" Delicious food with a nice mix of contemporary touches! I appreciated the creativity behind some of the dishes at Itoko. The house sake was fantastic, and my sushi was satisfying, though I thought the roll could have had a bit more filling. I'd highly recommend stopping by for a meal. " (*Curated Review*)

" What a beautiful restaurant! My friends and I went for brunch, and the food was delicious. Each dish was well-crafted, and the hand rolls were a must-try. Service was attentive, but a bit disorganized at times. Overall, we had a great time and can't wait to return! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had high expectations for Itoko, especially after hearing rave reviews, but I found myself slightly disappointed. While the ambiance was lovely, the food lacked the authenticity I was craving. The sake selection was nice, but my chicken katsu lacked the depth of flavor I expect. The service, however, was amicable and attentive. " (*Curated Review*)

" Wonderful experience overall, very modern and chic setting. I had the spicy tuna tartare and it was refreshing. Although I thought the portions could be improved a bit, especially for the price. Overall, I’d consider revisiting Itoko for sure. " (*Curated Review*)

" Delicious sushi but the portions could be larger for the price. I appreciated the friendly service, and the atmosphere was conducive to a good meal. The ramen was flavorful, but I didn't find it very photogenic. A solid choice for casual dining. " (*Curated Review*)

" Absolutely loved the experience at Itoko! From the moment we walked in, the staff made us feel welcome. We were greeted by our server who was very knowledgeable and offered wonderful suggestions. The ramen we ordered was thoughtfully crafted, bursting with flavor, and the portions were plentiful! Can't wait to return for another round of deliciousness. " (*Curated Review*)

" The experience was delightful overall! We enjoyed the fusion aspect of the menu; it added a unique twist to classic dishes. The honey butter toast was a pleasant surprise, perfectly executed. Service was friendly, though a bit slow at times when the restaurant was packed. Still, it was a lovely atmosphere, and I'm excited to try more dishes next time! " (*Curated Review*)
