Ichiban Sushi & Hibachi

Four of us ordered steak and they brought out a tiny steak and 1/4th of another and split it between us. This is steak, shrimp and double fried rice. This was our second time eating here. We thought maybe the tasteless rice was a fluke the first time and decided to give them a second chance. Just like the first time, the rice was egg, soy, and pepper - no other seasoning. The waitress really did a good job of keeping our drinks topped off, but aside from that, don't go here for the food. You won't get much for your money and it'll be rather tasteless. Two stars because of the waitress, otherwise they'd earn a solid 1 star.

The owners are wonderful, employees are also great! The food is always amazing and quick to come out. My #1 sushi spot and the hibachi is also delicious and comes in very generous portions. Don't get me started on the crab rangoons! Ichiban is always clean and comfortable and does lunch specials from 11:00-2:30!

Very friendly staff. But the food..... oh the food was very very bland. No seasoning other than salt and pepper on the rice. The Lobster tail was over cooked, very rubbery. The place was clean and looked nice enough. The music is kinda cool.

Pros:Easy parkingFast service In shopping mall near StaplesGood soup that comes with hibachi Ample barLunch hibachi is a good portion with protein (I got shrimp), rice, yum yum sauce, veggies (not from a bag and not overcooked which is nice)Reasonable pricesLarge, diverse menuCons:Seating is limitedInterior could use an updateSushi was fresh, but fish lacked flavorPro tip:If you find yourselves in little Mt. Vernon, definitely stop here for a meal. Well worth it.

Stopped in for a quick bite...not looking for complete dinners. Ordered sides of fried rice, hibachi chicken and hibachi filet mignon. Chicken in savory sauce...steak tender and tasty...cut it with a fork. Steak portion a bit small for $11...impact of "transitory inflation!" Plenty of rice for two. And wife liked the yum yum sauce. Good food and good service!

It took a few minutes for the staff to notice us, but we were promptly seated. Waited a bit to order, but not bad. She was pretty standoffish and we didn't really feel welcome. We placed our meal order and the water, salads, and soup came out quickly. Unfortunately they gave us yumyum dressing when we ordered ginger so a bit sad. Be advised the soup and salad cups are small like most hibachi places. It was a bit funny as you could tell they never change the decor. There was normal Asian decor items like a stone soldier, Buddhist 8 fold path wheel, and Japanese doll. Then there were the old Valentine's day decorations in places with a few Christmas lights and ornament cutouts at the same time. We sat at a table rather than a hibachi table. I ordered teriyaki tofu with white rice, miso soup, and ginger salad. Instead it looked like I had tempura tofu with rice, miso, and yumyum. The tofu was so soft it was practically dissolving and the fried coating did nothing to hold it together. The tofu was also sitting on what looked like an entire chopped onion and 3 pieces of broccoli. I like tofu firm and I don't like onions so it was a surprise since the menu didn't mention them. The sauce was also not very good, certainly not "delicate" like advertised. Luckily my boyfriend enjoyed his Thai Spicy Basil. His tofu was very firm, he liked the sauce, and his sat on a bed of mixed vegetables. It was about $24.62 for us before tax. I will note I like the imported sodas they have at the desk.

Came here on Friday for lunch. It was a recommendation from a coworker. When we came around 1145 it wasn't too crowded. We decided to sit at a table and order sushi instead of a hibachi table. By the time we left the place was packed! My friend and I split the lovers boat and crab Rangoon. The sushi was very delicious. It came with two rolls and a bunch of sashimi. The presentation was impressive. You get soup and salad to start with. I'll definitely be back when I'm in the area!

Really enjoyed this place. Ordered several rolls and all were especially the Out of Control and Crazy Rolls. Atmosphere is average not great but would definitely recommend and come back

If you want bad service, this is the place for you. The host had terrible attitude and made us wait for longer than we needed to. Do NOT COME HERE!

Love to dine at Ichiban! The service is excellent and the staff are so courteous and considerate. (We dearly love Floyd) We are always treated like we're family and the food is amazing. We are never disappointed when we visit there. We only wish the dining area was bigger so we didn't have to wait so long to be seated during peak times.
