" I pop into Ichiban at least once a month and have to say the food is consistently good. Their nigiri is always packed with delicious, fresh fish, while their rolls offer a variety of flavors. It's quick and easy and a great source of comfort food. However, the service can be hit or miss. Sometimes it's prompt, and other times, it's a bit slow. I've scaled back my expectations for speed, knowing the taste is worth it! " (*Curated Review*)

" The chicken katsu I had was alright, but I've tasted better elsewhere. However, the sushi I ordered was excellent! I enjoyed the freshness and creativity in the rolls. The service was friendly but slightly disorganized during busy hours. Still, I think this place has a lot of potential. I may try their ramen or teriyaki next visit, as I’ve heard those are top-notch. " (*Curated Review*)

" I love Ichiban! The shrimp tempura is the best I've had in the area – crispy without being greasy. One thing I noticed is that they are really good about making sure everything is fresh. I'm a bit picky about sushi, and I’ve had bad experiences elsewhere, but here, I can confidently say that every roll I’ve tried has been delightful. The customer service is top-notch; the staff is always so welcoming. Highly recommend checking this place out! " (*Curated Review*)

" Returning to Ichiban after a year was a delightful experience! The teriyaki chicken was flavorful just like I remembered, but the portions seemed to have shrunk a little since my last visit. Nonetheless, the crunchy shrimp roll is a must-try, it’s always a favorite. I love that they maintain a friendly vibe and I can see the cooks putting pride into their dishes. Will keep coming back for the good food and cozy atmosphere! " (*Curated Review*)

" Last week, I took my partner to Ichiban for dinner. The sushi rolls were fresh and delicious, each bite bursting with flavor. I loved how generous the portions were, making it such a good value. The service was impeccable as well, very attentive yet not intrusive. I would recommend this restaurant for anyone looking for great sushi and an authentic dining experience! " (*Curated Review*)

" I am absolutely in love with Ichiban! The sushi is fresh, and the portions are generous without breaking the bank. Every time I have visited, the staff has been friendly and the food has been incredibly consistent. I particularly love the crunchy shrimp roll! I could eat there every week and still look forward to it. If you're hesitating to check it out, don't – you won't regret it! " (*Curated Review*)

" After trying many different sushi restaurants, Ichiban stands out with its flavors and freshness. I revisit every month, and I've never been disappointed. The sushi rolls and teriyaki dishes have the right balance of flavor and texture. The owners are incredibly welcoming and make me feel at home. The only downside is that it can get a bit crowded, especially during weekends. Nevertheless, I will always recommend Ichiban to friends and family. " (*Curated Review*)
