This is a nice American Sushi/Teppanyaki that uses an ordering style more familiar in Japan than USA. The food is Japanese cuisine adjacent. You order by checking items on a laminated wipe-off page and it is brought to you. Don't order all of your dinner at once, take your time starters, soup, salad first. You may order as much as you want but it's considered exceptionally rude to waste food. Think of it as a buffet but instead of walking steam tables, you select what you want and it's prepared and brought to you. If you don't know what you like, try from 1-2 piece selections first. Pay attention to the * on items. There's a clear warning that raw and undercooked dishes have some risks. If you have weak tummy or immune, don't eat those. Also use caution if you have strong allergies - especially shellfish - as that's a common worry with any sushi/sashimi place. These dishes lean "California Style" but cover most diets. You will have a much better experience if you don't over-order any round. It's not expensive unless you've never eaten in the Grand Strand. Especially buffet style. There is no buffet that allows you to share a plate or take-home free. This IS a buffet just with a different food service model than most are accustomed to. It's also not a place for kids unless you know they eat this menu. They'll complain and you'll pay too much for it. Ambiance can be very nice and borders intimate. It's not Tokyo authentic but we're not in Tokyo. We (4) ate on Memorial Day Weekend '26 evening for just about $40 per seat. We all enjoyed our own preferences of Sushi, Sashimi, and Hibachi. We also all ate our fill over two hours. We'll be back, it's in our rotation. Wheelchair accessible with NO obstacles. Very attentive servers. read more

Ichiban - Sushi - Japanese Near Me - Conway, South Carolina

We went to Ichiban in Conway one random weeknight with my family just to check out their sushi buffet, and man, I'm so glad we did. We weren't expecting much but it totally blew us away. The spread is legit impressive with tons of options and the portions are generous so you don't feel like you're hunting for the last piece of everything. I went straight for the sashimi and honestly crushed it. Every single kind I tried was super fresh, great texture, and actually tasted really good. Nothing fishy or off about any of it. The rolls were solid too, however we didn't try their hibachi so I can't say anything about those items. For the price, the quality is honestly hard to beat around here. We've got a few sushi spots nearby but this one is quickly becoming one of my go to favorites in the area. If you're in Conway and craving sushi without breaking the bank, do yourself a favor and hit this place up. We'll definitely be back! read more

1. Ordering is weird and expensive. They give you a paper with their items on it, you fill it out and give it to them. Every time you want something. 2. $20 and eat whatever you want. It seems like a lot to me. 3. Most importantly: do NOT eat here if you have any food allergies. Despite being assured everything was handled carefully, I still got cross contaminated. I am deathly allergic to shellfish. It was a nightmare. read more

Do. Not. Eat. Here! They are attempting to recreate the wheel with a spin on "buffet" style. All while monitoring your orders and making everyone at the table eat the same items. Management is the worst I've ever witnessed and should not be allowed to serve the public read more

Worst sushi ever which is paper thin placed on a huge piece of rice. I'll give it a 1 because the gyoza was ok

First time going and most definitely last time ever!! I had an online order get to the place gave the hostess my name, she the proceed to check me out then say that the card reader blanked out and started over. I checked my account and the money was taken out for my food. She calls over the short guy I guess the manager he comes and tries to fix the computer, I show him where it was taken out he states "no it pending trust me it didnt go thru", he then goes well I charge u $10. Then tries to get irate before being put in his place. Nice building. PISS POOR MANAGEMENT read more

Another great trip to ichiban. This is the BEST all you can eat sushi in the area. The prices are high compared to most places however it is all you can eat so you can easily get your money's worth. We have yet to receive bad service and have been coming consistently since October of 2024. We do like to come during lunch hours since it's a little cheaper but if we're in the mood for sushi, this is always the go to. read more

We come here often, but tonight we had the best waitress. Fiona is awesome! We always get all you can eat sushi and for it being all you can eat, It's pretty delicious. I recommend the American dream roll. read more

