“My first visit here. My Daughter had the salmon salad And I had the beef sandwich with fries. my daughter said that’s the best salmon she ever had. I had to try it got a piece from my daughter and it was delicious.. my sandwich was medium rare just how I like it. Very humble people love the location and atmosphere. People tend to forget this is not a fast food restaurant. I read other comments that it took forever to get your food. Don’t expect a McDonald’s service expect a five star restaurant.. The best thing to do if you’re in a hurry or a crunch of time order ahead. But I like to enjoy my food and take my time because life is too short. I’m in no hurry.. I will visit this place again and again. Whenever I’m in town thank you keep up with the delicious food and courtesy to customers.. 5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“This little oasis nestled in the heart of Downtown Chula Vista is a tropical paradise. Friendly staff, who are welcoming, kind, personable, and know their menu. The beautiful atmosphere with music ideal for enjoying your evening. Loud enough to hear, but quiet enough to make talking with friends easy.The drinks are inspired tropical tastes of the islands. The scorpion bowl is heaven in a large cup and perfect for sharing.The fish and chips are my new favorite fish and chips. Fish and fries both heavenly seasoned and fried.“

“This place is dope!! After a phenomenal dinner experience, it’s earned our favorite sushi spot in Chula Vista.Happy hour Monday through Wednesday is all day. Lucky us, we had dinner on a Wednesday night here.Immediately loved the vibes.Drinks were great. I loved the mango martini with chili. Our food was just as good. Lemon cilantro roll was the perfect amount of fresh fish, lemon and yummy goodness. The crunchy roll wasn’t bad either! I loved how fresh the shrimp tempura is. We also loved the seared tuna nigiri on the HH menu. It was super spicy and had a smoky kick. We loved it!We were most surprised at the top tier service. All the employees were kind. Everyone greeted us when we got there and when we left. Our food came out soooo fast! I couldn’t believe it. All of our rolls were ready within 5 minutes of ordering it. Insane! Shout out to our server Nika. She recommended the spicy ponzu sauce and I loved it so much.The restaurant is almost like a club. If it’s your birthday, there’s a mini show with cow bells, a happy birthday sign, lights and all.“

“Absolutely one of the best Sushi experiences of my life in 30 years of eating sushi . You have to try the vero roll if you like lemon and citrus tastes. The service was top notch...if you have the pleasure of getting Veronica you are in for a treat. She's friendly, positive and loves helping customers improve their dining experience. She also knows the menu and combinations well.“

“Although it's a bit far from where I live, I definitely think Ichiban Sando (and its hidden business partner Hako Sushi Box), is worth the drive every now and again! - PARKING - There are some spaces in the lots left and right of the building - just beware of any specific spaces reserved for other businesses! - SERVICE/ENVIRONMENT - The inside isn't too big, maybe enough space to fit 20 people comfortably! They have large menus so it's easy to read everything. After ordering, it took around 10-15 minutes to get our food. Really nice staff here, super friendly and welcoming! - FOOD/DRINK - Vietnamese Coffee ($4.50): Super strong in coffee flavor, just the way it should be! Thai Tea ($4.00): Also a great depth of flavor from the Thai Tea - they also mentioned it wasn't made with real milk for those lactose intolerant! Shrimp Katsu Sando ($11.50): So crispy and so flavorful!!! The Katsu was well fried, and the sauces in the sandwich were delicious! Loved their milk bread too! Fruit Sando (8.50): The fruit is so fresh and the cream has just the perfect amount of sweetness! The milk bread again is so soft!! Sugoi Medium Box - You Pick ($70.00): You get to pick 4 special rolls, either 10pc nigiri or sashimi, and one side! So many amazing rolls to choose from - it was hard to decide! We got the Dragon Roll, Rainbow Roll, Hako Special Roll, and the Salmon Lava Roll. Everything was so fresh and delicious!!!! - OVERALL - An amazing spot that more people should try out! Come for their sandos and their sushi boxes!“

“The food is great! I love the ramen, the best ever!! Employees are very friendly. However, they lack customer service because they never answer the phone to place an order. They have also taken a while to make my orders in the past or they missed it and started doing it once I had arrived and I had placed the order online. But other than that, I love their food. I just wish they would be more attentive when it comes to phone calls. And not much parking.“
