Ipfu Japanese Restaurant in York

Fantastic food and service. Attentive and friendly staff. Great decor and vibe.

I would recommend Udon ramen with white soup as the soup is perfect & the pork was really melting in your mouth. It was so delicious. We will definitely go back again for Ramen noodle. We did order a lots of Sushi as I have high expectations for the taste according to other people put on a review BUT on my point of view it was not much taste as I’m looking for and we are a big fan of Sushi family and we love trying different sushi restaurants when we go to different places.

Food was lovely, staff were very polite and at a very reasonable cost,would go again if I ever find myself in York

Average food. It is not bad but it is not good. Service is also average.

We stumbled across this gem when taking a dodgy turn while walking towards the city centre. What a lucky turn! A pleasant restaurant, good service, amazing food and the lunch menu is really good value for money!

probably the best japanese in york

Great food. Had the sushi platter and it was a great selection - the rice and fish quality were top. Will be coming back again!

Friendly, attentive and speedy service. The food is delicious and generous portions. We had the gyoza, spicy duck roll, tamago nigiri, beef fried udon, salmon & tuna sashimi don and tonkatsu don and everything was delicious.

Lovely food. We had sushi, panto crab, beef, teriyaki chicken, tempura ice cream! Nice decor and the staff were really nice.

Really delicious Japanese food. Generous portions, and a great range of dishes. Welcoming and attentive service.

This was our favourite place we had been to in York. Was so lovely, the food was amazing, I would eat there so often had I resided in town, we even ordered more to go after eating. The staff were all so nice and friendly and the atmosphere was really nice. Really nice selection of food, really nice selection of drinks. We had a lovely time. Many Thanks!

Good value and service with a great selection of tasty food. I had the Salmon Teriyaki Bento box which was delicious

Food was great, service great, definitely be going back

it's happening not a first time . to often they start have problem with delivery

Almost good. I got no fresh fish one time from many times i go.

Recently, I visited Ipfu with my guest from Turkey, and we had an unforgettable experience. Our server, Oven, took great care of us and provided exceptional service throughout our meal. He was very knowledgeable about the menu, and all of his recommendations were spot on. The food was already incredible, but Oven’s attentiveness made the entire experience even better. We’re definitely looking forward to coming back!

Best sushi I’ve had so far, so well prepared.

Really good quality, not cheap for the portions but worth it

Best chicken katsu curry. Very crispy chicken.

First visit today will not be long before we go again. Excellent food and service. Thank you

The staff are helpful and accommodating and the food is excellent. Highly recommend the Spider Roll Futomaki (crab) as it is sensational. Reasonably priced too!

Had a great meal in this restaurant. Had the chicken katsu curry dish which was exquisite. The fried squid starter was also delicious.

Nice characterful interior decor, friendly service, food very tasty - they offer a lunch menu which isn't on their website - price was reasonable. Would recommend as the best Japanese restaurant option in York.

Very pretty restaurant and the food was delicious. We all had different dishes and they were all really good.

The food here is always super fresh and delicious, the restaurant is lovely and the staff very helpful. Me and my partner love coming here for special occasions and it never disappoints! The various ramen options are amazing, the cocktails are incredible and I have already taken my whole family here twice as there are options for everyone to enjoy!

Best place for sushi in York Always amazing service and tasty food

We loved every item we ordered, sushi platter, miso soup, steak, sashimi, rice, edamame, and spring rolls. All items, with the exception of the tempura. It was the only subpar dish due to the batter being dense and heavy, not light and crispy as it should be. The ambience was nice and the menu is huuuuge. There is definitely something for everyone here.

Great service. There is a great variety of food here and they take card. You much try the lycheetine it's amazing ! And there is a fantastic corner shop just next door that sells all-sorts of amazing things.

Extensive menu with so much delicious authentic Japanese food, something to please everyone whether you love meat or vegetables! Friendly service, nice decor and atmosphere.

Me and my family come here often whenever they visit me in Uni. It is the best Japanese restaurant we have gone to! I often buy the small bentos w/ chicken katsu or king prawn tempura and they taste amazing. My family can vouch for the noodles too! Portions are large and the staff are very friendly. Would highly recommend going here if you ever visit York!

Great japanese food, good service by the staff and place is immaculate

What a fab find! Food was incredible. Had a wide choice with a great selection. Great place. Food was fresh and tasty! Definitely recommend.

