We tried Izakaya Ittoku for the first time after wanting to go for a while. The interior is interesting -- it has bright fluorescent overhead lighting that I wouldn't expect from an izakaya type of restaurant. Overall the food came out pretty quickly and we got to try a variety of dishes.
The niku
I love all of the Japanese restaurants in Porter Square. Came here with a group of friends. The place is spacious, so it is good for groups, but you will need a reservation because it gets busy.
Overall, the food was not as good as I expected, but it wasn't bad either. My favorite was the mentaiko
Great place to grab Japanese street food, beer and Japanese whiskey & sake. Very good service from everyone here just like in Asia and affordable prices too. Love it here!
The homemade mocha pudding was the best! It had the right amount of sweet and the amount of matcha was just perfect. The fried chicken was really good and so was everything else.
What a gem in Porter! We came to this izakaya very often and enjoy the vibe a lot. Not to mention to food is delicious!
One of the most authentic Japanese restaurants in Boston. The food is consistently fresh and delicious, and the staff is friendly.
Best Japanese food ever had! I went there alone so I didn’t have to wait. Food is great! I highly recommend the matcha pudding!
Everything at the restaurant was great especially the yakitori! The vibe was nice, staff was friendly and very efficient. Super affordable! There is a line so do make reservations ahead of time!
Would definitely recommend!
The wait staff were so friendly. The outdoor seating is very cozy as well. Would definitely go back again! Good value for what they offer.
5/24/23 - the staff never miss. I will always recommend this spot to people!
Super fast service and delicious food. The pressed mackerel sushi and the chirashi don were highlights. The rice of the salmon and tuna maki is too moist and mushy. Not the best. The skewers are great. Parking at the back lot is a money grab even with validation.
