I came for the all you can eat and enjoyed the food. I thought the sashimi was great (it is limited for the AYCE option) and relatively fresh which is tough to get here in Rochester. The rolls came in a great variety and I enjoyed all the maki rolls. The service was great as well. The interior looks like it used to be a bar and is very dim on the inside which I thought was odd but overall still would recommend if someone is craving AYCE sushi. read more

Been to Ichi Tokyo tons of times with family, but recently service has been horrible. Servers don't seem to wanna be there or just want to sit on their phones in the back. I went there a couple weeks ago and I got the AYCE which took over an hour for us to receive our food. I recommend going to Kumo instead as they have better variety and I usually get good service there. read more

Been here over a dozen times for both dine in and pickup. Food always tasted good, service is good.

Solid choice for sushi. The Fashion Roll is one of their best. The Love Roll was also very good. The Blue Hawaiian is a nice fruity compliment to the sushi. Service is rushed. read more

Their all you can eat menu lacks variety. Definitely recommend going to Kumo sushi and hibachi next to Hy-Vee crossroads instead

I came on a Thursday night and while it wasn't super busy, all the tables were dirty with food crumbs or hadn't been bussed. The shrimp tempura and vegetables were kind of mushy and lacked flavor. The tempura dipping sauce didn't taste like much either. I did like the service though. read more

Temporarily relocated to Rochester and have eaten here (to go) a couple times. Been good experience so far - Spring rolls are top notch. Good sushi. Hibachi was "just OK" I don't think i will order a steak hibachi again - shrimp was fine but would like a ginger sauce. The traditional salad with the ginger onion carrot dressing was on point...in fact they sell it by the pint and we ordered some last time. This will happen again. I'd recommend for anyone with an interest. read more

Always a really good meal here.Service was fast and courteous. Price was on point with food.

Excellent sashimi quality and portion. Tempera udon has tasty and authentic flavor. Would definitely come again!! read more

I had only been to the South location but tried the North finally. It is just a great as the South. I love that the rolls are not over riced. The rice to filling ratio is always in favor of the filling. AYCE is the way to go, every time. The teriyaki steak could have used a little more sear on it, but I got over that quickly as I shoved it in my mouth. read more

We have been going here often before/ during/ after Covid (once a week). The food during Covid was decent but after Covid the food quality has severely diminished! We order a Spicy crab salad "NO ROE". This is the second time they add roe anyway. But they mix it in! For someone who doesn't like it this is a major turn off and basically it is uneatable. (See picture) They are going back and forth from week to week charging for spicy Mayo, eel sauce, avocado, and others. When you do order the "extras" they fill them half way. (See picture) Warning! If you do order from here please check your order before your drive home to see if they forgot some of your order. A few times they "forgot" a roll and I had to drive back or get a refund. After paying about $50 each week an order should be correct and extras should be consistent! read more

Highly recommend Ichi Tokyo NORTH, not the South location. North- best food, best service. The server was so sweet and kind. Definitely will be back! The South location - service was horrible, unorganized and the food was cold and sitting for a while. read more

This restaurant was recommended by a co-worker saying it restaurant gets a lot of rave. They were right, this sushi restaurant was pretty good! I got the tuna and snow mountain roll and it was absolutely divine. The the crab on the roll was so good and nice and sweet, absolutely delicious. The tuna was alright, but still really good! The waitresses and servers were amazing. They have great service and the atmosphere is super hip and clean! If I'm ever in Rochester again I'd like to come back and try the all you can eat sushi so I can try a variety of items! read more

Ordered takeout on the website. Have been waiting for an hour and 15 minutes and they keep saying they are going to go check the back if its being made.

Stopped in today and had the steak and lobster hibachi. Clean restaurant and friendly staff. The rice and the veggies were great. The steak and lobster part was just ok. Had they been done better I'd have given another star. The hot oil massage after lunch makes me less grumpy about it. :) read more

We had a great lunch. I had the chicken teriyaki rice bowl and my daughter had two type of sushi. We split the crab Rangoon order and were pleased with everything. Our server was as great. read more

I came here for dinner with friends. We're all fans of sushi, so this was definitely the right choice. The service and atmosphere were great! The presentation of the food was good and was very tasty. The "All You Can Eat" sushi menu is amazing! Reasonably priced to get all of the sushi you want. How can you beat that? We will definitely be back for more. I would recommend it to anyone who is a fan of sushi. read more

Best sushi in Minnesota! Hands down! It's located in Rochester MN but they should consider opening in the twin cities too! Love this restaurant & the chefs read more

