" This place is a hidden gem! The sushi rolls are crafted perfectly with fresh ingredients. I was pleasantly surprised at the variety of options available, and the prices were reasonable for the quality. The atmosphere was charming, and I especially enjoyed the Japanese-themed decor. However, the service was a bit hit-or-miss, with some staff being less attentive. Despite this, I think Ichiban has made a loyal customer out of me. I will definitely return for more! " (*Curated Review*)

" I ordered takeout for the first time from Ichiban and I was floored by how tasty it was! The sushi rolls were delicious, and they maintained the freshness even on a to-go order. They even included soy sauce and wasabi packs, which was a nice touch. I can't wait to dine in next time. Such a great option for those who love Japanese cuisine! " (*Curated Review*)

" Ichiban has a great selection of both traditional and unique sushi options. The fish was fresh, but some of the special rolls felt a bit gimmicky. Service was prompt and friendly, and the overall feel of the place was inviting. Worth a try if you're in the area. " (*Curated Review*)

" Sadly, my visit was disappointing. While the food had potential, it was underwhelming. The teriyaki chicken was bland, and for such a Japanese restaurant, I expected better. The atmosphere was nice, but it didn’t make up for the lack of flavor in the food. Not sure if I'll return anytime soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Ichiban last weekend and it was quite good. The food was fresh and beautifully presented, but I felt the service could use some improvement. My waiter seemed rushed and didn't check on us regularly. The atmosphere was inviting, so it provided a nice backdrop for our dinner. I loved the Green Tea Ice Cream as a dessert; it was a refreshing finish! " (*Curated Review*)

" Ichiban is fantastic! The sushi here is some of the best I've ever had outside of Japan. To see such quality in Bangor is a blessing. I returned after a year away, and the flavors were just as I remembered. If you're a sushi lover, Ichiban is a must-visit. Plus, the staff are always polite and welcoming. " (*Curated Review*)

" I didn't find the experience as good as I had hoped. While the food was decent, I expected more given the rave reviews. The sushi rolls were good, but they didn't feel as authentic as I anticipated. Service was friendly, but the wait for food was longer than it should have been. I'm willing to give them another shot. " (*Curated Review*)
