Ichiban Japanese Steakhouse - Shrimp pad Thai (to go) - Japanese Near Me - Concord, New Hampshire

I got a two sushi rolls and miso soup for take out and I didn't really like it. The fish didn't seem that fresh and it had a strange taste to it. The inside looked okay. It is pretty pricey for what you get as well. If I lived here I don't think this would be my go to. read more

Love it here! We have been 3 times now. The second time for hibachi, they used extra garlic and butter and that made it amazing. They didn't do that automatically the next time so we will ask next time. We have had the chicken and sukiyaki and both are excellent. The gyoza are also good. It's clean, the waitstaff is friendly. As expected for hibachi, it can be loud and hard to hear your party if you go on a weekend. We found early on a Wednesday night is pretty perfect! read more

I am sorry but the waitstaff seems only wanting to be order takers. No refills on tea, water, not checking in to see if you need anything else, or once you are done never ask if you want dessert. Please care about your customers as we really like your place but upon entering a very nasty blonde girl greets you after waiting 8-10 minutes wondering if someone was going to seat us. Sorry she does not want to be working and if she is having a bad day it isn't the customers problem. Glad this was not our first time here or we would not be back. Another customer behind us almost left I did say it's usually very good. As we were leaving they asked was service usually this poor. We told them no we just think it was a very off night. Please look into this if you care. read more

The restaurant was pretty dead. The waitress was kind and attentive. The restaurant was impeccably clean. I ordered the Clear Mushroom soup for lunch. It was hot and delicious. They brought it out quickly and came to see how I liked it. This is a great place for good quality inexpensive Japanese food. read more

The food was good. We had a mango roll and vegetable tempura. We felt very rushed. Upon entering someone should have mentioned they were closing soon. It was very early evening The restrooms were filthy ! read more

Called at 4:17 for reservation for 7. It was not done. A mistake I can overlook and forgive. The complete rudeness of the person at the door, no. read more

Over the years, Ichiban used to be one of my absolute favorite spots, especially for hibachi. It was the full experience that kept us coming back: the energy, the entertainment, the food, and of course, the lively chefs who made it all feel like a celebration. Unfortunately, that spark has completely disappeared. During my last few visits, the hibachi experience has been nothing short of disappointing. The chefs barely engage with the table anymore. They don't talk, they skip the saki tradition, and the once-joyful atmosphere feels cold and rushed. It genuinely feels like they've lost all interest in putting on a show, and that's a huge letdown considering the price you're paying. The experience is supposed to include the performance, the energy, and the fun. Without that, what's the point? It's clear that something has changed behind the scenes. Management really needs to step up and address whatever is going on because it's obvious the staff no longer has the passion or motivation they once did. As someone who used to recommend Ichiban to everyone, it's sad to say I no longer feel excited to return. read more

Every time we come into town we go here and it's always great food and great entertainment by the chef making our meal. Thanks Ichiban!

First time I ever went to a Japanese Steakhouse and the chef did not offer Sake to anyone at our table. Place does have plenty of parking and can handle very large groups. Food however was forgettable with Rice undercooked, tenderloin steak ordered medium was overcooked and Shrimp was rubbery. No major issues with service and drinks came out in a timely manner. Hopefully the below average experience is a one off. read more

The drinks were terrible. I got the Tokyo rose, which i couldn't drink and i had to return. I figured maybe it just wasn't for me, so i ordered a drink i usually like at most restaurants, an espresso martini. This espresso martini was made with espresso, cream and vodka and that's it. It wasn't sweet, it was extremely bitter, and they didn't shake it to create any foam on top. My espresso martini glass also had a lipstick mark on it from a previous customer which should've been noticed by the bartender or the server. So i had to send that drink back too, and decided to just have water. The food was okay, but nothing to write home about. The bathroom was extremely messy, toilet paper and paper towel littering all over the counters and floors. read more

I was visiting from NY and stopped in. We had great & friendly service. The food was great. Try this place.

