Yes great authentic japanese restaurant!!!���
Tuna taco at @ichojapaneseresto
I really love Japanese food and this probably is my favorite of all. To have the perfect mixture of crunchiness and raw tuna with mayo.
I forgot what the occasion was, but we learned about Icho from my grandmother who had dined there with her amigas a few months back. I feel as I've been living under a rock as Icho has been around for nearly two years. Anyway, she couldn't stop raving about how good it was, so we decided to give it a try. It's been my go-to Japanese restaurant for when I need my fix!
Would give this place an overall rating of 5/5. Quality of food, specifically the seafood, is consistently fresh. Like, quality is always A++++++. Service is really good, waiting time is never too long, really. Ambiance is also quite nice. Highly recommended!!
Authentic Jap food at the heart of metro. Quite pricey, but all dishes we got were worth the price. We ate here on a Sunday for lunch, and the place was jam-packed. Hence, we opted to sit at the bar to avoid the wait.
Service was still fast throughout our stay. Food was superb, too. Particularly commend their sashimis—they were fresh and I would say, of top quality. Melts in the mouth!!!💕

Almost everything about this restaurant, I liked.
The relatively ample parking and inside, the well-ventilated and spacious dining area, the attentive and well-trained service staff and of course, the no-nonsense menu.
Speaking food, I fell in love with the Foie Gras Aburi, that lightly broiled good liver with balsamic teriyaki sauce with susi rice. Another masterpiece I admired was the Hiroshima Kaki Motoyaki, baked oysters with creamy mayonnaise based sauce.
The Icho Roll was this colorful and beautifully presented bestseller. Well-balanced reds and greens playfully dotted this maki sushi number. Tastewise? Equally a winner.
On the downside, I didn’t much enjoy the Robata Platter. It’s a collection of grilled meat in skewers that, in my opinion, was on the dry side. Or maybe because our photo session took longer than it should. On the plus side, it was really interesting were the ginko bilboa seeds, also skewered and grilled.
On the beverage department, I liked the Matcha Milk Smoothie, which you can mistake for avocado ice cream, the expected herby aftertaste was almost near zero. And my order of Watermelon Shake was also a stand out. Now that’s what I call genuinely refreshing.
We finished the meal with vanilla ice cream sandwiched by chocolate and vanilla sponge cake with mochi. It was a simple dessert that successfully fulfilled what a good dessert’s expected to do.
End the meal. Satisfyingly.

A friday well spent at ICHO! I was overwhelmed with the dishes they served us. The Kani Salad ( ₱ 235) was very refreshing! The sweetness of the mango and sourness of the tomatoes along with the lettuce is a perfect combo. I think I had more than I should haha! The Aburi Foie Gras ( ₱ 250) was so nice, it has that smokey flavor. It was luscious, kind of melt in your mouth. The Robata Platter is advisable for sharing. My favorite is the wagyu, it was so soft!

Icho is found in the tail end of Annapolis close to EDSA. They have parking at the back of the restaurant as well as a parking lot closer to EDSA.
The menu is diverse with some dishes you don't see in other Jap restaurant. The dish prices range from reasonable to the more expensive side. So better to study the menu and pick whatever suits your budget.
Tempura Moriawase (Mixed tempura) - Php450 - Light crispy tempura batter. Ours had 3 pieces of shrimps then 1 piece each of asuhos (fish), sliced onion, carrot and sweet potato.
Kamo Nanban Udon - sliced duck breast in a light soy broth with udon noodles. Nicely balanced flavors. Recommended!
Salmon Teppanyaki - 3 pieces of salmon fillet cooked with garlic, soy sauce and butter. Maybe they could undercook it a little.
Alligator Roll - Php250 - Shrimp tempura, eel, crabstick, avocado and fish roe. Skip the usual California Roll and go for this one. This is a must-try!
Ichō Roll - Php260 - my favorite maki roll! Shrimp tempura, crabsticks and lost of ebiko caviar! You have to order this!
Spicy Tofu Forai - Php220 - deep fried tofu with a spicy miso paste. Served over salad greens. Great for tofu lovers!
Sashimi Goshu Mori - 5 kinds of fresh sashimi selection 🐟🐠🐡
Hiroshima Kaki Motoyaki - baked oysters with creamy Motoyaki sauce 🧀 Must Try!
Salmon Saikyo Miso - salmon with sweet miso paste 🍣 the salmon just melts in your mouth!
Foie Gras Aburi Sushi - lightly broiled goose liver with a balsamic teriyaki sauce ,🦆 rich yet delicate. The foie gras just tastes like heaven!
Spicy Tuna Salad - spicy fresh tuna tartar served with mixed greens 🐟🌶️
