    Sashimi appetizer

    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.

    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!

    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.

    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!

    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.

    We've been ordering a lot from them during the pandemic for pickup, but only recently got a chance to dine-in. Delightful experience all around, definitely a gem! Honey roll is a favorite!

    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.

It's not Chinatown cuisine by any means but there is always a time and place for hibachi as a group or orange chicken. Staff is very friendly. As of April 2026 there is some kind of renovations happening inside, though it seems operations are fine. Interior is super spacious even with the construction. Parking lot also looks like it was recently refreshed outside.

We have dined-in, used carry out, and even catered for Christmas parties. We loved this place, until my most recent experience. On Tuesday, June 23, I wanted sushi and panang curry for my birthday dinner. It's a 30 minute drive from my house so 1 hour round trip to get carry out. I love their food so I was willing to make the trip - I ordered $160+ worth of food for a family of 5. Pick up was no problem. However, the overall quality of the food was TERRIBLE - super bland with all of the sushi rolls and even my fave roll from there, Godzilla was just AWFUL - didn't taste anything like it normally does. Three-fourths of the order was sushi so that was super disappointing. My daughters' chow mein didn't have any noodles - it was just straight vegetables. She wouldn't eat it bc she wanted the noodles. The panang curry was the only thing that tasted good, but that was only a small part of the order. I was able to speak to the manager (Peg) on the phone a couple days later and explained to her my experience and she basically acted like I was lying, making the whole thing up. That I was supposed to save the food we didn't eat in a cooler and bring it back to the restaurant that day to get some form of refund. That was the policy. Not only that, she also said their recipe has not changed nor had anyone else complain about the food that day. I explained that we already threw out the food so that wouldn't be feasible and she basically said then there was nothing she could do and that she had to follow this policy. I'm sorry but I'm not driving an hour to return the bad food that a restaurant served me - 1. How is that sanitary? 2. Why are you calling a loyal long time customer basically a liar? 3. What kind of customer service doesn't offer anything to a customer that had a bad experience at your restaurant? She didn't seem to care when I told her that MY FAMILY AND I WILL NEVER COME BACK! I couldn't believe that's how a manager would treat a customer especially one that had been coming back for many years and recommends it to others. NEVER AGAIN! BOTTOM LINE: RUN, this place has definitely gone downhill and their customer service is the worse I've ever seen. The only way to save this place is fire that manager, fix the quality of your food, and treat your customers better

The ordering process via ipad was easy; we just passed it around and hit the submit button at the end. The sauce bar had a lot of choices, and they had a small dessert bar as well. Overall, it's just what you'd expect so there are no hidden charges like "broth charge extra", etc like Happy Lamb. Meat and vegetable quality was good overall; fresh. Our server Mimi was on point and was great at her job, so kudos. Two things that were slightly annoying which prevented the 5 star rating were: 1) 18% gratuity for party of 5 or more; just another way to apply a price adder I guess. 2) photographer took our photos then then tried to sell us each framed picture for $20 each. A bit dear, and I would've bought them if they were $10 ea. Other than that, it's a nice place to have a meal.

Pros: The place was clean, the food was quality, the service fast, and friendly. Cons: Two sets of tongs for a family of four. All the sauce ingredients with no measurements on the listed recipes. I do have my own base stir-fry sauce I do at home that I was able to make. - The Sauce and tongs is why a one star deduction. The favorite was definitely the grill. Their base marinades don't need sauces. I did use my aforementioned sauce to flavor things like the plain chicken one of my kids ordered. Hot Pot: 1 Miso and 3 Toms. Two of us thought the Tom was not good. One thought it was okay. The Miso was liked... but as the youngest chose it and was randomly throwing stuff in there... Well her cooking skills need help, but that's not on them. Overall it was a better experience than I expected, even being the one to cook 90% of it. It was a good fun family outing. If/when we do this again, I'll likely ask if I can try other soup bases. Maybe using their mini sauce bowls before committing. Note: I do strongly suggest doing your homework if you are unfamiliar with this type of faire. We did. It enriches the experience. I'll likely bring a note sheet on sauce recipes. If you have more than two people, bring extra tongs. (I did ask for more, but didn't get more - Unsure if this is protocol or oops.)
