Ippuku - Berkeley

Pricey but a wonderful experience and delicious food! We ordered a ton of small plates for a table of eight and were not disappointed. You will spend but for a special event, it is wonderful!

Five stars for the food and environment. The bartender and host were gracious and informative.

Delicious yakitoris, very kind and fast service, perfect atmosphere (not too noisy but cool music, people chatting and happy to be there but not too loud, low lights but you can still see each other and the delicious food) perfect evening!

Some of the best yakitori I've ever had, and that includes living in Japan. Great beef tongue and chicken tail.

A little disappointed… for both service and food. We called around 8:30pm to see if there would be spot available and the reception told us there should be openings around 9pm. So we came and was not able to get seated until almost 10pm. Food was served extremely slow… we finished our meal around 11:30pm. Not sure why even brining a bottle of sake took them half an hour??? And we were notified fries rice is sold out after the kitchen no longer took any order. Food wise… beef tongue is so over cooked… chicken meat is about average. The only one I would recommend is cherry bacon… rare combo but tastes good. Overall not recommended… too expensive for what you get.
