Tried to get pic of pretty & unusual chandeliers.

Again, they didnt disappoint. Service is excellent, staff personable and most foods fresh and plentiful. About 2-3 pm however, tho few people, the small beef and chunks of chicken and rice on sushi were too overdone..Hard n dry. But.. their shrimp? Large and excellent and plenty! I added a tea with strawberry boba and total cost was only )17.10!

Food

The food isn't always fresh, and today I found a dead fly in the jello. Really good service though. Drinks are good the food is good though but not fresh.

I was satisfied with Ichiban. The sushi was very yummy. Some of my other family members said that their chicken was cold and not very good. But other than that the food was yummy and the service was excellent the waiter was very kind and he was constantly got rid of our plates when we were done with them. The ambience was excellent I loved the vibe it was very chill and relaxing. I would definitely come again !!

Entree bar

This was a very clean place. The buffet bar was fresh and appealing. Staff were friendly and attentive. Definitely will be back again.

Exactly what you'd expect from a Buffet! Great option if you're feeling really hungry or just really nostalgic. Food was pretty fresh.

“Went there for the snow crab legs and was disappointed that it was cooked with other seafood and was dripping with sauce and hard to get out of the shell!”

Presentation is gorgeous, especially while dining at one of their tables. I especially love the avocado roll and the avocado peanut roll. I was happy to learn that the miso soup is completely vegan. I've enjoyed the vegetable tempura as well. The smaller portion is mostly sweet potato with a couple pieces of broccoli. On my most recent visit, I ordered the large entree sized tempura. While good, it too was heavy on the sweet potato but also included broccoli and asparagus. One piece of asparagus was too tough to chew, and I long for some mushrooms thrown in, but the tempura is very good overall. I'm not sure if I would get the tempura entree again as, while it includes miso soup and white rice (or fried, if you prefer), the salad that came with it wasn't anything to write home about. The side salad only consisted of chopped iceberg lettuce with a couple small pieces of cucumber, a thin half slice of tomato, and a dressing I didn't care for. I normally clean my plate, but I barely touched the salad. I don't remember the name of the imported beer I chose when I dined in. It was okay but a little too flowery for my taste. I'd definitely get something else next time. Prices are reasonable, and the menu is fairly large. I liked the atmosphere especially when I sat in one of their booths. I will most assuredly return as soon as I am able. I wish I lived a bit closer so I could have delivery whenever I get a taste for Japanese food. The only downside is that, though the particular dishes I get are filling, I'm very hungry again in a few hours. I may order extra to take home next time.

Tried over the weekend for a late lunch…read more I don't expect great sushi in Kokomo, there were a couple thing here that stood out as surprisingly good, others that were just off. The decor of the restaurant is that of an old English/Irish pub, including a bar in the center. They have enough seating for 20-30 people, but their business is set for everyone to take the food togo. They hand you a paper menu, and tell you to use a kiosk, but then if you want to pay cash, you have to deal with the person behind the bar. I ordered the Sushi appetizer and a bowl. The appetizer was a fair value, but they don't have sushi ginger, instead they had ginger strips, bright red, that they had diced - I had the same ginger in the bowl, but they left that in strips. All of the food was delivered to my table on a tray, using to go containers that you find in the grocery stores - including a plastic fork and soy sauce packets. Was the meal fairly priced - yes Did this place feel welcoming - no I would not go planning to eat in the restaurant - but if I wanted takeout while in the area, maybe? I guess they are shooting for the takeout lunch crowd at the hospital/hospital support offices I have gotten to the point I don't trust yelp, too many compensated reviews, too many fake reviews, but all they care about is quantity of reviews - how sad

I have had the pleasure of visiting this establishment twice before, and each time, I left…read morethoroughly impressed by both the service and the food. Unfortunately, my most recent experience was not as positive, and I found myself disappointed--though not due to any major issues. When I arrived at 11 a.m., right as the restaurant opened, there seemed to be adequate staff and they certainly weren't too busy to pay attention to the two tables dining at the time. I have no issue with staff taking a moment to chat, but I wish they had focused a little more on the guests who were dining. We ordered green tea, which is served in a metal teapot. The protocol is that if one person orders it, they receive the teapot, and if two people order it, they get one teapot to share. However, what surprised me was that despite finishing our tea, no one came by to offer us a refill. It would have been nice for someone to ask if we wanted more, especially given that we had finished the first pot. I also ordered the vegetable udon, hoping for a flavorful dish filled with fresh vegetables. Sadly, when it arrived, it lacked any vegetables and was quite bland. The overall taste was underwhelming, which was disappointing, as I had expected better. I pushed the plate to the side, indicating that I wouldn't be eating it. No one noticed. My plate was hardly touched, and not once did any staff member, including what I presumed to be the manager based on his demeanor, come over to inquire about my meal. He passed by my table at least three times without asking if everything was okay. I would have appreciated the opportunity to provide feedback. While I must say that everything else I tasted, aside from the udon, was delicious, the lack of attention to detail--such as not offering a refill for my tea and not inquiring about my dining experience--left me feeling neglected. It was truly disappointing to leave with an untouched plate and not a single word from the staff addressing my concerns even after we declined the offer container to take home the meal.

My previous review for Nori Japan still stands for the most part. However, that was written during…read moretheir grand opening phase. Once I returned for another visit, it just wasn't as good. I ordered takeout. Service was quick. It just wasn't as friendly as when they first opened. Maybe a little too fast? We were welcomed to sit in a booth as we waited. The wooden seating was uncomfortable. The seating area, table, floors, and restroom seemed sticky and dirty. It felt stuffy and greasy inside. My food was okay. It just wasn't giving an oomph feeling of wanting more. I like to be dancing in my seat with joy when consuming my favorite foods including Japanese fare. This didn't have that feeling. My tempura didn't sit well with me. I can't say it was food poisoning for sure, but I wouldn't order it again after that experience. I suspect old oil in the fryer perhaps. The hot tempura also melted through the Styrofoam containers they were in. I wish that businesses would stop using Styrofoam. While its being overpriced since it's the only Japanese restaurant in a town which already has extremely limited food options sort of makes sense, it's just not worth a third revisit for me when it comes to cleanliness and taste. On a positive note, I did take notice that the rolls I had were cut into much more manageable pieces this visit. That made it easier to chew without making a mess and looking like I lacked table manners.

Okay, so picture... you're in a place that was a bar and grill server veal cutlets not very long…read moreago. And you order... um... what's this again? Ah, okay, Japanese tempura, sushi, sashimi, okay, got it... except, why is the television on wall playing Chinese folk songs? And why is every single person on staff speaking Mandarin? All of the "huh" factor aside, this is a credible take on a middle of the road Japanese restaurant. And c'mon, this is in Peru, Indiana, not Carmel or Fishers. So, extend a little slack, tuck in, and enjoy a pretty decent Japanese meal!