Said delivered when not , sushi rice perfect but presentation and amount of ingredients ( crab/ tuna ) not reflective of price, seemed like trimmings :(

Amazing sushi and very lovely staff

Excellent! Service, food, decoration, everything was impeccable. I highly recommend!

Excellent food, impeccable restaurant, fast and attentive service! I highly recommend

Delicious Authentic Japanese food highly recommend

Best sushi I’ve had, always come back to York for this restaurant, absolutely unreal

Feels like a Little piece of Tokyo !

Seems quite authentic. Nice food

Very nice and quite place with tasty food, brilliant atmosphere.

Excellent food with attentive and helpful staff, one of the best restaurants in York.

Really good food, really friendly service and nice scenery

Called in on with out booking, very friendly staff. Food is tremendous and excellent value. Didn't try it but the sushi looked amazing!

Ipfu never disappoints. The sushi is really good but affordable and the menu as a whole is always prepared well.

Visited with my partner for the first time and had an amazing dinner, service was fast and proactive, the food was absolutely perfect, and the atmosphere had a nice buzz all through our evening, with fantastic ambience to boot! Definitely will be returning

One of my favourite lunch spots in York! I specifically LOVE the inargi roll and the nigiri is great :)!!!

It’s been the first time I have ever been to I’ll and I personally love it. The menu holds a lot of variety and all 3 of our meals looked gorgeous and from my own experience, mine tasted just as good as it looked. The Restaurant is peaceful and the staff were very polite.

This restaurant has great ambience and I went on Monday, it was almost empty and I dined by myself - there were a couple others came by themselves too. I’m a bit disappointed by the salmon lovers sushi platter, the way it’s presented and for the price I’m paying, I was expecting more salmon. The pickled ginger didn’t taste fresh and salmon is a big fishy. I guess if you’re not really bothered about quality of fish then this place is good, I have to say the whole dining atmosphere was great, they played Japanese pop music in background. I didn’t like the hot sake but maybe because I’m not an alcohol drinker in general.

Delicious food, a good choice on the menu would go back again

I have never had "ramen" which means hand pulled noodle tasted no different than pot noodle. The broth is artificial and toppings come directly out of bulk buy pack. The sushi is also of subpar quality. For the prices they charge, it's to be avoided.

Beautiful looking food and very delicious. Friendly delivery man and found me with no problems. Would definitely come back :)

Excellent service. Excellent suchis, makis and sachimi.

I went to the restaurant, the moment I opened the door, the server asked me, "What's your order number?" she thought I'm delivery guy, Not sure why she thought I was a delivery guy, so is this restaurant welcome everyone or only selected people?

Very good food and excellent service. Expensive though.

I have to say this is my FAVOURITE restaurant. I travel from far just to come here. I love that the food is FRESH. I love this place.

Best Japanese dishes you can find in York

Really lovely staff good food and well priced. Will be back soon.

Only one item delivered from the whole order. What was a special Friday night treat ruined and no understanding or mitigation from the restaurant: ‘just claim a refund from Just Eat’

I order chicken noodles but in my opinion I wasn't a CHICKEN

10 Feb 2024 update - still the best Japanese in the local area for me. Last night was the first time we've visited on an evening and the atmosphere was wonderful. The staff are wonderfully friendly and food cooked fresh, so be prepared to spend a bit of time here and relax, rather than rushing in and out. It can sometimes take a bit of time to be served and you might wait a while without a drink, but when you see the staff chatting at tables, the attention to detail that goes into each dish and the reasonable prices, it's perfectly understandable). ---- Fabulous Japanese restaurant in York.

Not real Japanese food! They used over cooked Chinese noodles (you don’t even need to chew) , and the soup was way too salty, and I can tasted they put a lot of MSG. And again, why the restaurants in UK always severed people the green pepper, red pepper broccoli tempura?? There is no such thing in Japan! We never make green pepper, red pepper broccoli as tempura! If you see these things served in “Japanese”restaurants in UK, you know you won’t have real Japanese food.

Went for my friends birthday and everything was perfect! The food was amazing, nice big portions, really good value for money. The menu is extensive so there’s something for everyone. The service was brilliant - the waiters and waitresses were lovely, friendly and accommodating and really made the night special. Great atmosphere and beautiful restaurant too. I’ll definitely be returning and would highly recommend it!

Very expensive for the quality of the food. Arrived late and cold. Spring rolls were tiny and very soggy, no flavour to them. Sushi was the same as buying from a supermarket. Nothing special and too expensive for what it is.

