Ichiban Japanese Steakhouse

We ordered takeout dinner (for four) over the phone from this Japanese Steakhouse restaurant and went there to pick it up after half an hour. Although prices are a bit on the high side, the quantities are hefty and the food was delicious.

First time at this hibachi and probably our last. We ate lunch here at 12:30pm and I still have a weird taste in my mouth at 10:45pm. Almost like a burnt grill taste. The food was not very good but the service and atmosphere were great! Our server was great with our son and very attentive. For three people (2 adults 1 child) you would think a $178 bill the whole thing would be fantastic. I would rather have terrible service than terrible food.

Haven’t been in a while and won’t be going back. The food was terrible. Shrimp tempura was sprinkled with some sort of seasoning salt. The dipping sauce was inedible, salty, and not like a tempura sauce in the slightest. Also two fishy-tasting and small pieces of shrimp, one sweet potato and zucchini medallion, and one small piece of broccoli was $13.50. Hibachi was the worst I’ve had and went unfinished. Rubbery shrimp and scallops. As before, the shrimp tasted off. The place was also filthy. Sticky floors, the most disgusting high chair, menus that were stained, sticky, and tattered. Sushi was okay, fried rice was good (but an upcharge with hibachi when it’s normally standard fare, even when I went years ago). Service was good. That’s the only reason I’m not leaving one star.

The hibachi grill experience was a highlight, with the chef entertaining us while cooking the food right in front of us. I had the filet mignon, and it was perfectly cooked, tender, and full of flavor. The vegetables were sautéed just right, and the fried rice was delicious.Definitely worth the visit if you're looking for great food and entertainment.

Food was not as on point as usual, but the atmosphere was top notch. The servers were super friendly but it was the end of the night on Sunday and it took 40 minutes for water, then our table was moved, from a super sticky table to one that wasn't. It was our Christmas party and we enjoyed ourselves but one of the staff (managers?) Came off as a bit...unkind? Maybe she was stressed. I don't know but the chef was great! Just the food was only ok this time. It happens. Drinks were good.
