Ginger Salad

The food here was perfect. Left full and satisfied. The service was great as well. I was well treated and taken care of. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The ambiance was very relaxed and peaceful.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

Sushi and Chinese food
Katie Z.

We popped in for a quick dinner while in downtown for a salsa class. I like that they had both Japanese sushi and Chinese dishes to choose from. My friend and I shared a California roll and the chicken with mixed vegetables dinner with fried rice. The portion size for the chicken and vegetables dinner is definitely shareable. We ended up boxing up leftovers. The chicken and mixed vegetables also came with a side salad or your choice of egg roll or Crab Rangoons. The service was fast and we received our dishes pretty quickly. I noticed they were also busy with a lot take out orders as well. Definitely would try again if I was in the area. The prices were very fair compared to a lot of other Japanese restaurants!

Sushi was good!!! Lots of choices, both classics and regulars. Had lots of noodle and appetizer dishes as well, but I was there for sushi. Small environment, so expect slower service since sushi is rolled and dishes cooked with minimal staff, but great with a lot of taste. I ordered 3 rolls and it came on a special bridge plate - super fun!

Kung Pao Chicken

I arrived at Ichiban at about 6:45. I was seated promptly. I was greeted again by a very kind server who quickly took my order and returned with my hot tea within 5 minutes. Her service after that was pretty slow. The food took a long time to come out and I had to send it back because it was cold. My egg roll came out long after the chicken dish and rice. When I got my food back it was hotter, but still not hot enough. There was a nice amount of chicken, the flavor was OK. The stir fried rice was pretty basic with egg and soy sauce. Definitely nothing special. The egg roll was pretty average too. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The atmosphere is fine and they were very busy for a Tuesday night.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I'll come back, but tonight really wasn't their night. I'll probably just stick with the sushi which I recall was pretty good.

Tucked in a hallway in downtown fort Myers, you have Ichiban! Unfortunately we came at a busy time and the service took quite a bit, but the food was generally ok. Nothing too special but got the job done for the price. Would recommend for a lunch date.

Sushi Deluxe

So, word to the wise - make reservations for dinner in advance when staying in Downtown Ft Myers in season (at least on the weekends). We found out the hard way that it's nearly impossible to get a table many places. Luckily, Ichiban was able to seat and feed us after lots of wandering around asking for tables at other places only to hear of 1-2hr waiting times. The menu lacks sushi options, but has plenty of other items depending on what you're looking for. I wanted sushi however and went for the "deluxe" option. Despite being very busy, the staff was hustling and the order came out after a moderate wait. We had some edamame to start, followed by a couple sushi combos, served with salad or miso soup. Pretty standard Japanese restaurant stuff. The sushi was more than palatable. I've had better and I've had worse. I'm general, the place was a little greasy and smelled of fried foods. It wasn't our first choice, but was fine for what it was...a place to sit down and eat on a busy night downtown with no reservations.

General Tao chicken

So happy I finally got my friend to go to this restaurant. When I was in jury duty, a police officer showed me this restaurant when we got to take a lunch break. It was really good then and it was even better this time. We tried the sweet-and-sour chicken you get two sides. I try the crab raccoons. I gotta tell you they were the best I've ever had anywhere and I've had them all over the place. My friend tried general Tao chicken. She didn't want it spicy. It wasn't, but it was flavorful and delicious. She tried the lo mein with it, which was really really good. The table next to us had sushi. It was amazing. It was like a platter that was beautiful. It was a vegetable roll. It was absolutely amazing and when I asked them, they said it was delicious. Next week will be bringing back other friends cause everybody's always just looking for a good Chinese/Japanese restaurant.

California Roll, Spring Roll (2), Eel Sauce

Ordered here from Uber Eats. It was AMAZING!! Will be ordering from here again. I can't really tell if service or ambiance was good but the food is amazing.

Ready for dinner.

This place was the bomb-diggity for sushi, killing other sushi haunts that attempt to compete. I ordered a ton of sushi rolls, which my lady and I destroyed. We didn't leave anything left -- not even ginger. Located in the mall part of the Indigo Hotel, Ichiban was glorious and good, good and glorious. We were in town to celebrate one of our friend's birthdays; the birthday girl requested a sushi celebration, which no one opposed (nor should they). I've been to many sushi bars in my time, and this one was grand, grand in a way that made me feel like a king among kings, staring intently at his rings to where the caged birds began to sing until the halls started to ring. But I digress. I ordered a few rolls for starters, such as the Volcanic Eruption, Green Dragon, and Sunshine rolls, served on a bridge -- not a boat, a bridge. All burst with tasty goodness and delight that I remembered them on my palate for many nights. Moreover, the Yellowtail Extreme roll was especially tantalizing, while the Eel sushi and Mackerel sushi we ordered on the side was a nice final touch to an evening where we washed it all down with this lovely pineapple saki for spiritual oneness. If you're passing through downtown Fort Myers, then stopping here if you have a craving for sushi is a must. If you're staying at the Indigo Hotel, then even better because Ichiban is a stroll away from the lobby entrance where you don't need to go far to eat. If you've been day drinking and need to scarf down some tasty goodness, Ichiban is king if sushi is what you are craving.

