Ikko, Torrance

This is Izakaya and sushi restaurant.

They have a special dinner set every 2 weeks. Call a day ahead to make a reservation.

It's always best to try their daily specials.

One of their most popular dishes. Eggplant Tempura & Spicy Tuna w/wasabi Smelt egg($8.45) It was bit salty but very good. All their wasabi is freshly grated.

Deep fried Tuna w/wasabi Tartar sauce($7.95) The flavor was very good but I wish the fried Tuna is more crispy.

Now, talking about crispy($2.50) This is small fish bone crackers. Very crunchy and full of calcium! Yummy~

Stir fried Black Pork Sausage & Japanese green peppers($6.75) It was smoky and juicy.

Broiled Chicken stuffed with brown rice w/ginger sauce($7.95) It's similar to Korean-style rice stuffed chicken. The dried or fried turnip could be crispier. The ginger sauce worked well with chicken.

Broiled Tuna Cheek ($10) was like very tender beef. It was amazingly tasty.

Toro & Scallion roll($10) It had a good amount of fresh wasabi in it. This was a better way to make a spicy tuna than with the chili oil. It complimented the fish much better.

Uni was the best I've had anywhere. Very fresh and creamy.

Chirashi Sushi dinner set

Beautifully arranged sashimi with tamago over sushi rice. Uni was just delightful.

They are known for their fresh soba noodles. I highly recommend their sushi also.

Thai style eggplant stir fry with Basil.

I used Japanese eggplant, Cayenne pepper and basil from my garden. I also added some lemongrass for extra flavor.
