Ikko Japanese Steak House

Has anyone in the Dover, NH area had the chance to go to the new restaurant Ikko Japanese Steak House at 879 Central Avenue in Dover? Jim and I had the opportunity to go to their grand opening a couple weeks ago and it was fabulous!  They were serving samples of their appetizers, sushi, and of course, they had a full hibachi dinner with your choice of shrimp, chicken or steak! Oh, and also serving their Mai Tai’s ? Yup! Those too!
They had so much food coming out so quick I did not have much of a chance to get pictures! But one of everyone’s favorite appetizers was the Chicken Maki Roll, this was delicious! Everyone at our table raved about it.  It was an absolute favorite! The Chicken Maki Roll is deep fried with cream cheese, carrots, crab and asparagus served with a sweet chili sauce…..so good, I just can’t tell you! This dish alone brought us back less than one week later! Just that good! We also had the shrimp tempura. This had a light crispy coating and was also deep fried and as you can guess…these were terrific too.  Oh yes, I almost forgot, we had a steamed dumpling too!!
Jim sampled some of the sushi but he ate is so fast I have no idea what he had I just know it was very tasty and gone in an instant!!
Next was the hibachi dinner. All of the dinners come with Japanese onion soup, salad, your choice of rice or noodles and your choice of protein ! The protein choices are endless! They have shrimp, chicken, steak, lobster and scallops to just name a few! I had the chicken and Jim had the steak! Everything that we ate was mouth watering! So much so we went back just a couple days later!!  Not only was the food amazing the service on nights we went was incredible.  We were seated right away, drinks on the table and order taken just as fast! Our appetizer came right out along with our soups and salads and no sooner were we done with the appetizer, our empty plates were taken away and our dinner was served!
If you can’t guess by now we LOVED Ikko and highly recommend a visit if you’re in the area!

Enjoy!
