hey guys. here's another restaurant review. this time a japanese restaurant in japantown in san francisco. was in the city for the annual chinese new year parade. pretty cool but my friends and i left after seeing my college marching band march pass haha. anyways onto the review:
situated in the heart of japantown, iroha sits on top of another restaurant, serving up ramen, sushi, and other japanese favorites. there are also a few lunch specials to choose from.
food: 4. the sushi roll we ordered was delicious. i ordered a katsu (deep fried prok cutlet) curry, while my friends both ordered ramen bowls. my curry was good but nothing beyond that. i also tried my friends ramen which was as equally passable as my curry.
ambiance: 4. pretty good. since the restaurant was situated on the second floor, customers can be treated to nice views of japantown and watch people pass by. unfortunately we weren't given a seat by the window. but the dining area was clean and well kept.
service: 2. bad, though i think they were short staffed. still they took almost forever to get our order, the waitress got my friend's order wrong (he ordered ramen with no green onions but it came with green onions even though the waitress WROTE IT DOWN!), we were left waiting for drinks, and we were handed our utensils without setting them. my friend said she came with a friend a year ago and it was perfectly fine. what happened in that span of time???
price: $$. seriously, not worth it. that's all i'm going to say.
final score: 3. the food is good, but because of the service and price, i don't think i'll be coming back. plus there are many other places to go in japantown (such as tanpopo, which is right next door, and has far better ramen for a far better price), so you really aren't missing much.
enjoy,
mike
