Ichiban Japanese & Korean is a cozy and clean restaurant located in the Hartford area. The food tastes homemade, and the portions are typically large. The Korean cuisine is highly seasoned and diverse, with standout dishes like the spicy stir-fry options. On the Japanese side, the tempura is light and crisp, while the udon dishes are hearty. The sushi is fresh and high-quality, with occasional creative interpretations by the owner. The staff is friendly, welcoming, and provides quick and efficient service. The banchan (side dishes) are homemade and add to the overall experience. Parking is convenient with off-street options next to and behind the building. Many customers appreciate the delicious food, good value, and the laid-back atmosphere. The bento boxes offer a great way to sample different dishes like glass noodles, gyoza, a roll, and seaweed and squid salad alongside the main entree. Take-out is popular and consistently satisfying, with some recommending dishes like takoyaki and rolls. The restaurant now does less table preparation after CoVid, and prices have increased to cover fresh fish for varied guests. Customers are encouraged to ask questions or return if they find any dishes that don’t suit their taste, helping them discover the best options for future visits. Whether dining in or ordering take-out, Ichiban Japanese & Korean provides a delicious and satisfying experience for those seeking Asian comfort food.
