Izakaya Ichiban is a small, busy Japanese restaurant located conveniently next to a hotel. It is a popular spot in Chico for Japanese cuisine, known for its cozy and inviting atmosphere, making it great for a casual meal. The staff are pleasant, friendly, and attentive, providing flawless service that contributes to a positive dining experience. The chefs are skilled, using quality ingredients to create delicious dishes like sushi and Donburi. The kitchen, tables, and chairs maintain a clean environment, enhancing the overall dining experience.
However, some customers have noted inconsistencies with menu items, including overcooked Ramen and occasionally weak or salty miso soup. While the sushi rice was softer than expected, affecting the texture of the rolls, the restaurant has the potential to improve its offerings with slight adjustments to the rice and sauces. Despite these issues, Izakaya Ichiban remains a decent option when other places are booked, especially for those seeking a relaxed place for sushi. With fast and friendly service, it is one of the favorite spots in Chico.
