Best sushi in the area. I was really skeptical about trying sushi near fort Leonard wood as this is a landlocked state and a small town. Didn't think there would be good sushi but I was wrong. Very impressed. Will be back many times during my stay here. read more

Ichiban - Sushi Bars Near Me - Saint Robert, Missouri

Too bad this is one out of the two sushi spots in the area. I haven't tried their Hibachi yet, but since I'm used to Benihanas, i think i'll pass. This post will just be about their sush. I don't remember what I ordered, but i know it was a mixture of sushi, sashimi, and sake. 1. Sushi/Sashimi = very fishy (indicating its old) the sushi guys realized i wasn't touching my food so they gave me some kind of tuna carpaccio which was so drenched in sauce the fish was indistinguishable. Thank you, but meh. You can't hide old fish with a shit ton of sauce ‍ This spot is super popular amongst locals, but i'm a spoiled LA girl living in the woods. ‍ Thank God for Sake to wash things down read more

On NYE, I went here with my friends. There was only four of us so we ended up sharing a hibachi table with two other parties. The food was great and everything went smoothly. I definitely would like to go back to try their sushi dishes. It was extremely busy, so make sure if its a holiday you plan ahead for a crowded restaurant. I recommend going here for sure! read more

We had a large group at a hibachi table for dinner and no one went home hungry! Our chef was funny and kept us all entertained while he fed us. Most of us had a hibachi entree, there were some drinks and several sushi rolls. Everything tasted great and filled us up. Service was very attentive, even for such a large group. Deff a spot worth visiting if your in the Ft Leonard Wood area! read more

Me and my wife like going here. Although I am not a fan of the hibachi show in general It is rather entertaining. They do offer booth seating and have enjoyed eating here. Sushi is made from the sushi bar and it is good. Pricing for the area is good. read more

This place is awesome. The sushi and hibachi are incredible. We asked what sushi rolls are popular, and they provided us with multiple options, we regularly go there every week. We usually go for the hibachi and every option there is very delicious, while they prep the area and wait for the cook we order multiple sushi and eat the as the appetizer. We are not disappointed with anything. read more

The food is good, but not great. I did not have the hibachi, just sushi and tonkatsu. It wasn't bad at all, just not four or five stars. Service was great. The waiter kept my ice tea topped off and was very personable. I ate here twice and there just wasn't anything there to make me want to go back. read more

By far one of the best sushi restaurant I have experienced dining. The selections and quantity of the portion is more than I expected. read more

Ichiban - Love Boat for 2. - Sushi Bars Near Me - Saint Robert, Missouri

The food is always delicious and watching the chef grill all of the food is always fun. My kids liked the onion volcano. You can sit at a table without the hibachi in front of you, but that is not nearly as fun! The grill is part of the experience, but the table is faster because sometimes there is a wait for the grill. read more

Loved the atmosphere, only used the seating at sushi area since we had our 1 year old and know he wouldn't sit still for the hibachi show. But we got the love bot for 3 and it was delicious. The boat and decorations l/ presentation was really nice. The shashimi was decently sized too. Some people will complain it's pricey. But you get what u pay for when it comes to sushi. read more

I'll start with the food - it was delicious. However, after an hour wait being told it would 15 to 20 minutes upon arrival at 6 pm was quite a blow to the experience. Our initial request was for Hibachi over the traditional dining experience but during our extended wait we realized we would be seated with a family of four who had a screaming child who the parent had taken outside twice already because of her out of control behavior. Don't worry about the shoes the child kicked off in the middle of the floor as the mom dragged her out. When the manger told us we would be seated for Hibachi dinning and it would be with that family (the only other waiting customer at that time).... Really?!? Not for me lady - maybe it was a tough night but no thanks. read more

Very nice restaurant with very good service. Nice sushi. The crispy duck salad and fried calamari are good. They have several hibachi grills and a full bar with a cocktail program. It's a really nice meal. read more

So here's my deal. Ichiban makes amazing sushi for the area but ouch does it hit your wallet hard. And if you are ordering from regular role that's around 5 bucks, skinniest roles I've ever bought. That's a little disappointing. I love salmon rolls. But all I get is these skinny barely a layer of rice a grain thick. read more

