ENTRÉE FLAVORS:
Teriyaki chicken is
one of Ike's excellent
entree choices.
to discover, was that the flavors are the same. Ike's
Kitchen truly offers authentic Japanese cuisine.
When my family eats at Ike's, they go straight
for the ramen. Ike's offers three styles of ramen, all
filled with complementing protein and vegetable
combinations. Customers can also make their own
ramen bowl, if they like. I've not ventured into building
my own ramen bowl yet. For now, I'm enjoying Ike's
combinations, the tonkotsu in particular.
ABOVE: Even Ike's location and menu board are classic
Japan: small, cheery and full of welcoming spirit.

SEPTEMBER/OCTOBER 2019
We also enjoy the yakisoba: pan fried noodles
with vegetables. I add either chicken or steak
with mine. My husband likes his with shrimp.
And then there is donburi, or Japanese rice bowls.
Ike's most popular donburi is katsudon: breaded
and deep-fried pork belly (called 'tonkatsu'),
egg and onion served with donburi sauce atop
the rice. I like katsudon, but I also enjoy Ike's
butadon, the grilled marinated pork version with
onions and cabbage.
Finally, we never leave Ike's without an order
of curry. Japanese curry is more mild than Thai
curry. It's also a staple of the Japanese diet. Ike's
curry is especially creamy. Skye contributes this
to the amount of time they let it simmer, giving
it a rich, creamy flavor.
And of course, no meal is complete at Ike's
Kitchen without some gyoza: pork and chicken
dumplings.
Skye says they were surprised at how busy
they've been from the beginning; especially since
they've done no formal advertising. Skye credits
the high quality of ingredients they insist upon,
and his father's mastery in food prep. He also
credits Roanokers for their appreciation of Ike's
Kitchen's commitment to true Japanese dishes.
"We aren't trying to be a conglomeration of
other things," says Skye. "We're just trying to
offer an authentic taste of Japan in Roanoke." I