This was my first time at the 22nd Ave Ichi, which is closer to my work than the Broadway location. My previous experiences with the Broadway location have been exception, albeit a bit expensive. But who can turn down all you can eat sushi with exquisite slices of sashimi? The 22nd Ave location is really the little brother and the quality shows. Service was reasonable but nowhere near as efficient or thorough. The menu is the same so there weren't any surprises. I got the Dinner Bento, which is salmon teriyaki with chicken katsu, along with small portions of shumai and Philadelphia rolls. The salmon and chicken were excellent but the shumai was soggy, watery, and disappointing. Really it tasted like it was quickly defrosted and/or microwaved for serving. read more

Ichi Tokyo - Bento Dinner B - Sushi Bars Near Me - Rochester, Minnesota

Newly opened December 30, 2014 this is the second location of the widely popular Ichi Tokyo Japanese Restaurant on South Broadway which won Best Sushi 2014 by Rochester Magazine which has been going strong since 2012. Having followed this restaurant and its crew since its early days as Asian Kitchen in 2011 to now its fourth year and second location I'm happy to report that this latest northwest restaurant is no exception to the tried and true formula that has made Ichi Tokyo so popular: fresh and affordable sushi! Touting a widely popular yet common "All-you-can-eat" sushi menu that many a struggling metropolitan sushi bar may offer, Ichi Tokyo rather builds on this concept as a primary model to serve out a la carte artistic creations of rolls, sashimi, soups, appetizers, terriyaki, and hot dishes. Priced at about $25 per person with this option, this is no struggling fire sale of food, or a fly-by-night gimmick but rather a genuinely affordable option to explore the diverse offerings from a wide selection of Japanese cuisine. Replicating the south location in menu and pricing this new northwest location clones the quality, timeliness, and freshness expected from the best sushi place in town. Added to this location however is increased dining area seating and also a new hip bar that is expanded in size and has accents of LED illumination built within the countertop. When you have graduated from the all-you-can-eat menu or are taking out, be sure to try the King Salmon roll--my personal favorite. The Twin Spice and Mango Dragon roll are stellar too. In the months ahead I will add to this photo gallery the food served from this North location, however in the meantime check out the gallery from the South's images, much of which I have taken over the years as it serves to represent a replica of the food here. Many of the wait staff have transferred over from the South location and for now the head of the house is currently being run by veteran crew from the South location ensuring consistency between the two locations. The food is nearly identical to that which we have come to expect from Ichi Tokyo and it certainly did not disappoint. If anything this north location located just south of Flapdoodles in the Papa John's complex close to US-52 and 37th Street sports a less crowded parking area and seems more accessible, especially since a large portion of the more hipster sushi crowd of Rochester probably lives in the northwest quadrant. I always worry when we see two locations of a good thing pop up in Rochester because it usually splits the customer base between the two locations while doubling the costs (most recent example: the late Best Buy South anyone?), having been to Ichi Tokyo South on a Friday or Saturday night in the past few months however, and often encountering over an hour wait, this new Ichi Tokyo north location might actually be a wise and rational move as the demand for fresh sushi in Rochester, MN has not seemed to wane over the past two years, and if anything as word on the street continues to grow so do the new fans of Ichi Tokyo. I for one continue to uphold my endorsement of Ichi Tokyo as best sushi in Rochester, Minnesota and this new North location holds true to that statement. Here's wishing this North location as much success as its predecessor! read more

Found this on Yelp and came for the sushi bar. Went with my sister who had never had the full sushi expierence. The staff was very attentive and kind. We had the Naruto Roll, the New Crazy Roll, some octopus and king crab sashimi and polished it off with Mango And Strawberry Moshi Ice Cream. The Naruto roll was good, pretty standard roll. The New Crazy roll was very delicious and savory. The octopus was tender and flavorful. The King Crab was okay. The Moshi Ice Cream was extremely good. I had the mango which was packed with flavor. This was my first time having Moshi ice cream and was a great first experience. Will be coming back in a couple weeks next time I'm down in Rochester. read more

First time in Rochester... And I love sushi! This place was recommended... I had the lunch all you can eat sushi... Here is my experience... Like I said I went during lunch.. It was fairly busy... But the service was quick and attentive.. The staff was friendly as well.. Bathrooms were clean.. though I'm not the fondest if there slightly opaque doors.. (but I guess if you want a peak that's up to you.. lol) I had 4 different rolls and tried a California roll and a bite of the shrimp tempura.. I had ; futomaki (I think that's right), spicy yellowtail, eel avocado, tempura shrimp... the rolls were excellent... and we're made on exceptionally fast... I would definitely recommend this place.. as well as doing the all you can eat so you can try a variety of things.. read more

First time here haven't had sushi since leaving Los Angeles was very surprised sushi in Minnesota? Yep all you can eat as well plus appetizers . Rainbow roll spicy tuna roll yellowtail roll all excellent. Waiters was awesome everything she recommended was fantastic. Will be back again!!!!!! read more

I'm not the biggest sushi fan but I come here often with my friends. The menu is a little overwhelming because of how large it is. The sushi tends to be very well made and I really enjoy it. The price is very reasonable and you can get a lot for your money. If you are really hungry I'd suggest the all-you can eat but otherwise just one or two rolls is great for a small meal. Be careful though with the all you can eat because they charge you for every piece you don't eat. The service is usually friendly and fast. read more

