The sushi was vaguely passable but not very fresh and tasted of freezer/was too watery to feel fresh. Unfortunately my partner made the mistake of trying Ichiban Sushi's chicken pad thai, which was one of the most peculiar and unappetizing textures I have ever had the displeasure of being surprised by. The noodles and vegetables were cooked okay, like a microwaved meal with a cloyingly sweet sauce (no balance to acid or sourness), but the "chicken" pieces were a horrifying, gelatinous texture unlike any protein I have ever had. It was like we were eating chicken gummy snacks that disintegrated in your mouth. He didn't eat any of it unfortunately so we shared my 5/10 food and left. We won't be returning read more

Decided to dine in while waiting. When I walked in, no one was in the restaurant and the waiter and presumably cook/owner were laying down in the booths. So when I walked in, the door bell chimed, and they jumped right up lol Got the Chicken lo mein and a domestic bottled beer When the food came out, the Women waitress KEPT STARRING AT ME . OMG, ONCE I EVEN I LOOKED DIRECTLY AT HER FOR A FEW SECONDS AND COULD SEE HER STARRING AT ME IN THE CORNER OF MY EYES. LIKE, SHE WAS LOCKED IN ON ME. SO WEIRD. I felt SO UNCOMFORTABLE. I barely ate there. This place is best to have food delivered, and not dine in read more

Ichiban - Real Spicy Crab Roll and Shrimp Tempora Roll - Sushi Bars Near Me - Stevensville, Maryland

I never thought a place that had Japanese and Chinese dishes would be good but they proved me wrong. The volcano roll was my absolute favorite and their hand rolls are pretty big. Tasty rolls, large American style Chinese food portions and friendly service. Love that they're so close to us. read more

Everything about this place is amazing. I have not found a fresh sushi close by to me so I take this drive over the bridge just to have the best experience in sushi and drinks. We love going here for lunch or dinner and we are never disappointed. Great customer service and delicious meals. Miso soup and the salad are always fresh and great temperature. I will say this is one of the best spots on this side of town to get fresh sushi. read more

Came here for a lunch with some friends. It was freezing inside. We sat down and ordered our sushi. They have some pretty decent prices for their lunch specials. I did the 3 rolls for 12$ I got shrimp/crab, eel and shrimp tempura rolls. The lunch special comes with a choice of soup or salad. I got miso soup since it was freezing. Soup was good but a bit salty. Rolls were okay. The eel was pretty good flavor rice. The shrimp and crab just seemed plain to me and the shrimp tempura was uneven in production. Some had more rice then others and some had lettuce instead of avocado. Overall meal hit the spot and I was well fed for 12$ read more

Took my team there for dinner and had a large sushi boat. Great presentation and tasty sushi. The only glitch was that we were charged per person even for the people who didn't go. read more

I really liked this place. Service was fast, the miso soup was nice, with huge pieces of tofu, and the sushi was really tasty. I got tuna sushi which was fresh, with a huge cut of fish and a nice amount of rice, and a Crazy Tuna roll, which has shrimp tempura inside and spicy tuna on the top. It was the spiciest spicy tuna I've ever had, which was a good thing - it really stood out. I'd definitely come back here if I was in town again. read more

I stopped by here on my way to the beach (traffic was killer, and I needed a sushi break), and I'm glad I did. On a sunny Saturday afternoon, Ichiban was surprisingly empty. My parents and I were seated immediately, and within minutes my order went in. I got the sushi lunch special, which came with a side salad and two rolls (spicy tuna and sweet potato). My salad came out as soon as I said "salad", and within minutes my sushi followed. The rolls were fresh, well made, and delicious. For $10 I got exactly what I wanted. I'd absolutely come back here again. read more

Got DoorDash the other day from Ichiban and the sushi was on point! Spicy tuna roll, shrimp tempura roll, yellowtail with jalapeño, Kani salad, salmon nigiri all good kudos to the sushi counter! read more

I would rate this place two dollar signs, lunch for two (6 rolls and soft drinks) was $27, quite a value. Fish was fresh and tasty. I recommend this place. read more

I couldn't find a reason not to give it 5 stars. The service was fast so since it was lunch time I could easily go here for my lunch break. Parking was ample and service was friendly. It is a small restaurant and I was the only one there. I ordered the sushi lunch special. The California roll and shrimp tempura rolls were good and fresh. You have a choice of me so soup or salad. The house ginger dressing was really good. The salad was basic but fresh. I got a can of soda that was nice and cold. I caught up on the news while eating from the large tv. I thought the price was very reasonable for lunch. With all this said, it was still eastern Shore sushi. It's not the best I've ever had but it was definitely not the worst. I didn't get desert or anything extra so I can't comment on that at this time but I will be back so I will update this review at that time. They have bento boxes! Lunch prices are good until 3pm. read more

Food was so so. I liked the tempura. Salad was limp and unimaginative. But during covid that can be understood. I had to ask for tea but apparently it's complimentary. The decor and atmosphere are dreadful. Don't see a lot of pride here. Bathrooms not great. Not run by Japanese people. read more

We stopped here on a whim after we crossed the Bay Bridge to get some lunch before heading to the beach. Looked dark and empty when we walked in with only a couple tables taken, so we weren't sure what to expect. But we took a chance! This was tasty asian food. Big portions. Very fresh. Would stop here agin next time we are coming or going to The Delaware or Maryland beaches. read more

