Ambiance: Ichiban is always a fun time, especially if you snag one of their cozy tatami rooms. It adds a unique touch to your dining experience, and they offer different sizes to accommodate various group sizes. Before heading in, I love to stop by the koi pond, which sets a peaceful tone for the meal.Service: The service is consistently friendly and prompt. This time, our server went above and beyond, surprising us with free desserts since we were celebrating a special occasion - such a thoughtful gesture! The staff here really makes you feel welcomed.Food & Drinks: We took advantage of their Happy Hour, which has great deals. We tried several HH dishes & drinks and were impressed with both. I also ordered the 5-piece sushi and roll combination, and it did not disappoint. Fresh and flavorful as always!Parking: Parking is fairly easy - lot is right in front of the restaurant, so no worries about hunting for a spot.Whether you're in the mood for Happy Hour or a sit-down meal in one of the tatami rooms, Ichiban delivers a delightful experience every time. Definitely coming back!

I thought I had given this place a review, but it appears this is my first. I have enjoyed my dining experience each time I have eaten here. The service is always excellent and the dining room reminds me of Japanese Restaurants that I visited in Okinawa. It has a sushi bar, tables with chairs as well as tables to sit on the floor (traditional). I ordered Poke (Tuna) this time. The dish was large and loaded with Tuna, caviar, veggies and rice. A great deal for the cost.

One of my favorite sushi restaurants in town! The service is always excellent, and the variety of seating is a huge plus. They have foor seating with cushions in elevated areas where no shoes are allowed! A very cozy and casual feel!Ordered some maki rolls and a few hand rolls! The unagi hand roll was fantastic with lots of eel! The salmon roll was tasty and fresh. Will have to come back and try more items off the menu

If you like raw fish, they got raw fish.The fish is good.If you like sitting with your feet in a pit, because your knees don't bend the way Japanese peoples' knees bend, they got pits.The pits are good.The room definitely FEELS the most Japanese of any of the sushi restaurants I have been to in Austin.We ordered the basic sushi/sashimi assortment -Which means we got a pretty boat and the standard ABC items.Salmon, tuna, yellowtail etc.There was a jalapeno dip we could have used if we didn't want to use wasabi.I understand why people use wasabi and tamari on sashimi.(It tastes good).But I still like my sashimi plain and naked.(Let me revise that last sentence.I like to eat fish that is plain and naked. I wear clothes myself.)Their ABC standard items are completely pleasant.The raw material here is good.I am curious about their more elaborate concoctions ...So as far as I am concerned, the jury is not in on Ichiban.But so far, I like what I see.

The inside of the restaurant was pretty. We were sat ithr back and was told to take off our shoes and sit on the floor like japanese restaurant. We got a lot of rolls and the chef gave us free fried salmon!We got:- sexy girl- ichiban- spider roll- Mexican orgasm- tempura ice cream- red dragon- samurai roll- white blanco- spicy susanI personally had the ichiban and spider roll. The ichiban was my favorite between the two. It had more flavor and exactly what I expected. For the other rolls, everyone else I came with was pretty happy with what they got. The tempura ice cream had green tea ice cream in it. It was pretty good and big for what you get!

For starters, we randomly found this spot on Google Maps and took a chance on it and we were pleasantly surprised. Ambiance: - Love the interior design and the koi fish ponds leading into the restaurant - There are a few tables that follow traditional Japanese dining seating so you take off your shoes and sit on a matt, this section had a ton of privacy and space! It feels way more intimate and comfortable than a regular table, just go with friends without stinky feet. Food: Honestly, given the price point, I really enjoyed what we got. It definitely is one of the better $/$$ sushi restaurants in Austin and I appreciate the variety of menu options. - I got the Tempura Udon, it was really savory and refreshing and not too heavy at all. The tempuras were potato, carrots, and shrimp which were all very yum. The portion size was pretty great too.- We also got the Ichiban roll which was alright. We weren't the most impressed with it. Service: - Overall - the service was pretty great. It did take a while for the staff to take our orders just because we were a bit more secluded. But they were super friendly and sweet the entire time!

Much better experience this last time we ate here. Our group got to sit at one of the traditional style tables with mats on the floor. The sushi chefs are familiar with some of the members of our group so they sent complimentary appetizers, which was very nice. Loved the presentation of some of the dishes in a big boat, and in a beautiful bowl of ice lit from the bottom. The sushi was good quality for the price too.

Sushi is okay but a bit overpriced for being okay, but not particularly great. Ambiance is very nice. Service was fast and friendly. I wouldn't go out of my way to eat here again but I'd go invited. I say give it a try.

Simple review - food was really good, I recommend the garlic edamame to start with. We ordered an assortment of rolls each fresh and tasty. Really good quality. Restaurant was clean and had tons of seating along with a sushi bar. It didn't feel crowded and the staff were attentive and friendly. Will be there again, hopefully soon.Walked into Ichiban on a random Wednesday afternoon with family in tow. The outside of the restaurant was without any arrogance. It was obviously a sushi restaurant but without a fresh coat of paint. I'm sure the Texas sun baked it away long ago. The was a lovely koi pond just before the entrance with the most vibrant koi. The water was crystal clear, someone put a lot of effort in maintaining it. We ere quickly greeted and service was prompt and attentive. Really was a gem. I wasn't crazy about the wasabi, not enough kick for me but that was super minor. They brought the rolls out on a tiny boat which was kinda fun.