Prices at this place have risen across the board, and if I buy food Under their ALL YOU CAN EAT so called deal, You can't take what I cant eat home with you. Strangest place to eat ever....So I touched the food on my plate and I can't claim it as mine....Weirdos here....I think the only obvious conclusion to come to is that they are recycling the food....it wouldn't be the first Asian restaurant to be cited for that in history. STAY AWAY FROM THIS PLACE. read more

I was looking forward to getting some sushi, fried rice, gyoza, and miso soup. Issue is the sauce and soup were very salty or sour. Sushi didn't taste very fresh and the worst part is I almost broke my teeth on the fried rice and truly though it was only one piece to find 5 pieces. For $30 this was not worth its price. Very disappointing since I was really looking for a sushi place. read more

Ichiban - A small bit of the very hard item in my fried rice. - Japanese Near Me - Conway, South Carolina

100% on their health report!!! Nice find tonight. Everything delicious. Interesting concept: all u can eat but you order off a menu. This probably reduces food waste....but if you turn into a little piggy and order too much, you will be charged by weight on your non-eaten food. I love this concept!!! You can always order more!!! I believe everything is made to order too...hot and fresh! My waitress was just amazing and attentive. read more

Ichiban - 99. Shrimp tempura Roll Gyoza 02. Edamame - Japanese Near Me - Conway, South Carolina

You can only eat so much of this type of food same old, same old my opinion is it's overpriced for what you're getting I really don't eat sushi but the other food is pretty tasty but for the price you're paying my opinion is well. I'll leave it at that. read more

The food does not seem to be the same quality as the last time we were there. Also, the price, like everywhere else, is going up. The service is always great. I love how they do the all you can eat. You can order as many items as you want as many times as you want. They make it and serve you so you don't have to worry about germy people at the buffet. We go with a big group so we get a bunch of different things and share them. This way you're not wasting food. I love the Hibatchi and sushi the best. read more

A bit pricey but I recommend going there for a big lunch! It's an all you can eat place but not buffet style. Each order is made fresh and as you order! Amazing sushi choices as well as hibachi and sides! read more

Everything is always good! The food is consistently good, service is excellent, its clean, nice cold air, and a fantastic value! We highly recommend this spot for sushi and more! read more

I have never been to a restaurant where everyone is required to order the same thing (all you can eat or menu)! They also charge you for leftovers. The food is not great and expensive. The servers keep an eye on you and not in a positive way. I would not recommend this place. If you want all you can eat sushi go to NMB ( King Sushi)! However, this place will jumpstart your next colon cleansing. read more

The service was okay. Their buffet idea is great! The food was a little disappointing. We paid for children, who don't eat and couldn't take their food to go. For some reason the overall experience was not the best. read more

poor service and demanded us to pay a certain amount of tip. they have lost a weekly customer

Always liked this place but recently noticed they are nickel and diming you. Got a styrofoam to go cup for my drink and they charged 1.00. And the price to eat has been going up every week. And the kicker. My table of 3 all ordered. Food came out but they held back on giving us another order sheet. Then we asked and they gave it to us but we had to wait quite a while before our second order came. We got the second order but we're full at that point from waiting. Not sure if this is just a coincidence or a new rule. Went last week too and they did the same thing. When your food comes out place your next order right so it's ready by the time you're done. Other than that the staff is nice and the food is good. read more

Great sushi and appetizer selections, will come back again everytime we go to Myrtle Beach

