Some of the best food hands down. An the liquid gold yum yum sauce should be bottled up in stores. You can do karaoke anytime you want to but Saturday nights.

Phenomenal hibachi and huge portions. Bar is a work in progress but service is highly attentive and clearly truly cares about the business and making you a repeat customer.

The food was delicious and the service was excellent.
We loved Aji Ichiban when it was on Glenway, and are thrilled with the new location where the old Washington Platform restaurant used to be in Elm Street. It’s all new and very clean and cozy! Their yummy-yummy sauce is simply the best! I love the Hibatchi shrimp and fried rice and my husband and kids love the Hibatchi Chicken and shrimp. They have a beautiful full bar and an extra room for karaoke and private events! They do not cook in front of you but have nice seating and bring the food to you. I think I like this better! Family owned and operated by a great couple who treat you like family. If you’re craving Hibatchi, this is the place to go!!
We are so thrilled Aji Ichiban opened in this new location where the old Washington Platform restaurant used to be! Their "yummy-Yummy sauce is simply the best! Hibatchi shrimp and Hibatchi chicken with shrimp are our favorites and their fried rice is so great! The ambiance is very cozy with booths and tables and they have a full bar with a nice wine selection. Everything is new and clean. They don't cook in front of you but bring the food to your table. I think I like this better. They have a private room with a karaoke machine and can host private parties. This is a family owned business and they treat you like family. Warning - that yum-yum sauce is totally addicting! Highly recommend the new Aji Ichiban!!

Food wasn’t good.It came out very burnt. Vegetables had too much teriyaki sauce which was very salty. Rice was dry and burnt. The dish wasn’t flavorful at all. Service was good thou.

Hibachi was dry dark brown my order was wrong owner was rude and told me no refund and not to order there anymore even though she admitted to messing up the order was told if I didn’t like don’t get it again 25 dollars
I heard that they recently opened. I have tried a few other hibachi restaurants in the downtown area but when I tried ají inchiban all I can say is wow! From the friendly welcoming atomosphere entering the restaurant to the flavorful food! Hands down this is the best hibachi restaurant downtown that I have tried. Also don’t forget to ask for yum yum sauce ? ? ?

We are from out of town and found this restaurant completely by chance, unknowing it had just opened. We were shocked with how well all of the staff members were taking care of us, multiple people stoping by and making sure we were enjoying everything. The filet mignon for the hibachi was extremely well seasoned. The homemade Yum Yum sauce is to die for. Already said when we are back in town we will have to come again.

We love hibachi and couldn't wait to try out the new downtown Aji Ichiban, it exceeded our expectations! Everything we had was bursting with flavor, so delicious starting with the hot ginger tea and shrimp tempura appetizer, best tempura we have had in years! We ordered the Steak and Shrimp Hibachi along with the Yakisoba noodles. The Japanese Onion and Mushroom soup was so flavorful and the salad with ginger dressing was fresh and so tasty. The steak was cooked to perfection along with the shrimp and a generous portion of fried rice along with zucchini, onions and mushrooms, with such appetizing seasoning. The Yakisoba noodles were to die for, so amazing my husband and I said we could eat them every day! Their Yum Yum sauce and Brown Ginger sauce was the best we've had at any hibachi spot. We shared the leftovers tonight and somehow it all tasted even better than it did the first time. We will definitely be back and bring the rest of our family for this wonderful dining experience!
