“Whenever I’m in Hamburg, NY I make a point of trying to have my lunch at Ichiban. It is so delicious and reasonably priced and the wait staff are very friendly. I was just there yesterday September 16, 2025 for lunch and it was wonderful. I informed the waitress that I had an appointment and she made sure I received my food promptly. So many great things to choose from, but I love sashimi!!!!! so I always seem to pick that very nice variety on the luncheon menu.“

“Absolutely amazing Japanese restaurant! The sushi is super fresh, especially the misushiro (miso soup) — full of flavor and perfectly balanced. The shrimp dishes are also outstanding — juicy, perfectly cooked, and seasoned just right. The staff is friendly, the place is cozy, and everything comes out beautifully presented. Definitely one of the best Japanese spots around! Highly recommend! 🍣🍤“

“Me and my friend finally visited and can’t rave about this place enough! Our jasmine peach refresher was such a beautiful palate cleanser. We each got the shoyu ramen - that broth is a game changer. Everything was cooked to perfection. Try the taiyaki - it’s made fresh! We will definitely be coming back. Amazing service as well!“

“I just want to say your waitress Sarah H is absolutely amazing, I can not stress that enough. I do not leave reviews but I HAD to let it be known even though I’m sure it stands out everyday. She had went above and beyond and I say this with an understatement how she went out of her way countless times to occupy our two children. The levels she went to is beyond what words can even explain. You guys truly have THE best employee we have ever witnessed at an establishment and I truly hope it is recognized and appreciated that you truly have a diamond in the ruff! Thank you for being great! Truly one of a kind!“
