Ichiban Japanese Steak House

Went to Ichiban and arrived at 7:08 PM. We waited patiently. A family of three walked in after us—one of them wanted to leave, but we encouraged them to stay, explaining that the quoted wait time is usually longer than the actual wait, typically around 20 minutes. Then a party of five arrived, followed by a party of four. When I politely said, “Excuse me sir, but we got here first,” the owner looked me straight in the eyes and said, “I’ll seat you later,” and proceeded to seat everyone else ahead of us. By 7:46 PM, we were still waiting. If you’ve been there before, you know the lobby isn’t the most comfortable—especially with a baby getting overheated. Honestly, that felt really disappointing. We did the opposite of complaining—we encouraged others to stay—just to be treated like we didn’t matter.

Room smelt dirty. Floor was sticky. Food was very very salty. Has gone downhill. Used to be excellent.

It was pick up can't rate the staff or atmosphere but food was decent over priced .

Have eaten there on more than one occasion. The food is always outstanding! Tonight, when we went (about 15-20 of us total ranging from infant to 55 years of age, having multiple children with us) to celebrate my stepdaughters' birthday. Everyone had the time of their lives. Had a positive atmosphere making it an entertaining experience. The staff was what made this night so special. Our waitress was incredibly kind and considerate. Our cook was entertaining in more ways than just with his cooking abilities, the manager took the time to make sure everyone's needs were met. Could not have gone better. thank you!

We arrived at the restaurant at 12:50; the waiter said to have a seat and he’ll be back. The waiter came back 15 minutes later and said “It will be a 30 minute wait” ? okay but #1) Be transparent #2) They were not busy #3) It seemed as though he might have done us a huge favor of skipping out of this place.
The entry needs some decor, it’s absolutely dreadful and fyI spice it up a little.

This is my go to for hibachi style food! The atmosphere is quite relaxing and the staff is always friendly and attentive to your needs. And the best part is that your food is cooked right in front of you!They can get pretty busy so I highly recommend calling ahead and making a reservation.

This was a fantastic deal. Hidden gem in a small strip mall. I recommend.

We arrived and were greeted by the hostess right away. Our drink order was taken and brought out promptly. The tables were clean and the grill looked clean and orderly. The lighting is dim but that adds a layer of coziness. The soup was clear and delicious. The salad was crisp and fresh. Everything was cooked perfectly. Great portion sizes...definitely enough to take home.Highly recommend.

The food just isn’t the same. The ginger sauce is bitter and hardly edible. The rest of the food was pretty bland. A few of us had immediate bubble guts and later in the night some got sick. Possibly food poisoning. Our server was hardly around and we barely got refills. We were in a large party so gratuity was added but not shown on the ticket so I paid $40 cash . I found out later that we ended up paying $80 tip.. for a few refills. We will definitely continue to go to Bonsai, the only reason we came here was because the other place was booked up.

The cooks are trash. Food is trash. Customer service is trash. The whole experience was trash. I can't wait till they permanently close the place.

I'm not a fan of hibachi style dinners, but for our anniversary, I thought it might be fun, and ordered the "Love Dinner for Two." I was wrong. The cook did some knife juggling at first, and then it was just cooking. The fried rice was just egg and butter and rice. No vegetables or anything else added to it. The chicken was overcooked, as was the shrimp. I don't know why he asked how we liked our steak (medium-rare) as it all came out as medium (dry). Took half the meal home in a to-go box and threw it away the next day. Noodles were OK, but they are hard to mess up. The meal was certainly not worth the price, and I won't be back. Not ichiban but choto hampa!
