Our meals were rounded out with miso soup and a salad.

Very u friendly, didn't smile and just looked like she was somewhere else. Bookmarked for next time!

Upon checking in we were sat at a 4 top and placed drink orders. We ordered sushi to start - I ordered a wagyu type sushi which was good. We also added a couple of rounds of dumplings which came out barely warm. For my entree I ordered a miso ramen- I asked for it without mushrooms. The taste was good. Overall I liked this place - bar area which was crowded and noisy, but the back seating area wasn't as busy and more laid back.

Service was fine and attentive. We like Ichiban and will definitely be back. Sushi and ramen are the biggies here, but there's other stuff too like bento boxes, fried rice and plenty of appetizers. We started out with the miso soup which was rich and flavorful. We also got the crunchy shrimp and crispy shrimp rolls. Both were good, but I especially liked the crunchy shrimp rolls. In addition, we ordered the pan-fried shumai. I'm used to steamed shumai, but I really like pan-fried. The dipping sauce that came with the shumai was tasty. JP ordered the salmon bento box. It came with endamame, pan-fried gyoza, carrots, sautéed onion, broccoli and white rice. The salmon with a nice glaze was delicious and perfect. I ordered the beef bento box. It was the same as the bento box, except instead of salmon, it came with a steak-like cut of sliced beef. This also was an excellent bento box.

Tried the veggie gyoza and the GOLDEN shrimp - that is a must order, so good! they do have Happy Hour from M-FR from 230- 630pm!! such a long HH, you need to take advantage of. The Seared salmon roll from the HH menu was my favorite. The Japanese cream puff was SO light, it was a perfect ending to our meal. The free parking garage next door (library parking) makes it so convenient. Highly recommend for a lowkey dinner date out!

If I was to give any critique on the food it wouldn't be what we had but what wasn't on the menu. My wife doesn't like raw fish and it seemed like they had very limited options for rolls with all cooked ingredients. Service Wait staff was friendly and everything was brought promptly. Ambience It is located in down town Alexandria in a very pretty place to walk around. Lots of restaurants around. This one has limited seating as others have mentioned by we didn't have any problems getting a table. I would come back here with my wife or daughter but would hesitate to bring a large party due to size. Price Two rolls and a drink was around $50 Summary Overall great place check it out.

Not only is the food great, but the interior is so cute and the ambiance is amazing. It has that cozy, intimate vibe with really fun decor, and they also have a larger dining area if you are going with a group. I have gone on weekday evenings for happy hour, and it has never been too crowded, which makes the experience even better. This place honestly feels like a hidden gem that I want to gatekeep but cannot. I always order the crunchy spicy salmon roll, smoked salmon nigiri, salmon nigiri, and tamago nigiri, and they never miss. Everything tastes fresh, flavorful, and well made. I have also brought friends here who are picky sushi eaters, and they all loved it, which says a lot. Definitely a spot I will keep coming back to and recommending. If you are looking for good sushi, great vibes, and a solid happy hour, this is the place.
