What People Are Saying About Ichiban Japanese Steakhouse

“Excellent food and generous portions! Everything was fresh, flavorful, and cooked perfectly. The chicken and shrimp were delicious, the vegetables were crisp, and the noodles and fried rice were amazing. Great value for the money and friendly service. We were very satisfied and will definitely come back. Highly recommended!”

“I know it’s in a storefront but I give it a chance and boy I am glad I did. They have a room that is nothing but hibachi gymnastics then they have an intimate bar and sushi bar plus romantic booths. I wish my wife was with me, cozy place to eat a special meal. I was coming off the road after eating canned fish for a week really wanted Asian and I really wanted quality fish. I really lucked out and got both beyond my imagination the Scottish salmon hibachi style with sautéed vegetables fried noodles clear broth soup and Ginger salad was so good. This review cannot describe how pleasing it was. Started off with a warm saki bomb on such a cold night. It was a real treat.”

“Have done the hibachi a few times with family, always good. Normally sit at the bar and get food/drinks. Their sushi is always good and consistent, and the Bento boxes are a favorite. Friendly bar staff that remembers your name if you go there more than once”

“It wasn’t overly crowded. We had a nice relaxing dinner. The chef was fun, and did a great job preparing our food. Proteins we’re cooked perfectly, and my scallops were very good, and nice and large. My only complaint would be that they season the rice with the same flavors as the proteins, so everything tastes the same. I’d like a variety in flavors.”

“Great spot for celebrating and enjoying Japanese 🍡🍙 food. Hibachi style dinners w all the showmanship and tasty food. Attentive service and very clean and warm atmosphere. Family friendly. Has a fully stocked bar for all your special needs. Try the sake flights or a signature martini. Also has quiet booth seating for sushi 🍣 other dinners. Plenty of parking, located just off US 22.”
