My best friend and I were in for dinner before the Backstreet Boys concert and we loved it. The staff was so nice and the food was fresh and incredible. The portions were huge so be prepared for leftovers or have a big group of people with you. I can't wait to go back next time I'm in Bangor.

Everything was very good, this is the first place where I actually enjoyed the mackerel. We inadvertently ordered way too much food, but it was totally worth the splurge.

Don't let the unassuming facade fool you. This modest eatery tucked in a strip next to a Dollar store boasts the best sushi I've had in years. The inside is tastefully decorated and the tables nicely spaced. The service is fast and friendly and the menu extremely extensive. Lots of sushi and sashimi offerings but also other Asian specialties. A friend and I shared two rolls, a salad or two, crab rangoons and tuna and salmon sashimi and everything was fresh, delicious and expertly prepared. Hot green tea and a cucumber martini accompanied our meal. I'm thrilled to find such high quality sushi right here in Bangor.

Very over priced food. I waited for about 20 mins before she noticed I was there. The young waitress didn't seem to be trained very well. The food is good but very over priced for rice & noodles.

Yum! I have never dined here before and it was a very pleasant experience. The staff was very kind, and everything looked so clean and organized. When the food came out everything looked beautiful and was delicious. I can't wait to come back!

March 6, 2022My review of the Ichican Restaurant is not about its food; my review is about that very kind Chinese female that spent many minutes this afternoon trying to get a Taxi for my disabled neighbour..She made at least a few calls.She and Walter and those other kind persons there are lovely individuals.I used to live in China. They're so good!

Walter and Lu are incredible people. They know my order, remember my name, and their Sushi is hands down the best in the Bangor area. The rolls are tight, the fish is clearly fresh, the other ingredients are flavorful, and it's obvious that it's an art to them. My favorite rolls are the Honolulu, Hollywood, Smoked salmon, Tiger, Rainbow, and of course- Philly. You will not be disappointed if it's your first time trying Ichiban!

The sushi was very fresh it's not overpriced like some places and our server was amazing

I came to the restaurant during the lunch rush. The waitress was very pleasant and gave us great service. The sushi was delicious! Can’t wait to go back and try more items.

The noodles were good but cold, as was the beef Teriyaki. There were no sauces plastic ware, or even napkins. My friend bought three canned sodas with his order, and once we got our bills we found out they had charged him $3 apiece. He paid for noodles but didn't get any. It was just a bad experience. These were takeaway orders and I still gave them a $3 tip. It just wasn't worth the time or effort.
