Ichiban Sushi & Ramen - Arlington

It wasn't crowded. We stopped in on a Tuesday night. We got seated right away and ordered some appetizers. We got our drinks and then ordered ramen and some teriyaki chicken! I also ordered a salmon roll and it was surprisingly good. I was hesitant just based on the previous reviews but glad I decided to get it. The spicy ramen was yummy in my tummy esp in this cold weather. It was loaded with deliciousness and I'm not complaining. The teriyaki chicken and rice plate's portion was huge and so was the kid's teriyaki plate. We took it to go!! My nieces ordered mochi ice cream for dessert too. It is conveniently located across from the movies so it's a good spot to check out.

Decent place with decent prices. Overall not bad for the price. It's close to my work so offers convenience. There's plenty of nearby parking in garages which helps. Service is pretty good and the setting is very casual but comfortable. I usually get the chicken teriyaki bento box which provides a well balanced meal. My wife and daughter had the pork and chicken katsu don (respectively).

It's been 7 years since my last review of Ichiban Sushi & Ramen, and so an update was in order, though I don't have a lot new to say. The number of good restaurant options in Shirlington has increased dramatically in recent years, yet Ichiban still holds up as among the best and most reliable simple meals in the neighborhood.The miso ramen remains an excellent version of this umami-rich staple, and at Ichiban, the pork miso ramen comes with an unusually generous portion of roasted pork slices. It's a great, warming bowl of goodness, with fresh bok choy and a perfect egg, and is one of the better value meals around here as well. If you'd like to control your own spice level, order it plain with spice on the side.Sushi is of high quality here, too -- just not otherwise notable.

This was my first time visiting Ichiban. The restaurant is open and there is even a full bar area. I ordered the chicken teriyaki bento box and a sweet potato roll. The bento box was okay. I think I would have liked a little more teriyaki sauce on the chicken. The gyoza was almost burnt so the taste was a little off. The miso soup was barley warm. I didn't think to send it back but that was a little let down especially since it was the first thing I tried. The sweet potato tempura roll was really good. Maybe I should just stick with the sushi.

Sushi honestly looked like it came from 7-11 or some gas station. Be the judge yourself and look at the pictures. I haven't written a poor review in a while but for a $8-9 spicy salmon and Miami heat roll, look how thin the layer of rice and how skinny the slice was. I could've made this at home! Even the Coca Cola wasn't even sweet since I think they're running low on syrup. Do note that I can't judge any of the other food items on the menu but if sushi was like this, I can only imagine. Idk it's disappointing bc the ambiance and service was good but the food... cmon y'all.

To be honest, I would never eat here again. Half our order never arrived and part of our order arrived wrong with the server arguing that we ordered what he brought. My roll was kind of bland. The entire restaurant is sticky from the tables to the floors and the bathroom door. Sticky. The handicap bars in the bathroom had a layer of grime on them indicating this establishment has a low priority for cleanliness. The hostess was on her phone the entire time, the staff all had earbuds in and didn't seem interested in answering questions. It was a disappointing dining experience.

Got takeout from Ichiban after a journey back from a crazy Memorial Day Weekend. We had some issues ordering online so called them to set up an order. My friend picked up our food and said the pick up was easy. She ordered their spicy ramen with pork belly and was really happy with it. I got their salmon avocado roll and scallop nigiri and found it to be just ok. I enjoyed their seaweed salad. I also got their miso and was left wishing they had more seaweed or some tofu in it. Their packaging for takeout was very efficient and good. Whenever you get takeout ramen there is a chance of it being messy, but they had a good system here. The pricing was also pretty reasonable here. While I mostly enjoyed our meal, I don't think I would go out of my way to get takeout again soon.

Love the setup here! Amongst walking in the energy was good! The staff was attentive and making sure we were checked on every minute. The food speaks in volumes! I love the sushi! I had some PhiladelphiaRolls and California's.. which were amazing and so fresh. I also busy down some selections of meat they had. The sake was hitting me all over the place. I ordered several of those. I was also able to get a parking validation which was great since I parked in the garage for Giant.

I love the food and the many menu options. The Hairy Mexican sushi roll and chicken ramen bowl are my go to. I will highly recommend

I stopped in this spot for lunch and I can't say it was my best experience with ramen in the area. The location is a pretty lowkey, decent size with a small bar and a couple of TV's. I sat at the bar for about 10 mins before actually being brought water or offered a menu which was surprising given the time of day and the fact that there were only 2 only customers aside from staff in the entire restaurant at that time. The menu provides a variety of sushi, sashimi, and maki options ranging from $6-$27 based on the type or combination. They also have fried rice and tempura options priced around $20, as well as ramen options with pork, beef, chicken, etc. ranging from $16-$19. I went with an order of California rolls, shrimp ramen, and the teriyaki chicken. The food came out fairly quickly the California rolls were solid, the shrimp ramen was subpar the broth was good but could have been warmer but the noodles even in the broth were rubbery and undercooked. As for the teriyaki chicken I didn't even get through much of it, the chicken was unseasoned and the teriyaki sauce seemed to have been dried out during the cooking process. On a positive note the server was courteous enough to remove the chicken teriyaki item from the bill given that he noticed I hadn't enjoyed it. Overall a bit of a disappointing experience.
