What User doesn't like about Ichibankan Japanese Restaurant:
Ate there off and on for over 30 years. It was the first place I tried sushi! Tried going there a couple of months ago, and it's been replaced by a not-very-nice hole-in-the-wall sushi place. The sushi conveyor belt was gone... End of an era! View all feedback. What User likes about Ichibankan Japanese Restaurant:
Visited on a Thursday evening and there was only one other patron. Hubby and I ordered the Salmon Special. The salmon was very fresh and cooked just right with some teriyaki sauce and served over a bed of bean sprout and came with a piece of chilled steamed broccoli.

In a world where cultural appropriation is at its maximum, Ichibankan is truly Japanese from the food to the chefs.

The waitress chose all our food for us and made excellent choices. Very relaxed, good atmosphere, reasonable prices.

Located in a traditional Japanese setting, Ichiban-ya offers fair-priced sushi with a variety of maki options. Though the decor may be lacking and service is average, the food is fresh and tasty, making it a convenient choice for a quick sushi fix. Some portions may have too much rice, but the prices are reasonable, ranging from $3.75 to $6.50 on average. Renamed and under new management, the restaurant has received mixed reviews in the past, but recent guests found the experience enjoyable. While not the fanciest spot in town, Ichiban-ya is worth a try for a satisfying sushi meal.
