  “Amazing food and service! I phoned a few days in advance to reserve and check if there would be anything vegan on the menu that I could eat with a gluten and soy fiber intolerance. A very big ask! I was expecting onigiri if I was lucky. They very kindly prepared chickpea miso, okonomiyaki and a mushroom dish with plum dressing (made with tamari). The whole experience was fantastic.”

  “Went here with my friends today. The staff were lovely and very patient with us as we decided on what we wanted. Very quick service and delicious food. Some of the stuff was quite expensive but definitely worth it for the amount you get and how well you get treated. Lovely atmosphere inside and out despite being a small building. 100% would go again to try other things on the menu.”

  “Been here a few times and still really like it. The okonomiyaki was excellent, probably my favourite dish this time. The tofu set was really good too, especially with the rice, miso soup and little side dishes. The gyoza were fine, but nothing special compared with the rest of the food. I wasn’t keen on the coffee, but that’s just personal taste. Everything else was great and I’d definitely come back next time I’m in York.”

  “Love this place and been visiting ever since they opened. I always go on my Birthday and other special days and every time I’m in York, I could not recommend Ippuku Tea House enough 5 stars across the board. What a lovely place, fantastic staff and a great menu with perfectly cooked food.”

  “Excellent!✨ It's a small restaurant in York with a very Japanese atmosphere. I tried the matcha green tea and the Teriyaki Chicken set, which was fantastic. I loved the savory and tender chicken, and the side dishes complemented it perfectly, making it a truly enjoyable meal. They also have interesting snacks and ingredients for cooking at reasonable prices. The staff are friendly and provide excellent service. If it gets busy, they let you know immediately. After the meal, I had the lemon cake, which was also delicious and perfect for afternoon tea. Finally, I want to thank the restaurant for their thoughtful preparation and for creating such a wonderful experience.”

  “What an absolute gem of a place. Ate here last night for the first time and we will definitely be returning. The food is fresh, very tasty and great value and the staff are kind and welcoming. Had both of the tofu teishoku which sets plus some edamame and veg gyoza and we were completely stuffed. Both tofu dishes tasted completely different and the accompanying pickles etc were really nice. Sadly didn’t have time or room for a matcha cheesecake.”

  “A must-stop in York for Japanese food lovers like me! Everything feels fresh, homemade, and comforting the moment you walk in. 🥰 I really enjoyed Teriyaki Chicken-mayo Donburi. They also serve other treats that are worth trying, and the portions are generous. The place is cosy, the staff are friendly even when it’s busy. If you’re come to York, this spot is absolutely worth queuing for. A simple, delicious, feel-good stop that makes your day warmer even on a rainy one.✨”

  “A truly fantastic find. I might have to return to York just to return and try more of the menu. Nearly the entire menu is gluten free - which is so hard to find for Japanese food. I foolishly tried to order from the "after 12om" lunch menu closer to half 10. Despite this, they still made me lunchtime onigiri with jusit a bit more wait time, and they were worth the wait.”

  “We visited Ippuku on a weekday afternoon. We ordered two gyudon donburi, two miso soup, one yame-gyokuro green tea, apple juice and a matcha roll cake. Every single item was delicious, fresh and authentic. The tea house had a really warm, calming atmosphere and due to the time of our visit it was a bit quiet; definitely a good time to go if you like a chilled and friendly vibe and great for a solo visit. The service was excellent as well, the workers were very friendly and greeted whoever walked into the business. I also noticed that one worker was especially kind and interacting with 2 kids and a woman who were eating here. Super sweet and welcoming. Definitely recommend.”

  “Great food, friendly staff. Good vegan and veggie options. A little pricey and it took a while for the server to take our order since it was somewhat busy but a really nice place to have breakfast or lunch, some nice teas, and Japanese pastries.”
