Some of the best sushi in the area. Friendly attentive family restaurant. Hardly ever a wait! Try Ichiban, you won't regret it. I tend to be picky when it comes to sushi restaurants and Ichiban has yet to disappoint. Because I usually order sushi I haven't tried many entrees on the menu, though they all look absolutely delicious. If you're in the mood for sushi, or just want to try something different, this is the place. read more

Amazing sushi and korean dishes here! Jimmy, the owner, takes pride in his business and it definitely shows throughout the restaurant's decor, design and menu. I enjoy the maki rolls, clam soup, udon noodles and the mango fried ice cream. Always a great dining experience. read more

This place was a good yelp find. I came here on a Saturday night - the staff was great. You get a small dishes before your food arrives. I tried everything and everything was so good. Good kimchi, good fishcake, i dont know what the rest was but everything was good. Sushi was also really really good and inexpensive. Highly recommend this place. Place isnt as glamorous but prices are great! Cant wait to go back. I had the spicy tuna and extra spicy tuna roll (has another name I cant remember). The extra spicy one has wasabi oil on it i believe and its literally breathing fire for a second lol. If you like spicy - this is the way to go. read more

In town for business and so glad I found this place. The food was delicious and the people were some of the friendliest I've ever experienced. The gyoza were amazing. Tasted really home made. The bibimbap was also really good. Definitely a great place to eat. Good sized portions. Highly recommend. read more

When I found a restaurant in RI that served Korean food, I was beyond happy!! Of course, I had to order the Hwe Dup Bab. It was very good and the chili sauce is always a deciding factor. There were only two things I didn't care for. 1 - there were huge slices of garlic at the bottom of the bowel. I am not used to that and it was a little bit too much. 2 - of course my bf had to order a scorpian bowl to share as our drink and unfortunately it didn't taste like one at all. It just tasted like a big mai thai. Which we do both love also, but not what we were expecting to get. We haven't tried the sushi yet, but we definitely will next time. read more

This has become my new sushi go-to spot. Great assortment of rolls and sashimi. I've also had several of the noodle dishes and have NOT been disappointed by any. If you like heat with flavor, this is your spot. I was sweating over a spicy seafood stew but I just couldnt stop eating. Also tried the chef's special squid dish...yeah..it was aweosme. read more

My wife and I tried this place after reading all of the positive reviews on Yelp and we were not disappointed. The sushi was great and the service was friendly, fast and efficient. The decor is cute and the place is clean, but I prefer Kon for overall ambience. It has a typical neighborhoodie feel to it - which is not a bad thing at all - but it's not overly impressive either. The prices were very reasonable and I would highly recommend it. read more

Excellent. Wicked yummy dinner and they are happy to customize. We even designed our own roll tonight. Sushi is always so fresh.

Everytime I have to travel somewhere I'm sure to hit up all the sushi joints and this one by far has been the best one in RI. I liked that they had some Kpop playing in the backround too. Presentation, taste, and service was great. read more

Not may favorite, but I have never been disappointed either. Good food great drinks and decent desserts...

I haven't been in a few years, but I used to frequent it and it was a very good place for sushi. Can't say much more cus I haven't been in a while.....I've have to pay them a visit. read more

Five star Korean food with excellent service. Best sushi around bar none always made fresh. Full serve bar. Owners always ready to please. Nice atmosphere. Plenty of parking. read more

Best sushi ever! Always fresh, prices are decent and they have soooo many different kinds of rolls, all super yummy. Dessert is just ok, onlme time I had the mochi and it was good, another time it was not! read more

Ichiban is a magical place. I have been to MANY sushi joints in RI and this is my go-to spot. It is never crowded, the service is always good, the food always fresh and tasty, and the prices reasonable. I probably end up here almost weekly. read more

I had a great experience at Ichiban. The food was amazing and authentic. I had a pork dish which was very similar to other dishes I had at authentic Korean restaurants. My girlfriend had a very interesting dish served in a warm stone bowl that was stirred by our server. Very interesting food. Our appetizers were also very good and the warm Sake hit the spot. I noticed a very nice looking Sushi bar as well but we did not partake. Large portions. Attentive service. Will come back. read more

Try the Crazy Dragon roll, it's amazing! Decent Korean food too, try the Kalbee. Best of all is the friendly atmosphere among the waitstaff, hosts, and sushi makers. The owner, Jimmy, is great! read more

One of the best traditional Korean restaurants in RI.

