Ichiban Sushi - Kelowna

The sushi at this restaurant is top-notch, with a menu that offers creative dishes and beautiful presentation. The location is conveniently located with plenty of parking available, and there are never any crowded conditions to deal with.

This sushi restaurant on a bustling street is excellent. The food is delicious, and the interior is beautifully decorated with booths and tables.

We visited this restaurant last week and we were the only customers there.

Horrible service!!! Had a blonde server serve us, didn't catch her name but she was grumpy from the start. We asked for a table for 4 adults and 2 kids with 2 booster seats but she wasn't able to figure out a table for us and left the menu on a table and told us to figure out how we wanted to be seated. Since we needed 6 seats we connected a small table to a 4 seat booth for 6 seats on our own after she left us. After doing that the server was annoyed and told us to move the table back but did not offer us an option to be seated together. We then asked the sushi chef to speak to a manager after that point and was told the manager was not around. The restaurant was empty at 7pm with only one couple at a table. We decided on crossing the street to Momo Sushi which was jammed packed and couldn't get a table on the inside and was politely seated on the patio. There is obvious reasons why Ichiban was empty while another Japanese restaurant literally across the street is jammed packed. I cannot comment on their food but I DO NOT recommend this place due to the service.

The location is perfect right in the heart of kelowna. The food was really food the flaming dynamite roll was very nice. The salmon shashimi looked well prepared. Our server was nice. My teriyaki dish was good overall. All in all good selection on the menu. The service was good. My only knock was they needed another server or someone to clean the tables after the dinner rush. Still I recommend it.
