Tea is best enjoyed in nice & quiet and relaxing environment just as it is back in Japan. My family really enjoyed this place very much and it is most certainly much better than what you can get in your typical Japanese restaurant back in Malaysia.- Noise level

i tried the iced houijicha latte and it was really nice with roasted nutty taste but not bitter at all. whilst ordering, the man who worked there was really attentive with the dietary requirements and what we all wanted, even though we had no allergies, which was amazing! definitely coming back!

Me and the other half love this place and holds a special place in our hearts. An authentic slice of Japan that brings a peaceful place to eat in the heart of a busy city. We drive over and hour just for their breakfast and it is always well worth it. Can not recommend enough!

Came here last Saturday as a solo traveller and the staff were really kind and accommodating to me!! They had plenty of recommendations and advice available (that they weren’t upselling to me), they were all very genuine and the food was fantastic!
I especially loved the strawberry cake (make sure to try it if they have it in!). They also had a separate menu full of Japanese alcoholic drinks which I thought was very tasteful and there was lots of choice. They also had lots of cute goodies (stickers, japanese snacks, specialty bowls), so you can linger a little longer.
I would definitely come back again next time I’m in York :)- Meal type

I had an amazing lunch at Ippuku! The staff were super accommodating in helping me navigate my allergies, as well as very welcoming and conversational. Looking forward to visiting again when I next come to York!

Great for celiacs, most of the menu is gluten free and they have a great understanding of the importance due to owner being celiac. Lovely food and friendly staff, would go again next time in york.

Service was excellent, super sweet and attentive. They attached a booster seat safely on the chair for my toddler, and let us park our stroller behind their cashier counter.
Love the decor of the interior and also the beautiful courtyard! We visited twice in 2 days!

Amazing Japanese food in York, we enjoyed trying all the vegan options and particularly good if you are GF as well. The food, staff, ethos, setting and really everything about Ippuku is quite inspiring, we will be back as soon as we are back in York!

We visited Ippuku as part of York's taste trail - this was one of our favourite stops! We had a nice conversation with Om, who was so lovely, warm and welcoming. The free sample of miso soup was so tasty, we had to buy the full thing! There were brilliant vegan options, and we loved the cosy atmosphere. Highly recommended!