Been here a number of times. Food and service are consistently excellent! By far our favorite sushi in RI.

I was highly dubious about trying a sushi restaurant in this unlikely location, but so glad that we did. Super fresh and high quality fish are the hallmarks here... There are a few fancy rolls but mostly the sushi menu is simple, just like I like it. The overly-enthusiastic squirt-bottle saucing and tempura-bit mounding that some "fancy" sushi places indulge in do little more than make me suspicious. This place is a diamond in the rough; a bit overdue for some decor updates and a good scrub-down, but as long as they keep rockin the sushi we'll be back again and again. read more

My boyfriend and I try to eat here every week. BEST sushi we've had. Their staff is very friendly and the food comes out fairly quick. Their menu is amazing as it offers unique rolls with various fruit on top such as kiwi and mango. The foods very consistent and I have yet to be disappointed. read more

The food was delicious and the service was amazing. Our waitress was very good and picked out a good selection of maki rolls for us. The owner came over toward the end of our meal to chat and told us about the origin of some of the rolls. He also brought us over a special creation he just made that was like a seafood ice cream cone. Great experience overall! read more

Delicious sushi and Korean food. The best in the area. The staff is great. I recommend anything from the sushi menu.

The starters that they bring out are great and the sushi is fantastic. Their house brewed barly tea is AMAZING however the service was really not the best but I would definitely go back read more

I love Korean food and I was excited when I found out there is a Korean restaurant near my office. I previously ordered lunch combos and the food was delicious and full of flavor! However, the other day ordered the bibimbap & I regretted ordering food from there. They basically gave me a lot of rice with little vegetables or meat. I had to add soy sauce (which I rarely do) to make it more edible! It was still bland after the soy sauce. It lacked flavor overall. I can get better food for $15 bucks. read more

The food here was amazing. The rainbow roll sushi was delicious and is beautiful too. The shumai were tasty too. I would recommend the spicy seafood & veggie soup with noodles. It was very flavorful and a generous portion. The tempura bananas were a hit with my daughter. We're happy that we found this restaurant. read more

A group of us visited Ichiban for the first time because we had a Restaurant.com gift certificate. We started out with a free sampling of 4 or 5 items, not sure what they were; kimchi, black beans, tofu? Whatever they were, it was good. We ordered various teriyaki dishes, sushi, and pork bulgogi. Everything was good. Wait staff was friendly and quick. Only bad thing, they charged us for a soda refill. Seriously? Def will be back if we're in the area, or have another gift certificate. read more

Absolutely crave this place!! California sunshine roll is awesome!! Only gave 3 *** because a few times I went the shrimp was not cleaned and the service was extremely slow. But the food is excellent and I will be back again read more

I love their sushi. My wife loves their sushi. Our neighbors love their sushi. Our friends love it too. This place sets the bar pretty high for sushi in the providence area. Just straight up good. Whether something simple like a piece of fish placed neatly over some rice or a complex Dragon roll these guys nail it with perfect texture, flavor and consistency to deliver a great dish time and time again. I need to get some chopsticks for their chopstick wall. One of the few Gems in Cranston. read more

Went here last night for dinner. It was our first time. The service was good and the atmosphere was good. We ordered Crab Ragoon and edamame for the appetizers, these were really good. However we ordered the sushi for the main course and it was just not good. We wish it was better, but we won't be going here for sushi again sadly. read more

Great owners and fantastic food...can't ask for anything more. Sushi is fresh and well presented. They nail all the Korean dishes - bulgogi, kalbi and bimbibap all on point. Fantastic lunch specials as well. Best Korean spot in RI hands down. read more

Always fresh. Always delicious. Staff is always friendly and attentive. You really can't go wrong here! We have tried other sushi restaurants "for a change" only to always come back to Ichiban! read more

Drove by this place for years until a friend put me on. Hidden gem. It's a little dark inside but the rolls were fresh and beautify crafted.