Nice ambiance, service is great, but for the price you get very little food and the food is tooooo salty. I'm a super healthy person and this messes up my system. The next morning I'm unable to put on my wedding ring. Plus, I feel like their food is full with MSG, with makes one addictive and requires the body to grave it over and over. Very typical with Asian foods. read more

Overall the main meal was great; however, the miso soup was served barely lukewarm and borderline cold. Also I could tell the salad was pre-made hours beforehand and kept in a refrigerator as it was soggy. The salad dressing wasn't good either and they put on way too much. I wish they would offer other types of salad dressings as the one they use is like thousand island with ginger and maybe soy sauce added. Wasn't impressed at all. Again, the main course was really good. I ordered the sushi and sashimi combo. This was the reason I gave them 3 stars; otherwise, they would have gotten two. On a last note, my friend I was with ordered the steak and lobster hibachi combo and the steak was good well on the outside but totally raw on the inside. And when I say raw I mean totally uncooked. Like jelly beef on the inside. Needless to say, I will never go back there. read more

Made a reservation beforehand and gave our name to the hostess somehow never got seated. She was walking around not saying anything or telling us to wait or anything. We even saw the reservation list and our name was right there. After waiting around for 15 to 20 minutes and watching other people being seated we left. No apologies what so ever. Also no social distancing practised in the restaurant. read more

Not a long wait, but almost every employee was wearing head phones or air pods while they were working, and did not hear a damn thing customers were saying to them!! Took way too long to get your first drink, let alone another one. Food was good, but wouldnt pay attention enough to someone who wouldnt want something. I would recommend these managers pay way more attention. They also did not ask for ID when my husband and lady next to us ordered beer. My husband looks 16. come on now. do better. The waiter also just threw our check book into my salad and got dressing all over it. STEP UP YOUR GAME. read more

So far the food is just awesome! Did a couple of takeouts from here and we will try to eat in next time. Awesome thick slices and sashimi. If you like raw fish, this is the place to visit. Granted the cooked food style is more Korean than Japanese, everything still tasted great! read more

Called and made reservations for 7 for a birthday dinner arrived and ended up having to squeeze 7 people in a corner with three behind the cook it's a Hibachi mind you so I paid way to much for members of my party to sit with the cooks butt in their face the whole time. The food is typically good the service however was garbage. read more

What a wonderful experience. AJ for made our evening. In our arrival the initial reaction was of a very clean and well appointed restaurant. We were seated immediately and the service was very timely. The tastes were good, for what I ordered. Chicken & Shrimp Hibachi was my selection. Nothing really extraordinary in taste. But the Hibachi Chef AJ made the meal special. Very personable and funny. A genuine human that connected with our group live family. I would recommend Ichiban & AJ as your Hibachi Chef to anyone. read more

Great sashimi, very clean place. The hibachi guys do a good job at keeping people entertained

I have been forced here a few times. It's never very good and the service is lacking. Definitely not worth the price.

This place is amaazing! Have been here 3 times now and they have absolutely not disappointed me. Food is always delicious and the entertainment is enjoyable. Will continue to come back! read more

Ichiban - Hibachi Grill - Sushi Bars Near Me - Saint Robert, Missouri

Me and my husband started eating here pretty regularly since we moved here last year. This is probably one of the fancier places here in town. The service has usually been pretty good and their hibachi chefs do how to put on a show. My favorite waiter there is James. read more

Every time I go here I give it another chance but this is by far the worst Japanese food I've ever had. The teriyaki chicken is just dry grilled chicken with a little teriyaki sauce on it. It's very gross. read more

Not bad! Yes fish is fresh and good in the mid west. I had fantastic sushi, hamachi and nigiri and a dragon roll. Hubby had a dragon roll too and some shrimp. His daughter had a steak and it was super good. We didn't do hibachi but i bet that's good too. The waitress was super nice and prompt. Hubby kept making jokes and she had good come back lined. I recommend this place it's quite good. read more

this place was great! I've eaten at many Japanese restaurants near Chicago and on vacation and was really impressed here. The food was great and the chef entertaining. Would recommend this as the go-to place to take your soldier for graduation! read more

This place is so dope, we went to this place after my brothers graduation and trust me that kitchen inside this place is fantastic. After spending 10 weeks in BCT, it was actually an awesome experience for my brother and kinda mind relieving experience as well. That sushi was delicious. we really want to order another round of sushi as an appetizer but then we need to have our main course as well, so we avoided that. If you graduated and looking for a family lunch or whatever, I would recommend this place for sure. In budget for sure Enjoy!!!!! read more

