    Dropped in for lunch. Lunch specials were popular at tables. I had sushi, Salmon, Unagi, and Snapper. All were good. Servings had a bit more rice on each than I prefer but were good. They do have Benihana tables where the food can be prepared at the table grill. Was a good place. Large place with lots of seating.

    I came here because it was close to my hotel and I was hungry. I was not expecting much. The spicy yellowtail hand roll may be the best thing I have ever eaten. The mackerel (not pictured, I ate it too fast) may have been the best I've tried outside of my trip to Japan. If I wasn't leaving Houston today I'd have come back for dinner. Great sushi for cheap prices. Eat here. You're welcome

    Delicious, fresh, generous portions

    Great staff, fast service, generous portions, delicious and fresh sushi!! Can do hibachi dinner too!!

    Steamed vegetables - $4

    Terrible restaurant especially for lunch. Our waitress couldn't understand English nor speak to us. She didn't know what we ordered. Then there was barely anything vegan friendly on the menu so of course I had to order from the appetizers. I got the tofu dish and steamed rice. Both were mediocre and okay at best. The flavor was to be expected. Nothing extravagant. Nothing special. Of course, the steamed rice was solid. They wouldn't even bring out the steamed vegetables. I asked the owner, our waitress (three times), and another waitress - all three didn't bring my order. It took forever for the rest of the table's food to come out. I had to beg for them to bring out the steamed vegetables which I didn't get to eat during my meal. It was until after I got my tab and about headed out the door then I received my steamed vegetables. Oh and the vegetables wasn't worth $4. I'll take a picture of it and have y'all decide. Lackluster crappy food and sad "Japanese" restaurant. Ohh and the decor is so outdated!! There's an odor too. I won't be returning nor recommending!

    Food was decent but had hibachi chicken that came out overly greasy. Ate here because it was near my hotel but about killed me the next two days. Very clear they are using highly processed ingredients. Eat other places closer to the airport.

    Food was good. Service was great. Housekeeping was questionable . Table was sticky and asked to be cleaned. Carpet was worn and dirty. Outdoor and indoor seating.

    Great food with great service. Phil provided us great service with good flavor. It has always been great to come here and have him cooking for us. Shaggy dogs taste great.

    Order with UberEats because I'd rather be home than in that Houston traffic. I been wanting to try this place but every time I go it was closed. Sesame chicken looks and tastes disappointing! Ended up giving that to my dog. Unagi hand roll was good as always but you can't really mess that up. Spider hand roll was salty af! I had to get some water after that one. The Sake cado hand roll was the best one moist and refreshing. The seaweed is very chewy on these hand rolls I don't know if that's normal. The smoked salmon was ok but I've had better at other places. Sad to say it but the best part of this meal was the ginger. Tomago is not my favorite but I always like to try since it's like a dessert nigiri. Ok so this has to be the best tomago I've had. It was not too sweet! If I come back for anything it will be that sashimi style and to try something else.

    The food is delicious, I really like the Katsu and the side salad because it comes with this really yummy sauce I can't remember what it's called but it's my absolute favorite. The stuff is really friendly and on point.

    We came here for dinner one night while in town for business. It's a decent size restaurant with an option to sit where they cook in front of you or sit at a regular table. We got there around 6pm and it was pretty empty so we had no wait. We were sat quickly and brought drinks. Food was decent. The gentleman cooking was nice and fun. It was a big group of 12 and he did a good job. Waiter kept refilling drinks and table clean when ever we finished something. Service was good in my opinion.

    My boyfriend & I were looking for a good sushi place around us because were tired of having to go towards downtown/ midtown / heights etc to find good sushi / Asian food. I was looking through doordash wanting to order some and came across Ichibon which was only a few minutes away from where we were at so we decided to go before they closed. It is a Monday evening it was about 8:30 we arrived and there was a few people but the environment is super chill and perfect if you aren't wanting to be around a huge crowd. We sat at the bar and I'm happy we did because we met one of the cooks / sushi makers his name was " Nacho" and said he worked mondays & he made our experience great!! The waiter was good also but not as friendly as him and also when we needed little things like plates to put the soy sauce or anything in general he was there to ask which makes the experience great , and I value someone who knows how to give great customer service ! Nacho was amazing , very helpful , friendly and on top of that the sushi was BOMB!! Even though this little spot is in greenspoint I'll def be coming back soon for some sushi and to dine in with a nacho ! Great peaceful environment , amazing service & great food! Also the prices are bomb for being sushi .

    The ginger salad is an absolute flavor explosion!

    Updated review: Their food is really good compared to others in the same arena (Happy Buddha- HB, Kobe, or Benihana's) and the price is more reasonable. They just remodeled the outside court yard and put better 24hour security. Never felt safer.

Grab one of each if you're planning on ordering sushi/ sashimi related items. If you're wanting the non- sushi items, there's a menu next to it too and at the ordering counter that you'll see once you get past the first set of doors. Pretty much everything is self serve (after you order and pay of course) so napkins, utensils, water, soups are for your enjoyment! So my suggestion is to get a table (if you can) and then order at the counter but if it's too packed, togo is still an option. I came by myself on a Friday at 5pm and it was definitely bustling but not overcrowded. Tables were clean and there was enough space between each table/booth. Food came out pretty quickly too and I was able to go back and forth for miso soup at least two or three times. If I had to rank my favorite of the four items I ordered: 1. Smoked Salmon 2. Scallop Handrolls 3. Salmon 4. Oyakudon All were wonderful but the smoked salmon and scallop handrolls are the two pieces that I've been trying to search around Houston for what I think is the best. Not quite starstruck but definitely hit the spot. Final rating: I'd love to come back and try their other menu options when I'm in the area and craving quick casual bites

    Good food, great prices for what we get. Brought 30+ friends once and they all left satisfied!…read more Complimentary soup and sweet dessert soup is a big bonus. It can get pretty busy, but there are several newer restaurants to try in the center if they're full.

Stopped in for lunch and waited for a bit, then a group walked in after and got seated while I headed to the bar. No menu offered which could've helped me determine that while they kept the lunch portion (spicy hibachi chicken) the same small size, unfortunately the price got a higher facelift price. The food arrived room temperature & really the only item with flavor was the fried rice. Chicken was a bit rubbery. Didn't mind the wait itself but almost felt like I was inconveniencing them since I was eating solo and others had groups. Hopefully they improve on their food and offer consistent service.