A good restaurant, but over the years their decor has been falling apart- especially in the dining room on the left of the main entrance. Food is good, and their menu is a great starting place for those who have not had a lot of Japanese food. I've gone a few times, and had my first hibachi there. Good restaurant, would be five stars if the decor was cleaned up. read more

We had a group lunch outing there for someone retiring and it was pretty good. We used 2 of the hibachi tables and everyone except 1 went with the hibachi dinners, beef, chicken, shrimp and I had the salmon. A good show doing the food preparation and plenty to eat with the fried rice. The Salmon was very good, nicely prepared, a good meal. It was a bit empty but maybe that was since it was lunch time and it might be busier for dinner. read more

Very good for food. I had the Sashimi and it was good. Typical american Japanese food. But it was very good.

Reviewing BEEF PAD THAI - Very disappointed that they don't make it with peanut sauce! They should call it something else in this case... It was delicious but not what I wanted. read more

Ichiban Japanese Steakhouse - Beef Pad Thai - Japanese Near Me - Concord, New Hampshire

Great place for sushi and pad Thai! This is a regular place I pickup from! Never eaten in, as I'm always at work so wouldn't know anything about ambiance and service - the food is always on point and very much a fan of chicken karaage! Yummm read more

The food was fantastic, tuna was fresh, and steaks were prepared perfectly. The chef had amazing knife skills but I have seen better crowd involvement at other locations. The restaurant was clean and perfectly lit, we were seated very quickly despite being busy. The prices were right in the realm of normal for hibachi. Over all it was a great time. I would have liked to see some more local beers on the list but there was plenty of ones that fit my liking, I will definitely return next time I'm in the area read more

I am only giving three stars because of their COVID procedures or lack thereof. According to a sign on the wall, there should be at least two seats between people in the Hibachi room, but every party was only one seat away. I guess COVID rules are optional in New Hampshire. Besides that, we really enjoyed our meal. The chefs and waitresses were entertaining and pleasant. The food was good and exactly how we expected it to be. If you're looking for a great place to watch the flaming volcano, then you should make your way to Ichiban Japanese Steakhouse. read more

On 10/1/23 I ordered eel sushi and pork Lo Mein. The sushi was very warm, almost hot. It should have been cold. It was also tiny pieces, no bigger around than a dime. (Six were included) for $8.99! The Lo Mein- I ordered PORK, and got chicken. It was overcooked, very slimy, super sweet and absolutely disgusting!!! I've never had Lo mein sweet like this was. $28 and change, plus a tip for picking it up myself. All thrown in the trash, right where it belonged!!! I do NOT recommend!! Yuck! read more

We didn't go in for the hibachi this time. Sat in the regular dinning area. Were waited on very fast. Food arrived but it was a bit cold. . Ordered hibachi steak and shrimp . And extra noodles. Food still tasted good . Ordered a few drinks that were very very strong . But decently good read more

We had a wonderful experience at Ichiban! Not only was the food delicious, but everything was wonderful. The staff were really interactive when they were making hibachi. The place itself was really nice too and just fun to be there! read more

Ichiban has potential. To bad they are cutting the wrong corners to make a profit. Food/Drink. Food was cooked to perfection. Extremely delicious. Portions a little on the smaller side for what I paid. I ordered the steak and scallop hibachi combo. My steak was barely 6oz and the scallops were bay not sea scallops. So the really small ones that are not as good. I've never ordered scallops for hibachi and was served bay. Kinda a rip off. Just sayin. Drinks. Well I do not recommend drinking the sake they squirt at you. It tasted salty and disgusting. The drinks that we had ordered, were fairly descent. Cleanliness/Atmosphere. Very clean and beautiful inside, but...... I had to send back my plate for being filthy with caked on food as well as a sake cup. Both dirty and should not of been placed out for guests. Two dirty dishes in one visit. Also the hibachi room was uncomfortably cold. I know it's winter, but come on. I shouldn't have to wear my jacket at dinner. Service. Very prompt and extremely friendly. Cost. Well the food to what I got and portion size was extremely high compared to other hibachi restaurants. Drinks were fairly priced. I was surprised. I thought beverages would of been higher compared to the absurd price for food compared to the portion size and what your actually getting. Will I be back, eh probably not in the foreseeable future. There's better hibachi and sushi places a short ride away. So I say half a star for Food/Drink, cleanliness and atmosphere and cost. A star for service and sadly I would not recommend Ichiban. As the corners they cut to save did them zero favors. I was shivering during my dinner, had to send a plate and a glass back for cleanliness. Bay scallops vs sea scallops. A small steak. Ichiban is just not worth it. So my finale rating is 2.5 stars. Unfortunately you have to round up. 3 stars. read more

There food is fresh with flavor always served hot, and the prices are good as well as service.

