For sushi, it's pretty basic American options, but ... it's also in Marion, so ... not sure how adventurous northern Columbus folk are.

Three of us ordered hibachi, one ordered sushi. I believe the sushi roll only had 4-5 pieces and…read morewas too spicy for me to eat (although my tolerance for spicy is low). As for the hibachi, the steak, chicken and shrimp were all overcooked. The scallops were perfectly cooked. We got very little rice and vegetables compared to the others at our table. The soup was very good, The salad a bit disappointing because we were expecting a ginger dressing but instead it tasted like it was just tossed in yum yum sauce. Bottled water from Meijer. Just a disappointing experience.

Got shrimp and fried rice. Partner got steak. Both were cooked well and were tasty. Front of house/hibachi table were clean, which can be hard when you have smoke rolling around like crazy. Would definitely go back.

It's a nice quiet spot with a very nice owner and it deserves all of the business it can get. She gave us free sauces to sample too. The meat is cooked perfectly with the right amount of charcoal in the taste, and the veggies and rice are also better than many other places I've had. Genuinely one of the best hibachi experiences I've ever had, we will be returning to Bucyrus just for this restaurant!

We recently moved from the area to Columbus and we've found ourselves making the trip back for Ichiban. The manager is a sweetheart! If something makes you unhappy, you tell him, he'll make it better. He's friendly and attentive and we've talked several times about markets in Columbus and authentic places to eat in MY area so I don't have to drive to see him. How sweet is that? He's even treated us to an appetizer or desert now and then and mine always comes with an orchid. LOVE that! The staff are very friendly, attentive and helpful with questions and assistance with food allergies or even their preference. I've heard the manager discretely say something to staff and they are right on it, making sure every customer's needs are met. The sushi is very, very good and we love to sit at the bar, nibble on salad or miso soup and watch Chef practice his art. Meats are held at the perfect temp, each piece is made with love and the plate is beautifully decorated with flowers or painted with a sauce to look like a dragon or heart. Don't miss the Ikura (salmon roe sushi.) Little bursts of salt water with each bite! We have gone with friends who are not sushi eaters and their food was very good. The noodles are great, the chicken and shrimp are always just right. We have never been seated at the hibachi because our tables always want something different. We'll be back many times over.

Probably one of the worst meals we have had in 6 months dining out. Ichiban Sushi & Hibachi was…read moresimply terrible. From start to finish...the clear soup (served in almost every Habachi Japanese restaurant tasted like "ham"...everyone at our table thought so too), the salad dressing (usually light and "ginger" forward tasted like ranch dressing with rose water...just odd). Then they gave us only one sauce with the entree (supposed to be like yum-yum sauce...weird sweet and not a Japanese flavor at all). Next was our "Habachi chef"...lousy engagement with the table, did nothing to "perform" and entertain the kids (or adults) at our table. We also could barely understand him - not sure if it was a language barrier or him mumbling - he clearly could care less about his job or engaging with the customers. His cooking skills were dismal at best...used little oil, used little butter, added WATER TO EVERYTHING he cooked...and it tasted like it. Shrimp cooked with water is just steamed shrimp that is rubbery. NO FLAVOR and should have saute/soy color on it...no color at all (see pic) - no lemon even on his cart. The fried rice was a joke...white rice (with more water added on the grill) had tiny bit of soy sauce and 2 eggs for 5 orders of fried rice - no lemon...THAT'S IT...NO GREEN ONION, NO MUSHROOM, NO SESAME SEEDS and again no hibachi grill color to it. We could have gotten a better Japanese meal at Wendy's (and should have). We had no soy sauce on the table - had to go and ask at the bar for some. When they cleared our plates (with 1/2 the food on them), I told them that dinner was not good, but even that didn't get any attention...everyone suddenly couldn't communicate. DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME AND MONEY AT Ichiban Sushi & Hibachi in Mt. Vernon. Drive 40 minutes to Columbus to House of Japan or Benihana...where they at least care about the customer experience and know how to make Hibachi food!

The food itself was also very yummy and the portion sizes were nice. However, the restaurant as a whole felt very sticky and dirty. It made our group feel rather on edge because of how unclean things were.

The tables, chairs, and floors were very sticky. The sauce bottles and some of the utensils looked unclean.

I saw that the place had a couple of bad reviews, but I decided to try it anyway. I'm sure glad I did! I didn't experience any of the complaints that were described in the bad reviews. I found the decor, ambience, and the people working there to all be pleasant. I ordered my usual hibachi meal... filet and chicken combo, fried rice, no vegetables. Of course, it came with soup and salad. The salad was fresh, and it was a nice size portion. The soup was just as expected. The chef appeared shortly and verified the orders of the few of us at the table. He was an older man. He was very skilled at his job. He didn't go overboard with the show part, and the food was cooked perfectly. This was actually among the best hibachi experience I've ever had. Both the filet and the chicken, were a good sized portion, and cooked exactly as requested. I can't say I cleaned my plate, but there wasn't enough left to ask for a to-go box! And that is just how it should be, in my opinion. The price was also very good! Less than I usually pay for similar meals. Honestly, I can't think of one thing that I have a complaint about. That evening, I was talking to my friends that I'm traveling with. I shared my experience with them, and that said "Okay, that's it. We're having hibachi for dinner!" All I can say is that, maybe the few bad reviews prompted a change, or maybe there was something else. But I'm happy that I gave Sakura a chance. They earned this review, by giving me a great lunch experience.
