What Michael Schuett likes about Ippuku:
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 doesn't like 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.

Undoubtedly, it is the most authentic izakaya in California.
