Amazing Japanese izakaya experience with impressive service
Amazing Japanese izakaya experience with impressive service and an amazing selection of yakitori, sake, whiskey and onigiri. If you want to be briefly transported to Japan in Berkeley, California, this is the place to go. It is also noteworthy to men
The food was amazing! I don't go to fancy restaurants often
The food was amazing! I don't go to fancy restaurants often so at first, the portions looked small to me but once I ate the food it makes perfect sense the portion sizes they serve! I usually feel bloated and/or can't finish my food at most
Reservations highly recommended as this is a busy joint!
Reservations highly recommended as this is a busy joint! Good Yakitori dinner spot, some of my favorites are pork belly skewers, squid ink fried rice, liver, gizzard, Negima, Tsukune and I always try something new each visit as well. They don't
Wow! Haven't been here since before the pandemic.
..looks like Feb 10, 2020. 5 years have passed and it still maintains excellence in ambience, food, and service! I can't say enough that I love this place. And it's so funny that my attendance is so episodic. I guess it's good to f

This is my go to spot every time I am in Berkeley.
The atmosphere is authentic and very well done. It is inviting, clean, plenty of seating and even a bar top. Service has always been great and the food is phenomenal. Anything from pork belly skewers to bacon wrapped mochi, to green onion pancakes an
Ambiance was weird, so dimely lighted I barely saw the food.
Sitting was comfortable and interesting for young people but probably not so much for family and group. . Squid balls, this was the worst dish, the crust was great texture but a lot of butter was put into the squid ball that I almost threw up . Chic

My favorite Japanese lounge with a wide selection of sake and sochu also on tap at the bar. Service is always pleasant, and the tables accommodate groups with options to sit in cross legged or western seated style. The simple onigiri rice ball is my

We came before a Pixies show at The Greek and it was honestly very hard to leave. The interior design is amazing and has a mix of traditional and eclectic, a hint of the cool weirdness is their website design as well: Geplaatst in Ippuku Berkeley Yelp Reviews

For an early birthday celebration, I wanted to take my companion out. I chose Ippuku because we'd never been and I wanted to surprise him with something new. In all honesty, it was an okay experience--a one-and-done. Ippuku is a Berkeley staple
A unassuming hole in the wall in Downtown Berkeley.
The outside has little to no signage but the food is authentic Japanese yakitori. The menu offers nice choices between traditional grilled proteins and vegetables. The chicken, pork belly and sashimi were delicious. The simplicity of grilled Japa

Ippuku is a solid Japanese izakaya in downtown Berkeley.
We spent about $235 before tip for three people, which included around 17 skewers, uni udon, a few appetizers, and two drinks. I made a reservation for 7 pm on a Saturday, and the place was packed when we arrived. We were seated right away, but the

This spot is literally just a hole in the wall, and I can't believe it took me so long to finally try it. The restaurant's aesthetic is fantastic! I'm obsessed with the ceramic plates and the condiment caddy. I love the concept of the
Fantastic yakitori beer house restaurant located near UC
Fantastic yakitori beer house restaurant located near UC Berkeley. I especially like the tsukune with egg yolk. The bacon mochi was also surprisingly good. Friendly staff. Great atmosphere and ambiance.

I've come here a couple times and Ippuku never disappoints! I love the izakaya concept and the small plates offered - you can order as much or as little as you want depending on how hungry you are. There is usually a wait so I would recommend making

Came here on a Sunday and waited 40 minutes to get seated, not bad! We ordered korokke (crab croquette), dashi maki, bekon mochi, negiyaki, ika sumi (squid ink rice), and buta bara (pork belly). Food came out faster than expected and we were able to
One of the best restaurants I've ever been to.
Very cool environment and really good food.. I always recommend it to people when they come into town or when they're looking for something outside of the normal sushi world. Definitely recommend..

We came here on a Friday night right when they opened, luckily second in line and we got sat quickly! (The last time we attempted to be here, the wait was 2-3 hours so this was a win) Let me start by saying, service and waiter were great , despite
Worth the price for the experience
Pricey but a wonderful experience and delicious food! We ordered a ton of small plates for a table of eight and were not disappointed. You will spend $$$$ but for a special event, it is wonderful!
Long wait of for a table.
Long wait of food. Too hot inside. Terribly hard to find parking.
Great food, service and atmosphere.
Loved the lighting and music. Ambience was perfectly situated between casual friend dinner/beer and formal/hip date night material--depends on your interests. I'd recommend anticipating a wait/booking a reservation ahead of time, though we were walk-

i love this izakaya place - such a rare find in berkeley! it really feels like you are in japan inside the restaurant. the appetizers and creative skewers were the star of the night, better than the meat skewers. would recommend skipping on the omaka
i've eaten at Ippuku three times now.
so far, i haven't found a "bad" about it except it seems extremely popular but since i was alone all three times, wasn't much of an issue...ha! Overall, there's nothing to not like... the izakaya items are all delicious and well made. ser
The best place to eat by campus.

