I had a really nice tuna bowl here - reasonably priced, and tasty. My friend had the sushi and loves the place. Service is pretty good, and it's a nice quiet place to eat. read more

I tried this restaurant for the first time last night, it was around closing time so I only got aa takeout order. The quality, freshness and presentation are superb! Maki Rolls were made fresh, firm and flavourful. I got the Spicy shrimp tempura and california rolls, and they were both just great. I also ordered Shrimp tempura which was one of the best i've had, lightly but perfectly breaded. I also ordered a chicken Katsu dinner which was just delicious. Their portions are very generous with so many sauces and extra little things. Highly recommended! read more

3.5 star Ichiban Sushi House though is like a Franchise, this location in Vaughan does stand out from others I been to.... Decoration is super chic and classy, not traditional Japanese!! Reminded me more of a Sake Bar than one of the Ichiban Sushi House I been to. Sushi Bento Box ($10.50) - So nicely presented... I can tell the kitchen staffs really took the time to make sure even a lunch special is up to certain standard - Though it is a Sushi Bento Box, the Tempura is the star! Lightly battered, freshly deep fried, crispy on the outside, oh so moist inside.. and that goes for the veggie too!! - The fish was fresh... and I really enjoyed the sushi - They did mess up with my order for Spicy roll and I got California roll instead... which I usually don't mind, but the way they made their Cali roll here was with a touch of mayo... way too much mayo for my liking... Services here is friendly and nice... The two Korean wait staffs make sure I have all I need and more... read more

Great place, HUGE roll pieces and great cuts! I've been to a lot of sushi places (AYCE and non AYCE) but this is one of the best places I've been to. We got the A7 combo which had a rainbow roll, a California roll, various great cuts of sashimi and various sushi. (45) The sushi was had great proportion of rice to fish unlike many other places and the rolls I thought were already pretty big (it gets better) and the sashimi cuts were superb! We got cuts of salmon, red and white tuna (parts of which were at least 4cm thick) butterfish and some red snapper, all of which were fresh. I'm a big man so I wasn't super full after the plater so I decided to get an extra black dragon roll (14).....which initially scared me because it was humongous. Not only did it have several tempura shrimp and probably an entire avocado inside, they also put it some stuffed crab. BONUS: because they are Korean operated, they even gave us starter dishes which made the wait for our food seem not that bad. read more

My second time being back here. Very nice place with lovely ambience and nice decor. The staff are very friendly and attentive (it was quieter, so the chef came out personally to take our order). We had the Ichiban Combo which was loads of food for two people. We'll be back :) read more

Quick service and is usually packed. The sushi place offers GINORMOUS rolls. I usually order one plate and its good for me. My favourite are any sushi with crispy fried bits on it! The noodle soup was okay and would not try it again. I'll stick to the amazing sushi and the free sides they give - which they did not hesitate to refill when I asked because the potatoes are to die for. They service is great the staff is friendly and I just adore the ladies that work there as they are so polite and cute (for lack of better words). Happy to pop in whenever I can for a quick lunch time run. The sushi tastes great but not something I rave about. I come back for the other reasons above. read more

After feeling that Ginza offered too much low scale ingredients I moved on When i spend $15 for a Sashimi plate i expect Maguro, Yellowtail and quality items and Ichiban delivers I had a business lunch as a guest and was pleasantly surprised at the quality offering of their plating Too me its all about the Sushi and expect getting what i pay for Quick service, excellent quality,and value read more

came for lunch.. Menu options were delicious. First time having buckwheat cold noodles.. soooo good. I would reccomend coming to try it out. Portions in bento box was really good. price is fair. read more

Great food! Tried the sushi with brown rice. Wasabi was strong and the tempura was crisp but not "hollow". Nice ambience, good music, and a relaxing atmosphere for lunch away from work. read more

Nice quiet restaurant with good quality food and decent service. The specialty rolls are very good, nice variety of options, good value. Also we like the Yakatori Udon, nice accompaniment to our sushi meal. They also include, tea, soup & salad without charging extra This is our go-to place for Sushi in Thornhill or you could just slop down a bunch of all-you-can-eat mystery slime for a slightly lower cost. We always see lots of people come in for take out orders. Enjoy read more

