We've eaten here several times & the food is always really good. The appetizers, sushi & main dishes have always tasted great & the portions are really good too. The staff is really nice but service has been a little slow at times. We didn't mind when things took a little longer than customary because the food has always been well worth the wait. read more

Very good food and friendly service. Average ambience but clean. Good place for egg foo young.

I have had nothing but good experiences here.. It's nice to have a Chinese restaurant that is not a buffet.. it's the only one in this area that makes scallion chicken the way it's supposed to be.. they have many dishes that you cannot get at any restaurant in the county.. unfortunately it doesn't get the business it should because most people go to the buffet down the road.. The food is always consistent and every plate i've had was good. The service has been good and i have no complaints. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone who enjoys more of a traditional Chinese restaurant. read more

Really great food especially the sushi!! I hope people always find this great restaurant!!

I found one thing I like here, so that is all I get. It's the lunch special with miso soup and two sushi rolls. I trust the sushi because it's fresh, made to order, unlike supermarket sushi. I did come here once with a friend who ordered Chinese food off the menu. It was meh. read more

I hate to give this place such a low rating because everyone working there was so nice and I will caveat that we didn't try any of the sushi, but we were really disappointed with the food. The edamame was a little crunchy and the spring rolls were a little mushy on the inside. The gyoza tasted like they were previously frozen and from a distributor, there wasn't much filling in them at all. The other two main dishes really lacked flavor so much so that we didn't bother taking home leftovers. I think we were fooled by all of the stars in the reviews below, and then I noticed the restaurant gave itself five stars while advertising tea. Kind of skews the ratings. read more

We ordered the Spicy Maki Combo, Tiger Roll, and Sushi Sashmi combo to go. When we picked up the order, we asked about the miso soup or salad that comes with the Sushi Bar Entrees as indicated on their menu. We were told that the soup or salad was included for dine in only. This is not indicated on the menu. So, no soup or salad, but they gave us a nice big bowl of ginger and Wasabi! Horrible. Also, the Tiger Roll was not worth the price. Will not go back. Waste of money read more

We eat here frequently and have never had a bad meal. I especially enjoy the green tofu curry.

Great food, clean bathrooms, great service. We went on a Sunday afternoon. It was wonderful. We had the mango chicken and pad Thai. The mango chicken was so fresh and vibrant. The pad Thai was good but a little spicier than I care for but not too bad. We also had the sweet potato sushi which was so excellent I forgot to take a picture until it was gone. The prices were also good. We will return next time we drive through. read more

Been twice now. The 1st time was good, had sushi appetizer with a traditional Chinese dish of Hunan shrimp. The 2nd time was April 10th and sat at the bar. Young woman serving was inattentive. Had Thai shrimp curry and was not spicy. A dissapointment. read more

This is a hidden gem - the best Asian food we've ever had is right here in Chocowinity. The food practically screams freshness, and it's cooked perfectly. The presentation is great. And, the place is spotless. I don't know why we haven't been here before, but we will be back. It's worth the drive from Greenville if you want excellent food. read more

Took the family here for the first time. Food and service was awesome. Spicy maki rolls were great. Hibachi steak and chicken tasted great. The general chow chicken was nice and crispy. Can't go wrong and close to home read more

I posted a review of this restaurant about 2 years when I was in love with this place. It saddens me to know the high quality they use to hold for their food has diminished. Today I ordered my usual, 2 Philadelphia rolls and miso soup. The soup was fantastic as always. However, the sushi grade is not what it use to be. Now, with all things considered in COVID times, I could see making some budget cuts to keep the place going. The cuts were definitely made in the sushi department. Fish is not fresh nor are the vegetables and seaweed wrapping. The sushi is mushy and I bit into a hard piece of something that I have no clue was. I am sad to say I may never go back especially since this was my favorite place in all of Beaufort county. read more

The sushi is fantastic! The rolls are great and all the sushi I've ordered has been fresh and well done. Even the rice is better then some of the places in greenville. Thank goodness we don't have to drive an hour to get the good stuff since Chocowinity is closer. read more