Come in before opening if you don't have a reservation or be prepared to wait 2 hours if you miss the first turn. The food came in pretty quickly, and while we thought the prices were pretty reasonable, it was really just simple food. There is absolu

Ippuku has some good food but it is definitely thriving due to its location because there's no way it would survive anywhere else. Unfortunately, it's doing so well that I doubt they'd fix the issues anything soon. First of all, it's SO hot in ther

Food is good Service is good But not recommended to come after 7pm on weekend, and after 7:30pm on weekday. We drive 45 mins to come to eat and waited 1 hour for seat. And they ran out of all the popular things like chicken gizzard, liver, skin, live
Best Yakitori place in Berkeley
Really enjoyed the experience, authentic Japanese Yakitori place, just like you would find in Japan! Food was great, but if you are vegetarian you might struggle to find items (not sure, did not check). Chicken and squid is amazingly good!
Great service.
Amazing chicken bits on sticks. Not very bright but that's alright, no need to have too much light when stuffing your face of different parts of the chicken.
Highly recommend reserving a spot.
It's going to be easily 1hr+ wait otherwise. It may be less crowded during the weekdays. We had a couple of appetizers, cucumbers and seaweed; they are very small portions, FYI. But the seaweed texture was interesting, like caviars.Skewers are must i
The food, service, and ambiance was amazing.
Great Yakitori. It's hard to find a good Yakitori in the Bay Area.
I can't believe I haven't written a review yet.
I've been enjoying the food here since the day they opened. I love the mix of seating area, but my favorite spot is standing at the bar in the front, having the server pour me his favorite sake and eating there too. Do bring a hat because your head w
The menu items were unique.
The service was very good. I will definitely return again.
Great food and drinks.
Can get really busy. We put our names down and got a spot at the bar after about a half hour. You can order food at the bar so it wasn't a problem for us, it is a standing bar though. The atmosphere is great. Every dish was fantastic. The selection f

AppointmentTrader is een community-gedreven platform waar gebruikers hun reserverings kunnen ruilen of hun persoonlijke relaties met Ippuku Berkeley kunnen benutten. Kopers kunnen weloverwogen beslissingen nemen met behulp van geautomatiseerde verkopersbeoordelingen, die eerdere transacties en betrouwbaarheid weerspiegelen.
Elke plaatsing op AppointmentTrader toont je welke gebruiker deze heeft ingediend en geeft daarbij een overzicht van de gebruiker, waarin aangegeven wordt hoeveel ervaring deze gebruiker heeft en bij hoeveel procent van hun transacties zij een terugbetaling hebben uitgevoerd.
Als er geen gebruikersplaatsing is die past bij jouw schema, kun je bieden op jouw gewenste tijd.
Stel, Peter heeft een geweldige ochtend en besluit zijn drie vrienden mee te nemen naar Ippuku Berkeley om 18:00 uur diezelfde dag.
Hij controleert de website van het restaurant en ziet dat er geen reserveringen beschikbaar zijn. Vervolgens bekijkt hij de Ippuku Berkeley pagina op AppointmentTrader, maar ontdekt dat er ook geen aanbiedingen van andere gebruikers zijn.
Daar komt het door de community aangedreven biedproces van pas.
Peter kan een bod plaatsen op AppointmentTrader. Dit bod dient als beloning voor ieder communitylid dat helpt om de reservering te regelen. AT stuurt dan notificaties naar ervaren gebruikers die mogelijk kunnen helpen.
Stapsgewijs Proces
1.) Beloning Instellen (Bod)
* AppointmentTrader gebruikt historische data om een redelijk beloningsbedrag aan te bevelen voor het regelen van een reservering – stel, $100.
* Peter wil er graag heen, dus verhoogt hij het bod (de beloning) naar $200.
* Op dit punt bestaat de reservering nog niet.
2.) Een Communitygebruiker Neemt het Bod Op
* PatientCloth46, een ervaren AT-gebruiker, heeft veel succes met het regelen van reserveringen en ontvangt weinig terugbetalingsverzoeken. Zij ontvangen een melding van Peter’s bod van $200.
* PatientCloth46 neemt het bod op, wat betekent dat zij nu gaan proberen de reservering te regelen.
* Peter kan nu met PatientCloth46 overleggen als hij vragen heeft terwijl PatientCloth46 het bod probeert te vervullen.
3.) De Reservering Vinden
* PatientCloth46 gebruikt nu hun contacten bij Ippuku Berkeley om de tafel te regelen.
* Als het lukt om de tafel voor vier om 18:00 uur te bemachtigen, krijgt Peter een bevestiging dat de reservering geslaagd is.
* Als PatientCloth46 de reservering niet kan regelen, gaat het bod terug in de pool zodat een andere gebruiker het kan proberen.
4.) Betaling & Bescherming
* Zodra de reservering is geregeld, ontvangt PatientCloth46 de $200 beloning, die wordt bijgeschreven op het AT-saldo van PatientCloth46. Gebruikers beheren hun eigen saldo en kunnen laten uitbetalen via opties zoals bankoverschrijving, PayPal of Zelle.
* Peter kan nu genieten van het diner met zijn vrienden bij Ippuku Berkeley!
* Zoals bij alle transacties op AT worden geschillen en no-show kosten afgehandeld via het community-gedreven resolutiesysteem van het platform. Gebruikers met een sterke reputatie worden gestimuleerd om biedingen succesvol te vervullen, en communityleden kunnen problemen melden om het vertrouwen in de marktplaats te waarborgen.
