Food was amazing. And plentiful. The service was terrific. The restaurant itself is in a strip mall and non descript. The reviews were great...that is why we pulled in. I would recommend to any sushi lover. read more

I ordered delivery from this restaurant. I tried the Lunch Sashimi ($19.50 on GrubHub) and Unagi Nigiri ($8.50 on GrubHub). I discovered my new favorite sashimi piece - Escolar in their lunch set. So buttery and rich! The remaining fish arrived in generous pieces and was fresh - 12 pieces at this price is an excellent value! The delivery person was prompt and courteous - I believe he was directly employed by the restaurant, not by GrubHub. Cannot comment on the interior since I did not eat in, but it seems cute from the photos! Great food all around! read more

It's been a while since I've been to Ichiban, but I must say it's still delicious and the prices are still reasonable. I'm so happy they are still around and still have lunch specials. I got 3 sushi rolls for $15 total that's unheard of these days. Love this place! read more

Sushi was fresh and really good. Second order took a little longer than expected, but overall still a great experience. I'd come back.

I paid my bill and put everything in the packet with the signed check. Get half way to my car and a waitress comes out and says I stole the receipt. If I already signed the bill there was no reason to chase me down in in the parking lot. It was embarrassing that I had to sign a different receipt, which didn't show any of the charges. I used tip and split and still had the info to figure out what I paid. So tomorrow I'm checking my bank account to see how much they charged me read more

Tried this sushi place near my parent's house (different from our regular place) and enjoyed it! I can't remember if we liked the happy or honey roll (one was a little fishy) but we also enjoyed the spicy 2 in 1. Would order again. read more

Ichiban - Japanese Near Me - Chicago Ridge, Illinois

Such a wonderful experience! We were greeted so warmly by everyone working there and our server took the time to help my mother understand the various choices since she has a very strict diet and the recommendations were FANTASTIC! Their food is so flavorful and the portions are very good for the price point. The restaurant had a nice variety of seating options and was simple, but beautifully decorated. We absolutely will return again! read more

This place apparently does not do all you can eat anymore - at least not at 3 pm. on a Monday. We also arrived too late for the lunch specials. Upon entry, I noticed it smelled a little funky. I felt like our server was not in the best of moods. For the regular rolls, I did feel like portions were good. However, sushi was a little warm for my liking. This place was, unfortunately, a miss for me. read more

My husband and I have been coming here for years, and even the staff has watched us grow our family from one child to now pregnant with our second!! The food is absolutely astounding!!!!!!!! Always consistent, fresh, tasty, and/or hot off the grill!! No matter what you order, it will be delicious! You could literally point at the menu, and the food will be perfection!! Plus the customer service is SO incredibly friendly, attentive, and personable!!!!!! We always see the same staff there! We feel like they know us personally.

Ichiban - Triple delight, honey roll, assorted sushi - yum! - Japanese Near Me - Chicago Ridge, Illinois

We get sushi often and this was one of the best places we've had! The freshness of the sushi was incredible, it just melts in your mouth. We're visiting from Pennsylvania and were very hungry after a long day of driving and this was just what we needed. Could not recommend this place enough!! Michelle, our waitress, was amazing. She was so attentive and sweet throughout our whole dining experience. read more

Stopped in on whim with my friends on a girls' trip. We were seated quickly and the service was fantastic. My friend has a serious allergy to pineapple and once we told the waitress she was amazing at making sure pineapple was not anywhere near her food. The food was fantastic and drinks were very tasty although it isn't located in "Chicago-Chicago" we thoroughly enjoyed our meal and would eat here again. read more

​The all you-can eat menu gives you a chance to sample a lot for a small price. The menu is available Monday-Saturday until 3pm. They are closed on Wednesdays. The outside looks small but the inside is very spacious. The customer service was fantastic, everyone was very welcoming. The sushi was amazing, everything was fresh and delicious. The phoenix roll was so good that I ordered one to go. read more

Food was just good Beef fried rice was mushy and sesame chicken was deep fried and dried out. The only thing good was the white rice on the side which I used with a can of soup I had. Nice place inside but not very good food. read more

My fiancee and I are big sushi fans. We'll try a new sushi restaurant any time we have the opportunity. We were driving through the area and decided to stop in. It's in a strip mall, but it has a fairly large indoor seating area. Unfortunately, they don't offer all you can eat. They have a large variety of sushi to choose from. It's a little on the expensive side for the specialty rolls ($12-$15). I ordered a spicy tuna, sweet potato, California, and dragon roll. The sushi wasn't the greatest tasting. Nothing was spicy like it said, and overall, they were lacking in flavor. One of my rolls came with the largest/longest shrimp tails I've ever seen. The men's restroom light didn't work, and our waitress wasn't the friendliest. You do get a lot for what you order, but we didn't finish our plates. There were only a couple of people in the restaurant so it wasn't the most popular place. Overall, 3/5 stars. It wasn't the worst place I've been to. read more

