The Japanese Tacos are delicious! They have crab mix, spicy tuna mix or avocado to cost from. Below I went with spicy tuna with avocado added; full stop, YUM. We also had takoyaki, a crunch roll and a shiso fly roll with regular tabiko since I'm not a fan of the wasabi tabiko. They were just ok. I'm not sure if it's the quality of the fish or if it wasn't super fresh, but this is the third time in a row my daughter and I both were like it's just ok sushi....
Ichiban is cute and inviting (much cuter than Sake restaurant). The ramen was fine, as was the beer, sake, and hamachi. The agedashu eggplant was very oily and the miso soup was weak and salty. Service was excellent.
The food was mediocre and lacking for the prices. More than $50 for 2 people to have ramen and 1 sushi plate... the sushi was over salted and the ramen was very mediocre... the atmosphere was awkward and quite. The idea was good but the execution was poor. Also, please wipe the menus, they were so sticky.