This place is so afraid that customers will scam them that they treat almost everyone unfairly. Cameras everywhere watching as families eat. This was our first visit there. The host (friendly) and manager (not so friendly - pacing back and forth) explained the menu and after some time, we decided to stay for dinner. We were told to ask our waitress for any additional instructions. When seated, we asked the waitress - "It's our first visit, what do we need to know"? She simply said we ask that you do not waste the food and please order any additional dishes from the menu once you have completed a dish. The food was hot and prepared well. At our final order, we were unable to eat remaining food, we asked to take the food with us as to not waste it and told she stated that we would have to pay $13.99. I explained again that this was our first visit, we are visiting the area and the policy was not clear. Also, we asked if she could waive the $13.99 due to those reasons. She appeared nervous, however she asked the manager. Upon return, she stated that the manager granted the request and provided 1 styrofoam container. We thanked her as we were very grateful, proceeded to check out with a tip on the receipt (the waitress requested a tip (???) The manager or owner walks by our table and said he did us a favor by allowing us to take the food, we thanked him. He was quite persistent about the "favor" even as we explained that we did not know. He was not hearing any of it and said loudly as he passed us "Do Not Come Back"! He became very confrontational and irate. I was shocked at his behavior as a manager because he told us it was OK to take the leftovers. Different menu concept, good food, poor management, terrified staff and dissatisfied customers! read more

This is our favorite place to eat! Great food and great service! Come with an empty stomach ready to battle read more

The food was very fresh, the service was great and we loved the menu concept. I would definitely recommend. Plenty of food choices

Waitress was great food not so much! Worst part was they charged an 89 year old who ate 1/2 plate full all you can eat price! Sushi had too much filling like panko . Made it dry and distracted from the fish flavor! read more

Great food at a great price! Service always on point too. Amazing selection of sushi, appetizers and entrees! Highly recommend!

I absolutely love this place! When I want to experience quality hibachi without sitting down at a restaurant this is my go to place. The menus is expansive, the food is delicious and the service is outstanding. Their delivery is unbeatable! Everything is packaged perfectly. Portions are HUGE. read more

Ok experience, service was slow and timing of the food was off. Meal came out right after appetizers. Shrimp was not cleaned. After 10 minutes of getting home I was throwing up from horrible food poisoning.. read more

Fantastic fresh food. Everything is delicious and the waitresses have been so quick and friendly.

Food was solid but the service was horrible. Waitress was barely attentive to us and we had to ask for simple things several times. For example, we asked for chopsticks three times. However, the table near us received them upon sitting. We never received the trays for soy sauce and our food came out slow compared to all the tables around us. On the flip side the tables were clean and the restaurant spelled clean. read more

This has been our go to for lunch or dinner. Food is always hot & fresh and service is always great. We don't like sushi so we have the hibachi meals which are soooo good. Plenty of food. read more

This place is horrible. The hibachi is disgusting. All the meat is dry. Service is okay but could be better.

Food was amazing, everything we ordered was delicious, hot and made to order. Service was also amazing, staff were very polite and helpful. Testirant was spotless and decorated well. This restaurant is definately one of our favorites in the Conway area. read more

I used to go there every week but today I was told about my order and how they charge for leftovers. Being there so many times I already know how much I order and how much is enough. They sent the server to ask me if I had read all the information about leftovers because I have ordered too many sushi's and I told I was aware and I wanted my order as I wrote down. They sent me a smaller order. I just paid and left, one of my worst experiences in restaurants at all. The food is ok but the ambient feels like they just want you to pay and leave. Hope they fix this service they have now and get better as they were when they opened. Don't say is all you can eat if who decides what you eat is the crew. read more

Always excellent food, good portions, and attentive wait staff. Food is always fresh and hot when served. A family favorite!

Awesome place, great food and service!!!! Best value in town and friendly staff!!! They also have to go ordering as well!

Use to be good,but policies,staff,food rediclous. Food is not all that,service is HORRIBLE, if one person orders from buffet,everyone HAS to have buffet, and if you dont finish your food,it is weighed and you are charged to bring your food home. 5 tables in resturant,6 servers, and had to ask twice for our drinks. When yiu ask for the check,your told "wait a minute" waited 15 minutes, never stiffed in my life. But made an exception. read more

Eh was Alr smelt like ass tho but it's a good thing because it reminded me of my girl

All you can eat, made to order sushi. Been here several times and it never fails to live up to my expectations. Great staff and great food.

Tried this restaurant based on a referral and glad we did! Everything we tried was fantastic, food came out quickly and our server was very friendly and pleasant. Would return again if back in the area! read more
