The fried rice was not well done teriyaki chicken and filet Mignon were over cooked. The proportions very small compared to a normal sushi house. We were the only ones in there so no good vibe. It was very clean though

We visited Ichiban tonight with a party of 12 and were quite surprised to find ourselves the only table in the restaurant on a Saturday night. While we truly appreciate that they were able to accommodate our son’s dairy allergy — which is very important to us — the overall experience left much to be desired, especially in terms of transparency and service.
From the start, we felt nickel-and-dimed throughout the evening. My wife drinks alkaline water and was told there would be a charge for it — not something we typically expect, but we agreed to it without making a fuss. Then a friend ordered a main entrée to share with her young kids and was surprised to find a “sharing fee” added to the bill.
It’s also worth noting that items like fried rice, which are typically included or at least offered clearly as upgrades at many restaurants, were all upcharged without any upfront disclosure. These small charges add up quickly, and it would have been nice to know in advance.
To top it off, an automatic gratuity was added to the bill — despite the fact that the service throughout the evening was subpar. It felt like we were being charged premium prices without receiving premium service.
That said, we do want to give credit where it’s due: the chef was fantastic, and the food itself wasn’t bad at all. But great food can only go so far when the dining experience leaves a bitter aftertaste.

There was only one guy here but he was the goat. Never met a guy who handled being the only one as well as him. He was quick and effective, but still made a good show. Top tier server.

Literally the softest steak i’ve ever had and their fried rice has such a uniquely delicious flavor! I loved everything I ate and the service was amazing! Everyone was so attentive and the chef made sure everyone had fun.

Ordered fried rice and golden sauce that was great but the sushi was garbage. Lady there charged me for soy sauce which is bizarre to me.

This place will nickle and dime you. For four people one had soup, one noodles and 2 hibachi meals just basic. Over $150 there was a $24 service fee and they don’t offer white rice. Everything is extra charge and each water was $2.00 because they only have bottled. The employee tried to tell us that in the whole state of Illinois no hibachi restaurants can serve white steamed rice. Bullshit she thought we were tourists however we have lived in Illinois before. Super not impressed don’t waste your time or money.
Immediately met with disrespectful behavior from the moment we came inside to be sat down. Managers had the worst behavior I’ve ever seen towards customers and also made rude comments during the time we were eating. Because of the disrespect we decided to pay and not tip. Then they started pressing us for a tip even with all disrespectful behavior throughout our time there. Started yelling and cursing at us as we were leaving. Would not recommend. The atmosphere was off the second we entered the building. It felt tense and uneasy. Not kid-friendly
