Itacho Sushi

Fatty Tuna with Spring Onion Roll ($6.50)First off, there is a lack of balance in its flavor, in that the tuna used was inconsistent and some of the rolls had an overwhelming taste of seaweed. The rice was cold, again disrupting the delicate balance of the dish. Lastly, there was a clear lack of physical strength put into rolling the sushi, resulting in a brittle structure that easily falls apart. The tiny air pockets trapped between rice grains also affect the overall taste slightly.With that said, the Sushi does score on many other factors, all of which remained consistent with the other dishes I ordered. The rice used was of good quality (which is precisely why it shouldn't be served cold to demean its taste). It had just the right amount of stickiness, chewiness and fragrance. it was also seasoned well by the chef(s) to have just the right mix of vinegar, salt and sugar, resulting in the subtle but sophisticated style of smooth, ever-so-slightly sour-sweetness that any properly done sushi rice should have. The Tuna was also of good quality, with a robust, fatty taste that melts in your mouth and leaves a delicate lingering aftertaste in your mouth.For full review with photos, please visit http://freshffm.blogspot.sg/2014/05/itacho-sushi-bugis-junction-two-and.html…查看更多

The sushi rice is warm and the sashimi on top of the sushi is very fresh. The set lunch is very value for money. Used to cost only $9.90 but now the price has been increased to $10.90 for the 9 piece sushi set. F your total bill exceed $20. The green tea is free. I especially like the squid sushi which have Yuzu dressing and the scallop which is big and sweet. You may also order items which are on 40% offer, such as the grill salmon sushi etc at 40% off per piece. During lunch hour it could be quite crowded. …查看更多

It is my regular Japanese restaurant when I have Japanese craving. It is conveniently located at bugis junction and within 2 minutes walking distance from bugis mrt station. It always have a long queue during lunch and dinner hour. Please prepare for the waiting.The aburi salmon sushi never disappoint me after so many times visit. Their standard are just good. The salmon is fresh and melt in mouth immediately. The rice are well cooked and perfect match with the salmon. I like to visit itacho because they offer a good and affordable Japanese cuisine.…查看更多

Personally, Itacho Sushi is one of my more preferred options when it comes to chain Japanese restaurants that serve sushi within shopping centres. While we were just walking around Bugis Junction, we walked past an Itacho Sushi outlet and since I had not really visited them in a while, why not make a visit now?The Crab Meat Salad ($4.80) may be disappointing to some by substituting Surimi for Crab meat, however the cucumbers were refreshing and the fish roe would just burst with every bite. The light salad sauce also does not overpower the various flavours within the dish, and with a price tag of below $5, you can’t really expect anything more than this with its freshness.The Grilled Salmon with Spicy Miso ($8.00) was nicely grilled with a crispy skin but retained its succulent texture on the inside. The fish was lightly marinated with Miso which gives it some flavour, but not so much that it would cover off the signature taste of salmon. Japanese-style chili powder is sprinkled on top, giving the fish a moderately spicy sensation.Illustrations on the menu showed a full cup of rice with Eel Mini Rice ($4.00) presented over the rice, but when it came to the table, it was more than just minuscule. With only a pinch of rice served, this definitely looks smaller than any kids meal. However, it is definitely a good size for those who just wants have a try of different items as it is barely filling. The Unagi was well marinated with a sauce that really brought out its flavour, though some pieces were a tad scaly.For more photos and the full review, please visit: http://jiaksimipng.wordpress.com/2013/10/06/itacho-sushi-bugis-junction/…查看更多

Itacho Sushi dont allow reservations therefore i waited 30 minutes before i can be seated inside. Ordered the steamed egg which has 3 pieces, Unagi sushi, California sushi and fish egg sushi. I like all of them because there are exclusively hand made by the chef. The egg sushi is moist and warm unlike others which can be dry and not tasty at all. The unagi is fresh and the amount of rice is just nice! The California sushi is my favourite because there is avocado inside and the overall taste matches very well! One of the best sushi restaurant in Singapore.…查看更多

This is my first time eating at the Bugis Itacho. The queue was quite long (understandable, given that it's Friday night) and it took a 45min wait before I could get in. My friend and I had mostly sushi for dinner, with some sides and random orders. The tuna sushi, salmon sushi and fatty tuna sushi was good and pretty fresh. However, the mini don was too small (with too little sashimi bits).…查看更多

Firstly, there is a really very long queue for Itacho during peak dinner hours, once I gave up after queuing halfway; so it is best not to go during peak hours. I was craving for some appetizers and decided to order their scallops - scallops were fresh, but the portion was rather little. I also had some sushi, including the one with the beancurd skin. Nothing special about their sushi though.…查看更多

This was my second visit to Itacho Sushi, but my first time eating its sushi. My previous visit was to Jcube's outlet and ordered the udon - didn't leave a good impression though.That said, the sushi were not bad.Well, as compared to Sushi Tei, Itacho Sushi somehow is more lacking in terms of freshness.But, it was still decent.Shout out to those visiting Bugis and am deciding where to go, head to Itacho Sushi....because of its promotions!Take advantage of the 50% sushi. Particularly, the 40 cents sushi is delicious! The salmon with soysauce is a must order! Sadly, each person can only order 2!…查看更多

