Nice atmosphere. Ate at bar. Service was good. House Malbec acidic! Fried calamari was mediocre at best. California clearly roll not made to order. Roll had roe on it. Never had that put on California roll. ? I will not return or recommend…

If you came for the food, they are a stingy with the fish, I paid $85.00 for a mediocre meal. Service was good but comparatively, they are cheap on the fish compared to others. Sushi roll selection was okay but the heavy use of Imitation crab is a turn off. Can't recommend unless you don't have another choice nearby.

Food was mediocre and pricy for what it was. Somehow Florida can't seem to get sushi right despite being so close to water. However the main reason for my review is the fried rice I ordered. Before taking a bite I smelled a bit of an odor and after taking my first bite I spat the food out which I've never done before. The eggs were completely burnt and so were some of the meat and vegetables... Overcooked and vapid, the dish should not ever be served and I cannot believe this place has the audacity to charge $19 for it. On top of that, I got food poisoning after. It's more difficult to mess up a fried rice than to make a good fried rice... Guess I'll stop being lazy and stick to making my own fried rice.

Sadly Ichiban is not what it used to be from many many years ago. Drinks aren’t that good from behind the bar and wait staff are dressed unprofessionally. We’ll never return.

One of the best rolls and gyoza I've ever had. Service was impeccable. Loved the environment. Families, singles, couples. Positive active yet relaxing vibe.

This was my first time visiting this sushi place. The first thing that stood out to me was how friendly and polite the staff were. Our waitress was awesome and did a great job making sure that our cups were never empty. The sushi at this place, while pricey, is actually some of the best that I have ever had. I ordered the tuna sushi and was surprised that they actually put whole chunks of fresh meat into the roll rather than the chopped up stuff I usually see at other restaurants. I highly recommend the spicy tuna roll as it was phenomenal. The miso soup was also very flavorful and had a deep smoky flavor with bits of tofu and the scallion garnish really brought it all together.My wife ordered some kind of tofu noodle dish but I didn't find it nearly as good as their sushi. My daughter ordered the pork cutlet dish over noodles and it was pretty tasty overall. Everything was fresh however, I much preferred the sushi here more than the other entrees.If you are wanting to try high-quality sushi, I strongly recommend Ichiban Sushi. They are a bit more than the average sushi place but then again, Ichiban isn't serving average sushi.

Food was excellent (sushi and onion soup), as was the tea (came with lemon and honey). Our server was very good - in general service was just understaffed a bit, so fairly slow. If I was just rating the individual server it would be five stars.
