Ichiban Teppanyaki & Sushi

We ordered a chicken hibachi. The fried rice and gyoza was good. But, the chicken in Hibachi was overcooked and felt like we were eating some chewy dry stuff. Definitely not worth the price point. We felt grabbing a burrito bowl from chipotle was much worth it with a better quality of food.

I had a nice time at this restaurant because the staff was very friendly and kind but the food we had wasn’t anything I’d go back for.

Starting with the water, it had a weird tang to it, kind of like sink water. The calamari tempura also wasn’t flavorful or very crunchy. I had the shrimp Teppanyaki and my husband have the chicken. My shrimp was over cooked and didn’t have much flavor and he said his chicken tasted rubbery. The chicken fried rice ($4 more each) also didn’t have much flavor and I had to add their ginger and Sriracha sauce to eat it. $100 for 2 people definitely wasn’t worth it. The people next to me had the lobster and said it was delicious, so not sure if it just wasn’t the place for us.

Food tasted average, a bit bland. The floor was a little dirty. I thought it was a little pricy compared to some tepenyaki in Fresno that I've been to. But our chef (Juan?) was excellent!

Negative stars. Horrible horrible horrible. The food was terrible, flavorless, the salads brown, the service barely there. And to boot, under full blown construction and didn't care. Then had the nerve to still charge a 15% gratuity!!!

The steak was not what I was hoping for. The shrimp was not done, and the fried rice was pland. The service and show from the chef were great.

I’m writing this review as a warning to others about dining at Ichiban in Manteca. While I understand that California’s business climate and inflation make it hard for restaurants, the service charge policy is extremely off-putting. Yes, there is adequate signage posted, which I can confirm, but that doesn’t make this practice any more acceptable. It feels like a forced tip, and it’s not something I can support.

As for the food, it was generally good. I had the filet mignon roll, which was okay, though I wish I had asked for the filet to be cooked more. The spicy salmon, spicy tuna, and Philly rolls were all what you’d expect—nothing extraordinary, but solid. However, despite the decent food, the service charge is a deal-breaker for me, and I won’t be returning. Consider this a heads-up if you value the freedom to tip based on service.

Me and my girl got the Filet Mignon and Lobster tail. It was really good, but the Lobster was a bit overcooked. Still a 5/5 for quality and presentation.

As I've said before, the food is always amazing here. I had the SeaWorld combo, my son had the tuna, wife had chicken and shrimp and my daughter had the salmon. It was absolutely delicious. The service has greatly improved since our last vesit. Our server, Thinh was amazing, absolutely on point every second of the evening. We had a lovely time this evening and will definitely be coming back soon.

You can tell they use Low quality meats and sea food. Ordered sushi and they messed up the order and still had the nerve to charge me for it. Definitely not coming back. Not worth it at all.

Been there several times and always great service, food and price is very reasonable. You can cut the Filet mignon with a fork. Shrimp and scallops were cooked perfectly. I highly recommend
