Wonderful breakfast/brunch venue. Obviously a neighborhood spot based on the mix of diners who were there on a Sunday. Not a budget place to eat, but rather a high quality restaurant with excellent service and food!

Great presentation, great service, and interesting dishes. Prices are a bit steep on certain items and the quantity you get is not much. Portions are a bit small but very tasty. We will be back to try a few other things. We spent $200 for two people for Valentine's day dinner.

This was our second visit to Itoko, both experiences were fantastic! On both occasions we described our preferences to the server and both times, we were blown away with the selection and quality of each dish. It’s apparent that the restaurant’s staff is incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about their process and presentation. Some of the best nigiri I’ve ever had. I would recommend Itoko for any occasion you wouldn’t mind repeating.
