Came during my lunch break and loved the small dimly lit charm of this restaurant. Our group was…read moregreeted immediately and were able to sit at a table of our choice. We ordered the white board specials: Sexy Roll, Paradise Roll, and Super Hungry Roll. We received complimentary edamame which was devoured immediately and my only note was a pinch more salt. Now onto the rolls, each roll we ordered was very unique! All the fish tasted very fresh and the spicy tuna in the sexy roll was the perfect amount of spice. The paradise roll had fried shrimp and topped with white tuna and tuna which I never seen white tuna before and tasted amazing. The super hungry roll was HUGE! Deep fried with spicy tuna, cream cheese and jalapeño! Definitely a favorite! Can't wait to come back to visit! One of the best and coziest sushi places in town! Only note I will add is to perhaps place the price of the special rolls on the whiteboard as my cousin was under the assumption the rolls were special due to a discounted price.

I've officially reached my limit with Kyoto! For over $20 a plate, I could go to an actual…read moreteppanyaki restaurant and at least get a dinner show out of the deal. Instead, I'm paying premium prices to sit under fluorescent lights and question my life choices. The "Combo" Math that Isn't Mathing Then there's the pricing logic--or lack thereof. Why does a chicken and steak combo cost 20% more than the steak plate alone? * Standard Logic: A combo price should land somewhere between the cost of the chicken and the steak. * Kyoto Logic: "Since you want both, we're going to tax your indecisiveness." Either they have zero respect for their customers, or they're catastrophically bad at math. I'm betting on the latter. Honestly, I could buy a Blackstone grill for the cost of three or four visits to this place. The "Service" (If You Can Call It That) To top it off, the customer service is abysmal. The staff acts personally offended by your very existence. Even the older gentleman--who I assume is the owner--is the worst of the bunch. He radiates a vibe that says, "I hope you choke on that brown rice." Final Verdict: This is the last time they get a dime from me. I'm taking my business to my backyard.

We noticed the sign a few weeks ago celebrating their 20 year anniversary and decided to stop in…read morethis weekend. It was a Sunday night and it was not too busy. We were well cared for and had a lot of attention. We asked about the name Ichiban because we frequented another place with this name years ago. We found out they do have another location on Oswell. We also learned Ichiban means number one or the best in Japanese. That makes sense why that might be a good name of a Japanese restaurant. There is a good amount of space if you want to come with a large group. The bar area is nice and we saw what appeared to be some regulars stopping in for dinner. The food was good and well made. I really liked all the combinations of rolls. It took me some time to make my decision because they have so many choices. The rolls are around $15 each and they have about 10 that are listed at $11.50 for the anniversary. If you are looking for a quick place to stop in for tasty sushi and rolls, make sure the name is Ichiban.

My husband placed an order at this location, but when I arrived to pick it up, I was informed that…read moreit had already been given to someone else. While I understand that mistakes can happen, a simple apology would have gone a long way in addressing the situation. Unfortunately, none of the three staff members I interacted with offered any apology or acknowledgment of the inconvenience. If management is reviewing this feedback, I encourage you to improve customer service standards, whether through additional training or staffing changes. I have always enjoyed ordering from Umi and have supported the business regularly, often multiple times per month. However, based on today's experience and the lack of customer service, I will not be returning and will be taking my business elsewhere.

I've been coming here since before the pandemic every time I visit my family in bako. It's become…read moremy favorite. Today I was extremely disappointed to come back after a few years. First the Miso soup was so bad that the waitress apologized. It had gone bad and had to remake it. The ginger was inedible... all this before our food comes out lol my salmon was slightly brown & took 30 minute to get to us while there was absolutely zero people in the restaurant. My Husbans benzo box was super suspicious. All 3 pieces of sushi were an odd color. The chicken was so dark. It looked like beef. I hate writing a bad review... but once my sushi roll came out 40 minutes later I didn't wanna chance it. I sent it back because Sushi should not be that color and it was 70%Rice to fish. I really hope this place was just having a bad day but hopefully this review we'll get them back on track.

You can't get the sauces you want and can only get 2 if you order a mini and the mini used to be bigger too and the price went up. The food is still delicious as I remember it but I think they need to allow more than 2 sauces or bring back the sauce bar again. At least they have happy hour M-F and on weekends. They've expanded their menu a bit too which is nice and I like that. I'll probably go again and ask if I can pay for extra sauce since I can only get 2. I didn't get any napkins or a fork with my food either.
