Itacho Sushi (Closed)

Started from HK and spread to SG. They make good sushi affordable. Gone are the days when a good salmon sushi costs $1.90 a piece.At first, I was very curious about how a 40cents salmon sushi tasted like. After my first bite, it had become my must-eat. The lightly char-ed surface brought out the fattiness in the salmon and the layer of sweet soy sauce enhanced the flavor.Another interesting fact. The creator of Itacho is a sushi master in Japan and the first few non-jap buyer who over bid the jap for their Tuna!This plate of sushi costed less than S$15. Different textures and flavors obtained from the different sushi made it so interesting and appetizing to eat.  …Read More

We went for the sushi promotion which starts at 9pm. Offer is $0.80 for a pair of sushi for selected flavours. If you buy more than 12 pairs of sushi you get a free milk tea. This offered good value and was filling.Pork sushi was unique but on the whole wont order it again at its normal price. Somehow the pork was not suited for sushi. We enjoyed the tuna sushi, which was glazed briefly over fire, and it removed some of the fishy smell.We also had some kind of fish on a satay stick with mango sauce- it was nice and unique. This was not part of the promotion.On a whole would come for the promotion again, very worth it…Read More

Fried japanese oysters $12 were fresh and the juices were retained within even though they were deep fried. Grilled cod fish roll with beancurd skin $6 - The beancurd skin was sweet but the cod fish tasted average. The grilled salmon with spicy miso was quite thin but the flesh was tender and the spicy miso taste was quite subtle. Lastly, the milk green tea was decent! I wasn't expecting much but every sip got me wanting more. If you love bubble teas, this is worth a try :) …Read More

As my partner and I weren't really hungry and I wanted something healthy, we decided on Itacho for dinner. We ordered some sushi to share:Roasted squid leg sushi and Salmon soya sauce sushi: The salmon sushi was only 40cents each! Really nice and cheap - something that I always order whenever I go to Itacho. Such a pity that they're only limited to 2 per pax :(This seared tuna roll ($5.50) was on their special menu, the heading was something like 'Bluefin Tuna Festival' with other types of bluefin tuna sushi and sashimi. This taste okay to me.. I still prefer their aburi salmon sushi.Mantis Prawn Sushi $3: This was the first time I has seen a Mantis Prawn Sushi in any restaurant. We decided to give it a try. The flesh tasted like crab with its natural subtle sweetness but the texture was more firm. Not bad!Other dishes that we ordered..Soft shell crab hand roll $4.90: Tasted like all other soft shell crab hand rolls, with the rice, shredded cucumber and soft shell crab wrapped in a piece of seaweed. The only thing which can improve for this dish would be for the seaweed to be more crisp.Salmon sashimi $1.80: We got these at 50% off! Even though there're only 3 slices, they are pretty big slices and very fresh, hence we think it's pretty worth it Have been to Itacho (other branches) before and I've never been disappointed :) Will definitely return for its healthy, fresh and affordable food!…Read More

Went to itacho with a group of friends during the happy hour, and we were able to enjoy great jap food at discounted prices. I got myself a small hot spring egg cold udon with sesame oil ($6.80), and it tasted GREAT! Mainly because of the unique taste and the springy noodles. Also got a number of ala carte sushi at 80 cents each! Those I can remember: mango avocado sushi roll, fish roe roll, spicy salmon roll. Also, if you buy 12 pieces of sushi, you get one free green tea or milk tea! Had a really full meal and I only spent about $13, which is very worth it for the great quality. My friends who didn't buy udon or rice spent under $10 and they ate a lot too! Great atmosphere too. There were 5 people in our party and we went into one of the private booths, where we sat for a few hours (till the last order). The disadvantage about sitting inside is that it's not so easy to catch the attention of the service staff. Totally recommend going here! …Read More
