Decided to eat lunch here since there was no queue at all at around 1215pm. Given a counter seat and turn up a good experience to see the sushi chef go about preparing his food. 3 chefs behind the counter which is mainly the raw food section, cooked food kitchen is closed concept. Cleanliness is definitely a priority here as all the chefs were gloved properly. Also got to see how to 40cents salmon soya sauce sushi is prepared. The chef actually have it all prepared in a box container, prior to serving he will torch with with a portable flame from a canister. As usual you can only order 2 pieces per pax. I also ordered the unagi don $12 which is grilled eel with scrambled egg on rice. Comes with a miso soup as well. I counted there are 8 slices of eel given but egg was quite in abundance. The rice went went with the scrambled egg sauce and the eel was perfect. Above $10, your green tea will be foc. Total bill $15.05 including service charge and gst.

If I could order the whole list of sushi on the menu, I would. Itacho Sushi offers premium, exotic sushi at affordable prices. Here's a few.Flying fish roe gunkan and lobster salad gunkan. The sushi were all made fresh. Fried squid with salmon and ebiko roe salad. It was flavourful and the cucumbers in the salad added a refreshing crunch to the taste. Tempura Shrimp with sea salt. It was freshly fried and not oily at all.

Ion Orchard, Itacho Sushi which serves great quality sushi. The place is always packed though and almost always will need to line up to get a seat. Ordered the soft shell crab hand roll - S$4.50++ it was pretty good. clear soup with yellow tail head - S$6.00++, the soup was nice and taste sweet. recommended for those sushi lovers to dine here. pricing for some dish might be expensive.

The cover page of the menu. Realised that the restaurant charges sushi per piece which I guess is quite expensive. You can chalk up a large bill unknowingly as you try out different sushi. * The restaurant don't accept Capitamall voucher too*

Soft shell crab and maki rice is a grear, wonderful complement that is so delicious to the tastebuds! Love the crispy, freshly fried soft shel crabs that is wrapped with chrunchy cucumbers and soft white japanese rice. The outside of the maki is not wrapped with the usual seaweed but rather it is covered with flavourful pork floss! Add a piece of giner and a dash pf soya sauce and the maki is perfect.

I'm disappointed with their Hamachi, and Ikura though I usually love yellow tail and salmon eggs, but somehow theirs don't fit my taste. Avoid the cooked dishes, stick with the sushis. And generally avoid the cheap promotions, they are cheap for a reason...

Itacho has been (and still is) one of my favourite places to go to for sushi, especially their roasted salmon/salmon sushi -really divine and at reasonable prices of approximately $1.20 per piece too. Today I decided to try their lunch set and opt for the $9.90 Sakura Don which consists of diced tamago, assorted fish and Japanese cucumber on a bed of rice, served with miso soup.

Itacho has been (and still is) one of my favourite places to go to for sushi, especially their roasted salmon/salmon sushi -really divine and at reasonable prices of approximately $1.20 per piece too. Today I decided to try their lunch set and opt for the $9.90 Sakura Don which consists of diced tamago, assorted fish and Japanese cucumber on a bed of rice, served with miso soup. The sakura don was slightly disappointing, the rice was slightly too wet (presumably with the fish and the cucumber) and I found bone in my fish (considering it was chopped into small piece I thought it was off-putting). Other than that, the portion was substantial, the serving of the fish to vegetable/egg ratio was decent, and the miso soup was hot with ample seaweed and leek in it. For it's price at $9.90, I would say you get what you pay for and it's a decent set meal. 3.5/5

The soy sauce salmon sushi was at a half-price promotion when I went, meaning that instead of 80cents per piece it is now 40cents. Itacho also limits it to 2 per person! Once again, I was disappointed by this. The salmon barely had any meat at all, just fatty (skin?). It also had a slightly fishy smell, had no particular flavour whatsoever and even though the rice was compact, the fish was neither cold nor warm and tasted on the whole, like eating slightly-salty fatty skin. Will never eat this again even though it's one of the cheaper selections. 2/5

Ambience wise, it is definitely a nice, chill place. Furnished with wooden tables, it all has a pretty zen feel to the restaurant save for the bustling chaos during peak dining hours. You also get a drink (hot/cold green tea) on the house when you order more than $10 per head. The hot green tea is nothing fantastic (tea bag green tea), but it complements the sushi. Don't expect stellar service here, you'll be lucky if you received exceptionally good service -after all, people come here for the food not the staff.

I would recommend the sushi instead of the sets -try the salmon, roasted salmon and shrimp egg, I had a far better experience with them! The quality of the sushi is good for the price, and it's also great to share when you order an assortment. Price wise, expect to pay around $20+ per person at least for the sushi if you're trying out a few types. Do note that for reservations, min spend is $25 per head and if you don't end up spending $25 you'll have to takeaway sushi to make up for the balance/order more. Not ideal, but given that Itacho is high in demand, I wouldn't be surprised they have this policy.

As per the title, the salmon with soy sauce sushi is only available for order of 2 pieces per diner (40cents each). It looks more like salmon with skin though and taste like fatty tuna where the salmon melts when bitten. Also tried the roast duck breast sushi ($1.50), roasted salmon sushi ($1.20), spicy salmon sakura inari sushi ($1.90), curry lobster with tobiko ($1.30) and whole sea eel ($6.50).

I especially like the whole sea eel, simple with just the thin unagi and thick sauce. The curry lobster did have a strong indian curry smell but it came with wasabi so i didn't really like it. The roast duck is served as a slice on top of the rice with a nice pink color to it. Service wise i wouldn't rate it to high as our waitress was kind of not warm enough for a restaurant service staff....she shd at least put on a smile

I love japanese food and Itacho Sushi has really affordable sushi. The sushi is priced at a reasinable price and the quality of the ingredients are not too bad. however, the serving portions may vary from branch to branch. The salmon roll is not bad as the sushi rice is wrapped around succulent, fresh sashimi!! Their sushi on promotion also changes hence giving the restaurant a good variety of food.

Fresh salmon are being roasted using a strong gas fire which made it a bit cooked on the outer layer of the meat but still having that nice texture of Salmon sashimi feel. Nice dish indeed.

Slices of Avocado mixed with lettuce, crab meat, cherry tomato and egg topped with some mayonnaise. Not a bad dish and actually if they used some fat free salad sauce would be better.

Not too Oily and it tastes fresh as compared to other outlet. At least it wont feel like eating fried soft shell crab that had been left there for hours.

Service is moderate. I usually dine in big groups and staff have not much issue allocating seats for us which is a plus point!

Ambience
Outlet is rather small and packed many times. A noisy atmosphere.

Price
For quality food, price is worthwhile paying.

Recommendation / Tips
Do expect long waiting hours during dinner times. You May wait up to an hour or more. Do make reservation if possible

If you like Sashimi, try its swordfish sashimi.
Roasted Egg/Tamago is a must try!

Went there for late lunch with a colleague and here's what we ordered. Fish Roe topped on sushi rice. I was surprised when this dish came as I was expecting it to be of a bigger portion. It was just two mouthfuls of rice at most. The saving grace was the copious amount of fresh fish roe showered on the sushi rice. This is the BOMB, seriously. Lobster salad on salmon sashimi wrapped with sushi rice. Cost: $30-40 for 2 person.

I was immersed in the menu. Interestingly, the dishes on the menu come with surreal names, to the likes of; kraken roll, Kentucky roll etcI have to say the names were quite intriguing and it was rather tempting to want to try all of them.

I love their hand rolls