Sushi bar

Not busy. I am one of 4 people here. It's a Wednesday evening around 7pm. By the looks of downtown there are some bands playing so maybe that's why it's not busy. I ordered the Philly roll and spicy tuna. Both were fairly plain, as expected. These aren't fancy rolls. But they had a decent flavor. Fish was fresh and tender.

This is my ultimate favorite sushi EVERRRRR !!! The food is always fresh, beautifully plated and SoOoO good. I can eat from this place everyday for the rest of my life. I would 100 percent recommend this place to anyone who wants amazing sushi

Dinner
Jeff W.

Located just outside the Indigio Hotel. Nice place. Very small inside. There were 10 people inside and a large group (9) came and they had to sit outside. Service was very attentive. Food was good. I had the standard, General Tso's Chicken with white rice. My wife tried something different, Chicken and Walnuts Bento Box. My was good, nothing special. My wifes was "different". The chicken looked like it was coated in mayo. She said it good. Hmmmmm. They had a full Sushi menu, and looking back, I wished I had tried that. Some of the platters that came out looked very" presenting". Next time.

Solid choice. All fresh and delicious. Great service! We…read morehad the DaVinci, Sakura, and Naruto rolls. And we also got the kid's chicken hibachi. The rolls were exceptional. Very tasty. The hibachi was SO GOOD. Tasted like authentic hibachi. Looks like it's really popular for take out also because there were a lot of people picking up orders. Good to know, especially after a Long Beach day.

I'm so sad we haven't been in sooner because it really is a hidden gem! The plates and rolls were priced well for the portion sizes! We got the krab rangoon to start (it comes with 5 big pieces) and they were delicious. For our entrees we got a kid's habachi plate and an adult habachi plate! I got two rolls: the rock n' roll and the Philly roll. I'd come back just for the rock n' roll. It was phenomenal! We ate until we were stuffed and still had leftovers to take home. It appears that this restaurant is family owned and operated by a young family. One of the owners stopped by our table with her baby to say hi which was so sweet. She brought by treats for our boys! It makes me emotional seeing young families pursuing their dreams. With the rising cost of goods, rent, and crazy overhead costs, restaurants are doing everything they can to survive. Give this place a try if you're looking for great sushi and Japanese food! You won't regret it!

Great Korean BBQ experience with attentive service…read more Had Korean BBQ at Ember Korean Steakhouse in Fort Myers and really enjoyed the experience. The meats were flavorful, and high quality, with a good variety of options to choose from. Everything was cooked perfectly, and I especially appreciated that the staff handled the grilling for us. It made the meal much more relaxing and allowed us to focus on enjoying the food and conversation rather than managing the grill. The banchan complemented the meal nicely, and the overall quality of the food felt consistent throughout the experience. The meats were juicy, tender, and packed with flavor. Service was a standout. The staff were attentive, friendly, and regularly checked on the table while expertly grilling the meats to the right doneness. The vibe is modern, upscale, and welcoming, making it a great spot for date nights, family dinners, or special occasions. The restaurant feels polished while still maintaining the fun and social atmosphere that makes Korean BBQ so enjoyable. Overall, a fantastic Korean BBQ experience with excellent service and quality meats. Having the staff grill everything for us really elevated the meal, and I'd definitely return when visiting Fort Myers.

Today our kids asked to go back to Ember, and again it was perfection. Skyler took great care of us…read moreand was very attentive. We appreciate the communication about the new menu items for all you can eat. The new pork shoulder steak was a good addition to the AYCE lunch special. Thank you for taking care of us today. We will be back! Never a disappointment.

On this beautiful Saturday we decided to stop at Ginza for lunch. We got seated right away. near…read morewhere the sushi counter was. I couldn't believe how many people make sushi along with other dishes. Our sweet server Gabby, gave us lunch menus. I had green tea served in a little pot with extra tea bags and sugar. We noticed that the menu had changed a bit. Gabby told us that they added a few things from the dinner menu. So we started ordering. Steamed chicken dumplings, chicken katsu. Shrimp tempura, marinated snapper. Hibachi shrimp etc. Also shrimp with vegetable rice, Shrimp tempura roll, dynamite roll and David's favorite " the Bubba. Gump Roll",We ended with sharing fried cheesecake and that was something so delicious! Gabby helped us with our selections and we really enjoyed our lunch. The only negative thing I can think of is the loud music mixed with a lot of people talking lol! The portions might have been a little smaller but this gave us an opportunity to try different things. It was a great experience!

Where to eat special on a gorgeous Saturday? GINZA !!…read more So many nice options on the weekend $24.99 pp. On a newer menu. The Bubba Gump (8pc) is my new excellent. Additionally my lunch today had Yellowtail (raw)., Dynamite roll, shrimp roll, chicken Katsu, red snapper Teriyaki, Shrimp-veggie fried rice, shrimp tempura- fried (YUMMY) cheesecake- WHAT a FEAST! Small portions but mostly seafood and full but not high carbs. Need to have lunch here with my Yelp friends. More taste options to share. Our server, Gabby, did an excellent job keeping our hands and mouth busy. Primary negative- too noisy with music, cleanup crew constantly passing, the hubbub activity. The experience is always a taste treat.
