Ichirin

Visited this cute little Japanese spot last weekend for lunch with the family.
Started off with a couple of entrees which we shared — Assorted Sashimi (King fish, Salmon, Octopus & Scallops) and Assorted Tempura (3x prawns, fish, various veggies, bowl of rice and miso soup) which were both good. For our mains, we ordered separate dishes, but I got to try a little taste of everyones! Here are my thoughts for each dish:
Eel Don — Grilled eel, served on a bed of rice & kinshi egg. I actually wished I got this because it was so good. A decent serving of eel, tender and saucy. I’m definitely coming back to have this all to myself!
Teriyaki Salmon — Grilled Tasmanian Salmon with salad and teriyaki sauce (includes rice & miso soup). Salmon was tender and cooked just right. The flavour for this was quite different to normal teriyaki salmon. Very enjoyable!
Ichirin Bento Box — 4 pcs nigiri, 6 pcs uramaki roll, sweet egg omelette, potato salad, kara-​age chicken, miso soup and salad. This was my meal and to be honest, I wished I didn’t overeat on the entrees! It’s a pretty decent serving and I had to share it around. I enjoyed the salmon and king fish nigiri, uramaki rolls and kara-​age chicken the best.
Gyoza — these were off-​the-​menu. Not a huge fan of gyozas normally, but these were super tasty. Light and not very oily.
I was sad I couldn’t try dessert as I was way too full but will give me a good reason to come back again soon!
Just a tip, make sure you call up to book for a table if you have more than 2 people. They have bar seating available to maximise seating and can cater for 2 – 3 group tables but this place is tiny, so to not arrive disappointed, make sure you book!
