The food at this restaurant is excellent, with generous portions and a focus on both taste and presentation. However, the Gyoza dish was disappointing as it seemed to be microwaved while still frozen, resulting in a dry and tough texture. The atmosphere is lacking and the room can be quite echoey, but the service is attentive. It is unfortunate that they do not adhere to their published opening hours, as they turned us away early on a Friday night when they should have been open until 11:00pm. This is the second Japanese restaurant in Newtown we have encountered that has done this, with the other eventually closing down despite offering great food and a better atmosphere.
Great tasty food at a very reasonable price. Located almost at the junction of Enmore, Stanmore and Edgeware Roads. (The restaurant itself is on Enmore Road.)Very helpful staff. We were there for dinner. Although the sign said they were open till 9.00pm on a weekday, late patrons that came after 8.00pm were turned away because there was no more food! So question is, are they that popular?But really, the food was tasty. Three of us each had the bento box and one other had the ramen noodle. Price wise it was very reasonableness and serving size was more than sufficient for all of us. Yes, we'll be back there again.
My daughter ordered edamame, a main meal, miso soup, and a drink, while I ordered miso soup and a Bibimbap dish. Despite receiving her edamame and drink, my daughter did not receive the rest of her order. The miso soup I received was very small, and the Bibimbap was dry and crunchy without any moisture or egg. When I inquired about my daughter's meal, the chef personally apologized and offered it for free. However, my daughter was already too hungry and we decided to leave.
Overall, the menu was limited and prices were high. It ended up being an expensive evening and I had to cook and clean at home afterwards.
Genuine Japanese service and beautifully prepared food. The one chef, named Bong, does all the preparation and presentation himself. He is passionate and very proud of the food he serves. Some of the best quality sushi I have ever tasted. And that includes Japan. The restaurant is almost the last one on the Newtown strip with a handy Council carpark directly behind. We are now regulars, away from the frenetic pace of some of the other restaurants in Newtown.

I come here regularly and have never been disappointed with the service or quality of food. If more people knew about how good (and reasonably priced) the food was, there would be lines outside of the door!
Simple, quality, tasty food Really yummy food with plenty of choices to suit Excellent service & really good find for a quick easy meal
We had an amazing evening at Ichioku tonight. Despite its modest appearance, don't hesitate to take a seat and enjoy the experience.