Have been going to this place for years ever since it opened. Have never had a bad experience. Usually get shrimp dream, grace roll etc. Awesome! Also have tried their chicken teriyaki meal. Also great. Their chicken tempura app was one I tried recently and can't wait to come back for it. But last two times, I finally ordered their chicken fried rice. Oh my goodness! I'll never go back without that being part of my meal again! Friendly friendly staff as always! Place is clean. Great for dining in or take out. Have probably been around 50 times. Nobody I have introduced this place to hasn't become a regular customer afterwards. Not cheap. Not too expensive. But soooo worth it! read more

Great Food and service, to the person who thought Haruki is better Sushi, I guess they haven't had the freshest as this is miles above Haruki's, prices are good. My favorites are the Shumai, the Yakitori, the dumpling soup and pretty much all the Sushi with Unagi Maki my favorite. Tempura is terrific! My least favorite dish on menu is the Yakisoba, but I never had that anywhere where I liked it. The staff are South Korean and are such nice people! I get takeout often but when I do eat in, the service is impeccable, nice clean fun atmosphere. 5 Stars for me! read more

I have dined at a few places in the area and I wouldn't have come here if i didnt spot it when taking a long "shortcut" home one day. Stopped in for lunch and lets just say. You know you like sushi when its served to you like a feast! While customer service can be improved, least the food makes me feel better. I am a fan and its ok in my book! read more

I've been coming here for years exclusively for the sushi, and have never been disappointed. It's consistently clean and quiet (probably due to its out-of-the-way location), and the sushi is always fresh, and delicious. You can find more variety and excitement in other sushi restaurants, but I'd rather be impressed by the tenderness of the fish than some trendy new maki roll or ultra-arty decor. The restaurant seems to be owned by a family very much involved in every aspect of the business, and it shows. Bonus: try the purple haze (sake and chambord). Surprisingly delicious! read more

This is by far my favorite place for sushi. Beside the food being good so is the service. I have been trying other restaurants for sushi and they can NOT beat the food here in my opinion. The only thing negative anyone could say is the place needs a make over. It's dark lighting and decor is out dated BUT it's clean. STILL LOVE THE FOOD read more

Maybe to someone not used to Korean cuisin would think this place was pretty decent. I had been in town and was excited to find a Korean restaurant to experience. First off, decor isn't something I am a hard critic on but when I walked in it reminded me of a run down diner with little lighting, and really old booths and seats. I am wondering where the great reviews on decor are coming from... Next, the important thing, food. I got the kimchi pancake, a personal favorite of mine. It wasn't too bad, but a little over cooked and I was looking for actual pieces of kimchi. Me and my family ordered the stone pot bibimbap and yuk gae jang soup. The stone pot was such a disappointment! Underneath the veggies I looked and it appeared to be some type of soup... Nope, it was actually rice drowning in oil. Not a little, not even a little much, basically oil soup. I couldn't even eat it, although I didn't say anything. The soup was a little better, but there was some type of greens in there that looked over due, I couldn't even tell you what type of vegetable it was. The best food was the dynamite hand roll, no problems there. The waitress was really nice, and that was basically the best part of the experience, needless to say, my son has thrown up and crying all night, and I am also not feeling to well. read more

My favorite sushi of all time. Best place I've been to!!! Sushi is always fresh and delicious, staff is so friendly and remembers my friends and I and what we all order. I love the little Korean appetizers they serve, so amazing!! Carols roll and mango shrimp are to die for. Love the lunch special too!! Not only is the sushi perfect but the other food is great too. I come here any chance I can get! I love it! read more

Not the best and I've had worse. I guess here you don't get choices up here. The ambience is good enough for a hook up meal. Some improvements like fresher fish, they can get rid of the wings, they are frozen not spicy but they are sticky. read more
