I love coming to Ichiban, they have amazing sushi rolls with so many options on the menu. This has become my go to sushi spot in Fort Myers. I do believe that they are a small business and family owned. The service is always great, they are quick and nice. The space is a bit small but it feels cozy. Maybe one day they will open a second location or expand. I love their location because it's always nice to take a little stroll downtown after having your belly filled with yummy food. Whenever I'm in the area and I'm craving sushi, This is the spot. read more

Ichiban - Roll - Chinese Near Me - Fort Myers, Florida

The yellowtail sashimi melted in your mouth! The yellowtail and scallion roll was fabulous! We can't wait to come back. It was our first time. Our server Anyssa, was the kindest, most accommodating server I've had in years! read more

Coconut shrimp bento lunch box. Yummy food, came fast and tasty. I love this place. The sweet potato roll was delicious. Great service. Clean and bathroom was clean. read more

Sushi was good!!! Lots of choices, both classics and regulars. Had lots of noodle and appetizer dishes as well, but I was there for sushi. Small environment, so expect slower service since sushi is rolled and dishes cooked with minimal staff, but great with a lot of taste. I ordered 3 rolls and it came on a special bridge plate - super fun! read more

Ichiban - Yellowtail Extreme California Roll Fire Dragon - Chinese Near Me - Fort Myers, Florida

We popped in for a quick dinner while in downtown for a salsa class. I like that they had both Japanese sushi and Chinese dishes to choose from. My friend and I shared a California roll and the chicken with mixed vegetables dinner with fried rice. The portion size for the chicken and vegetables dinner is definitely shareable. We ended up boxing up leftovers. The chicken and mixed vegetables also came with a side salad or your choice of egg roll or Crab Rangoons. The service was fast and we received our dishes pretty quickly. I noticed they were also busy with a lot take out orders as well. Definitely would try again if I was in the area. The prices were very fair compared to a lot of other Japanese restaurants! read more

I arrived at Ichiban at about 6:45. I was seated promptly. I was greeted again by a very kind server who quickly took my order and returned with my hot tea within 5 minutes. Her service after that was pretty slow. The food took a long time to come out and I had to send it back because it was cold. My egg roll came out long after the chicken dish and rice. When I got my food back it was hotter, but still not hot enough. There was a nice amount of chicken, the flavor was OK. The stir fried rice was pretty basic with egg and soy sauce. Definitely nothing special. The egg roll was pretty average too. The atmosphere is fine and they were very busy for a Tuesday night. I'll come back, but tonight really wasn't their night. I'll probably just stick with the sushi which I recall was pretty good. read more

A delightful little Japanese restaurant with loads of sushi and sashimi options! Their hit and sour soup was an incredible mix of carefully cut vegetables with added crunch. Delightfully spicy! read more

I am always satisfied and I will wait as long as I have to. The pork fried rice is so delicious, it takes me back to when I was a kid in NY, the egg rolls and soup to die for. Definitely a 10 in my book. read more

So, word to the wise - make reservations for dinner in advance when staying in Downtown Ft Myers in season (at least on the weekends). We found out the hard way that it's nearly impossible to get a table many places. Luckily, Ichiban was able to seat and feed us after lots of wandering around asking for tables at other places only to hear of 1-2hr waiting times. The menu lacks sushi options, but has plenty of other items depending on what you're looking for. I wanted sushi however and went for the "deluxe" option. Despite being very busy, the staff was hustling and the order came out after a moderate wait. We had some edamame to start, followed by a couple sushi combos, served with salad or miso soup. Pretty standard Japanese restaurant stuff. The sushi was more than palatable. I've had better and I've had worse. I'm general, the place was a little greasy and smelled of fried foods. It wasn't our first choice, but was fine for what it was...a place to sit down and eat on a busy night downtown with no reservations. read more

Ichiban - Sushi Deluxe - Chinese Near Me - Fort Myers, Florida

So happy I finally got my friend to go to this restaurant. When I was in jury duty, a police officer showed me this restaurant when we got to take a lunch break. It was really good then and it was even better this time. We tried the sweet-and-sour chicken you get two sides. I try the crab raccoons. I gotta tell you they were the best I've ever had anywhere and I've had them all over the place. My friend tried general Tao chicken. She didn't want it spicy. It wasn't, but it was flavorful and delicious. She tried the lo mein with it, which was really really good. The table next to us had sushi. It was amazing. It was like a platter that was beautiful. It was a vegetable roll. It was absolutely amazing and when I asked them, they said it was delicious. Next week will be bringing back other friends cause everybody's always just looking for a good Chinese/Japanese restaurant. read more

The server was kind and patient with me as I am not well versed in sushi and don't like eating anything raw. My vegetable roll was delicious , the chili garlic edamame was amazing and I ordered a noodle dish that was also very good. My husband ordered a California roll and didn't look thrilled - that's why the 4 out of 5 stars. It was such a hot day I loved that even the outdoor seating was inside. I would definitely come back again. read more

