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!”

“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.”

“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”