ANAZING SUSHI !!! Much better than sados . I stopped going to sados because they were gross and went here instead . Great staff and even better food I trust them even during covid season . Love it ! read more

We come here or carry out about once a week. Best sushi! I don't know why it's 3 $$$, they have the best prices, and it's one of the more affordable sushi restaurants I've been to anywhere, and that's a lot! Family run. Atmosphere is quiet, and simple, maybe a little dated. We've had sushi all over the country, but we always end up saying, "not as good as Ichiban!" read more

This place has the best wait staff I've ever encountered, which consists of a 12 year old boy who was exceedingly thorough and professional. Impressive, charming kid. We had four sushi rolls, all of them top notch. The best sweet potato roll I've ever had - crispy and the sweet potato was creamy and it was served hot, so the tempura was fresh. This is now my spot to hit on the way to or from the beach. Also, I don't know why this place is rated "$$$". We had 3 standard maki rolls, one fancy one, a sushi appetizer, seaweed salad, and two miso soups and the bill was $45 - which is pretty dang good for sushi and definitely not "$$$." read more

As long as I taught and lived over here, I NEVER thought to visit. Hell, I didn't think that Kent Island would have a nice sushi place. It wasn't until I moved away that I decided to eat here. The lunch specials were AMAZING! 4 rolls for $10!!!!!! I love sushi and bargain. Since it was so cheap, I didn't expect much. I was wrong! Their sushi was great! I had two cucumber rolls with cream cheese and two asparagus rolls with cream cheese. My dining companion had the dragon roll. It looked super cute! Like me, he was pleased with his selection. Our server was attentive the whole time, but she wasn't hovering. In addition, she was very helpful with the various selections on the menus. Ichiban had an awesome wine and beer selection, and I had a sweet plum wine. Yum! If I am in the area, I am surely coming back! It is great sushi at an awesome price. read more

Great sushi. Small but what you kind of expect for a sushi restaurant. Everything is fresh and delicious. Try the shumai. Yum. .Get three or more rolls and you get them served on a boat. Definitely worth a try. read more

After you cross the Bay Bridge you'll hit this joint pretty soon. It's a clean and nice little spot in a strip mall. For what it is, it's quite tasty. You can get sushi, but I got a teriyaki bento box. Delicious. I detract a point because everything was mildly sweet, just a smidge more than I expected. But for mall sushi on the way to the beach? Aces! I would come back. read more

I love sushi, but not from here. It's not bad, Jensen the 3 star review, but it's not all that good either. Not much flavor, sushi is always, just ok. There is much better sushi on Kent Island. Ichiban, to me, is probably great for kids and people who have no idea what really good sushi is. I've eaten here at least 10-15 times and have never once been wowed. Bottom line, its just ok...at best. The food is highly over priced for what your getting. The employees are great though. As much as I like to support local establishments (non chain eateries) I doubt I will return. read more

Someone has recommended them to me about a year ago in passing--all I can say is I made a mistake by not going sooner. It's a very small place inside but nice. The sushi was fantastic and surprisingly cheap. They have a 3 roll for $9.99 special (if it's take out, four if you dine in). My favorite was the salmon tempura. I highly recommend if you are in the area. Their sushi is better than some popular places across the bridge. read more

Only sushi place worth going to without driving over the bay bridge. Made to order and doesn't break the bank. Small little restaurant. Quite and family friendly. My go to! read more

Good sushi, great service and price. Little skimpy on the meat in some of the rolls, but really good overall. Great selection. Will come back. read more

Great experience all around when I ordered take-out lunch and then had dinner here. I will go here over Cafe Sado any time.

Awesome sushi!!!!!!!!! We got the 3 rolls for $9.99 deal where you can gets any roll $4-up for that price which is great!! Their shrimp tempura is super delicious along with their uptown roll. There's also a coupon on the takeout menu where if you dine in or take out and spend $25 you get a free California roll and who doesn't want that lol. The place is clean and is charming. For the price and experience go to ICHIBAN! read more

The food is ordinary, but the dinning atmosphere is awful. I've been here twice with 6 months in between, but each time the owner's family was there and using the dining room as their own living room. The grandparents were talking loudly, kids were writing homework and asking questions out loud, parents were scolding the kids not eating their vegetables....I feel I intrude their family dinner instead of having a dinner in a restaurant. Not a good experience for me. read more

3/16/14: Well, after many months of waiting, I finally had the opportunity to come by Ichiban again. How things have changed in only a few months! As many have stated, the owner's children were running around everywhere during my visit as well. The food quality seems to have dropped for some reason (I had some of the same rolls as the previous visit). Also, the staff was not seem particularly happy to be there. I'll give them another shot, but I hope this was just a fluke on their part and not a sign of continuing down this road. read more

Good food, and great service. I was honestly a little surprised it was so good. I'm really picky with sushi and this was definitely on the top of my list. I'll be going back. read more

I spent 5 years in Japan and love sushi. This restaurant has certainly come around. They have a lot of new items on the menu, both cooked meals and sushi. The prices are good, and portions are great! It it also a family friendly environment. I like the sushi roll selection here a little more than Cafe Sado. Overall, give it a try and you won't regret it. read more