Trying to find a good sushi place near my work wasn't an easy task, but I'm pleased to say Ichiban Sushi came through. The Vegetable Maki Sushi set is around $12 dollars, but that comes with 18 pieces of sushi! (6pc Avocado, 6pc Sweet Potato and 6pc Mushroom), plus miso soup and a salad. Now I realize that's a little expensive for lunch, but a ton of delicious sushi isn't anything to scoff at either. I have had trouble ordering sometimes, so you have to be very precise and specific over the phone. But they're really nice there and even if there is a mistake it's always corrected in no time flat. They also had a deal where if you ordered out and paid in cash you got 10% off, which is pretty great, I'm not sure if they're still doing that though. Anyway, it's not the greatest Sushi in the city, but if you live in the area it's a pretty good bet. read more

I have no idea how I missed giving this place a review given how many times I have been there over the years. This is a cozy and tidy little sushi joint. If you eat in then you will get Korean ban chan to snack on. Tonight we had takeout. The quality here is good, not as high as nearby Aroowha, but everything is smaller than Aroowha and so more variety is possible. We still weren't able to finish everything ordered. The Agedashi tofu and tempura were nice and crispy. The pieces on the small sushi platter were a nice smaller size and very tasty. read more

Figures the yentas in the area would love this place. Not really good at all and expensive. $13 for a spicy tuna roll!!?? Caters to the thornhill woods crowd, enjoy. I actually drove from Bathurst and Elgin mills to this place, big mistake considering I have Mi-ne 2 minutes from my house. The sashimi was super thin and tasted as if it was just defrosted. What else is there to say? If you can't cut me a nice piece of sashimi, please don't call yourself a sushi restaurant. Out. read more

Came here on a Friday night for dinner. There were two tables occupied. A little quiet for Friday night. This Ichiban is nicely decorated, clean and spacious. The wait staff were friendly and helpful. We ordered a combination best choice platter. It was nicely presented and fish selection was a bit better than standard. Compared to other Ichiban, this one is much more comfortable. Prices are slightly higher by a buck or two. We had an enjoyable dinner. read more

One of my favourite sushi joints! I am a huge sushi fanatic and I've recently been really inclined to stick with a la carte sushi restaurants as the quality is exponentially better than AYCE in my opinion. The sushi here is amazing. I always get the maki dinner combos or their volcano roll platter. The place is Korean-run and I always notice that Korean-style sushi is different than Japanese. Specifically their sushi is creamier and it melts in your mouth. Prices are reasonable in my opinion. Quantities are pretty big. I would usually share the combos I get with one other person. The service is very nice! Servers have a slight accent but nothing majorly hard to comprehend. All staff are very friendly and always smiley. I love how I always get a warm greeting and from all the staff including all the chefs when I come in to pick up takeout. Overall you won't get an AYCE level quantity but if you're like me and you enjoy quality over quantity and you love korean-style sushi, I would definitely recommend this place! OH! You also get 10% off if you order takeout and pay in cash which is nice! read more

The best sushi i have ever had in my life. The employees are kind but one lady is a little rude... i asked for extra spicy mayo and she gave me a dirty look lol. I usually just eat longos sushi but nothing compares to the sushi here. I always get the 12 piece California rolls. So good!! read more

I was here after the new owners took over (April 14, 2011 I believe) We came for the 50% off deal The food was very good We had edamame to start and were also served complimentary miso soup We also ordered shrimp tempura - it was ok; my piece was half hollow, which was disappointing We had a few sushi pieces (the tuna sushi and salmon rose, which was very beautiful) The majority of our order was maki My favourite was the Bay roll (with deal fried scallops) - SO tasty, they put a peanut sauce or something in there and they also use a spicy mayo VERY tasty we also had the ichi roll - it has eel and avocado on the outside and shrimp and crab and other tasty items on the inside; this was also a hit The spider roll with soft shell crab was good as well; a little too fishy tasting for my liking We also have the salmon sushi pizza and it was very good and nicely presented The one disappointing thing is that they did not have the King Crab roll, which we were really looking forward to and also the roll with lobster in it; they said it is only seasonal Overally, great food it is a bit pricey so i suggest taking advantage of the 50% off offer (on until April 20th) - it works on everything but the lunch specials read more

Do not come here. Staff are rude and the food is subpar. The spicy salmon roll was all tempura and literally a small hint of salmon with oil dripping in your mouth. Disgusting. When I asked for a new roll (I never complain) they said no and too bad. Horrible! read more

