Itoko
8.8
Opened in 2023, Itoko is a Michelin-recognized Southport Corridor Japanese restaurant from chef Gene Kato where a focused Tantan Ramen lives alongside sushi, robata, and seasonal small plates. The room is sleek and buzzy rather than hushed, so ramen here reads as part of a polished Japanese dinner instead of a quick noodle stop.
Must-Try Dishes:
Tantan Ramen, Salmon robata, Whole Branzino
What Makes it Special: Michelin-recognized Southport Japanese restaurant where refined ramen shares space with sushi and robata.
