give 1 per party... So I was very dissappointed & a bit shocked to know the difference at the end🤯😮‍💨💔 I paid & noted that this place is not strongly...
