Kind of a classy Japanese fast food spot for take out or eat in. It's a no frills restaurant plenty of low table seating that is comfortable. Place your order, make payment and they will bring your meal To you. My son and I ordered a myriad of dishes from Sushi rolls, tempura veggies, spring rolls and drinks. Hibachi and bowl dishes are also available. The food is fresh, well prepared and absolutely delicious. This is a great spot for lunch or dinner give them a try. Prices a little elevated but that's everywhere. read more

It was not bad the food was good but it is not like the best sushi ever but it was still good but not perfect

Great food. The service was good. Flavor was amazing. We will definitely go back next time we come to Punta Gorda.

Just finished a large bowl of hibachi with vegetables very good. Enough for multiple meals.

The food and service is amazing. Been here for both lunch and dinner. We have had the chicken bowl and the sushi.

You order at the counter. The food was delicious! The staff really friendly, and this seems to be the go-to lunch spot for many professionals in the area. The restrooms are clean. I'd come back! read more

Bruce and I went to an event at Perch 360 at the Wyvern, and we were still hungry afterward, and I told him there was a sushi place next to Shorty's and asked if he wanted to try it. So, we went on in and it was already around 8:15, and we were concerned we wouldn't get good food because it was close to closing time. Well, we were wrong! Everything we had was fresh, from the two sushi rolls to the freshly-made shrimp and vegetable tempura. The standout was the shrimp potstickers. We both thought they were either homemade in the restaurant or the absolute top quality of pre-made potstickers. These were pan fried perfectly and absolutely fresh and delicious. This is a family-owned, family-run restaurant. We saw a lot of younger clientele and as it's so hard to get decent sushi in the area, we highly recommend Ichi Hibachi. It's a casual restaurant and you order at the counter but if you're in the mood for tasty sushi and good Japanese hot food, this is the go-to place in Punta Gorda. And - reasonably priced! Very welcome these days when you can get a horrible $18 hamburger at the tiki bar while you get tuned up. read more

Great place! We went with friends, never heard of it before, was so delicious! So we went back the following weekend & was just as delicious and fresh tasting. We ordered the shrimp & steak hibachi with fried rice & our friends ordered sushi, which they also enjoyed very much. read more

we love the food but the main lady is ....NOT nice to say the least. they messed up our pick up order and don't care. She will yell at you over a table when you just ordered lots of $$ worth. w given them multiple chances and always the same... not sure how long we can keep going ... read more

Stopped here for dinner with the family and was very impressed! I got the steak and shrimp hibachi and it was delicious!! It was a great portion and price and came with mixed veggies, fried rice, and some miso soup. Everything was cooked perfectly. The steak was medium rare like I asked and the veggies were crispy but still cooked. I asked for extra yum yum sauce and they brought out a whole bunch. Everyone was happy with their meal. Others at the table got sushi and udon noodles. I am looking forward to going back! read more

ICHI HIBACHI - Shrimps and steak hibachi - Japanese Near Me - Punta Gorda, Florida

Being going to this restaurant for many years and enjoyed it. This past week we took another couple and had a different experience, no good. First the order taker was not pleasant during that process and when we ask if a meal was "Gluten free" due to food allergies he just passed us off to another order taker without saying a word. Communication was not a problem. Got our food in a timely manor, however the salmon sushi was tough, and stringy. It may have been a end cut. The other sushi order was just OK with dryer rice. This was our first not great meal, but coupled with the order taker attitude it will be a while before returning. read more

Woman owner is extremely RUDE! Made a nasty face when I asked her something on the menu. I had questions about the noodles, she raised her voice and slammed my receipt on the counter. I have been coming here for 8 years, but never again! Food is quite good, but I will NEVER refer this place or return. Customer service is horrible! You LOST a faithful customer! read more

Inside: very clean and organized Seating: plenty of seating tables and booths Food: I had the Sushi rolls spicy tuna and salmon, both were great. (6.50 a piece) Tasted fresh and had a bit of a kick (for me). My friend had the steak hibachi bowl and he said it was delicious also. Recommend: yes I would recommend trying this restaurant I'm sure you won't be disappointed. read more

A new restaurant that opened about 3 weeks ago. You order at the counter and they bring the food to you. Typical hibachi and sushi options. The sushi was delicious, but the hibachi was just fine. Portion sizes are good, so come hungry! They have standard beer and wine options. There's a few chain locations around Florida so I hope this location does well! read more

ICHI HIBACHI - Dragon roll and small shrimp bowl. - Japanese Near Me - Punta Gorda, Florida

