It is quiet and you can just relax and have great food. The place is so well maintained and it is spotless. Their miso soup is some of the best we have had and we love their platters when we are with friends. They have wonderful starters and we sometimes order a bunch and skip the mains. Their baked green mussels are not like any I have had before. Their deep fried gyoza is amazing. Their salmon collar and oysters on the half shell are ever so tasty. So go there.

It made the whole experience so comfortable and enjoyable! I'll definitely be coming back again!

Staff was nice, not super attentive. Wondering why they named this place Izakaya if all they really sell are generic rolls and teriyaki... anyway back to the rating. We ordered several rolls, sashimi, and couple apps. The Edamame was weird. While traditionally steamed and tossed, or fried and tossed with garlic n chilies, these were.... Wet? Like swimming in some type of sauce. Sauce was tasty, but it was so weird to look at. Rolls were very underwhelming. Nothing popped, nothing hit you making you come back for another bite.

UPDATE: After my experience, I looked through other recent Yelp reviews and was surprised to see…read moremultiple customers describing very similar issues with the front-of-house service. Recent reviewers have described the service as rude, unhelpful, and accompanied by a poor attitude. One reviewer described the service as "awful, horrible, rude service," while another said the woman at the front had a "terrible attitude." Another recent reviewer described the host as rude after being told to wait outside in the rain and wind, and another specifically mentioned that the hostess was not helpful when they had questions. Unfortunately, this makes my experience seem much less like an isolated incident and more like a recurring customer-service problem. My own experience involved someone at the front who was unnecessarily difficult, unwilling to help with basic questions or alternatives, and ultimately refused service when I asked to speak with management. What is even more concerning is that I subsequently tried multiple times to reach management about what happened and did not receive a return call. When several recent customers are independently describing similar experiences with front-of-house staff, I would expect management or ownership to take those complaints seriously. Based on my experience and the pattern reflected in other recent reviews, I cannot recommend this restaurant. Do yourself a favor and go somewhere that values its customers and treats them with basic courtesy and respect.

Ichiban Sushi -- Downey, CA: A True Neighborhood Treasure…read more I've been a regular at Ichiban Sushi in Downey for the last 18 years, and every visit reminds me why this place is so special. From the moment you walk in, you get the feeling of being welcomed by family. Chef Paul consistently turns out some of the best sushi I've had -- fresh, beautifully balanced, and made with obvious care and skill. Each roll and nigiri shows attention to detail and a respect for the ingredients that keeps me coming back. Servers Julie and Judy are every bit as important to the experience. They're friendly, attentive, and always make sure our table is taken care of. Whether it's a recommendation, a quick refill, or making sure a birthday surprise goes smoothly, they handle it with warmth and professionalism. Their customer service is a big reason many of us have been repeat customers for years. Over the last 18 years I've built a genuine relationship with the team at Ichiban. We've celebrated birthdays and shared many memorable moments together -- rare in today's restaurant scene. That personal touch, combined with consistently excellent sushi, makes Ichiban Sushi my go-to spot. If you're in Downey and love authentic, high-quality sushi served by people who truly care, don't miss this place. The ambiance for any big party or birthday party is great you're able to take up half of the restaurant. It's always a cozy Friday night vibe when you visit. I just miss the bob Marley music.