My friends and I meet there every week. the food is fantastic, they are large portions and very reasonable. we've tried almost every dish on the menu and we've loved all of them. Mimi is a great server! read more

Ichiban - California Roll, Spring Roll (2), Eel Sauce - Chinese Near Me - Fort Myers, Florida

This place was the bomb-diggity for sushi, killing other sushi haunts that attempt to compete. I ordered a ton of sushi rolls, which my lady and I destroyed. We didn't leave anything left -- not even ginger. Located in the mall part of the Indigo Hotel, Ichiban was glorious and good, good and glorious. We were in town to celebrate one of our friend's birthdays; the birthday girl requested a sushi celebration, which no one opposed (nor should they). I've been to many sushi bars in my time, and this one was grand, grand in a way that made me feel like a king among kings, staring intently at his rings to where the caged birds began to sing until the halls started to ring. But I digress. I ordered a few rolls for starters, such as the Volcanic Eruption, Green Dragon, and Sunshine rolls, served on a bridge -- not a boat, a bridge. All burst with tasty goodness and delight that I remembered them on my palate for many nights. Moreover, the Yellowtail Extreme roll was especially tantalizing, while the Eel sushi and Mackerel sushi we ordered on the side was a nice final touch to an evening where we washed it all down with this lovely pineapple saki for spiritual oneness. If you're passing through downtown Fort Myers, then stopping here if you have a craving for sushi is a must. If you're staying at the Indigo Hotel, then even better because Ichiban is a stroll away from the lobby entrance where you don't need to go far to eat. If you've been day drinking and need to scarf down some tasty goodness, Ichiban is king if sushi is what you are craving. read more

The food here was really good, great sushi and sashimi. The seafood taki udon was beet good. Lychee sake was Excellent. The service was attentive. Definitely recommend read more

Not busy. I am one of 4 people here. It's a Wednesday evening around 7pm. By the looks of downtown there are some bands playing so maybe that's why it's not busy. I ordered the Philly roll and spicy tuna. Both were fairly plain, as expected. These aren't fancy rolls. But they had a decent flavor. Fish was fresh and tender. read more

Located just outside the Indigio Hotel. Nice place. Very small inside. There were 10 people inside and a large group (9) came and they had to sit outside. Service was very attentive. Food was good. I had the standard, General Tso's Chicken with white rice. My wife tried something different, Chicken and Walnuts Bento Box. My was good, nothing special. My wifes was "different". The chicken looked like it was coated in mayo. She said it good. Hmmmmm. They had a full Sushi menu, and looking back, I wished I had tried that. Some of the platters that came out looked very" presenting". Next time. read more

Great food but won't prioritize your order over online orders it seemed like. Don't walk in to order take out. Either sit down or order online. read more

It is constantly good and the staff are always friendly. Casual ambiance which occasionally can become noisy if crowded.

Very good food- but unfortunately, VERY poor service. Staff was not friendly at all. I wasn't acknowledged upon entering the restaurant & had to find someone to ask to be seated. No one came to check on me for about 10 minutes. It took a long time for them to get me my drink & didn't even get my menu until after that. There was just a lot of waiting in between. Not a very welcoming place at all. read more

Ichiban - I'll be honest... The server just brought us one rolled it wasn't wrong and one rule that I pointed to and said bring that... - Chinese Near Me - Fort Myers, Florida

This little place was tucked away in a hotel so it felt like a hidden gem. Best sushi i've ever had personally. It was so flavorful and they were willing to even switch out my salmon for yellowtail which was greatly appreciated. Staff was so kind and made this an all around great experience. read more

Ichiban - Spicy Yellowtail Roll (top) and Volcano Eruption Roll (bottom) - Chinese Near Me - Fort Myers, Florida

Terrible service. I sat at the bar alone, and someone said they'd be "right with me". 18 minutes later I flagged a woman down who was extremely rude. She never offered me a beverage? There were 2 other tables who already had their orders. The bell rang for my order and it sat there for about 10 minutes. Waited a total of 64 minutes from sit down to getting food. Food was mediocre to subpar. "Spicy" tuna had no spice. Ambience was nice. She didn't bring me my check - I had to walk up to the counter. Watched her serve 2 other tables immediately and bring them their check. I guess single women aren't welcome. They charge an 18% tip automatically. read more

Ichiban - Sweet Potato Roll & Avocado Roll - Chinese Near Me - Fort Myers, Florida

Sushi is top notch, very fresh, tasty and perfectly rolled. My wife got a bento box of chicken and it was OK, the sushi was definitely the star of the meal. The real problem with ichiban is not any fault of their own. The atmosphere is pleasant warm, cozy and inviting... HOWEVER, right next to them is another place, forget the name, but it was absurdly loud, rowdy and obnoxious and totally killed the atmosphere of ichiban. I do hope they find a better location or the other place moves because it is certainly hurting their business. Its so loud that its hard to focus on a conversation at times, and when someone opens the door cover your ears. Maybe it was an event and bad timing on my part but it was very obnoxious (Saturday around noon). The rowdy place bext door looked like it was filled with college students or something. read more
