Ichiban Sushi & Tapioca

Love this place. My boyfriend took me here for hibachi n and it was great. The only downfall was it. It was extremely hot I feel like the air conditioner was not on it all because I was sweating but then again, they have the fire right there. Service was subpar, they only really came and checked on us once. I liked the kemah location. Maybe the staff was having a bad day. And I'm talking about the waiting stuff. Great trained professionals chefs!!!

If you've ever had good sushi, you'll know that this place is not fresh. Chirashi was room temperature. The sashimi was room temperature.The atmosphere of this place was nice. The chef and server was nice, but the food quality does not taste sushi grade.

Cute mom and pop shop that's very consistent. I always order Togo with them and my orders are correct every single time! Food is always yummy too

This is a small family run restaurant, very authentic, excellent food and quick service. All of the sushi was delicious - salmon and avocado, snow crab, and spicy yellowtail. We saw someone else order the Dynamite Roll, and went ahead to order it too - it was just perfect. Just one of our rolls was a little less presentable than the others, but taste was still fantastic, so I loved everything here, and we'll definitely visit there again in the future. We also ordered a Bento Box Pork Tonkatsu and a Chicken Tontaksu plate. Everything highly recommended, and I especially encourage everyone to support this small family-run restaurant, such excellent, authentic Japanese food.

I looooved the food here!!! The sushi is fresh and the ambiance is very relaxed. I would definitely recommend it!

Love this place! It's clean and has a very nice ambiance. Food was delicious and very reasonably priced. Service was fast and staff was very friendly. I think I've found my favorite spot for sushi and tapioca!

I really love the feel of coziness at this place! It is an ideal lunch spot for 1, 2, or small groups. I went in for lunch and wanted to try the tonkatsu bento lunch box. But because I wanted it with tempura, it had to be the dinner box. The portion was very generous. I even had to take some to-go. I would have like it more if the egg rolls were replaced with some sushi rolls. Nothing wrong with the egg rolls, it was just too many fried items for me. The shrimp tempura were the absolute BEST! I would order it again and again! The salad dressing was also delicious. The tonkatsu was unfortunately a bit overcooked for me. Next time, I will try the sushi!

Been coming to Ichiban for 2 years and it's always a great time coming here. The food is amazing and the service is always incredible. I highly recommend this place if you haven't!

I absolutely LOVE this sushi spot! The workers are very attentive and fast paced, and the ambiance is so cozy and simple. If it is packed -there's a 50/50 chance it is either very busy or there's barely anyone there- it isn't terribly loud and crowded, despite how small and simple the restaurant is. The menu is straight forward and the pricing is fair, not too cheap and not insanely expensive like other sushi places. I have yet to try their warm/plate dishes like the entrees or bento's since I favor sushi and appetizers, but I can imagine they're just as good. The sushi is made with care and perfectly portioned, anytime someone asks me for a good sushi place, I tell them Ichiban! :)

Customer service terrible here No explanation or suggestions for the first time customer.The fish for the sushi was old.Had to go to the counter were everyone was texting.No cool!!
