    Lunch specials

    Excellent food service and ambience. Everything is fresh and very delicious. Sushi is fantastic

    The one redeeming star goes to the server who tried her best! Food was lukewarm, limp, and generally unappealing nevertheless, I don't cook Chinese food, so I guess it was better than my own... the beef didn't look very perky and tasted a little slimy in texture. It was overall just a not very good meal in a quite outdated and rundown decor of a place. Portion sizes were very small, which is not really something you expect from Chinese food, right? I've never actually seen yellow pork fried rice... Tasted a bit like dishwater. But as I said, the server did her best.

    The car!

    We were driving thru Florence on our way home, and decided to get some lunch before stopping in Eugene. Our original plan was to try Hukilau again, but the line was so long that we decided to try Ichiban instead. To be honest, the sole reason I chose Ichiban was because of the pictures on Yelp! When I saw a picture of the vintage car in the dining room, i thought I'd be a fool not to check it out! When we arrived, there was no one around except two Asian ladies (owners?) in the dining area. They quickly greeted us and took our order right away. I ordered the spider roll, while my boyfriend ordered the lunch bento box special. Since it's covid time, we were not allowed to dine in. However, the owner allowed us to wait in the room with the vintage car! (Yes, I sat in that car and had my boyfriend take pics). It felt a bit unreal to sit in a pink room with a car covered with the orange flames. My boyfriend and I came up a bunch of conspiracies how the car ended up there, and we (mostly me) agreed it was worth stopping in for! Since we were there for the car, we had very little expectations for the food. I think my spider roll was alright, everything was fresh and well wrapped. It's not sushi house quality but pretty decent. However, we were impressed by their bento special! Everything was delicious and the honey chicken blew my boyfriend away! "I really like the honey chicken!" He said", and i replied "I know." The chicken was hot and crunchy, while the sauce has this honey like taste. According to my boyfriend, it's like orange chicken but more subtle and delicious! I'm a picky eater for authentic Chinese cooking, but I also appreciate a good Chinese-American restaurant, since it's part of the American culinary heritage. This place has a great bento box which come with tons of delicious Chinese staples (stir-fried noodles/rice, tempura shrimps, and of course the delicious honey chicken!) and THE CAR! I'd recommend both to anyone who seeks a good Chinese-American bento and a quirky old school diner feel!

    This is not chow fun.

    Disappointed. I ordered chow fun. That means flat, thin noodles. Instead I got what looks like spaghetti pasta. Very little sauce or chicken. Very little taste. Ordered take out, so I didn't bother driving across town to complain. My wife got cashew chicken. It was okay. Just okay. The dog even turned his nose away from it. Don't think we'll be back anytime soon.

    The only reason I'm not giving this restaurant 5 stars is the lack of ambiance. Food, service & value for your $ was all 5 stars. This is not a sushi restaurant. They are doing "dine" in during COVID. Limited space. Friendly service. It looks like they want to have a sushi bar. But maybe it's too much? Seems like a sweet family business. They have a full bar with fancy cocktails. Several types of Asian beers. Sake & plum wine also. Easy to find right off 101.

    I've been here (only for lunch) several times. This is a sprawling restaurant with a full menu of both Japanese and Chinese dishes. Plenty of lunch special combos priced moderately. I usually get the sushi or sashimi combo plates, sometimes with a couple of nigiri sushi ala carte. Surprisingly fresh and tasty fish for a small town country restaurant. Friendly service and nice presentation too. A different section of the restaurant has a full bar that gets lively at times. Recommended stop if you're pas

    Saba nigiri and yellowtail sashimi

    This place is awesome! Fantastic service and great food...I totally recommend it! The sake is yummy and extra hot. Take a look yourself. They also have a full bar.

    Good for Japanese food but the Chinese food is mediocre. Sushi bar is good if you like that sort of thing. Ample portions for good prices.

    Love the sushi, so good!!!! If you visit, get the Japanese soda. If you are a fan of oriental Japanese food, this is the place!

    Teriyaki Chicken was really flavorful! Also had philly roll and spicy tuna roll which were both good as well. Overall pleasant experience!

    I have enjoyed everything I have tried. I always stop when I am in town and have dinnerread more

    Food 4/5 Servix…read moreTo-go only and containers 2/5 Finally made it here after a year. They open at 11:30. Food is to-go, though, you can sit at a table and eat it but it is still in to-go containers. We ordered a miso soup and sushi combination that comes with a salad, 2 tuna & 2 salmon nigiri sushi and 8 pieces of California roll. This was plenty for 2 for lunch and would be great even for dinner. The miso was ok and the sushi combo was good. The fish was fresh and tasty. The roll was good, too. I'm not especially into rolls but it is good for lunch. The salad was fresh and good sized. It came with what tasted like a mayo based dressing but I made my own with rice vinegar, sugar and a bit of sesame oil. I have to say I'm surprised it was that good. The sushi was better than expected for a to-go place. I really don't like to-go containers. I even bring my own to restaurants so I don't add to the plastic or styrofoam problem so this will be the dilemma in deciding whether to come back here. Maybe I can convince them to give it to me in parchment or in my own containers. I would love if this place would open for regular lunch and dinner service. This would be a great addition!

    Salad is fresh & tasty. I didn't care for the dressing but made my own with rice vinegar, sugar and a touch of toasted sesame oil.
