" I was very excited to dine at Ichiban after hearing so much about it. The sushi was outstanding, but I found some of the Korean dishes less impressive. The service was decent, though I felt that some of the waitstaff seemed overwhelmed during peak hours. I’ll take another visit soon; it was a lovely evening overall. " (*Curated Review*)

" Ichiban is a wonderful creation in Hartford! The food is almost always spot-on, the ambiance is inviting, and the service is friendly. I had a lovely bowl of kimchi stew that blew me away! I also enjoyed their sushi, and the options are vast. I'll be a frequent guest for sure. " (*Curated Review*)

" My experience was very pleasant at Ichiban! The Korean flavors were rich and comforting. I loved the complimentary side dishes that came with my meal, though I do wish more options were available. The service was friendly, and I enjoyed the cozy atmosphere as well. All in all, a great place for a casual meal. " (*Curated Review*)

" My experience at Ichiban was fantastic! The kombucha drink was surprisingly refreshing followed by a warm bowl of kimchi stew that was just what I needed. I noticed they had many authentic dishes that I can't find anywhere else in Hartford. I left feeling satisfied and happy, with just the right amount of spice in my meal. I definitely see myself returning with friends to share the experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" I cannot recommend Ichiban enough! The kimchi pancakes are my absolute favorite, and the bulgogi is unlike anything I’ve tried before. The service was prompt, and the atmosphere was friendly. I love how you get various side dishes included with your meal here. It's truly a value for the price! " (*Curated Review*)

" On my first visit to Ichiban, I was impressed by the quality of the food and the vibrant flavors. I went for the bulgogi and it was spot on! The wait wasn't too long, but the server was slightly distracted even though friendly. I felt the portion sizes were reasonable but would love to see more variety in their banchan offerings. Overall, a good find. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had an average meal at Ichiban—nothing special to write home about. The sushi was good but not groundbreaking, and my Korean dish was okay. It felt like a typical fusion restaurant, and I was hoping for more authenticity. I guess it's a solid choice for a quick bite, but I probably won't rush back anytime soon. " (*Curated Review*)