I'm very big on customer Service. First of all we made a to go order and the lady on the phone kept asking me is that all after everything I ordered I would say shrimp fried rice she would say is that all that's not how it's supposed to be supposed to be after I'm done talking I tell you that's all and repeat my order please. Now the food was good. Wasn't the best great location close by my house. We got five different sushi. We got beef and broccoli orange chicken, shrimp, fried rice, chicken, Pat Thai and two orders of crab Rangoon pretty good food. They need to up the customer service. That's all read more

The food was terrible! I ordered ChIcken Hibatchi! The chicken tasted like it had been recooked several times, noddles were super dry and the fried rice tasted like it was cooked in pork grease! I DONT EAT PORK! My kids ordered orange chicken... they tolerated it but left a bunch of food on their plates. Everyone's food was disgusting and my bill was $115. Do not recommend! read more

Fresh and delish! the waitress is sooo sweet and it is always service with a smile (we have had the same one each time we went). Prices are reasonable too read more

First off, I love sushi. Trying to find a place that serves fresh and tasty sushi has been a challenge. The better places are around the downtown area. While searching the internet, I came upon Ichiban. The reviews appeared to be positive. My first trip to Ichiban, I drove past the place. I walked in, and was pleasantly surprised, it's a very nice restaurant. The servers are always friendly, and service is top notch. I don't remember how many times I've been there, anything I've ordered, it's been delicious. The sushi is made to perfection. Oh yes, I will return! read more

Strip mall sushi spots now populate virtually every urban area in the U.S. It's funny to think that 25 years ago, sushi restaurants were few and far between, and for most folks the notion of eating raw fish was completely absurd. 25 years later and they dot the landscape like fast food chains. Most people have their go-to spot for strip mall sushi, and Ichiban is probably that spot for a lot of people. They're not breaking any new ground here, but the service is good, the restaurant is clean and the sushi is delicious. I've only been there a few times for their all-you-can-eat lunch special, and at $21.95/pp the value is right there. They do offer an extensive menu that features a bigger variety of sushi, as well as Cantonese and Hibachi entrees. I would like to visit again in the evening and sample some of the other items offered on their menu. The all-you-can-eat lunch special features appetizers, pieces of nigiri, common rolls, and a selection of specialty rolls. All of the items I've had have been really good. Great spot to go for a reasonably priced, delicious lunch! read more

Small and unassuming, located in a tucked away strip mall, is a local gem called Ichiban. Very clean and nicely decorated restaurant has just enough tables to make it feel like an intimate dining setting. Staff is pleasant, quick and works hard. The Dan Dan ramen is a warm spicy broth of pure goodness. The sushi is very tasty. The are following all the Covid safety protocols and offer carryout. read more

Updating my review: I ordered dinner from here last Saturday via Grubhub, and the quality of the food seem to have went down significantly. The seaweed salad tasted a bit bitter for me, and it had a strange smell. I couldn't describe what that smell is, but it was also on my hibachi noodles. No, I'm not that crazy person that sniffs my food, but it was a very noticeable aroma as I was holding my plate and taking bites. The great things about the meal was that the miso soup was delicious, the steak was cooked to perfection, the shrimp was a good portion and tasty, the hibachi fried rice is good, and the fried gyozas had the perfect sauce. It wasn't bad overall, I'd probably skip the hibachi noodles that came with the meal and the seaweed salad next time, and I'd probably stick with the sushi rolls as those were good last time I ordered from here. read more

For lunch we tend to order the sashimi, and smile. Dinner gets a little more expansive and even tastier. I am so grateful that this place survived COVID. Never a disappointment, and the staff is professional, extremely pleasant. read more

From the outside the place doesn't look like much but don't let that deter you. The inside is beautiful and spacious. The prices were standard. Five stars for the sushi! It was delicious and fresh. The Mai Tai was so good I had to have 2. Our waiter was nice and helpful. When we return we won't be getting the hibachi as it was just ok. If you are expecting a hibachi performance then this is not the place for you. They didn't have hibachi tables. I took away a star because the hostess sneezed in her hand and wiped her nose. Didn't bother to go wash her hands or use sanitizer. That was a big turn off for us. read more

It is not ayce on Sunday, but that is not advertised until you are sat. The prices are unreasonable to order by the roll.

Hi I wanted to order any specialty sushi rolls without imitation crab meat ( self explanatory in my opinion) A: We only use imitation crab meat we don't use real crab meat. Me: That's why I want any speciality sushi rolls without imitation crab meat. Pick anything you want just make sure no imitation crab meat inside. A: I don't have time for this there is a lot of phone orders waiting Me: Ok take care of them! I won't bother you ever again. PS Real crab meat is available at Business Costco for $25 you can make 20 easy. But why use real stuff if you could use trash food for 1/4 price Won't ever see me again. read more