A friend and I decided to try this for lunch on a Saturday. I was looking for a place with a few vegan options. So glad I found Ichiban Bistro! My vegetable and fried rice lunch was fresh, tasty and probably less expensive than a trip to a fast food joint. It was so good, we took friends to lunch there on Sunday! Once again, everything was fresh, the sauce was light so the vegetables weren't drenched, served quickly and the price was right. read more

One word...sushi! Ichiban has some of the best rolls I've ever had in the Special Roll section of the menu. Very high quality and the rolls are large. I also love their miso soup. I usually don't like miso soup but Ichiban's is the exception. The service is outstanding and the owner is fantastic. Can't say enough good things about Ichiban. If you're in the area, it's definitely worth a visit. read more

We come to the Greenville, NC area from time to time, & often stay in Chocowinity when we do, but this is the first time we had noticed this restaurant. Due to its proximity to the hotel where we were staying, we decided to try it. What a pleasant surprise! My husband ordered Cashew Chicken, and pronounced it "the best he had ever eaten"! I could say the same for the Beef & Broccoli I ordered! Very reasonably priced, the dinners came with soup, fried rice, and egg/spring rolls, all of which were quite tasty. The restaurant has a nice ambience too--very classy. We will definitely eat here again...maybe tomorrow! read more

Disappointed, we ordered miso soup, came out luke warm and instead of miso had wontons in it, beef and broccoli which tasted very very sweet that the sauce was over powering and hibachi shrimp which was not cooked in a hibachi was more like a canned product covered in a very sweet sauce. Shrimp was served with rice and a side of ranch? dressing? Not even close to good Chinese food. read more

While I've waited and contemplated whether to share this review, in the end I thought it may be helpful to others looking for healthy choices. We're thrilled to have a local restaurant in the nearby community, especially one that offers quality sushi and even budget combos for families; however, with that said, there are little to no healthy options offered on OR off the menu for anyone trying to eat clean or following a low carb / keto diet! Everything is either sugared down or heavily ladened sauces. I even asked if they could provide a stir fry or any type of meal (I'm not picky) without the added sugar or thickening agents (not to mention high sodium) to which I received a flat "no" - not even an offer of compromise! This hit me wrong, especially as businesses are struggling to stay open and ask customers to support them during the challenge of Covid-19. My hope is that this review doesn't fall upon deaf ears and that management hears my concerns and makes a concerted effort to make changes to the menu options and/or offers to accommodate customer diet restrictions. read more

I had the hibachi chicken lunch special. It was a little different from what I'm used to but it was really good. Will definitely go back when I'm in town read more

Our order to go was not correct! Several mistakes! Didn't receive rice with our curry. Received lo mein instead. Ask for hot mustard with egg rolls but didn't receive that either. When you try to order through the app on website, it doesn't work read more

One of my favorite places to eat. The staff is a always inviting and the food is always amazing. Quality product and superior flavor.

We picked up dinner for our family last weekend but when we got home the rice was missing. Had to drive all the way back to get it. Dinner was cold but not even an extra fortune cookie or discount was offered for our trouble. This last time we dined in the restaurant, my husband's order was brought out but mine took an additional 30 minutes to prepare. Portions are relatively small & the food is average. We won't be going back. read more

Great food and wonderful service. A nice little place. I had the shrimp chicken and beef with hot garlic sauce and it was tasty. Nice portion too I even had enough to take for my lunch the next day. read more

I work at the hotel across the street and often eat here. The food is excellent for this area. You aren't going to find many places that serve Thai or curry around here. Both are excellent. The sushi is really good. The sake is great. Some of the best sake I've ever had they serve here. Sho Chiku Bai Nigori Creme de Sake is the name of it I believe. 0 burn, smooth, nice taste. Great staff as you probably read with the other reviews they are very friendly. I would recommend trying this place if you are in the area or staying at our hotel across the street and they will even deliver over to this hotel. read more

Wife and I have been there twice. First time I had hibachi chicken. It was good. If the white sauce had been spot on delicious like it is in many Japanese restaurants, I would be giving five stars. Second time I had Thai pad chicken. Presentation was a little weak, but the food's taste and large quantity more than made up for it. Wife had sweet and sour chicken both times and enjoyed. The sweet and sour soup is also good. Had an order of spring rolls. Three fairly small rolls for $3.99 is a little pricey, but they were very tasty. Overall cost, experience, and taste lead me to recommend this place. It is above average. read more