Wonderful place the environment is great and the food is absolutely amazing. The chefs are very friendly and an all around enjoyable experience read more

Delicious food and a gorgeous restaurant. Food is beautiful to look at, as well as tasty! Staff is always smiling and friendly. They make excellent drinks as well. Great place to celebrate anniversaries, birthdays, promotions, etc. Take out is quick and they've never forgotten to give us anything or messed up an order. read more

Ichiban is a godsend, especially to those who are used to having a ton of good sushi restaurants within a 5mi radius (I'm from Seattle). I've been to Ichiban a handful of times (4-5 occasions), and have been pleased every single time. I've taken part in both the regular restaurant seating and the Hibachi seating, which by the way is very entertaining! THE FOOD: I am a big nigiri and sashimi guy and the fish is always pretty fresh and delicious! I've ordered salmon, tuna, yellowtail, super white tuna, and Japanese snapper sushi, which were all great! On a side note, don't consume too much super white tuna, which is otherwise known as "escolar," because escolar (a type of snake mackerel) cannot metabolize the wax esters naturally found in its diet -- this leads to excessive oil in the fish and can lead to gastrointestinal symptoms (make sure you're near a bathroom!) I've also had the pork katsu and chicken teriyaki, which are pretty difficult to cook poorly. THE SERVICE: The waitresses and waiters here are phenomenal! They're very genuine in their actions and they are very friendly -- props to the management for creating such a positive atmosphere! I will definitely come to Ichiban time and time again. The restaurant atmosphere is great as it is multi-dimensional due to its Hibachi grill, sushi bar, alcohol bar, and regular booth/table seating. I like the interior design of the place as well! Great for date nights and regular nights! Although food is subjective, I honestly think this is one of the best restaurants in the area. read more

Ichiban is my go to! Absolutely love this place! Only critiques is depending on the chef, they vary on the amount of sauce they put on your veggies and meat. Also sushi rolls are good but a bit large. Overall though, I would recommend. I eat here a lot. read more

It is good for St Roberts but due to Covid the waits are a but longer than normal. Only thing I wish I got more of was vegetables. I would go back though. read more

I really like this place. It's in the old chopsticks. The atmosphere is fun but not crazy or loud (depending on which section you're in) The sushi is reasonably priced and tastes pretty fresh for the mid west. The hibachi is yummy. I got the chicken and shrimp, it's delicious. Calamari is delicious Edamame is yummy Kids say the miso is good And the salad is good! So it was a good experience. read more

Glad St Robert finally has a legit sushi place. It is a bit pricey for the area but if you're use to living in a big town the prices aren't bad at all. Sushi is fresh and well prepared, staff is friendly, bar has decent prices. They also have hibachi which was so good. Overall I'm very impressed!! read more

Finally a good sushi restaurant is around FLW area. I was honestly surprised by both the modern look of the restaurant as well as the food brought out. I got the sushi boat for $60 and hot sake and everything was delicious. The manager was very hospitable and we even got a complimentary appetizer. Prices are great for the type of food and is worth the price compared to Ocean Buffet or others. The lunch sushi menu is cheap as well and good. Best place to eat in town for sushi or hibachi! read more

Ichiban - Sushi sashimi boat for two - Sushi Bars Near Me - Saint Robert, Missouri

This is one of the very few good restaurants in the St. Robert/Fort Leonard Wood area. Considering that Ichiban is a very land-locked establishment, and serving an area where lower quality sushi would likely satisfy most consumers, the fish almost always tastes very fresh, i.e. ninety percent of the time and depending on the type of fish one orders. Ichiban sushi chefs create FANTASTIC rolls, and the hibachi is made very well (and fun to order, of course.) Nice bar area too! Overall, prices are reasonable EXCEPT for the 'Filet Mignon.' The one and only time I ordered this, the 'filet' was a very small cut of thin and not-so-tender beef. Huge disappointment. read more

I love this place and I would say at this point I am pretty addicted! The chef specialty sushi is amazing. The hibachi is fun but I enjoy sitting at the sushi bar and watching the sushi Chef work his magic. I have not tried anything here that I do not absolutely love! Service is fast and friendly! read more
