" I’ve visited many Japanese restaurants, but Ichiban truly stands out. The service is incredibly attentive, making sure we were never left wanting. I tried their bento box and found the portion size generous, with each dish being presented beautifully. The miso soup was a calming addition to the meal, which I really appreciated. The only drawback was that the ambiance could’ve been a bit more serene, as it was lively during dinner hours. Overall, an excellent spot for enjoying Japanese cuisine. " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Ichiban on a whim and was blown away by the flavors. This is real Japanese food, not the Americanized versions you find elsewhere. The presentation is top-notch, and the sushi is always fresh. I can't recommend it enough for sushi lovers. " (*Curated Review*)

" Absolutely loved the experience at Ichiban! The sushi was incredibly fresh, and the staff were attentive without being overbearing. I ordered the chef’s special, and it didn't disappoint! The flavors were bright, and each piece was delightfully presented. For anyone seeking a genuine taste of Japan, I would highly recommend paying them a visit. " (*Curated Review*)

" Ichiban has always been a favorite of mine. This last visit, the sushi was excellent as usual, with vibrant flavors. The staff is welcoming and the restaurant is kept impeccably clean. I felt at ease throughout my meal, and the timing was perfect. I truly can't wait to come back and experience the wonderful dishes again soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" I was quite disappointed with my last visit to Ichiban. The quality of the sushi has dropped significantly. My rainbow roll lacked freshness, and some of the items were missing distinct flavors that I once loved about this place. The service, however, remained superb; the staff was very apologetic about my meal. I’ll give it another shot in the future, hoping they'll return to their previous high standards.

" Ichiban is a wonderful restaurant! The service was impeccable, the staff felt like family and made the experience special. I ordered the combination platter, and I was pleasantly surprised by the portion size. It was great value for the food we received. I highly recommend trying the eel sushi, which was very fresh.
