Vibe: Dreary ambiance kills the mood
The atmosphere at Ichibiri leaves much to be desired, with unattractive decor and unflattering lighting contributing to a dreary vibe. The noise level during peak hours disrupts potential romantic evenings, overshadowing the otherwise entertaining chef performances.
Great Buzz
WOM doesn’t have enough context to give specifics on why the Buzz sway is positively referenced.
Okay Comfort
Bad Aesthetic
Decor and bad lighting make the ambiance almost depressing for guests.
Perks: Service slow and disorganized
While the restaurant can cater to groups with some friendly staff, service speed is painfully slow and reservations seem hit-or-miss. Dining experiences may be incomplete due to staff indifference, especially for those with dietary preferences, overshadowing the kid-friendly environment.
Okay for Kids
Decent food with premium prices for entertaining and engaging cooking.
Bad Staff
