I hate having to give such a low review, but I have too. This has been my favorite sushi restaurant for a few years now, but I don’t think we’ll be going again. My boyfriend and I went a couple weeks ago and he got sick later that night. Thinking it was something going around the household, we went again last night for Father’s Day and here we are again, he’s throwing up. He had a California roll, smoked salmon and cream cheese, and a Chico roll with a Japanese taco.

Slightly better than Safeway. Check out the salad and what the sushi came in and that's all you need to know. It was edible, not bad but not something you want to pay decent money for. We got it to go and they estimated an hour to be done and then it was finished 30 minutes early... Which meant the food was nice and cold for us as a bonus.

(Our order was TO GO)We had the Mexican Roll and the Chinese tacosSushi Roll was a bit smaller than expected but it was absolutely delicious.Chinese Taco’s are a must try/ very filling

Food is delicious and the waitstaff are prompt and courteous. Clean restaurant. It can get a bit noisy when it's packed, but don't let that deter you. Wide selection of brews as well. I'd share a picture of my food but it was so delicious i forgot to take a picture.

We ate outside which I liked. The inside was a little cramped to get through being I'm in a wheelchair, but seemed to have a nice atmosphere. I had the basic spicy tuna roll and I believe it was the spicy crab roll both were satisfactory.

My friend has been trying to make me try the Japanese taco and it was heavenly. I also tried the shrimp tempura roll. I haven’t had a roll in a very long time. Happy to stop by Ichiban and will surely come back!

If I could give this place -5 stars I would. The sushi was not worth the price very small portions and off taste with the Loin king special roll. The only thing that got me through was the suki. One of the male employees behind the sushi bar kept staring at us felt very odd and creepy. The whole time would not break eye contact.the waitress was very nice tho. If you do decide to come pre game it’s the only way to enjoy it.

Omg some of the best sushi I have had in a long time if not rver.

First time going here, and will be the last. Extremely disappointed in the "Japanese" food. Four or five pieces of chicken with barely any sauce over dry white rice, and a little pile of wilted lettuce next to it, when I ordered two chicken and vegetable teriyaki plates. The tempura was bland. The employee that handed me my to-go order said there was already tempura sauce in the bag - there was not. The instant miso soup was probably the best part. I ordered this for my husband's birthday dinner after reading such good reviews online, none of which I understand or feel this restaurant deserves. I am so upset I spent this much money on this meal. Super disappointing?

small menu and the rolls looked like they were child size. Barely any fish and mostly rice. I wouldn't go there again
