The servers are great,the food tase amazing,and the ambiance is very comforting and a great experience.

I was visiting family here a few weeks ago, so I wanted to go to a place I have visited multiple times: Ichiban. My brother tagged along, and upon arriving, it was not very busy for what was a Tuesday night. Our waitress was kind but rushed us just a little bit. I ordered a Hawaiian roll and vegetable fried rice. The Hawaiian role was great, but I wish the pieces were smaller (and maybe they could provide 12 smaller pieces instead of 10 big ones). It's still my favorite roll on the menu regardless, and I order it basically every time I go. The vegetable fried rice, on the other hand, is the best I've ever had! That's literally no exaggeration. Living in Dallas, the only fried rice that comes close is from Hibiki (which is amazing) and even then their fried rice is not quite as good as Ichiban. Who knew small-town fried rice would be hittin? To end off the meal, we had mochi ice cream (which my brother wanted). Although I don't eat that often, I did enjoy it as an infrequent dessert. To go off topic, the food is actually pretty cheap. If I remember correctly, my fried rice was less than $12 which is amazing because the portion size is a meal and was leftovers for me in my case! Overall, this is a place I will definitely return to when I go back to Louisiana! Ichiban has been a favorite of mine (and my mom's) growing up, and I'm so glad to see that their food still has the same delicious taste from 2010 when I lived there. If you are ever in the area, please check it out! read more

Service was good but the place looked dead and empty. The lighting made the place look nasty. Now dont get me wrong they have some amazing stuff on the menu but the prices are ridiculous I through Osaka was expensive but compared to this it's way to expensive. The rolls were not that big either so we paid for our appetizers and left. read more

Food poisoning from the sushi. Spent half a day writhing in stomach pain. Finally my system flushed out the bad fish. Too bad for this place. The wait staff is great, the building decor is great, and the non-sushi part of the dinner was delicious. Don't order the sushi. read more

food poisoning :( from the steak fried rice. service was okay, and the food tasted good. it doesn't feel too good now though.

We got 5 Togo hibachi dinners $170.00 most of the time our food is delicious but the last 3 times the food has been missing flavor and not tasting good at all read more

Do not recommend, went to eat with my son (he wanted hibachi) I wanted sushi. The lady (owner) was so rude and said y'all must order two meals. I said yeah? So y'all both will be eating. Yes and I want sushi. Well I can't sit y'all on hibachi side. Like excuse me. I was ordering both but just for her assuming and bring money hungry we toook our business else where! read more

It was a pretty busy night! The wait staff was super friendly and very knowledgeable about the food! My friends were doing Keto at the time and every question we had was answered without hesitation! Highly recommend. read more

Ended up here Christmas Eve since not much else was open. We were skeptical at first from some of the previous reviews but ended up loving it! We have been to many hibachi places before. The clear soup here was one of our favorites. It was nice that you get both noodles and fried rice with the hibachi so that you got to try more items. Staff was friendly and the cook was entertaining. Best part of the whole meal is that they serve yum yum sauce! I'm sure we will be back the next time we are in town. read more

Terrible. We ordered steak, shrimp, and lobster and the chef cooked it all with the same sweet sauce. The chef was sloppy and throwing food around everywhere even on my shirt! We ordered wine and they tried convincing us that the bottle they brought was the same as what we ordered just with a different name.. He was disgusting with how he cooked and the food was trash. You're better off eating fast food. Steak quality terrible. The lobster tasted old or it wasn't cooked well. read more

By far the best hibachi experience ever. The service was amazing. The hostess gave use rice because my daughter woke up cranky from her nap, I never seen a hibachi place give SOOO MUCH FOOD! They give noodles & rice with the dinner meals. The way the hibachi was seasoned was better than I've had. read more

Had the hibachi. The chef was very entertaining and interacted very well with e everyone including the baby. The food was a little disappointing. No green onion in the egg fried rice and too little garlic. The most disappointing was they use the same sauce on everything so everything ends up tasting the same. The chicken, steak, shrimp, rice and noodles. All taste the same and no garnish. read more

Absolutely fun, fantastic, filling food. Our chief was funny, friendly, entertaining and energetic. The show he put on was so much fun and interactive. Our food was cooked to perfection and we each had enough for an extra meal with our leftovers. Try this one. You wont regret it. read more

If I could give more stars I would. The place is beautifully decorated, very clean and very organized. Everyone was so kind and welcoming the entire time. The food was incredible. Tabitha gave amazing service, always checking on me even when she was flying past. 15/10 experience, will definitely be coming back when I can. read more

Ridiculously good hibachi. Some of the best I've ever had. Specifically the best fried rice. And good sushi as well.