Our first time here. Great location downtown Punta Gorda, nice staff and clean restaurant. I'm not always in the mood for fish so I ordered chicken over rice. The picture of my dish is included and is exactly what it looked like when we walked out of the restaurant. Not too difficult to ascertain frozen freezer burned chicken no matter how pretty it looks in a bowl. Not upset just disappointed. read more

Nice place of a night out. Had the traditional hibachi fair and we had a good time. Prices were as expected and the food was tasty. Nice night out with the family! read more

We came here from out of town and were excited for hibachi. We were so disappointed that there were no grills to sit and watch. However, the place was packed and we thought it had to be good to be so busy. We ordered and got a table. Every worker we encountered was very nice. The food came out quick and was absolutely delicious! The prices were very reasonable too. We were driving home the next day and my kids actually asked if we could go there before we hit the road and get food to go. So we did. I'm not sure if I will ever be in punta gorda again but if I am, I will definitely go back! read more

A must try food made to order. I have the noodles and the steak hibachi cooked to perfection. My children also had the chicken teriyaki along with a ginger salad. Everything was delicious. read more

Great food and quick service!! Prices are incredible for the amount of food you get! The restaurant is always busy

I hidden away little gem. Food was super fresh and delicious. Very unassuming as you have to go up to the counter to order, but the taste was fantastic. Wish we had found it sooner. read more

The food was delicious. I'm picky with my Hibachi and this was 5 stars. Service is friendly

With the demise of Amanoto Japanese Restaurant in Punta Gorda (but good luck to Tony and his lovely wife for many years of friendship and awesome sushi), this place is the only Japanese restaurant in Punta Gorda. THE GOOD: Service is on the ball. You walk up to the counter, order what you want, and take the number back to the table. 15 to 20 minutes later, the attendant will bring the food to the table. No need to really leave a tip. Seems like they make a pretty decent Yum Yum sauce and teriyaki sauce to complement the dishes. I had the steak and shrimp plate. The steak was cooked to medium and the shrimp was a little bit overdone; however, the fried rice that came with it was very good. I also had the yellow fin tuna maki; the tuna tasted fresh and the portion was generous. THE NOT SO GOOD: The fried rice was a decent portion, but the steak and shrimp portions were minimal. They need to double their portions. I understand the importance of trying to make a buck but at least provide a filling dinner. The sake was overpriced, as was the beer. There is no ambience. It's basically sitting in an open room eating next to others. CONCLUSION: If you want, sushi or Teppanyaki cooking in Punta Gorda, this is the place you'll have to come. The maki is better than Publix. The cooked entrées are one step above the food court, but they are not bad considering there's not much else in town. I would suggest once a month or so, primarily for the maki. Note: There is no sushi or sashimi., only maki. read more

Ichi Hibachi Okay, this place is so legit! They do the hibachi in the kitchen, no show in front of you, but the flavor is so clean and good! It's like they don't use a lot of oil, so the meats and veggies seem clean, and crisp. We had 2 rolls, the Mexican Roll and the Party Roll, both were good, crisp rolled seaweed papers. For an entrée, my husband and I shared the Steak & Shrimp, as previously mentioned, fresh and clean, the meat was tender and MR, the Shrimps were plump and not overcooked. We had a glass of wine and a beer with our meal. I really like this place! It's not crazy cool atmosphere, but it's always busy and I don't know what it is, but I feel very comfortable eating there. Go, you'll be pleasantly surprised by the quality of the hibachi without the price of them cooking it right in front of you. read more

I was pleasantly surprised by Ichi Habachi! You order at the counter and they bring the food out to you. Very friendly, very good, very reasonable. I will be back for more habashi, more sushi and more saki!! read more

Really good! My other favorite place for hibachi vegetable fried rice and yakisoba have really let me down lately so I was so excited to try it since it's so close to where I live. No going over the bridge. Staff were sooo nice and informative. I got a to go order of a shrimp bowl with veggies and extra zucchini and onions. They do NOT make the broccoli or veggies mushy. I make my own yum yum sauce but I know they do have a version. Not a fancy place, nor do they cook in front of you but who cares! I wish I could post another persons pics from my next door neighbor site . They are really good . I only took one star because I didn't see any beer or wine on the menu! If they have it, next time I'll definitely eat in! read more

Great decor too, feels really authentic. Lacks music, but is still worth the loss! If you're in Punta Gorda, (Or anywhere, really) You HAVE to visit! Would give ten stars if I could! read more

Great place to get into for a fast bite and the hours work for a spur of the moment decision not to cook
