Ichiban Reviews
Absolutely horrible, then on top of it force you to pay a 20 percent tip. Never going back
Been an Ichiban for close to 15 years and always enjoyed the experience. Great rolls and of course hibachi. Last visit I noticed a 20% service fee for a party of TWO. That is just not acceptable. Ichiban. You’ve lost a long time regular. Too many options to put up with the check gouging.
We have been to Ichiban 2 times now and both times were great!! Highly recommend.

The restaurant is known for its enjoyable sashimi and rolls. It has a unique hibachi setup with all stations in one big room, allowing families to enjoy the flames shooting up while dining. Ichiban's owner goes above and beyond to ensure a memorable experience, as shown when they provided extra dishes for guests celebrating special occasions.
The restaurant has ample parking and is reasonably priced, although options for children may be limited. The portions are generous, particularly the Dinner chicken teriyaki hibachi, which includes large servings of chicken, fried rice, vegetables, shrimp, soup, and salad. Customers have noted the excellent service, with staff being helpful and accommodating, such as offering reduced prices for kids’ meals.
Ichiban has hosted events like wedding rehearsal dinners, where the manager and staff successfully coordinated everything, ensuring guests were promptly seated and orders were taken efficiently. While the atmosphere can be lively and loud, the overall dining experience is well-managed, making it a great place for both casual meals and special gatherings.
