Ichiban Japanese Grill & Sushi

1st time here today 3-18-26. Eel was good and definitely can taste the sweetness in it. First time eating Eel. Not a fan of rice. Shrimp was good if rice wasn't with it.

My first time here and it was an okay experience. I got the teriyaki chicken with fried rice. To be honest, I was a little disappointed. It's not what it's hyped up to be in the other reviews. Chicken is basic and rice was dry. I also got the Sweetie rolls which I really liked. The Ichiban rolls were good as well. The California rolls were pretty plain and weren't my favorite. The best part of the meal was the Crab Ragoons. I really liked those. This place is fine for Freeport. I've been spoiled by Marc's Fusion in Rockford which has phenomenal sushi and the best chicken fried rice I've ever had. This place pales in comparison, but is still a decent place to get takeout in Freeport.

Always enjoy eating here over the last several years!! If you don’t know what to get, try the crab fried rice and Ryan Roll- 2 of my favorites!! Everything I’ve tried is so good. Definitely pay them a visit!

Gas station quality.

Sashimi was frozen in the middle, portions were small, rice on both sushi rolls and plates tasted either old or undercooked. Sauce tasted like plastic and the chicken was hard. Either way it was not done well. I gave 3 stars simply because its the only option in freeport and close to me.
Far too over priced for the quality and content. Your better off DIYing your own.

Food is good but it’d be nice when ordering on doordash you list what’s fried in peanut oil my husband nearly had a terrible allergic reaction for your carelessness

This place has gone severely down hill over the last couple of years. After COVID they decided to close the dining area and never reopened it so its take out only. The sushi used to be decent at least. My last stop here however will be my last visit. The sushi was poorly slapped together, and falling apart. Taste was off, had a burned piece of something in the middle of my roll which I spit out. Hardly any Wasabi or ginger to go with the sushi. This used to be my place to go if I wanted to pick up sushi quickly. I'll be looking for a new place now. They have lost my confidence as a customer and as a result my business as well.

Great Sushi!!
I absolutely recommend this place if you want good sushi!!
Unfortunately, I've only had minimal hot dishes here do to not being very impressed compared to to other places.
The owner and staff have always been nice and efficient on time and my orders as well!
And just a heads up, it is only carry-out unfortunately!

Good enough option closer to home than other options! We’ve been here very often without issue over the years!

Take out only...apparently it's been this way since covid. How about you update your information so customers don't waste their time coming to eat and finding this out when they get there.

Ichiban is a must-visit for anyone craving Chinese food. Their teriyaki chicken and crab rangoons are always tasty and are my personal favorites. With great customer service and very affordable prices, it's easily the best spot. You won't be disappointed!

The sushi is good for the price, which is very reasonable. About $5-6 for the standard rolls and maybe 9-10 for the fancy ones. The ‘box’ meals are a waste, in my opinion. Small salad (just lettuce), a big pile of plain rice, with a few pieces of whatever meat you ordered on top. Not much flavor in any of it. Crab rangoon’s were alright. Take out-only. Go to the door on the side of the building and stand in the very small breezeway to pick up your food.
