This was the sleeper hit of our trip!!! It was tough to convince my wife that our last dinner in PR would be Chinese/Japanese, but our hotel (El Caribe) had no good options and no one was willing to drive towards Old San Juan. Ikura was walking distance, just past 787 Coffee. The Yelp reviews were very positive and with good reason! The owners, possibly a husband wife, were very accommodating and worked together to ensure efficienct service. The menu had a mix of classic American-Chinese offerings (kung pao chicken, orange chicken), but also typical Japanese faire (sushi/sashimi, bento boxes, and udon noodles). My wife loved her hot and sour soup and kung pao chicken, while I love my bento box with fried rice, 4 piece California roll, salad, and pepper beef. We saw other guests who ate sushi and it looked really good. If you tire of lechon asado, mofongo, and all manner of fried appetizers, this is a great option! read more

So good! We ordered the churrasco roll and the half shrimp half tuna "pizza" both without cheese since we don't do regular cheese. It was delicious! We were helped quick and we were able to ask about certain questions we had. The gentleman was nice. read more

Must stop if in the area . Super welcoming and very attentive service . Sushi was amazing and came out quick . Would definitely come back and recommend to anyone coming to San Juan read more

The food was ok. I ate sushi here and it was a little chewy. Different than other sushi I've had. It was hand made on the spot. I could see him making it. The chef is quite possibly the owner and was super friendly and kind. Definitely invested in the place. I would go back one more time and try something different. Don't expect high end but do expect that your business is appreciated. read more

Absolutely Amazing Sushi Spot in San Juan! Came to San Juan on a girls trip and wanted to venture out of the hotel for some local flavors--and we're SO glad we did! This cozy, family-run sushi spot is just down the road from our hotel, and it truly exceeded our expectations. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, and the service was top-notch. Highly recommend trying the Honey Roll and the Volcanp Roll--both were bursting with flavor and beautifully prepared. Great sushi, great vibes, and even better people. 10/10, we'll definitely be back! read more

Delish food! This small restaurant is tiny but mighty. The 3 sushi rolls and chicken lo mein were very very good. Highly recommend!

This is an Asian cuisine specializing in south east Asia and Japanese food. Great service and decent food you can find near old San Juan.

Just had a lovely lunch of miso soup, steamed dumplings and spider roll. All were outstanding! The owners and servers were top notch and so nice. I will certainly return on my next visit. read more

Great food but even better owners. They were so kind to my Wild 2 year old daughter. They gave her colored pencils to draw. And an orange cut up. They were so kind! Amazing food too! read more

We ordered the big roll, hot tuna roll, seaweed salad, and later salmon with avocado. Really great experience. All are so tasty. The owners are very friendly and very helpful making recommendations for first comers. We have decided to go back for dinner tonight read more

This is the best sushi I've ever eaten- very fresh flavors and service was almost immediate- we ordered and it was ready in less than 5 minutes. The place is very clean and staff very friendly. Volcano roll is sweeter than expected but delicious and the Ikura special roll was my favorite- try the seafood spring rolls you won't regret it. read more

Small little sushi restaurant only open for takeout. I'd give this a 3.5-star review as the sushi was pretty good overall at a reasonable price relative to most. We tried three rolls and each were just a tad above average hence the rating! read more

snuck in to grab lunch out of the rain and had AMAZING sushi via chef David- try the honey roll! this is a perfect spot to rest your legs.

Truly amazing and reasonably priced Asian restaurant, a hidden gem near the caribe Hilton. Great food, great service, but only about 6 tables so not fancy for a romantic meal. Five minute walk from the Caribe Hilton and well worth it. read more

Gas food, takes time, small place. Nice family owned place. Spicy salmon roll and yummi yummi roll are great

This hole in the wall does NOT DISAPPOINT. This restaurant presents as family oriented and ran. The staff was very welcoming and very nice. The food was delicious!!! We ordered the sushi and bento box. The Boston roll was to die for. Definitely recommend if you're getting your Asian fix while in Puerto Rico. So delicious, prices were great and we will be returning!! read more

Ikura is a Chinese run restaurant that serves both Chinese and Japanese cuisine. We came here because it was right by our hotel, and we were craving Chinese after a few days of American meals during our cruise. Given that we were in Puerto Rico, we didn't have high expectations, but were pleasantly surprised. Taste like what we would get back home in NJ. It was a bit more expensive than places in the US, but in line with the other restaurants in the area. read more

I saw this place while passing by it on our way to our hotel, the Caribe Hilton. We were able to come here for lunch on our last day in town. It is a short walk from the Caribe Hilton and a nice change from the overpriced restaurants at the hotel and the expensive food at El Mercado de Paseo Caribe. The lunch menu ranges from 8.95 to $12 dollars for a meal. The bento box meals will leave you full and happy. I ordered the bento box with orange chicken and sushi (4 California rolls). Hubby ordered the bento box with beef teriyaki and sushi but upgraded the white rice to fried rice for $1 more. The miso soup that came out was noticeably saltier than the ones that we are used to. We still finished it nonetheless. The orange chicken was warm and crispy with a slightly sweet yet tangy orange sauce. Absolutely delicious and one of my favorite orange chickens I've had anywhere. The California rolls were pretty standard and I have no complaints about it. The entire bento box was great and I felt it was a good value considering the other (expensive) options nearby. I didn't get to taste the beef teriyaki but I'm sure it was good too. Service was good and food came out in a timely manner. I wasn't sure how good it was going to be considering we were on a predominately Spanish island but I was really pleasantly surprised. I would love to come back here for lunch everyday the next time I'm in San Juan. read more