I've been here a few times and while the service is good, the food fails to impress. Unfortunately, there aren't many sushi options here in Rochester, MN. Today, I ordered a bento box--which contains an entree, a roll of sushi, pork dumplings, and a salad--through UberEats and I specifically asked for "no sesame due to allergies." Not only did my sushi contain an ample amount of sesame seeds, it was also drenched in sauce that was supposed be on the entree. There was a random lettuce in my ginger and wasabi. I don't eat pork so I also asked for no pork dumplings and requested for them to provide a substitute "if available," but they did not bother to call to let me know that a substitute was not available--they simply ignored my request and included the pork dumplings in my order. In fact, that request was not even on my receipt when the food was delivered even though I clearly see it on my order in the UberEats app. My order seemed carelessly put together. Overall, I would say, order at your own risk! read more

Rochester's premiere sushi restaurant is an accessible and affordable place that fails to deliver anything special or unique, but is able to win you over with reliable and respectful service, very fair prices (especially with the all you can eat option), and consistent delivery of all your sushi favorites. The fish is rather low quality but the preparation masks it well. If you are looking for something special, look North to the Minneapolis St Paul area, but if you want affordable, filling, and classical sushi rolls Ichi Tokyo will fill that role. Try the Volcano, the Mexican, or the Rainbow Rolls -- all tasty choices! read more

This is our favorite place to get sushi! Detailed menu and pics, great staff, wonderful atmosphere. Recommend doing all you can eat if you like to try different rolls/sushi read more

Tasty sushi at a reasonable price -- much like the SE location. My family likes to indulge in the AYCE option -- $15.99 for lunch and $26 at dinner, if I'm remembering correctly. It's a great deal if you're hungry and / or have a taste for the higher-end menu items (ie: sashimi, specialty rolls, etc). While not the best sushi you'll ever have, it's certainly fresh and of good quality -- all in all, a decent place. read more

I'm rating this in general as average compared to other areas of the US - however, considering the location, I think the sushi is above average for Rochester, Minnesota. Between living in both Chicago and New York City currently, I have a lot of sushi. Usually at least once a week - it's hard to miss as you can find it literally every block in some areas in both of those cities. Visiting some family in Rochester, this is what I wanted and noticed they had all you can eat sushi. Perfect. They have a decent list of sashimi/nigiri as well as rolls. Positive points for actually offering hand rolls in all you can eat which isn't too common to be honest. They had some other things in there too which were decent like tempuras, soups, seaweed salad, etc. The thing that took me back was that they had a limit on the amount of sashimi/nigiri one could order which was 3 per person. What the fuck is that? Seriously. Never seen that anywhere in the world - even in the middle of IOWA in a city 1/3 the size as Rochester. Every place I've ever been in the world has unlimited nigiri. The weird thing is that they have unlimited hand rolls, which have just as much if not more sashimi in them as two pieces of nigiri do. A few salmon rolls also probably have just as much sashimi in them as two pieces of nigiri anyway. This rule honestly makes zero sense. I think it's probably fine for most people because most people think that a "Dragon Roll" is real sushi, even though it's not, and won't touch nigiri anyway. Still though, this is an absolutely terrible rule. Anyway - the sushi wasn't actually half bad. Not the best I've had by a long shot but also not the worst. Rochester is not home to any major airport and is 75 miles from the nearest decently sized one with real international traffic. For that, they do a decent job. The service was good too so nothing bad about that part. read more

I've been to this establishment 4 times now (twice to each of their 2 locations in Rochester). The food quality is pretty consistent and definitely enjoyable. Couple that with one of their 20% off coupons you can find all over the place, it makes for a pretty good deal. Their sushi is pretty good (8/10), I think there could be more fish though. I just came back from Japan as well so I'm a bit biased. Their noodle bowls are awesome deals. I'd say a 8/10 as well for consistency and quantity. If you are craving some sushi in Rochester, I'd check this place out. I gave it 4 stars mainly because it can be a bit pricey without coupon and it isn't the best sushi I've eaten - but the better one in Rochester. read more

If you are celiac or gluten sensitive don't bother wasting your money. I asked them if they had enough options for someone who cannot have gluten and they said yes.

I'm from out of town and came here for sushi. After ordering a drink, went to the bathroom only to find 2-3 employees cleaning up the floor just outside the men's room. I asked if I could use the bathroom and was told no because they were cleaning the floor after "something happened" (the employee I asked had a smirk on his face when he told me). I was disgusted for 2 reasons: 1) what cleanup could have been so bad that it closed the bathroom and required further cleaning outside the bathroom - hmmm - my first thought is an overflowing dirty toilet 2) and second - I still had to use the bathroom read more
