    Hibachi Salmon
    Lauren H.

    It's been a while since I've been to Ichiban, but I must say it's still delicious and the prices are still reasonable. I'm so happy they are still around and still have lunch specials. I got 3 sushi rolls for $15 total that's unheard of these days. Love this place!

    Sashimi appetizer

    Food was amazing. And plentiful. The service was terrific. The restaurant itself is in a strip mall and non descript. The reviews were great...that is why we pulled in. I would recommend to any sushi lover.

    Tried this sushi place near my parent's house (different from our regular place) and enjoyed it! I can't remember if we liked the happy or honey roll (one was a little fishy) but we also enjoyed the spicy 2 in 1. Would order again.

    Such a wonderful experience! We were greeted so warmly by everyone working there and our server took the time to help my mother understand the various choices since she has a very strict diet and the recommendations were FANTASTIC! Their food is so flavorful and the portions are very good for the price point. The restaurant had a nice variety of seating options and was simple, but beautifully decorated. We absolutely will return again!

    This place apparently does not do all you can eat anymore - at least not at 3 pm. on a Monday. We also arrived too late for the lunch specials. Upon entry, I noticed it smelled a little funky. I felt like our server was not in the best of moods. For the regular rolls, I did feel like portions were good. However, sushi was a little warm for my liking. This place was, unfortunately, a miss for me.

    Triple delight, honey roll, assorted sushi - yum!

    We've been ordering a lot from them during the pandemic for pickup, but only recently got a chance to dine-in. Delightful experience all around, definitely a gem! Honey roll is a favorite!

    Stopped in on whim with my friends on a girls' trip. We were seated quickly and the service was fantastic. My friend has a serious allergy to pineapple and once we told the waitress she was amazing at making sure pineapple was not anywhere near her food. The food was fantastic and drinks were very tasty although it isn't located in "Chicago-Chicago" we thoroughly enjoyed our meal and would eat here again.

    ​The all you-can eat menu gives you a chance to sample a lot for a small price. The menu is available Monday-Saturday until 3pm. They are closed on Wednesdays. The outside looks small but the inside is very spacious. The customer service was fantastic, everyone was very welcoming. The sushi was amazing, everything was fresh and delicious. The phoenix roll was so good that I ordered one to go.

    Ichiban roll, Mexican roll, Spicy angel roll

    Small and unassuming, located in a tucked away strip mall, is a local gem called Ichiban. Very clean and nicely decorated restaurant has just enough tables to make it feel like an intimate dining setting. Staff is pleasant, quick and works hard. The Dan Dan ramen is a warm spicy broth of pure goodness. The sushi is very tasty. The are following all the Covid safety protocols and offer carryout.

    Special Rolls from their all-you-can-eat lunch menu. Really good value.

People were really in here like they know what was up. We had the Korean fried wings and plain and in spicy garlic. We had the pan fried dumplings. And then we had the bowls with the udon noodles and fried rice. You can really stack your bowl of really nice and it's only 1599 for dinner very affordable and definitely worth the money. It was so many sauces to choose from very flavorful. Everything was fresh, clean and organized. This place needs more hype. If you go here, definitely try the bowl. Definitely try the wings and definitely try the dumplings. I definitely recommend and plan to come back.

This was my first time trying a bao bun and it was a great first impression!!! For my meal, I had the crispy chicken ramen -- first time for this as well -- and babyyyyyy, I may have found a new love!!! Everything about the bowl was amazing. The chicken was fried so good that even in the broth it still had crunch, and there were enough noodles for two servings if you ask me, esp since I had leftovers!! The corn and cabbage were also a good touch and I added egg! Lovedddddd this bowl. Perfect amount of spice and flavor!! Will be returning!!!! I also tried the lychee mango tea... bombbbbbb!!!!

We have dined-in, used carry out, and even catered for Christmas parties. We loved this place, until my most recent experience. On Tuesday, June 23, I wanted sushi and panang curry for my birthday dinner. It's a 30 minute drive from my house so 1 hour round trip to get carry out. I love their food so I was willing to make the trip - I ordered $160+ worth of food for a family of 5. Pick up was no problem. However, the overall quality of the food was TERRIBLE - super bland with all of the sushi rolls and even my fave roll from there, Godzilla was just AWFUL - didn't taste anything like it normally does. Three-fourths of the order was sushi so that was super disappointing. My daughters' chow mein didn't have any noodles - it was just straight vegetables. She wouldn't eat it bc she wanted the noodles. The panang curry was the only thing that tasted good, but that was only a small part of the order. I was able to speak to the manager (Peg) on the phone a couple days later and explained to her my experience and she basically acted like I was lying, making the whole thing up. That I was supposed to save the food we didn't eat in a cooler and bring it back to the restaurant that day to get some form of refund. That was the policy. Not only that, she also said their recipe has not changed nor had anyone else complain about the food that day. I explained that we already threw out the food so that wouldn't be feasible and she basically said then there was nothing she could do and that she had to follow this policy. I'm sorry but I'm not driving an hour to return the bad food that a restaurant served me - 1. How is that sanitary? 2. Why are you calling a loyal long time customer basically a liar? 3. What kind of customer service doesn't offer anything to a customer that had a bad experience at your restaurant? She didn't seem to care when I told her that MY FAMILY AND I WILL NEVER COME BACK! I couldn't believe that's how a manager would treat a customer especially one that had been coming back for many years and recommends it to others. NEVER AGAIN! BOTTOM LINE: RUN, this place has definitely gone downhill and their customer service is the worse I've ever seen. The only way to save this place is fire that manager, fix the quality of your food, and treat your customers better

It is listed as a Vietnamese crepe, but instead of the traditional, crispy rice flour crepe meant to be torn and wrapped in lettuce, I received a soft, soggy, French-style crepe. Because it lacked that essential crispiness, the crepe completely fell apart, making it impossible to wrap in lettuce or dip into the sauce. Furthermore, instead of being served with adequate traditional herbs and leafy lettuce, it came with standard iceberg lettuce. When I voiced these concerns to my waitress, she simply told me "that's how it's made" and made no effort to correct the dish or offer an alternative. I expected a much higher standard of authenticity and customer service from Thithi's restaurant.

So flavorful and delicious! We also ordered the oxtail potstickers and lemongrass beef lollipops, and both were excellent. Honestly, I could have eaten 10 more of each. For our mains, we ordered the pork belly sinigang and chap chae. The pork belly was incredibly tender and flavorful, and the chap chae tasted really fresh with all the vegetables. I also loved that the tofu was on the firmer side. We also tried the Sake to Me sushi roll. It was good, but compared to everything else we ordered, it wasn't anything particularly memorable. For dessert, we ordered the ginger carrot cake, and the restaurant was kind enough to give us a complimentary dessert, which was such a nice touch! The complimentary dessert was an ube-style dessert, and it was fantastic. Honestly, both desserts were delicious. DRINKS: I ordered the Lychee Simoy cocktail, which was really good. We also shared the espresso martini flight, which came with three flavors: traditional, ube, and chocolate chili. Surprisingly, the chocolate chili was my favorite, while the ube was my least favorite. That said, I enjoyed all three and thought the flight was a fun way to try different flavors. SERVICE: Our waiter was great! He was attentive and gave us great recommendations. It was also so kind of him to give us a complimentary dessert. Overall, I had another great experience at Sunda and will definitely be back! I really enjoy how their food feels unique and creative while still maintaining those familiar Asian flavors.
