Comment: Our experience here was just wonderful. You start with a really nice and simple decor. The music is quite and relaxing.We tried scallion pancake and miso soup for starters and then got some rolls. Even the dishes are pretty there. Did I mention that for 3$ they bring you not just a cup but a big pot of green tea?Highly recommend this place

Comment: Great new sushi place in the area. We were able to walk in on Sunday night and eat at the sushi bar (there were tables too). Service was super fast & staff was very nice. Prices are reasonable but some of the portions were small (crispy rice with tuna & the rock shrimp were smaller than we expected). Otherwise, food was good! Will definitely come back here and try more rolls. Front of the restaurant is a little bright for my liking but the back had better lighting & atmosphere.

Comment: Food: There are a lot of options when it comes to food and drinks. There are so many veggie rolls to pick from and they even made something off menu for my husband. I got the veggie tempura roll and it was so yummy. They actually had all types of veggies in it and it was perfectly crispy. We got 2 appetizers there - the veggie gyoza and the scallion pancake. The scallion pancakes were delicious and perfectly flavored. I will say that the veggie gyoza tasted like all others Ive had at other restaurants, good but not excellent. There are a few other veggie apps I definitely plan to try when we go back. My husband got an off menu avocado peanut roll. This is one of the few sushi places where I felt like they didnt skimp on the avocado or peanuts. The drinks menu looked delicious but we werent really feeling like alcohol so we got a pot of tea. The tea comes in this beautiful pot with very nice cups. Were big tea drinkers and are pretty specific about our teas and their jasmine tea was very nice - beautiful blend of different flavors. This whole pot of premium jasmine tea was $3!? We were stunned!Service: The staff is very friendly and the service is very fast even when they are really busy.Ambiance: This place is so cute. I love the theme, it feels very modern but comfortable at the same time. Its great spot for dates or small groups. All their dishware and glassware was so beautiful and perfectly in theme with the restaurant.Price: The prices are very reasonable and I was very surprised at the amount of food we were able to get for less than $40 for 2 people. We got 2 appetizers, 2 sushi rolls, and a big pot of tea. Bonus: Unlike most places, they didnt charge us extra for sriracha or spicy mayo.Overall, this was such an amazing dining experience. I am so grateful its in our local neighborhood so we can keep coming back. Our favorite sushi place closed down post COVID so we are ecstatic to have found Ikyu.If you found this review helpful, please let me know :)Also, add me on Instagram: @TheShahLALand

Comment: I ate here last night and I think this is hands down my favorite sushi spot now! Based on other reviews we ordered the angry dragon roll and it was DELICIOUS!! Definitely try the fried calamari and crystal shrimp dumplings too!! The spider roll is one of my favorites but the nigiri is so fresh and worth the price because it had me stunned with how good each piece was! Also for dessert you must have the panna cotta and yuzu cheesecake 10/10!! I already cant wait to go again and want to go during lunch to try other items on the menu! Ill be dining at this restaurant whenever I visit the UES!

Comment: 9/10!! Ikyu had amazing staff. My girlfriend accidentally dropped a chopstick, and they immediately came to give a new one. Sometimes, it’s the little things. The sushi rolls were slightly expensive anywhere from $10-20. The plate in front of me is the Salmon Fizz Roll and a Shrimp Tempura Roll behind it. The one on the other plate was a Salmon Skin roll. All of them were served well. The fish was fresh, the ingredients were prepped properly, and overall was a very enjoyable experience. For desert, we tried the cream cheese ice cream with honey and peanuts (I know sounds weird). The server even made shredded to ask if we were allergic to peanuts which some servers don’t do enough honestly. After a while it did grow on me, and it felt like the dish only came together when you had all three on a spoon. The honey with only the ice cream felt misplaced. So I’d give desert a 6.5/10. The ambiance is really nice, and definitely makes for a great spot to eat whether you’re on a date or by yourself (They have stools in front of the sushi bar). Definitely would go again!

Comment: I had a great dining experience at lkyu. The food was delicious, and I noticed theyve recently undergone new renovations, which added to the ambiance. Their eclectic cuisine, blending Japanese, Chinese, and various Asian flavors, offers a unique and satisfying dining experience thats sure to please a wide range of tastes. A must-try for anyone looking for diverse Asian cuisine!

Comment: I’ve been to IKYU twice now ( once for lunch and once for a dinner date.)Lunch: Came here with friends and for $16 ( 3 roll lunch with soup or salad) for fresh quality sushi in Manhattan is a great deal. The staff was friendly enough to set us up with Sake Bombs to celebrate even though it’s obvious they usually don’t have customers request them. We came around 2:30 PM on a work day and so had the whole restaurant to ourselves .Dinner Date: They dim the lights and put out candles which created a great ambiance. We had the sushi for 2 which was a lot of food for us ( $70) 2 mixed drinks had they fun flowing as well. The restaurant is modern, clean and the staff is friendly.Sushi bar is proudly in front when you walk in as to see their fresh fish .Honestly a great spot .

Comment: Food is not bad considering the location. Its a roomy restaurant but it can be very loud, so its not ideal for an intimate experience. The staff moves around so hecticly theres an anxious feeling in the air- which also makes it hard get a waiters attention. Overall it is one of the better sushi places in the neighborhood.

Comment: Ikyu was a great time, we’ve been here a few times before and recently visited with friends from out of town They were all raving about the delicious and quality sushi and teriyaki, everything we ordered was amazing, including the gyoza. The drinks were also quite unique and delicious. Service was crazy fast, but we felt super comfortable about sushi as we could see it all being made at their sushi counter! Also really love the overall lounge-y vibe of the space. Great spot, great food, and great service!

Comment: Great ambiance, generous sushi, and great service. However, the tempura bits in the spicy rolls were a bit stale, and the tempura appetizer was made with a weird sort of beer batter, not the light and fluffy tempura stuff. Would come back again to try their fusion menu.
