This is my second visit and it won’t be my last.
The food is incredible. Great nigiri, fresh and very reasonably priced.
On this occasion I ordered the nigiri and the tempura udon. The two other dishes were complementary, by the very nice chef at the bar. The complimentary dishes were delicious.
The service could’ve been better. I feel like the waiters on both visits haven’t been very attentive.
Great food and it’s very reasonably priced.
There was not too many options for Asian food in the neighborhood, and we were glad to find this Japanese restaurant.
The service good, and the atmosphere was great as well. The food quality was not bad, but the seasoning was a little off (maybe affected by American food?) from the authentic Japanese food. Perhaps the sushi would be better.
This was my first time eating at Ichi-Riki Japanese Restaurant, located in Monterey, California. I was in the mood for some fresh Sushi, and this restaurant was highly recommended by Google.
I decided to give it a try and wasn't disappointed. I had the Dragon and California Rolls. Both rolls were made to order, and the ingredients tasted fresh.
If I find myself back in Monterey, I would definitely eat here again. If there was any drawbacks to this establishment it would be that the seating felt a little cramped, but other than that the food is worth a try.
Saturday night dinner. They are pretty busy but have plenty of seating. We always order too much but finished everything.
My favorite was the salmon carpaccio-tuna tartare. It was supposed to be mine but my son ate half of it.
Miso eggplant was good.
Chicken karaage was good too.
Oysters were the larger ones. We prefer the smaller sized ones.
Sushi rolls were good.
I would come back for the carpaccio/tartare!
We had such a nice dinner. We shared a "Jo", sake sashimi, and a vegetable roll
Everything was delicious and the service was so welcoming.
The food and service were amazing! I was so stuffed but wanted to eat more!
After trying couple of japanese resto around I must say this is the most authentic one. From the food, service and the atmosphere of the resto everything is so good. My husband and I loved the unagi donburi and nabeyaki udon!!! お勧め!!!

Ichi Riki is the oldest Japanese restaurant in the county. It’s also an authentic Japanese restaurant that is Japanese owned. The restaurant was recently sold because the owner passed away and her family sold the restaurant. The new owner is cleaning up the restaurant and slowly doing some renovations. The customer service is alright and the food is great. Price is reasonable and portions are generous. There’s 2 small parking lots owned by the restaurant but one of them is constantly packed because of the stereo shop and glass shop. Street parking is horrible. Family friendly restaurant.
This place was amazing! The food was fresh and delicious. It seems like a traditional fare with few deep fried or cream cheese dishes. I loved the freshness of the fish and the caliber of the rolls. Our service was amazing and consistent. Our favorite was the quail eggs. We love these and these ones were fresh and presented well. Highly recommend!
Everyone was so nice. The food was awesome. Can't wait to go back.
