Was Michael Schuett at Ippuku a mag?
Very authentic izakaya with great yakitori. If you're not used to it, the yakitori is done on a charcoal grill (binchotan) which lends to a fairly smoky flavor. Not everyone at my table loved it, but I enjoy it very much. As far as the starters, the fried fern is fantastic, as is the squid ink fried rice. View all feedback.
What Lex dislikes about Ippuku:
The only reason I give this 2 stars is because of the chicken karaage and pork belly. The shiitake mushroom wasn’t even cooked, no seasoning and we didn’t even get a whole mushroom. Chicken skewer was SO BLAND and beef tongue skewer was tough and dry. The seats were uncomfortable with a 2 inch pillow and concrete beneath you. Service was good. Ambiance was meh. This place is way overrated. View all feedback.
We had a quick dinner recently during a break from a downtown Berkeley film festival.
Will not be returning! I don't write one star reviews often, something really has to bother me for me to post a review like this. I will start by
Came here with a few friends before a concert at the Greek on Friday.

Like walking through a curtain and being magically transported to a back street of Tokyo. Really, there’s some serious illusion magic going on here. The ambiance and the food literally transport you. Be brave and let the chefs pick the chicken pieces for you (the neck is the best! and throw in a side of savory squid ink fried rice. Incredible and welcoming staff makes this place so perfect. Price per person: $50–100 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5 Recommended dishes: Yakitori, Squid Ink Fried Rice