Me and my wife are regulars here almost every Friday night and this place is highly recommended! Super clean, super friendly staff and amazing food! Amazing!! read more

This is officially my new favorite sushi place in the area. The staff is the most friendly group of Koreans who are all adorable and sweet. While the dinner items on the list are pricey, their fancy rolls are quite large and have tons of meat and little rice - definitely worth it! If you come for lunch time, their bento boxes are a sweet deal. For $10 you get a ridiculous amount of food including sashimi and sushi. I also want to mention that their fish is very fresh, and they also brought me a free grilled salmon appetizer. I will definitely come back again and again whenever I have a sushi craving. Also, if you purchase their items for take-out and pay in cash, you get 10% off :) read more

LOVE IT HERE! I used to come here almost twice a week for lunch when I was in high school. Best sushi I've had. read more

Ichiban Sushi House - Japanese Near Me - Thornhill, Ontario

My husband and I go to this restaurant regularly whenever we get a craving for sushi. It has nice, clean interior, good service, and pretty decent sushi. I would say the quality of the food is better than any average sushi restaurants in the area especially the all you can eat restaurants. I usually get the sushi combo ($15 for 8 pieces of assorted sushi and 6 pieces of dynamite roll) or special maki combo ($16 for 9 pieces of dynamite, 6 pieces of spicy salmon, 6 pcs California roll). My husband usually goes for the dinner special bento box where you can choose two items of your choice. My favorite dessert is red apple sorbet. The sorbet is contained in a real apple (halved and carved out). So refreshing.... read more

This place SUCKS I would not recommend anyone To go there.. The food was o.k the service sucks and the prices are not good at all It should be shut down...... I have never had horrible service like this before.. read more

One of the BEST sushi restaurants I've been to. Cozy, nice, very clean interior the employees there are the nicest group of asians that are quick and nice. BEST QUALITY FISH in the area. go for their Ichiban course meals for two! its 50$ but incredibly worth it. a sushi sashimi boat, big roll, and teriyaki along with seaweed salad and dessert. Again, EXCELLENT QUALITY!! go if you want great tasting sushi. read more

Very cozy and quiet when we visited there during the weekday. Sashimi are fresh. Service is good. Price is reasonable. Will go back and try their bento box. read more

I was forced to give this 1 star, when I really didn't want to rate them at all. Keep in mind, I am NOT rating the food, but the HORRIBLE HORRIBLE customer service I received. I have never had to write a review before, but I felt I had to after my last experience at this location. I have NEVER experienced such POOR, SLOW service at any restaurant I have been to, in comparison to this one. I had called 30 minutes in advance on a Friday for a bento box pickup, when arriving I was told I had to wait another 30 minutes for my "pick up" order. I get it, it was a busy Friday lunch hour, but what I didn't get, was the patrons who finished eating, were served before me, the walkins ordered and were also served before me. I think these new owners were picking and choosing who should be served (I was picking up 1 measly bento box!) I asked for refund, to which the server kept brushing me off. And when I finally caught her attention and said I was walking out, she said, "oh, it's right here." I was pretty livid. I arrived back at work late from my lunch, only to discover -- no soya sauce. I have decided to boycott going to this location EVER AGAIN. I have since spread the word at my company for everyone to follow suit, removed them from my phone list, and have erased ever eating there from my memory. read more

Spicy salmon roll is actually a roll filled with a ton of Japanese bread crumbs and a tiny bit of salmon.

If I could give this place zero stars, I would. STAY. AWAY. To all my fellow Thornhillers...do not order from or go to Ichiban sushi on Summeridge! Be warned! I have never posted a complaint about a restaurant but I am now. Went to pick up my order for which I asked them not to put fish eggs on my sushi..but they did. Had to wait another 30 minutes for them to remake it..only to come home and find that every roll had crab in it. Now, I'm not saying I don't like crab BUT the menu online and printed does not list crab in their rolls. I then called to ask why and was told that they don't have an online and their printed menus are now different. Keep in mind I picked up the menu when I picked up my order. Was told that manager does not speak English and refused to take back order. Terrible customer service!! Was blamed for looking at online menu and told its not their fault. Their reasoning for refusing to take back the order was because a piece was eaten, meanwhile we only ate a piece without realizing it had crab and then spit it out. I have ordered from them many times before and will never go back. This may not sound that bad and you are probably bored right now..but just lost $50! read more