We recently visited Iciban for the first time. The place was clean and lively. We had reservation and they took us right away. The service was quick, personal, and efficient. The Chef was the best yet. The soup was outstanding. The salad was good, it needed a little more dressing. The fired rice with extra egg was award winning. It had a more peppery taste that I really loved. Made it different then every other Japanese steak house. My wife and I ordered the Filet Mignon, rare. One at our table ordered the regular steak. The food was cooked perfect and seasoned perfectly. However, I am sad to tell you I did not get the Filet, but the standard steak. You ask how I know? Well, my father-in-law is a butcher and has taught me a lot plus filet does not have sinew in it and is very tender. My steak was tasty but not the most tender. Not sure how this happened but we will try this restaurant again and keep our eye on what meat goes where. Has potential to be a Five Star. read more

Atmosphere was fun and staff was friendly and helpful. The food itself was not that great. The fried rice was heavy and greasy without much flavor. The steak was tough and chewy. read more

Everyone very friendly. Service was very good however the chef not that excited to be there. Not sure if he was just having an off day. I've been to many restaurants with this venue and found it to be much better. We might go back if we get a different chef. I would say that this place would get 5 stars if they just trained their Chef's how to be more entertaining. Drinks were great and very strong! read more

We arrived for lunch for 11 am when they first opened. On arrival they stated there was a 20-25 minute wait. We were the first and only ones there. The staff had just started cleaning the facility ( mopping and cleaning the tables that were left dirty from the night before. although the food is usually fantastic. I wouldn't get there early or pick a different place if you are in a hurry. read more

After a small house-fire early Christmas morning, we decided to have christmas dinner at Ichiban ("A Christmas Story" style.) We sat at a grill and was given a nice show by the chef as he prepared our food. The presentation, quality, flavor, and value of everything was good. Everyone agreed the meal saved our Christmas day. Our only complaint was the place was extremely drafty. The place is huge and they decided to only heat the room with the grills that they had guests seated in. This caused cold air to rush in under our chairs from every direction. Even with a few cups of tea (and a few complaints to the waitstaff,) we were glad to get into our warm cars when the meal was over. read more

Ichiban Japanese Steakhouse - Sushi goes best when paired with glowing blue light. - Japanese Near Me - Concord, New Hampshire

Recently, I stopped in at Ichiban on Manchester Street for a late lunch. I arrived here around 2:53 PM and was promptly seated in the quiet dining room and given a dinner menu. I was aware that lunch is served until 3PM Mon-Sat since I reviewed the takeout menu before coming here. The waitress arrives at my table shortly after I'm seated and I ask for a lunch menu and I was told it was dinner time. I then took out my cellphone displaying 2:58 PM and the waitress reluctantly scurried back to the kitchen and came back saying I could still order lunch, the customer is always right! For lunch, I ordered the Ton Katsu Lunch Box ($9) which included salad, California roll, white rice, and 2 spring rolls. The salad had fresh iceberg lettuce, carrots, and tomatoes, topped with a tangy creamy ginger dressing. The Lunch Box arrived quickly after I finished the salad. The ton katsu was very tender boneless pork coated in a crispy breading, not too greasy with dipping sauces. The California roll was very tasty with seasticks and avocado. The white rice had a soft texture, slightly sticky. The spring rolls was light and crispy filled with cabbage & carrot, not too greasy. Overall, the food I had was very good, fresh, and tasty. The portion of food was just right for lunch, yet filling. Once things were straightened out in the beginning, the service was prompt and went very smoothly. read more