We are staying at the Caribe Hilton and were craving something other than puerto rican food. This place is a solid choice. We order some sushi rolls and bento boxes. This place offers Japanese and American Chinese options. The owner and his family are very friendly and welcoming. You should eat here. read more

Very good food. We were overnighting off ship staying at Hilton before we go home next day and didn't want to spend arm and leg at the resort so we walked around corner cause it had good reviews and we were very pleased. It only has takeout window but we'll worth it to take back to room. Walked around corner and grabbed a few beers to go at a store before we picked up our order. read more

The service was incredible. The pinky roll (salmon) is the best roll I have ever tasted, and being from California, that's a testament to good sushi! The father and the son duo couldn't be kinder. Will come again when visiting San Juan. read more

Best place in San Juan! David, the chef, greeted us upon arrival and took our order. He was obviously eager to serve us his creations and clearly has a passion for cooking. And his food was delicious!!! We had the Ocean Roll, the Amigo Roll and General Tso's Chicken which was the best I have ever had anywhere! Do not stay in San Juan and miss this place! It is a MUST stop! read more

We ordered take out of sushi and beef bento box. Food is fresh and taste great. Strongly recommend.

Visiting Puerto Rico for the week and needed a quick meal. The prices were reasonable and the food was really good. Would definitely recommend if you have the chance! read more

We just arrived in San Juan and were walking in the Condado area looking for local seafood. Stopped in here and had amazing sushi. We explained our preferences and Chef David recommended some rolls that were fresh, tasty and truly scrumptious . I wanted spicy seaweed salad, so he created a crab and seaweed salad that was incredibly tasty. I could eat it daily and just might. We needed more, and he suggested a final roll with spicy tuna, eel and honey. It was like sushi desert!! Very imaginative and incredibly fresh. We were so pleasantly surprised by this stumbled upon gem read more

This place is within 5 mins walking distance from Caribe Hilton. It was about 9 pm and we were hungry. Honestly not looking for Chinese nor Japanese food but decided to check out the menu. Surprisingly, the owners are very friendly and speak Cantonese. We talked about how the hurricane affected them and the economy of PR. We ordered beef chow mein and it was very tasty with good portion size. We will be going back for more food this weekend! read more

Great sushi at reasonable prices, considering the location (which is also pretty nice). And super pleasant folks!

What a find! Clean, welcoming and delicious! We sampled a bit of everything and were thrilled to find this gem. The restaurant serves Chinese food and sushi, both very well done and beautifully presented, which was surprising. The starter Crab salad was so flavorful! The signature Ikura roll is generously portioned and delicious! We tried the General Tso chicken and it was fresh and spicy and served perfectly. The owner was attentive and service was quick. Pricing is reasonable for the quality, portion size, location and convenience. It's across the street from the Caribe Hilton and just in the shadow of Paseo Caribe and La Oficina. A very easy very short walk from all three locations and well worth it. We highly recommend this small business! read more

Wonderful family owned Asian restaurant. The salmon sashimi was delicious and fresh. The Chinese food was amazing too! I had the simple Egg Drop soup and it was piping hot and surprisingly delicious for such simple soup. There doesn't seem to be any MSG in their food either. We also had the Kung Pao chicken and it was fresh, spicy and had an amazing flavor. We had lived in Northern California for decades and this dish rivaled the best Kung Pao there. The owners were very friendly and service was efficient and courteous. If you are craving Asian food- especially Chinese- it is worth seeking out this restaurant. Give it a try! read more

I reviewed the old location (when it was called Nikko) and finally had a chance to come see the new location. Dined here early (6 pm) on a Monday evening. It was pretty quiet, only one other family with kids came in. The restaurant was clean and inviting, and clearly a better location than where they used to be (but I admit I miss them being walking distance from my mom's place!) Between my mom and I, both small eaters, we ate: *Spicy Crab salad = excellent, but note that I REALLY have a thing for spicy mayo *Mango Tuna salad = totally yummy! The mango and avocado were perfectly ripe *Sushi Pizza with Crab = very good. I should've ordered it spicy, I completely forgot. The regular mayo just isn't as awesome. But I this place still has the best sushi pizza I've tried. The crust is never too thick. *Yellowtail roll = quite possibly the best negi hamachi I've ever had. Honestly, I didn't even know yellowtail could be so yummy! *Spicy scallop sashimi = meh. Usually I like them, but this time some of them were unnaturally cold in the middle, like they'd just been thawed out or something, which is not a good sign *Unagi sashimi = delicious Service was attentive & friendly. read more
