Green dragon roll was the perfect soft roll and the tamago nigiri was a sweet dessert. I will be back to try all the other rolls.

The food was delicious and seating was right away. The only reason I gave a 4 on the service is because the waitress was a little too involved in the conversations we were having at the table. When I'm having dinner with someone I'd like not to have feedback from the staff unless asked for.

I'm extremely disappointed. Their sign said open until 2100 (9pm). I arrived at 810 p.m., and I was promptly told they were closing at 830 p.m., and they
were not taking any new customers. I have enjoyed Ichiban many times, but after being turned away. I will probably never go back. It is pretty sad to get turned away as a paying customer. I am highly disappointed. I will also pass on to my friends what happened too.

Japanese cuisine is by far our favorite food to eat. We were incredibly disappointed with our experience here at Ichiban. Upon entering the restaurant, there were about 4 other tables (roughly 12 guests plus us 2) in the restaurant. We sat for about 10 minutes before our waitress came to our table with menus.. and a piece of paper and pen. We watched the lone waitress take orders from the table to our left, yet we had to write out order (apps, drinks AND meal) and deliver it to the kitchen. My pop came in about 5 additional minutes and my boyfriend did not get his beer for about 10 additional minutes (a bottle) and us having to flag the waitress down for it.

We ordered gyoza for our appetizer. It was 6 pieces for 8.27. This is a reasonable price for gyoza that is well cooked and hot. Our gyoza was lukewarm and I bit into an ice cold spot in one of them. 8 dollars for still frozen gyoza. We hoped our experience would go up from here.

Our salads were made of iceberg lettuce and a single drop of dressing that was just rice vinegar. So just iceberg lettuce. Yum.

They had no miso soup and the waitress did not offer a replacement side without us complaining. Our replacement side: disgusting, dry rice. This is a Japanese restaurant and their rice was almost stale.

I ordered the tempura dinner. It was 17.63 for 2 pieces of shrimp and 2 pieces of DEFINITELY FROZEN calamari. The rest of the plate was filled with deep friend onions and carrots. The value of this dinner was not nearly 20 dollars. My dipping sauce tasted like literally nothing. We asked the waitress if that was customary and she said yes. This dinner was a total rip off.

My boyfriend order the beef teriyaki bento box. It was 17.63 as well. The salmon was less than 2 oz and was cooked okay. It tasted frozen, not fresh. His California rolls were just fine. The IMITATION CRAB tasted like NOTHING. And it was imitation!!! His teriyaki chicken tasted like fast 5 dollar Chinese food chicken. Definitely frozen. The sauce was from a bag. So far, NOTHING seems to be fresh or homemade. He got two servings of terrible rice because again, no miso soup.

We saw the cook pull precut sushi from a bag and did not see him prepare any sushi that did not come from precut bags of sushi fish.

You’d be better off sourcing a Japanese dinner from Costco than going here. Not only will it be fresh, but it will also be cheaper. There is no cook here. Only microwaves and freezers.

The only positive, the waitress was sweet and gave us 10% off our dinner because we talked with her about what a rip off this is to customers and how this can hurt their business.

We will never be coming back. So disappointed

All the food we ordered was great, except for one roll. We were not fans of the crazy monkey roll. The rest was amazing! Quick, friendly service.

Kid-friendliness: They were kind to my kids, even when they spilled water. Kids menu available. Highchairs available.

I ordered katsudon and chicken teriyaki. I did not like the taste with everything plus long waiting.
this is imitation of japanese food. Katsudon supposed to have eggs in it with soft taste with sauce. That's why it call Don but instead it has an ordinary soysauce or whatever soy they put! Doesnt taste good & Not recommended.

My friend has food intolorances. She wrote it down and told the server. But then when they made the dish without removing what she cant have, the cook came over and argued with her about remaking it and how long it was going to take to remake her dish. We had already waited along time. But they remade it anyway. Just a reminder, the customer is always right in the restaurant business!

The order was placed about an hour ago for takeaway and the prices stated in the menu do not correspond to the amount I paid in fact!!!!. Each set was more expensive by 1-2$!!!! Service is horrible, they took payment higher than the stated - why leave a tip?!!!!! Teach your staff to be polite!
