Ichiban Japanese & Korean

The summer lunch special, Hwe-deopbap (Korean sashimi rice bowl), is absolutely delicious. It's the best!

Always solid 💯.

food is bland everything taste the same sweet salty spicy. Not going bk again overrated charge you alot

This specific restaurant is probably my go to korean restaurant. This place has one the most top notch service, with plenty of side dishes and a kind waiter. Their food prices are reasonable and very nice. My only fault is the sushi is a bit semi fresh, however this is understandable for the location. This restaurant is fantastic!

An excellent Japanese / Korean combo when in Hartford! The food is always fresh and delicious and we enjoy the complimentary banchan they bring before the main course.

This place was a random pit-stop for us, as we were heading back from UCONN to Norwalk and it was one of the best culinary surprises.
It's a business with very well mannered staff; our waiter was very friendly, he didn't mind answering my questions about the little sides they served us before our food came out and he was polite the entire time.
The food was excellent!!! We had mussles, served in a light broth, heated in a chafer dish with a small burner, edamame salted just the right way, Seafood Udon Stir Fry and Eel Sushi (accompanied by additional complimentary avocado roll).
The nonalcoholic beer tasted good and my kiddo loved her Japanese soda (Ramune).
If I'm in the area again, I will make sure to stop by and try other dishes from the menu.

Went around 5 pm on Saturday, they weren't busy at that time. Really enjoyed Sushi and Sashimi. Got two specials soup dishes and they took the time to get one customized correctly. The other one they got completely WRONG. I didn't notice the mistake until I had eaten some of the soup, I did question why it didn't taste as expected. They did not do anything to remedy the situation. This unfortunately sour my experience. My wife really enjoyed hers. Consequently the middle of the road review (three stars).

Went back at lunch Thursday at 1 PM. Their small parking lot was full. Fortunately street parking was available. Ordered from lunch specials. Meal was quick and flavorful. Came with small dishes for appetizers. I ordered the kimchi and pork stew, wife order white fish stew. Good portions.

Amazing Korean and Japanese restaurant -- genuine, fresh, and delicious! If you want good quality and nice selection of Korean and Japanese dishes -- Ichiban is the perfect spot. It's a regular favorite of my partner and mine in the area!
