I ordered a few Party trays for my son's 21st surprise Birthday party. It was my first time trying this sushi place and it did not disappoint. Everyone enjoyed the food. The tray presentation was beautiful and pleasing. The sushi was great and well priced. I will definitely come back. I highly recommend this sushi place. It's worth it. Thank you so much! ~Kat

The husband and I placed an order for takeout and he went to pick up our order. Ichiko Sushi is more of a grab and go/take out spot as seating is very limited. They have a poke bar where you can create your own poke bowl (would need to try at some point!), and a vast menu considering the size of the place. Other than poke bowls, they do some bento boxes, many types of rolls / sushi, and spam musubi, and something they all origiri (not the triangle shaped rice balls with filling). I tried a couple rolls. They had so many to choose from, so I solely went based on the names because I didn't have time to read through everything. What I tried were - Black Jack Roll - Salmon, avocado, cilantro inside, yellowtail, jalapeño, black tobiko, special sauce, and spicy mayo on the outside. Doesn't quite take me back to the black jack table, but I love the name and most things in this roll. What I didn't appreciate was the cilantro inside. Bleh! LOL. Most got picked out, and the rest of the roll was amazing. Packaged very nicely too. Love the huge pieces of salmon inside as well. Straight Flush Roll - Tempura oyster, crab meat, cilantro inside, streamed shrimp, avocado, unagi sauce, tobiko on the outside. It's been years since I've gotten a straight flush in poker... video poker, but this was a fun roll! I wouldn't have gotten it based on the description alone, but I was pleasantly surprised. The fried oysters inside didnt have much flavor, but the roll was good in a texture standpoint. More cilantro? That went into the nope pile. Bento box with chicken Katsu and spicy chicken - comes with the usual bento boxes stuff, such as salad and soup, rice, etc. The chicken Katsu was done pretty well in comparison to our usual takeout spots. The spicy chicken wasn't that great. Lacked flavor in comparison. Avocado onigiri - seaweed, rice, avocado, spam, egg. This was decent. Not the typical origiri, but the ingredients was a good mix. Most of the flavor came from the spam, and texture came from the avocado. Was OK, wouldn't get again though. Chicken Katsu origiri - somehow this was a miss for me. It lacked flavor and most were plain tasting. Maybe something was missing? Overall, I'd return to try some more rolls and perhaps try a poke bowl. People here were nice and helpful. Love the convenience of online ordering and going there to pick up. Definitely not one of those nice sit down spots, but solid spot to bring some great food home.

Just WOW! This was something I wasn't expecting for my lunch break. When I ordered sashimi, normally I would expect average size, or how normally other restaurants would skimped you. Not this place! It took me at least 5 bites to finish one! First time ordering from this place, and I will be back for more! Super fresh, also my taro milk tea was PERFECT! It is always a hit and miss any other place!

Being from Hawaii I love me some musubi. But TBH never had inigiri before. Didn't even know it was a thing. Basically it's an open face musubi. I had the chx katsu curry one and a chx katsu kimchi one. As we say in Hawaii "broke da mouth". Just order online or be ready to be overwhelmed on the touch screen when you walk in. Will be back for sure. As an aside. Wife had the salmon poke bowl. She loved it. And just learned this: Apparently in the Kanto (Eastern Japan) area they are called o-musubi and in the Kansai (Western Japan) area they are called o-nigiri. I get em now, bah.

I'm reviewing Ichiko based on my two go-to items: the poke bowl and sushi. Let me start by saying this feels like I'm giving away one of my favorite hidden gems in the area. Ichiko's poke bowls are simply outstanding--perfect portion sizes, great prices, and incredible flavor. The fish is consistently fresh, and the veggie selection is unmatched. No extra charge for avocado and no restrictions on how many veggies you can choose, which is a huge plus for me. **Poke Overall Rating**: 8.1/10 Hands down, this is my top spot for poke in the area. Over the past six months, I've also tried several sushi rolls here: - **Black Jack Roll**: 7.8/10 - **Honey Bunny Roll**: 7.6/10 - **Crystal Roll**: 7.6/10 - **Pink Lady Roll**: 7.2/10 - **Spicy Girl Roll**: 7.4/10 - **Alhambra Roll**: 7.1/10 - **OMG Roll**: 7.3/10 When it comes to sushi, Ichiko is one of my top two spots. It's a standout in Contra Costa County and definitely one of the better options around. The convenience of online ordering makes it even better. **Sushi Overall Rating**: 7.3/10 While I enjoy the sushi here, it's the poke bowl that makes Ichiko a must-visit.

The new sushi spot in town -- we had to give it a try. First impression: the presentation is top-notch. Excellent quality and just the cutest little roll-packages I've ever seen. Their boxes put other sushi places to shame, for most the takeout is just a roll sadly tossed into a clear plastic box... but not here. Fish was great, flavors on the rolls were excellent and the fish portions are very generous. They even threw in a bonus hand-roll! I'll be coming back here for sure, this is a great addition to Martinez. I was skeptical that their sushi would be good given that this really looks more like a poke-bar place, but I was totally wrong! Now I have to try their poke...

So glad to have found this place! My friend and I were craving sushi and this happened to be in the area so we checked it out. The inside is clean and well kept with a good amount of seating options. Ordering can be done via employee or ordering kiosk. The menu offers a variety of options, from sushi rolls to onigiri to poke to boba drinks. You're never short of choices! I ordered the crystal roll, unagi onigiri, and salmon onigiri. The crystal roll was delicious--very saucy and a nice combo of flavors. The onigiris were also very good--a cool twist from the conventional onigiri. I got a crab one and salmon mayo one. Generous sizes, although it can get a little messy. Would come back to try their other stuff!

Super yummy and good quality/ portions for the price! they're still new so i give 5 stars, however i will say the food came out in a weird ish order, my boyfriend and i used the kiosk and he got his food before me by a while, (not a big deal just something to be aware of if ordering at the kiosk.) we sat outside and an employee brought our food out to us which was very nice! the interior is clean and bright the food: i did have to send back my miso soup because it came out cold, but i got a new one no problem. It was a little light on flavor, but good. we ordered several pieces (20) of nigiri , 3 rolls, spam musubi, and the gyoza. The gyoza was delicious, wish they were a little warmer or crispier but still very good. The misubi was fine. The nigiri was fresh and tasty, not mind blowing but still very happy with it. The baja roll was the star of the show for us, spicy, delicious, lots of cilantro and good flavors. Definitely will be back!