Finally after reading many reviews of Itacho Sushi, I had the chance to dine here. It was a mini gathering with ex-colleagues and we knock off around 7 plus instead of 10pm on one of the weekdays for the dinner. It's super tough to get to knock off that early on usual time :)We decided to queue for this japanese restaurant. The queue is approximately 15-20 minutes before we were given a place to dine. The restaurant seems to be short handed of staff as the staffs are not prompt to react to customers' needs. We keep putting up our hands but nobody came to attend us. My friend has to go to their counter and get the tablespoon.One of the reason is because the restaurant is full house.We ordered handroll as I was craving for salmon sashimi.I still prefer salmon avocado with mayonnaise and ebbiko handroll. Nevertheless the handroll seaweed is crispy and the salmon is quite fresh as well.Crab meat salad @ S$4.80Good start as an appetizer before the main course. It's quite refreshing and the crab meat, cucumbers are nicely sliced into thin layers and mixed well with the mayonnaise sauce with the ebbiko topping on top of it.Salmon with soy sauce @ S$0.40 per pc.Roasted squid leg sushi @ S$2.30 per pcSince this is a special offer, every customer is only applicable to 2 pieces for the sushi.Taste wise is acceptable. Squid leg is chewy when we bite.Salmon with soy sauce taste fine for me but i would prefer to go for salmon sashimi.Binchou Tuna with Citrus Sauce @ S@2.50 per pcIt's a bit dry for me and we are able to taste the citrus sauce. Not much preference of this sushi but it definitely taste fine.Roasted scallop with flying fish salad @ S$1.50 per pc.Roasted scallop is nice. The scallop is quite thick and you able to taste the sweetness of the scallop. The flying fish salad sauce added flavor onto the taste and also the colour of the sushi.Curry sliced pork with rice @ S$11.00 per serving.Presentation is fine and the taste is acceptable for my colleagues. I didn't tried so no much comment from my side. But my colleague commented that the pork are nicely sliced and they are able to taste the softness texture of the meat and able to chew easily.Sliced pork with udon which i forget the price. The portion is just nice for one and not to full to consume. As for my own preference, i wouldn't spend time to queue for it. Price wise is affordable as a chain of japanese restaurant. The restaurant is located at basement of Bugis Junction Shopping mall. It is accessible through Bugis MRT Station. …查看更多

Itacho sushi is very tasty.The sushi was surprisingly good.Prices are quite high but it is generally reasonable.

The goyza-3 pieces at $2.40.Very crispy fried skin and meat inside juicy served with curry salt on the side.I like the sushi there because they are really tasty and fresh.sure will visit this restaurant again.…查看更多

Ordered a plate of raw sushi. It's so yummy and fresh! The hotatae is huge and tasty. The meat is really sweet and succulent. The rice too is very soft and delicious. I ordered their shrimp sushi as well. The translucent skin of the shrimp is so tempting. It is fresh, sweet and succulent upon first bite. I will dip them into the light soya sauce and pinch a little wasabi to taste. Fabulous!…查看更多

Visited Itacho Sushi @ Bugis Junction! This HK based sushi restaurant serves up fresh, delectable sushi!!! Green tea is free if you spend above $20.First off, Yellowfin tuna sashimi: 3 slices of FRESH, AWESOME, thick tuna sashimi. I don’t know what they do to their roasted eggs, but TAMAGO is DAMN awesome. Right mix of fluffy, eggy goodness.And perhaps my favourite order for the day. I’m at a loss of words for this Lobster & Mango Salad Roll, presented under their Creative sushi section. The generous slice of tangy mango + lobster salad, just so many flavours, textures (soft mango, crunchy roe, salad bits) going on!!!I so love Itacho Sushi. Wish I could try everything on the menu, but I need to have lots of cash to do that. A good place to splurge once in a while on good sushi. Come to think of it, the prices are rather reasonable given their fast service and FRESH sushi. No wonder there is always a queue waiting to go in.…查看更多

We walked pass this restaurant alot of times so we decided that we should try it out. Service was pretty fast. We didn't have to wait long to be served. The sushi are quite cheap also. Ordered the chicken cutlet rice as my main dish then followed by miso soup. As the sushi is reasonably priced, we decided to order some to try. The salmon taste great and the size was quite huge (for that price). I'm surprised to find that it wasn't those thinly sliced salmon like what you would find in restaurants that sell cheap sushi. All in all, it was good value for money. Would definitely visit again.…查看更多

Heard from my friend this sushi chain was from hongkongso we went to try The sushi was surprisingly good. Prices are generally reasonableA piece of aburi salmon belly sushi is only less than $3& the fish to rice ratio was a lot better than many of the other sushi chain restaurants Service was excellent. when one of the waitresses made a mistake with an taco dish that I’d ordered, she volunteered to change it, even though I’d taken a piece already, without any complaints or questions askedOverall i rate 8/10…查看更多
