    12 piece Lunch Sashimi ($19.50 on GH), Unagi Nigiri ($8.50 on GH)
    Wendi K.

    I ordered delivery from this restaurant. I tried the Lunch Sashimi ($19.50 on GrubHub) and Unagi Nigiri ($8.50 on GrubHub). I discovered my new favorite sashimi piece - Escolar in their lunch set. So buttery and rich! The remaining fish arrived in generous pieces and was fresh - 12 pieces at this price is an excellent value! The delivery person was prompt and courteous - I believe he was directly employed by the restaurant, not by GrubHub. Cannot comment on the interior since I did not eat in, but it seems cute from the photos! Great food all around!

    Restaurant was busy but open for seating for an early Saturday night dinner. The sushi was fresh. Service was fine with no concerns.

    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!

    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!

    ​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.

    Sushi was fresh and really good. Second order took a little longer than expected, but overall still a great experience. I'd come back.

    It is not ayce on Sunday, but that is not advertised until you are sat. The prices are unreasonable to order by the roll.

    We came here on a whim. My husband previously visited here, but did not have a good review. I'm so…read morehappy that we spent the block because it is amazing. This restaurant does not give small vibes. It gives stand-alone vibes, and I hope they can expand their business one day. Think about a Asian chipotle that's the vibe that it gives but better. The service was so good. The food was fresh and delicious. My kids even ate the food. I mean, the staff was even very nice in the service area was clean. 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.

    I hate that I have to leave this review because I went when they first opened and it was nice. I…read morewish ZERO stars was an option. There was miscommunication about takeout policies with the all-you-can-eat meal. First, the waitress said pack the first bowl to go and then you can get a second to sit down and eat followed by the all you can eat policy. Then she told we must eat all the first bowl to get the second one to go. She stood around and watched to make sure of this !!! My Gma ate her first bowl and wanted a second and was told if she got a second bowl the food would be weighed by the pound. At that point we asked for a manager because she paid for all you can eat and this is now the 3rd story from the same waitress. The manager came and basically called us liars and when my Gma told her she would not pay by pound because she paid for all you can eat, she dumped the food in the trash then readjusted the receipt . She was very rude and unprofessional . They lost 6 customers (and everyone all 6 of us will tell) over a bowl of food.. ALSO, we heard a table complaining of roaches !! There is so much raw meat exposed, I knew it wouldn't long !!! DO NOT COME HERE !!!

    My fellow Aquarius friend and I recently dined in at Thithi's Restaurant for a belated birthday…read morecelebration, and it was such a great experience from start to finish. For food, everything hit the mark. I ordered the Garlic Peppery Shrimp, which was perfectly seasoned and full of bold flavor, along with the Thai Egg Rolls, crisp and satisfying. My friend had the Crispy Basil Catfish, which was cooked beautifully, and for an appetizer she chose the Crab and Cream Cheese Crispy Rolls. The drinks deserve their own moment. We celebrated with cocktails from their extensive drink menu. My friend enjoyed Sidecars, while I tried the Guava-tini and the Jungle Bird. They were so good that I completely forgot to take pictures--always the sign of a great cocktail! Between the flavorful food, fun drinks, and relaxed celebratory vibe, this was the perfect spot for a birthday dinner (or any special occasion). I'll definitely be back and highly recommend dining in if you're looking for great food and cocktails, as well as personable service. I will be sure to capture some of the wonderful cocktails on my next visit.

    Very good and strong drinks. I believe I got a rum punch or something similar. It was strong Ang…read moredelicious. The food was very good, I just didn't like that the snapper had all that sauce and vegetables over it in a sweet sauce. The fish itself was good the land and chicken were delicious, however the plate needed a vegetable with the meal. My cousins love the catfish and fried rice. Definitely worth giving this place a try.
