3 item bento. Rice, mango spicy cali roll, salad, sesame chicken and pork katsu cutlet.
Vanknee K.

First time here. Love the ambiance idk why all wood furnitures does it for me. Dim lighting's but not too dark where I cant see the menus or my food. (Hate eating in the dark) the servers/hostess was polite and attentive. Very accommodating. They gave a complementary corn soup which was actually pretty tasty. I ordered the baked muscles yummy of course and I got the 3 item bento which came with miso soup rice, and salad the 3 item I picked was sesame chicken, pork katsu cutlet and like a spicy mango cali roll. Theres was A LOT of food obviously I didnt finish but it was all so food. I'd definitely go back to try the other food for sure.

Bento Box (Pork Cutlet & Yellowtail Roll)

I placed a takeout order for the 2-item bento box for lunch, and it far exceeded my expectations. There is a wide range of items to choose from, but I decided to go with the Pork Cutlet and Yellowtail Roll. Not only were there large portions of both, but the meal also includes a side salad, rice, and miso soup. The Pork Cutlet was excellent! Juicy cuts, yet still crispy and tender from the fry. It remained this way even after my 15 minute commute back. I also enjoyed the yellowtail roll. A great option if you're looking for something different than the traditional california roll. There was a cozy atmosphere when I stopped in, and plenty of parking in the back. And best of all, this restaurant and staff are quick to answer the phones and provide great service - unlike the other major sushi restaurant in Downey that always seems to have a disconnected/busy line.

Their chirashi bowl is packed with so many different types of fish. Well worth it. They have so many different roll options. Fish quality is very fresh. Service is great. Will be back

Crispy Rice with Spicy Tuna
Tiarra J.

Came in around 4:30 with my brother. The hostess was friendly and the decor was cute, with private little booths. They also have a buy one roll, get one fifty percent off deal that runs all day. That ended up being the best part of the visit. The complimentary edamame was pale and brown, which set the tone. The Crispy Rice appetizer and my green tea were fine. The rolls were the real issue. The Butterfly Roll had soggy tempura and very pale, mushy tuna. The Crunch Scallop Roll tasted like the scallops had been frozen, fried too hard, and cooked in old oil. Even the rice was mushy. When one roll opened up and I saw the texture inside, it threw me off so much that I lost my appetite and felt uneasy afterward, although I cannot tell if it was the food or just my reaction. The place was almost empty, but service was slow. Two different staff members asked how our meal was. When I told the first one it was not great, he just looked sad and walked away. When I shared my concerns with the waitress, she simply slid the check over without offering any solution. It made the check ins feel pointless. It was disappointing to pay for a meal that I could not enjoy. With the freshness issues and the lack of follow through, this spot just missed the mark for me. I would not return.

Tried this place for the first time and was honestly impressed. The sushi was fresh, the portions were good, and the service was fast. Definitely worth checking out if you're craving sushi!

Ordered the 3 item bento box to go and the portion was a lot!! Definitely worth the price! Everything was fresh, flavorful, and prepared well. The staff were nice and friendly. I'll definitely be back to try more items from the menu.

The service was amazing I told them I had Gerd and I could only eat certain foods and they were able to come up with a custom roll for me ! The food was great as well !

Been a while since I've been here, but I'm glad that I came back. I had the Bento meal with three entrées and it was delicious. Take a look at my pictures and you'll see why. They were able to substitute my white rice for an extra salad. Everything was absolutely fresh and delicious. The waiter and host were extremely nice and very attentive. Yummy yummy yu

Very cute restaurant. Honestly we weren't going to stop but saw they had a buy one get one 1/2 off on their specialty rolls so we decided to stop since it's walking distance from our work. Service was excellent. Food came out really quick as well and was very yummy. Loved it and would definitely go again.

Always recommended, always hits the spot. Fresh sushi and awesone service!!…read more Been coming here for over 17 years!!! A+++

Absolutely amazing experience! I went to Japan and Ichiban's sushi in my opinion was better. This…read moreis a great place for lunch & dinner. They also have a private dining room for parties, birthdays, graduations, etc. The sushi and sashimi were incredibly fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. You can really taste the quality in every bite. The teriyaki was perfectly cooked with a delicious glaze that had the perfect balance of sweet and savory. The edemame (plain and spicy garlic) is a must. The miso soup is always on point and flavorful. Everything we ordered was outstanding. The sushi chefs ‍ Paul, Jackie, and Sam were engaging, polite, funny, and fun. The service was a 10/10! Stephanie, Judy, love boat, Liz, and Grace are so attentive and sweet. We feel at home when we eat at Ichiban. It's like Cheers where everyone knows your name. The drinks were also fantastic--refreshing and the perfect addition to the meal. On top of the great food, the atmosphere was so fun and lively. It's the kind of place where you can relax, enjoy great company, make friends (Cindy & Jonathan) and have an all-around great time. If you're looking for delicious sushi, fresh sashimi, great drinks, and a fun vibe, this place is a must. Definitely a 5-star experience and I can't wait to come back!
