Ikkyu

Food was decent for the price. Everything you would expect from a Lotte food court Japanese stall. The katsu was crispy and not too dry. The curry had a little to much veggies in it for my taste, but could just be her take on the curry. Udon was standard with it being a little better then the frozen ones you get at home. But for the price this is a good deal. I will come back if I am in the area. Lady working the counter was kurt and efficient. The seating was plenty and packed with older Koreans during the lunch hour. So you know the food around here was going to be legit. Place was clean, bathroom was hard to find.

I'd give them 3.5 stars! Decent katsu and udon for a reasonable price! A tonkatsu place inside Lotte market / food court. Ordered katsu set and was very satisfied with the portion and taste. Katsu is on the thinner side (wish it were thicker) but it was fried well and sauce was great. Udon soup was flavorful, though noodle could've been better (a little mush). Regardless, I was happy with my order! Order came out super fast too.

Ikkyu is inside Lotte's food court and is my favorite choice out of the 4 restaurants inside! Tonkatsu 10/10- crispy, lots of sauce- comes with rice, pasta salad with cucumbers, a side salad, pickled yellow radish, and a small bowl of miso soup - they used to also give kimchi but I guess they updated the menu Once you order, they'll call your order name/number on the intercom once it's finished. Service is relatively quick!

So here I am 5 years later picking the same dish from the same vendor and the sauce is a bit better than I recall. I should have checked my last review.

It was good! Good in a home cooked meal kind of way!To me, this isn't worth 15$. The pork was flavorless and overcooked. But the rice and curry were a 6/10 and the pasta salad was probably my favorite part of the meal.The women working were nice. The cafeteria serves as a place to eat but is quite desolate. You could take it home but it costs an extra $1 which I don't blame them for.

Tonkatsu, udon, gyudon, and chicken teriyaki are long time faves. Have been coming here since I was a child, over 15 years. Food is always excellent for great value.

We have been eyeing this place for a long time since it is inside a Lotte supermarket. This is a food stall that is located inside the food court of Lotte. The meal we had were pretty enjoyable. Surprisingly, the complimentary crab salad is good and flavorful. The pork katsu we got were definitely on the saucier side and very flavorful. The beef bowl was yummy as well although it visually looked dry, it actually wasn't. The udon was okay, there wasn't anything mention worthy. It was typical udon with minimal toppings, but the broth was still flavorful. Since this is in a good court, it is self serve. They just give you your tray of food and you find seating within the food court. There are water dispenser by each food stall there in which you can get hot/cold water from. You just have to return the tray to the stalls that you ordered from though.

I would say this is the best restaurant out of those in the Lotte food court. I have tried dishes at the other ones and have been disappointed, but I have always left feeling satisfied after ordering from Ikkyu. I think my favorites here are the #13 (tonkatsu) and #4 (udon noodles in a hot stone pot). The udon noodles come with an egg, tofu, shrimp tempura, fish cake and assortment of veggies. It's definitely a lot of food. The only reason why I give it 4 stars instead of 5, is the side dishes that come with the tonkatsu are very inconsistent. Sometimes the kimchi tastes gross, whereas other times it's on point. Same with the miso soup; sometimes it literally tastes like warm water. Nonetheless, the main entrees have always been consistently yummy.

I've been going here since I was a child and their food is great. There are four different food places that you can choose from in the Lotte Plaza and Ikkyu's Tonkatsu is my favorite! It comes with a side of this pasta salad and it's so good. It pairs really well with the tonkatsu itself. It also comes with a side of pickled radish. Their food court has a lot of tables and seating and each food court offers water cups for their customers! They'll take your order then call it out whenever it's ready. I love the atmosphere of the food court, it almost makes me feel like i'm in Korea.

I am surprised to taste the perfect shrimp and vegetable tempura as well as Tonkatsu, fried pork cutlet at this modest food stall in Lotte. The dipping sauce for tempura is a perfect harmony of slightly savory and sweet flavors. The crunchiness in both dishes are just right.