So happy there is a good Chinese/Japanese restaurant near Washington. Visiting family from MA and did a take out order. Ordered shrimp lomein, crab ragaoons, general tao's chicken, sushi, and wonton soup. Everything was great except soup, I didn't care for the wontons. But living near Boston we have great wontons so could be me being picky. Was pleasantly surprised by the sushi! read more

I decided ahead to visit Ichiban. Called to confirm Asian beer offerings and front of house manager was very nice and offered great information. I drove a few miles and arrived to a filled parking lot and a nice crowd. Ample parking along the rear, too. No problem. The wait staff greeted and seated me. I chose the sushi bar and immediately felt comfortable. The drinks are a very good offering. The decor is minimal and nice. Service is out of this world. The sashimi appetizer was sumptuous and presented beautifully. My next delight was a squid salad that was the best I have had. The pickling of the squid was perfection. I enjoyed Sapporo and closed with a bowl of rice. What a delightful evening. read more

Unbelievable slow service!! Very nice waitress and management but the wait for our dinners was extraordinarily slow. Especially when you're trying to entertain 3 small children. Need to do better folks. read more

Super friendly waitress. The day I visited my lunch party were the only ones there. Now, let's break down the food, every drop of everything we ordered was not yummy. It seriously just tasted like well, just food. Not specifically Chinese, Japanese, just food. No taste of any nationality. When I go to a Chinese restaurant I want to taste China, not America. It was purely tasteless or I would say Chinese food with American taste but without seasoning. We tried to put soy sauce on our dishes but it didn't help. When the waitress came back well needless to say she took full plates back with her. The one other thing was the waitress did not get my order right although I repeated it to her 4-5 times. But she had a dazzling personality so I let it all slide. I won't be visiting again. read more

I've been to this restaurant several times, as this is the only restaurant in our area that offers sushi. I'm not a person who is easily impressed, so I often shrug off minor irritations. However, we went there for dinner this evening and it was the worst visit yet. First off, it took a very long time to just to get a drink. Next thing, i asked if my veggies for my hibachi could be cooked a little longer. The waitress said no problem and went on with the orders. I ordered a spring roll with my meal this time, as the soup isn't very good (in my opinion), which was supposed to be delivered to us first along with the sushi we ordered. The two persons accompanying me received their soup. No worries, I was sure my spring roll was on the way. Next while I waited and watched my Friends eat they brought out our main courses. No spring roll or sushi. Sushi doesn't keep well so we waited before eating our meals so we could enjoy our sushi first. When I got my meal, I noticed the veggies weren't cooked a longer as I had asked. So I asked the waitress if she could ask the cook to cook them a bit longer. She replied, " I could ask but he will yell at me.." I told her not to worry about it if she would be yelled at! On top of that, still no sushi or spring roll.. Finally some random girl was walking by and my friend asked where the sushi was, mind you this is an hour after our order was taken. This girl brings the sushi that had been sitting on the counter the entire time, then explained to us that she didn't even work there and that she waitress tables for free to help her friend. We gave the girl a tip as well. I finally received my spring roll with the check.. I was very disappointed in this visit as my plan was to treat my friend to some good sushi near by. I was embarrassed for taking her there. Will not be treating friends here again. As far as the cook yelling at the wait staff, something should be done regarding that. We felt bad for the poor girl :( read more

I tried their sushi roll and veg tempura appetizer before，it was amazing.The people there were very nice, I can't wait to go there next time. read more

I've been there weekly for a month now. Always try something new. Everything tastes wonderful. The best Sushi rolls for miles. It's not a rush and eat restaurant, it's a go sit down and enjoy your food place. If you want to rush, do takeout and call ahead. read more

My husband and I were elated when we found out that there finally was a place closer than Greenville to order sushi at! We have eaten sushi twice there now and both times, it was hands down the best sushi we have ever eaten anywhere!!! The Chinese food and Thai dishes are also great but the sushi is most remarkable!! The service is also fantastic! read more
