THE OMAKASE EXPERIENCE…read more Once a month, Ichiban offers an Omakase experience for $100 per person. To make reservations they require $40 down payment then $60 at the event. This is limited to 6 people per event. So book well in advance. This sells out quick. This experience we had 12 courses total. $100 + $20 for tip, that is about $10 per course. You will get your money's worth. It is not recommended for picky people or people who always have special request. The chef will serve you whatever he decides serve. Each OMAKASE experience is never the same; therefore, your experience is special each time. Most of the items served are not available on their regular menu. But let me tell, everything was delicious. The fried salt and pepper flounder does require some careful attention because there were fishbones, but that was part of the experience. It was designed to slow you down, while he prepares the next course. The battered fried rice cake top with assortment of fresh fish, spicy mayo and eel sauce top with sprouts and bonito flakes was delicious! I advised the chef that they should add that to the menu. Chef Lin, also served BBQ short ribs which was his grandmother's recipe was melt in your mouth divine. The Toro nigiri brush with his special soy sauce melted in my mouth. There was no need to add soy sauce or wasabi and you shouldn't. It was delicious. Same applied to the snapper nigiri. The seafood soup with miso was a definition of umami flavor. It had shrimp, lobster, some other seafood, and the broth was flavorful. The shrimp with spicy mayo sauce was savory and creamy. Today was June 15, 2026 and their next seating is next month which is already sold out. I booked this experience in the beginning of May. I would suggest to go ahead and call Jonathan and reserve your seat in August. However, here is a secret, they may make an exception and you can reserve this experience depends on Chef Lin's availability. But for those special reservations, I was told it will cost $150 per person. Still, it is only limited to 6 people (no less no more) per special reservations. I rarely give 5 stars, and this experience deserves it. I predict, by word of mouth, this will be hardest reservations to get in Pensacola since it is limited.

We were sat in the party room since we had a large group. It took us a bit to get settled so I appreciated that the waiter was patient with us. Some of us did the $30 all you can eat and honestly when sushi places offer that I take advantage of it. Overall it's a good deal but the sashimi cuts are so small! Like 5 pieces would be an equivalent of two full size ones. The fried rice was hard and lacked flavor. The sushi wasn't bad either. Nothing really stood out but would probably go back

I ordered the creamy chicken ramen…read more The broth was rich and flavorful without being too heavy, and the noodles had a really good texture. The chicken was tender, and everything came together into one of those bowls that's just comforting from the first bite to the last. Portion size was solid too, definitely filling without feeling over the top. The restaurant had a calm, relaxed atmosphere and the staff was friendly and attentive. Food came out hot and fresh, and service was smooth the whole time. Definitely a spot I'd come back to when I'm craving a warm bowl of ramen.

I loved the performances, but sometimes it felt a little rushed and like there wasn't time to just enjoy the moment. Some chefs were definitely more enthusiastic than others.

I saw the big boba flag outside this food truck so I had to test it out. Unfortunately, this one…read morewasn't it. It was a Japanese habachi truck, with boba tacked on. Very limited boba menu was a result of this. The milk tea equivalent was a tea latte, which was just tea and milk. I don't really like just tea and milk, I prefer milk tea creamer. I ended up going with the Thai tea with boba, hoping it would be better. We also ordered a side order of noodles. The noodles were good, 4.5 rating for them, but I only review boba. The Thai tea that I ordered was 50% sweet, and I wish I had gotten 75%, as it wasn't quite sweet enough. My bad on that one. The bobas were not tapioca pearls, they were a from of crystal bobas or agar bobas. Misleading in that regard. I couldn't finish the drink, it wasn't good enough. The food seems fine, so don't take this low review as criticism for that. Edit: this review is for the food truck of the same name.
