    I was satisfied with Ichiban. The sushi was very yummy. Some of my other family members said that their chicken was cold and not very good. But other than that the food was yummy and the service was excellent the waiter was very kind and he was constantly got rid of our plates when we were done with them. The ambience was excellent I loved the vibe it was very chill and relaxing. I would definitely come again !!

    Entree bar

    This was a very clean place. The buffet bar was fresh and appealing. Staff were friendly and attentive. Definitely will be back again.

    Exactly what you'd expect from a Buffet! Great option if you're feeling really hungry or just really nostalgic. Food was pretty fresh.

    Went there for the snow crab legs and was disappointed that it was cooked with other seafood and was dripping with sauce and hard to get out of the shell!

On my most recent visit, the restaurant was very busy, yet the service was surprisingly quick. The atmosphere is clean, modern, and upscale perfect for a dinner date or a special night out. While the sushi is priced a bit higher than some other spots in town, the quality of the ingredients, presentation, and service make it well worth it. You truly get what you pay for here.

    I have had the pleasure of visiting this establishment twice before, and each time, I left…read morethoroughly impressed by both the service and the food. Unfortunately, my most recent experience was not as positive, and I found myself disappointed--though not due to any major issues. When I arrived at 11 a.m., right as the restaurant opened, there seemed to be adequate staff and they certainly weren't too busy to pay attention to the two tables dining at the time. I have no issue with staff taking a moment to chat, but I wish they had focused a little more on the guests who were dining. We ordered green tea, which is served in a metal teapot. The protocol is that if one person orders it, they receive the teapot, and if two people order it, they get one teapot to share. However, what surprised me was that despite finishing our tea, no one came by to offer us a refill. It would have been nice for someone to ask if we wanted more, especially given that we had finished the first pot. I also ordered the vegetable udon, hoping for a flavorful dish filled with fresh vegetables. Sadly, when it arrived, it lacked any vegetables and was quite bland. The overall taste was underwhelming, which was disappointing, as I had expected better. I pushed the plate to the side, indicating that I wouldn't be eating it. No one noticed. My plate was hardly touched, and not once did any staff member, including what I presumed to be the manager based on his demeanor, come over to inquire about my meal. He passed by my table at least three times without asking if everything was okay. I would have appreciated the opportunity to provide feedback. While I must say that everything else I tasted, aside from the udon, was delicious, the lack of attention to detail--such as not offering a refill for my tea and not inquiring about my dining experience--left me feeling neglected. It was truly disappointing to leave with an untouched plate and not a single word from the staff addressing my concerns even after we declined the offer container to take home the meal.

You have to try the Dubai chocolate martini as a licked the edges of the glass. As I do NOT like any fish I ordered the crab Rangoon, it was delicious, I was disappointed by the size so if you typically share I suggest you order 2. It was nice you get an even number. I also ordered the chicken karaage appetizer which was also delicious with a spicy dipping sauce. Husband ordered the Karo miso salmon with a side of fried rice. It was delicious and had nice flavors The place is beautiful inside and outside with beautiful cherry blossom trees lit at night gives a nice setting. Plenty of street parking and a garage within walking distance. Prices are excellent!!! Highly recommend.

The service was quick and cordial. The food is good, though could be better. We liked the fried tempura and the sauce that it comes with. I thought the Japanese curry was good and I enjoyed the pickled veggies, but the curry only thinly lay on top and it didn't have any carrots/potatoes in the curry. The fried pork cutlets were very yummy though. The yakisoba was good but the flavor was on the more mild side and the noodles seemed a little too soft for my liking. It's very pretty and seems like a nice place for a date or outing if you're up in Carmel area.

    My previous review for Nori Japan still stands for the most part. However, that was written during…read moretheir grand opening phase. Once I returned for another visit, it just wasn't as good. I ordered takeout. Service was quick. It just wasn't as friendly as when they first opened. Maybe a little too fast? We were welcomed to sit in a booth as we waited. The wooden seating was uncomfortable. The seating area, table, floors, and restroom seemed sticky and dirty. It felt stuffy and greasy inside. My food was okay. It just wasn't giving an oomph feeling of wanting more. I like to be dancing in my seat with joy when consuming my favorite foods including Japanese fare. This didn't have that feeling. My tempura didn't sit well with me. I can't say it was food poisoning for sure, but I wouldn't order it again after that experience. I suspect old oil in the fryer perhaps. The hot tempura also melted through the Styrofoam containers they were in. I wish that businesses would stop using Styrofoam. While its being overpriced since it's the only Japanese restaurant in a town which already has extremely limited food options sort of makes sense, it's just not worth a third revisit for me when it comes to cleanliness and taste. On a positive note, I did take notice that the rolls I had were cut into much more manageable pieces this visit. That made it easier to chew without making a mess and looking like I lacked table manners.

    Okay, so picture... you're in a place that was a bar and grill server veal cutlets not very long…read moreago. And you order... um... what's this again? Ah, okay, Japanese tempura, sushi, sashimi, okay, got it... except, why is the television on wall playing Chinese folk songs? And why is every single person on staff speaking Mandarin? All of the "huh" factor aside, this is a credible take on a middle of the road Japanese restaurant. And c'mon, this is in Peru, Indiana, not Carmel or Fishers. So, extend a little slack, tuck in, and enjoy a pretty decent Japanese meal!
