ICHI TOGARASHI — Restaurant in Naples

It is not a Japanese restaurant, per se. We were hoping -san ICHI TOGARASHI was actually in the kitchen, but it appears to be run by East Asian people (nice service). Extensive menu offered Chinese, Thai, Korean and Japanese dishes. The size of the menu was a bit much for any restaurant and especially for just 1 to 2 cooks in the kitchen. That’s probably why our two very different dishes were essentially identical, with identical ingredients only my ramen had broth in it and my husband’s dish was without broth. Food itself was a C. Marinated pork was very good. But both our dishes had too much dark soy sauce, overpowering any other flavors the dishes could have/should have had. Instead of bok choy, they used kale (weird), which does not exactly work in Asian dishes, too course. The weirdest thing was that they keep their dishes in a fridge and serve hot food in them, so that the food arrives not so hot and you touch frozen dishes. For a Japanese-named restaurant, they did not carry the most popular Japanese beer like Asahi and Sapporo. It is a brand new place and furnishings tables/chairs are visibly used.  Overall, we looked forward to coming here and were a bit disappointed. If they find their focus, reduce menu by 75%, maybe we’ll give it...

Truly a gem-of-a restaurant!

I went for the first time with family some days ago and got the spicy kimchi bacon dip, the dimsum welcome set, pork creamy tomato pot, and the chicken shoyu ramen (all of which I highly recommend getting).

The food was, prominently, strong and flavorful. I don’t think it’s an underestimate when I say that it was some of the best I’ve had (and relished) in a while. Portions were perfect and even allowed for sharing between people! The options alone make it accessible to all, considering how extensive it is.

In terms of the environment, it was nothing short of cozy and welcoming. The restaurant is beautifully furnished and allows for a relaxing immersion as you eat. I felt comfortable amidst other diners and loved the music they had playing!

In addition, the staff was just lovely. Our server was extremely kind and considerate when taking our orders. We stayed at the table for a while, yet never felt rushed. Everyone there was thoroughly kind. It really enhanced the experience :)

Overall, I would highly recommend this place if you want to dine at an overall...
