    When my friend comes in town from New York, this is her favorite spot to go to since it's nearby where her mom lives so this is a place that we always end up at after COV beverages We like the portion it's definitely enough for the price of AYCE

    This place is so beautiful when you step in. From the presentation of the decor to the presentation of food was very impressive . The menu is on a tablet and you have a waitress to take your order. Super friendly and food comes out very fast. Staff is very attentive to make sure everyone has a great experience. The food tastes really good . The only thing that really is different is the limit of food you can order each round. I don't think it's that big of a deal, makes you slow down.

    Ichiban Sushi is easily a go-to spot for quality sushi in Minnesota. The fish is incredibly fresh, and the all-you-can-eat menu features everything from high-grade nigiri to creative specialty rolls. The experience is seamless.. you order through an iPad, and the food comes out remarkably fast. With its modern, chic ambiance and a very friendly waitstaff, it's the perfect reliable pick for a quick and delicious meal

    We came here in December for our anniversary and were so impressed we made it through a 2 hour wait on Valentine's Day to get a table! Delicious food, extremely fresh fish, creative rolls and great service. I just wish they took reservations!

    Had never been but was invited for a birthday. They do not accept reservations for less than 6 people and we had 5 so we just showed up and waited. Took about 30 minutes to get a table on a Friday night. We had plans after dinner and let them know we had about a hour till we had to leave and the service was great! Not sure if it's always fast but food came out super quick. Not only great food but the cocktails were definitely worth it for me. When i think all you can eat, I dont always equate that with good quality but this place had both. I will be visiting again soon.

    Came here a lot when it first opened. Finally doing a review and came here during a weekday lunch. Price when I went this time was $29.95. It used to be $24.95 earlier this year.. The space is clean and very open. Sat at the bar area this time on as we came during peak lunch hour and still had great service. The server was attentive and dishes came out quickly and dirty plates were being taken away just as quick. The food is definitely more upscale than the typical AYCE sushi place in MN. One thing I think that sets Ichiban apart from the rest is how well they prepare their rice. It has a nice subtle tang from the sushi vinegar that helps to balance the fish. The nigiri is the best thing here. The sushi rolls are above average and hit the spot when you have that sushi craving. The chicken karaage is a must get: it always comes out piping hot and crispy. The tempura plate was average, the vegetable tempura a little too oily. Lastly, the ice cream mochi tastes just like the one you get in the grocery stores. Overall quality of the food is 4/5. This was my go to AYCE sushi spot when they opened, but now I don't think I would come here frequently mainly due to the increased price. For a sushi craving, there are other new options just as good as Ichiban's sushi but for less cost.

    My friend suggested eating here for sushi. All you can eat for a set price. Reservations recommended for parties of 6 or more, this can be done online. Otherwise call them to see if reservation is needed for smaller party. Beautifully decorated and busy. We sat in the dining area towards the back, one side is the sushi chefs and the other side is the bar. We have an iPad as a menu, but still had to order through the waitress. 90 minute max for the table. Definitely recommend if you're in the area.

    Worth Every Penny for Top-Quality AYCE Japanese! Perfect for a birthday celebration. I came here for dinner and was initially a bit shocked by the $47 per person price tag--but it turned out to be more than worth it. From the very first plate of sashimi, I could tell this place was something special. The salmon and white tuna sashimi were fresh, buttery, and beautifully presented--easily on par with what you'd find at a higher-end a la carte sushi spot. The service was excellent--our server was super friendly, answered all of our questions with patience, and checked in on us frequently without being intrusive. It really added to the overall experience. Note that they ask that you wait until your entire party is present before they'll seat you. The ambiance and decor were also a highlight: cozy, clean, and adorably Japanese, with lots of authentic little touches. Highly recommend ordering: * Sashimi (especially salmon and white tuna) * Beef Tataki - tender and flavorful * Salmon Carpaccio - bright and refreshing * Crispy Rice Tuna - crunchy, spicy, filling, and delicious * Any of the Special Sushi Rolls - beautiful and satisfying * Matcha Snowflake Ice - light and perfectly sweet - I'll dream of this one until my next visit What to skip: * Calamari - too chewy and lacked flavor * Teriyaki Beef - dry and overdone If you're looking for a quality AYCE Japanese experience with fresh seafood, great atmosphere, and attentive service, this spot absolutely delivers. Can't wait to come back!

    Tried this sushi all-you-can-eat spot and was seriously impressed with the quality--definitely the best sashimi I've had from any AYCE sushi place in Minnesota. The scallop nigiri stood out--super fresh and buttery. Minnesota roll and salmon carpaccio were both solid picks too. Hibachi steak was a nice surprise--juicy and flavorful. Only letdown was the mackerel nigiri, which was a bit too fishy for my taste. Service-wise, everything was smooth except for one hiccup: our waiter (last name might've been Le?) was not the friendliest, which did take away from the experience a bit. Would definitely go back, just hoping for a different server next time.