First I was sat at a table and didn't receive service for 45 minutes. When I approached the manager, she shrugged me off. I then went to the man who sat me and my two friends, he all of a sudden became busy. Thank god a nice woman asked what our problem was. The ambiance of the place is lively if your in the main dining area. If your off the side it gives very... closed off vibe. I seen two groups involving a person of color, including me, have been placed in this small side room away from the main dining area. I do not know of it was how "busy" (keep in mind we called ahead and asked if there was a wait and we're told no) they are or if there really were no places in the main dining area but I digress. Once we received the food, it was not bad. It was well seasoned and cooked almost to perfection, but the experienced was already tarnished. read more

This was a quick lunch trip for my daughters and myself. We did not sit at the hibachi, but the food was GREAT! We ordered off the lunch menu and were pleasantly surprised at how delicious the food was and the amount of food for the price was satisifing as well. My only reason for giving 4 out of 5 stars, is because our server did not speak very well and was difficult to understand!! read more

Most of the Sushi places in Houma are kind of blend in together. This one is no better and is probably worse than the others. Some of my friends love the place, but to me it is the same food at a slightly higher cost and wait. Our party waited over an hour one time, which is long for sushi in Houma. I would have been just as happy going two doors down for the same food and a similar price. But it wasn't bad. We had hibachi until the wee hours of the night. read more

I was very disappointed,, over priced food, mediocre service, and dirty flatware... won't be going back anytime soon

This was my first time dinning here. The service was amazing. We were seated quickly. Our waiter was friendly: asked us if we had questions about the menu, wasn't overbearing at all, had amazing timing in bringing out the salad & soup, then main course and offering drink refills. The food was really good and the presentation was beautiful. The sushi was tasty, as was the ginger dressing on the salad. I have been to three of the sushi places in Houma and this one is by far my new favorite. read more

Ichiban - Sushi Deluxe - Japanese Near Me - Houma, Louisiana

Not bad, not great. Wish I could pick 3.5 stars. Service : 5/5 Very attentive, friendly and genuine. Can tell it's a family run establishment and makes the atmosphere comfortable I didn't finish everything and took the rest to go where the waiter offered to box it up for me. Returned to hotel room and wanted a snack and was impressed by care and presentation here as well (see picture) Decor :Pretty typical per your sushi/hibachi establishment. Nice and clean. Food: 3.5/5 Nothing here will blow your mind. Prices are higher than some but portions completely match the price, very sizeable rolls. Ordered 3 rolls (Sweet Heart, Godzilla, American Dream) Didn't realize I ordered so much fried so not as colorful. Presentation was fine (see picture) , taste wise each was unique, however fish a tad chewy and not as fresh, eel in the one roll was bland. Overall, not bad. While I plan to try the others in the area on my return visit they have set the bar and possible no others may pan out and I will return to Ichiban as my go-to when in town. read more

Do people still use yelp? Only. 3 stars on yelp but great reviews on google and the place was pretty solid.

Ichiban - Poke bowl with my selected options (spring mix, cucumber, edamame, seaweed salad, snow crab,nori, sesame seeds, wontons, jalapeño) - Japanese Near Me - Houma, Louisiana

Just picked up food there and was VERY disappointed in their COVID-19 precautions. There was a group of about 15-20 women ALL without masks standing in the front of the restaurant although the statewide mandate in still in place. There is a sign stating that parties of 6 or more must wait outside but if they're not enforcing that what's the point? I felt extremely uncomfortable and honestly don't know if I'll order from here again until the virus isn't as prevalent. Food is great but if I don't feel safe I won't be ordering read more

Probably one of the better sushi restaurants in Houma in my opinion. Since I frequent this area a few times a year for work, I've tried Samurai Dragon (ok, but I don't like the fact that they put mayonaise on their rolls....), Osaka (ok) and Ichiban (pretty good). We seem to always return to eat at Ichiban every single time we come back to this area. I haven't tried the Hibachi grill, just sushi each time. Tried a lot of different rolls including the lobster one (they serve it in a martini glass -- pretty expensive but pretty good), and the typical rolls. My co workers have tried the sashimi platter...that is pretty expensive but they've all said that it's pretty fresh and yummy. This last time I tried the Nebayaki (sp?) Udon Noodles -- I did not enjoy it at all. It;s probably not Ichiban, it's prob just the taste of the broth in general that I did not like. Service has been generally good each time I've been here. When they first opened I did have bad service (they completely forgot the roll I ordered even though I kept asking about it about 3 times so I was the only one that didn't get my meal!) -- but since I've been back, I've never had another issue like that. Tempura Ice cream is pretty good as well! Overall, this is a good sushi restaurant to go to in this area of Louisiana. Will surely be back the next time I head over to this area again! read more

This restaurant picked the right name! They really are 一番 in this area. I'd like to put this right up top in this rewiew....if you're visiting the area and need to find a sushi restaurant....please stop looking and go here...and that's an order! You won't be disappointed, and believe me.... dissapointment is awaiting you at other places. I found out the hard way. The service here was great, and the staff was upbeat and entertaining (habachi chef ). The food was not old tasting and perhaps of the fresher variety. I can't exactly say it was fresh because all the food in houma has a odd tinted taste to it (could be the water?). read more

Best hibachi you'll ever eat ask for Ricky Bobby you'll never be disappointed !!!! Best sushi around!!!

