Updated:This has become one of our favorite sushi spots. They've greatly reduced the wait times and the food/staff is great. Very happy that they have survived the past couple years and can't wait until they are available for sit down service. The takeout is great though!Original:Food is good but outrageous wait times. Over 1 1/2 hour wait for one roll on a Monday night!

Mostly eat the sushi here. Each time I grab two regular rolls and try a new specialty roll. They have all been great so far. I really enjoyed the two friends roll. Lucky this place is so close. Usually 45 minute wait on sushi orders so call before you are starving but worth the wait each time.

Take out only. I like the sushi here, please note their hours on Google are not accurate. I've posted a photo here for everyone.

Been going here for a few weeks. Always order salmon avocado roll. Which is 5.75. The lunch special was 11 dollars last week. Which means I was saving a bit of money getting two of those rolls. Even though they won’t give you miso soup since they are still “take out only” for no reason. Today we get the same lunch special order and now suddenly it’s 12 dollars (so worse deal than regularly ordering the rolls) and now suddenly the regular sushi menu disappears entirely off their website. They now only have a menu for specialty rolls and you can’t order regular rolls at night apparently? They have clearly upped all their prices overnight without mentioning it and it’s a huge disappointment. Taking my business elsewhere.

I only had sushi & dumplings but omg it was SO good! I’ve had sushi from all types of places but this right here had to be the most flavorful & fresh tasting sushi I’ve ever had. And the dumplings were also scrumptious!

This is our favorite restaurant in St Pete. Nice and friendly owners. I’m a big sushi fan, which I highly recommend. Curry and all else is good as well.

They say open for dine inn. But they're not. Take it off you're google.... ???

It’s been 2 years now after covid and they still only do take out only?! Sad. From 5 stars to 1 star because that is just plain ridiculous.

I’ve always enjoyed this place as it is convenient. However, since they’ve gone take-out only, their attention to detail lacks. My advice, check your order before you leave. Otherwise, you are screwed.

Ichiban is great! Delicious and flavorful rolls and apps