    I can't wait to go back to Ichiban Sushi! The quality of the sushi is so good that you would never think it's an all you can eat place! We went for lunch on a Saturday, which you pay dinner prices for, but for the food and service that we got that day, I am okay with! My sister ordered some appetizers that I typically wouldn't order on my own, and they were so good! The jalapeño yellowtail was perfect with a slight kick of heat and the sauce the fish was in was delicious. We also did the crispy rice tuna, it wasn't bad! A little too much rice for me, so I don't think I'd order it again. For the sushi, Our pieces of sashimi were so thick and perfect! And we ordered a #9 roll, which is my fav, and it did not disappoint. We also did a Philly roll, it has smoked salmon and a scallion (wasn't my fav) and an avocado salmon roll which was great! And to top it off, the dessert was amazing!! We had the matcha snowflake which is the shaved ice... so good!!! Especially with the mochi pieces sprinkled on it! Our server, Leng, was on top of it. Great customer service and consistently made sure we were good! Can't wait to go to Ichiban again!!

    I recently visited Ichiban for their all-you-can-eat dinner ($46.95 + tax), and overall, I had an enjoyable experience.. though there were a few things to note. There's a 2-hour dining limit, but that felt very reasonable. On my Sunday evening visit, the restaurant wasn't too busy and food came out quickly. Ichiban offers a wide variety of dishes that are great for seafood lovers, but also plenty of non-seafood options for those with different tastes. Our waitress was great, super friendly and always available to take new orders without delay! Sashimi was the main reason I chose to dine here for dinner. My Favorites: The white tuna and salmon sashimi were both fresh and delicious. Disappointments: The regular tuna sashimi was not good. It came in an odd cube-shaped cuts that tasted off and lacked the quality of the others. The fried oyster was another miss.. very fishy and didn't taste clean. I do really like the design of the restaurant with nice Japanese elements that add to the ambiance :) Overall Ichiban is a solid choice for an all-you-can-eat Japanese dinner. A bit on the pricier end, but a great service and a relaxing atmosphere round out the visit!

    Came for all you can eat sushi. Most of the sushi was great, though I wouldn't order the appetizers again, the gyudon was a bit dry and packed with rice so I wasn't able to eat as much sushi afterwards. The service was good and I liked a lot of the rolls. A bit pricy, I probably wouldn't visit again too often but it's a fun spot to try.

    Momo Sushi is my favorite sushi in Minneapolis. Everytime I get asked for a sushi spot…read morerecommendation, I always say Momo. The rolls are huge and packed with incredible combinations. There is a great variety of rolls so everyone is going to be pleased with the meal. The restaurant itself is tight on space but the dining experience makes up for it. I recommend you beat the dinner rush and go early when they reopen for the evening. Warning, it does get really busy almost everyday because it is just that good! Location-wise it is great because if you struggle to find parking in the small lot next to the spot, you can park on a residential street behind the restaurant and take a short stroll. I'm curious as to what the takeout experience is, I haven't had the chance to order, I would rather dine in the restaurant.

It was fine, we walked through the Indian grocery next door. (also fun!) We had a great little table inside. We ordered the Giaoza pork and tumpra veggies to start. (everything was gone the second it hit the table, so no pics) The arrived the sushi, and the hibachi. Every bit was amazing. No left overs and my son (8) orders more Goaoza to go! It was less that $60 for our family of 4. I can't wait to come back and try more.

My group was the only ones here during all of lunch hour, so I was a little worried at first. There was only one server and she was also working the front desk as well. The menu was difficult to navigate as the items on their buffet menu did not have descriptions, but their al a carte and online menu did, so we had to cross reference menus to know exactly what was in each roll. Orders were taken quickly but the food came out a little slow; I wonder if they had much fewer cooks working for how slow their lunch hours were. Nonetheless, the food did arrive and what was missed in speed was made up for in quality. I didn't take many pictures since the I was so hungry while waiting for the food, but the one I did take was of the Snow Thrill roll, which had 3 different kinds of fish in it (just check out the amount of fish in that thing!!). Nigiri was solid and the rice was properly sushi vinegar'd. A couple other solid picks were the salmon tartar and gyoza. Dessert options are plentiful, but they didn't have some of the items listed on the menu like certain flavors of the mochi ice cream. If you're okay with a little bit of a wait, I would recommend trying this place out. Probably in my top 3 in terms of the quality of sushi in MN.

We had the salmon carpaccio which was the highlight of the meal. It was similar to a sashimi but was doused in a delicious sauce. We then had the squid game which has a much smokier flavor than expected - it almost had an essence of teriyaki and was probably our least favorite though not bad. We went with two rolls: the 2-14 and the Mishap. Both were absolutely delicious. We were ready to order more but our waiter was nowhere to be found. We waited several minutes and then decided to just get the check instead. We recently moved from a place known for its sushi so we found the quality of fish here to be good - but not outstanding and would echo the sentiment that prices are pretty astronomical. The vibe of the place was cool and the dishes were good but the price and service definitely cost it a star. We walked because parking in the area did look pretty tough!