Great place, lovely atmosphere and excellent service. Definitely recommend.

My all time favourite place to eat Japanese cuisine in York! Would definitely recommend

Excellent food!!! The best Japanese restaurant in York. Service is amazing, food is fabulous!!

It felt so genuinely Japanese! From the brown interior, lanterns and chefs behind food stations, to the food. Good selection of sushi, noodle dishes, spare ribs, and seasonal deals. Nice tea and stronger drinks, and super friendly service.

Good food. The octopus balls were brilliant tonight, thank you!

no just eat drivers but they still managed to get the order out to me warm using their own private drivers. first rate service highly recommend them

Nice food, nice staff. A bit pricey but tasty.

Excellent food, friendly staff.

Very good food! Super friendly and helpful staff! Great ambiance and extensive menu! Will definitely come back for a 2nd time and try other food!!

Very tasty food, good atmosphere, and good service.

Fantastic meal and excellent choice.

Amazing food and service. Honest people working there

Arrived over an hour late stone cold. Seaweed was nice. Had to reheat the rest.

Amazing and authentic. Go!!! Fabulous sushi, sashimi and ramen.

The seafood kaiseki is piping hot until the end, spicy and flavorful, and very delicious. The sashimi rice is a bit ordinary. The sushi rolls are good, kids love them

Wandered in here by accident, we were looking for a quick meal before a show and we were served fast by friendly staff, the food was delicious (as was the bubble tea) and the vibe was really nice. Great veggie options and extremely reasonable prices. Would come back if in York again!

The food was more than 2 and a half hours late. We received no notification from Just eat all evening. In the end we had to ring up the restaurant who confirmed that they had sent it out for delivery hours before hand. The poor restaurant had to remake the whole meal and deliver it to us themselves. Just Eat have provided no option to request a refund and the restaurant has confirmed they will lodge a complaint.

We were delivered someone’s else’s order

Such delicious sushi. It’s consistently fresh and just really well done. A fan favourite in this family.

Couldnt find a driver for me so i was waiting ages to finally get assigned a driver an hour and a half later

Really impressed - good food, huge portions and arrived piping hot.

Fantastic food! I’ll be ordering again VERY soon!

Awesome as always! One of my fav places to go

Ordered a big meal for six people. We tried to do it through their website which we would have preferred so they got more money from our order but it says they can now accept any orders over £100? So we had to go to Deliveroo. Everything arrived really fresh, what was meant to be cold was cold and the hot food arrived hot. Really delicious. My only complaint is that the meat/fish sushi was put with the asparagus sushi. The asparagus sushi also had a some salmon stuck to the bottom of it which isn't good when you are vegetarian, this then made us wonder how much cross contamination there was.

Such nice sushi. The rice is so sticky and fresh. Delicious. Everything was nice and hot. I wish I could order Ramen in broth! If that was an option, I’d order every week because I’ve had it in the restaurant and I constantly crave it!

Came to the restaurant based on more good reviews. Like most Japanese restaurants in the western world, they are staffed by non-Japanese Asians so wasn’t looking for or expecting authenticity. Ordered the Salmon Lovers set that was on special, and it was generally good until an unfriendly older man (unsure manager or owner) wanted to charge me extra for another dollop of wasabi. This was unbelievable and told him to cancel it as I saw him enter it in the system which prompted me to ask if he was going to charge me for it. He then asked if I was sure and I did not know how to respond to that.

We are a couple visiting from London and can, hands down, say that this is the best sushi we have had. Better sushi than the high end places in London, knocks spots off of Ivy Asia. A must visit. All of the staff were great too, 5 stars for the whole visit. Will visit again if in York!

My delivery did not arrime? Were it is? No ond callee me

Who knew I had to travel to York from the USA to get the best sushi I've ever eaten. Whole family loved everything we ordered. Large portions. Would eat here again no hesitations.

Food was excellent. Staff were excellent. Highly recomend.

Great place. Nice atmosphere, with friendly staff. Other than delicious warm starters I've always stuck to the sushi, though the hot plates seem tempting. Had the sushi first time around and couldn't resist having it every time since. Huge variety, delicious, favourite restaurant in york

I love this restaurant. Staffs are corteous and the food is really yummy. I will definitely come back

In general Japanese cuisine, salmon is better for sashimi, but others are not too fresh.

Really loved the food and the whole experience

Very good service and impeccable food!!

Ate there with the family. My son and I shared a plate. We both got food poisoning unfortunately.
