I'll start by saying that the orange chicken was probably the best tasting OC recipe I've ever had…read more Sweet sauce with only a little kick and great orange flavor. The white rice was perfect. The shrimp spring rolls were prepared fresh and were very tasty. I do have to say that while nobody was unpleasant or rude, the staff were a bit less than personable. Possibly this is the best that they can recruit in these parts. ‍ Again, not horrible...just kind of blah. Wait times for ordering, receiving, and check out were extended. It was Friday night, but the place wasn't exactly packed. Perhaps they were short staffed. I'm glad the food was good. Oh...there were no vegetables with the OC. I found that kind of odd. Just several orange slices. No big deal. Just an observation. I would return.

Finding the place was not too difficult using GPS. The facade seemed enticing. Entering the place I could smell and hear the grills which only whet my appetite. I waited about 8 minutes and was shown to a seat. I was the only person at the grill, but was shortly joined by one couple, then another. Orders were taken from the 5 of us about 15 minutes after the last people were seated. I ordered a steak and chicken combo with fried noodles and a salad, and some fried gyoza (dumplings). To drink, I asked for a small Sapporo. The beer arrived shortly along with the gyoza. Then the show began. Anyone who has been to a teppan restaurant knows the drill. The cook makes a big show of oiling and firing up the grill, clanging the instruments on the grill, cutting vegetables and meat in a showy fashion. That part was a 4 of 5 compared to Benihana. I didn't come for the show. I was there expecting some yummy food. Here begins the sad part of the dinner. The gyoza were actually very well done. Fried very crispy with very tasty filling. I was let down by the dipping sauce which seemed to be only soy sauce. The dumplings were good, but the sauce was very lacking. I found that sad because it is so easy to make a good dipping sauce. They should add a little rice vinegar or ginger to the sauce, maybe some green onions. Next was my salad. This looked like some iceberg lettuce and tomato swimming in a bowl of "miso" dressing. Not only was the bowl overloaded with dressing, but the dressing itself tasted like mayonnaise, not the usual citrussy miso dressing I am used to. The main course was beef, chicken and grilled vegetables. The meats were OK, not great. The veggies were seemed only partially grilled as they released lots of water when plated. The really sad part of this were the noodles. These were not asian noodles in any sense of the word. It seemed like they went to Krogers and bought some flat Italian noodles then boiled them before lightly grilling them. Even chow mien noodles would have been better, or at least some semblance of an asian dish. It is almost a sin to call these grilled noodles. It seemed like they were boiled, then warmed on a grill for a few minutes. Want to know what they are supposed to be like? Just google YAKISOBA. I ate the beef and some of the chicken and vegetables, but overall it was not a good meal. I know there are not a lot of ethnic restaurants in Charleston, but this place is just sad. It is too bad that the people in this town can't experience a good Japanese steakhouse. The best part of this $42 meal was the beer and the gyoza. Not interested in eating a bowl of noodle soup. Will not be back or recommend to anyone.

The restaurant has a big open layout with a dark, mellow vibe. Think "sushi lounge meets introvert sanctuary." Not the most vibrant setting, but calming in a "maybe I'll take a nap after this" kind of way. Our server was friendly. Props to the kitchen, too; our food arrived almost before we had time to debate chopstick technique. We started with the oyster tempura. I adore oysters, but this one didn't win me over. The batter was too thick, too oily--more crunch than creature, sadly. I had the Sushi Lunch (5 pieces of sushi + a California roll) with a house salad that came enthusiastically dressed. Like, the salad was ready for prom. The sushi itself? Serviceable but unremarkable. My husband ordered the Sweet Potato Roll, Rainbow Roll, and Godzilla Roll--a solid trio on paper, but they all kind of blurred together in practice. Not bad, just... unmemorable. Would we return? Probably not. But if we do, I'd skip the sushi and give the hibachi a shot--maybe the grill brings the thrill this place is missing.

Reviews of local restaurants in Point Pleasant, WV mentioned this Japanese restaurant, and since the kids love noodles we decided it would be a safe bet. Well I'm happy to say this decision paid off because Ichiban did not disappoint. Between the rice, noodles, and the wonton (which is Chinese of course) I can say we didn't have one thing here that was not delicious. All the animal proteins, especially the filet mignon, were perfectly seasoned. Mind you it's no different from other hibachi style restaurants such as a Benihana, but I was not expecting to find this type of food in these parts. Our waitress was also very sweet and attentive to our needs, especially with having two little kids to travel with. The only negative thing I'll say is the soup is really not good. Absolutely zero flavor whatsoever.

I was missing good sushi like back home in California but this place does the trick for me! I always get the Super Dragon Roll.
