" While my experience at Ichiban was largely positive, I did face a couple of hiccups. The food was satisfying, especially the gyoza, which was outstanding! However, my server seemed a bit overwhelmed, and it took a long time for her to bring our drinks. On the plus side, the atmosphere was vibrant, and the hibachi chefs delivered a fantastic show. I think I will give Ichiban another shot in the future. " (*Curated Review*)

" Not my first visit, but my last visit to Ichiban was disappointing. The hibachi chef was simply going through the motions and was not engaging at all. The food tasted decent, but nothing super memorable, and I felt like the experience lacked the excitement I had previously enjoyed. I hope they can improve, but I won’t be rushing back anytime soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" Ichiban was a favorite of mine when I lived in Waco, and I finally got the chance to return. The hibachi chef was fantastic and delivered an entertaining show while cooking. We ordered the Surf and Turf and it did not disappoint in flavor! However, the rice was a bit undercooked. Overall, it was satisfying and I look forward to returning. " (*Curated Review*)

" I went with my family last night, and it was an enjoyable experience overall. The kids found the hibachi entertaining, and the food was decent. It was a bit noisy due to all the excitement, but that’s expected at a hibachi place. Portion sizes were fine for the price. Would consider returning in the future. " (*Curated Review*)

" Really enjoyed my visit to Ichiban! The hibachi chefs are not only skilled but also entertaining, making the experience much more enjoyable. The fried rice was fantastic, and I loved the variety of sushi. My only concern was the portions; they felt smaller than expected for the price. Otherwise, a solid 4-star experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" Really enjoyed my time at Ichiban! The sushi was vibrant and loaded with flavor. The only downside was that the portions seemed smaller compared to other places I've been. The ambiance was relaxing, and the service was quick. I’d come back for the sushi anytime! " (*Curated Review*)

" My boyfriend and I decided to try Ichiban for a date night, and it was absolutely a delight! We chose to sit at the hibachi grill, and our chef was a blast! He kept us entertained while skillfully cooking our meals. The steak and shrimp were cooked to perfection. The ambiance was lovely, perfect for a night out. We will definitely be back again soon!