Have visited for several years (this is from 2014 review) Very decent food and consistent quality. My favorite is all the rolls with fresh snow crab... this crab is to die for. I usually have a snow crab salad every time I go in or order take out. read more

A roach in the soup. An actual little roach. I've never been more disgusted at a restaurant in my life. Someone else found a roach in their ice tea. I have no idea how this place stays open. There are two restaurants within a mile that have sushi and hibachi. I strongly recommend one of those. read more

If you are Vegan or even vegetarian you will not find any options here. Even their vegetables with fried tofu is cooked with chicken broth. They told me they can cook me some veggies in water and salt and pepper! What?? You have a FULL chef's kitchen in a restaurant and that's the best you can do? So, I decided to just get an order veggie rolls and all that was in it was lettuce and avocado!! Seriously? Where's the carrots, cucumbers, green onions? This place is unbelievably NON Vegan friendly. Most restaurants will accommodate, but not this one. read more

The hostess is really rude and condescending, I am here for business and I wanted to have some dinner with my co-workers and the lady was so rude. I will not even give them 1 star, if you are hungry go somewhere else. I typically let things slide, but this lady being so rude as if she was letting me eat there as a favor, upset me and my co-workers. Coming from California and having expierenced some rude hosts and waitresses, she top them all. DO NOT EAT AT THIS PLACE, RUDE SERVICE..... read more

The service was great she was very nice on top of her job food was awesome and the price was reasonable will be back soon the crab salad wasn't for me but I eat more than my husband he really liked his lobster over all everything was good! read more

I have to so say I've been here multiple times and it is usually a decent dining experience. Tonight, I can not say that. My wife and I dined at their hibachi table and all was good until the chef came out. He was pouring sauces out to everyone and asked if anyone liked ginger, I said I did, he started shaking it, and I mean shaking it like a can of paint! Top comes off, contents of the ENTIRE 32 oz. Drip cup went all over the table, grill, plates, drinks , and clothes. The smoke and smell from the burnt ginger caking on the grill was filling the hibachi area because the hood vent over top of the grill was not on. They got us fresh drinks, changed out the plates and asked us if we had any on us. When we said we did they just apologized more. I asked for a drink menu so I could get a drink from the bar. It took her 15 minutes plus me having to remind the waitress 3 times for her to bring one to the table. Our appetizer came out at the beginning of round 2 of our table service. We finished it and the plate sat, empty, in front of my wife for a WHILE. The server even acknowledged the empty plate and continued to pick up other dirty plates for multiple trips to the table. I asked for chop sticks. She brought them 10 minutes later saying she forgot I asked for them. As if this wasn't enough, the waitress was taking the sushi plate away from the woman sitting next to me, turned around and dropped used utensils, napkins, and lemon peels on to my head, on my plate, and in my lap. I had expressed to the waitress that I wasn't sure what else could go wrong, she said she felt terrible and left. She came back and said she would discount the ticket. When the bill came she told me that she didnt have the authority to do anything but her manager was "LIKE SUUUPER BUSY" and just told her to take my $6 cocktail off the bill. I was not and am not expressing my concern to get compensation, but I feel like if you go to ANY dining establishment, and get covered in food and utensils that have been INSIDE STRANGERS MOUTHS, you should at least hear what the manager has to say! The manager couldn't even show face to a table of 8 people who were covered in ginger sauce??? I was amazed by the lack of concern to the patrons of their restaurant. Service aside, food was sub par....you could tell the hibachi chef was either new, nervous, or embarrassed. He burt A LOT of the food, he had raw chicken touching raw steak many times while cooking it, and the noodles were peppered with burnt chunks from the grill leaving them inedible.(and that was according to the whole table) I will say my scallops were pretty good....but I don't think good enough to make up for the evening... read more

poor customer service!!!! we reserved for a party of 10. this was for a suprise birthday dinner by the way. the entire group was present with the exception of myself and the guest of honor. once we arrived, no one came to check on us and when the young lady did come to take our drink order, she had a majoir attitude, smacking her lips and being very disrespectful. after giving the drink order, still no one and no drinks. no customer service at all! so we decided to leave. as we prepared to leave, i asked to speak with the manager/owner, she immediately told us we can go because we were'nt going to curse her employees(we are still waiting to find our who they said did it) the young lady said she never said anything about anyone cursing, but that was what we were told. on top of that as i tried to explain and keep things ammicable, i was told we could leave and they didn't need our money... wow!!!!! never again!!!!!!! read more

This was the first time eating here. I ordered the Houma roll and crunchy roll. I wasn't able to order hibachi entrees since we didnt sit at the hibachi show tables. My Houma roll had a terrible aftertaste. The rest of the meal was pleasant but not my favorite place to eat sushi. read more

Called at 2pm on a Saturday to see if the lunch special was still going on till 245pm! Arrived at 2:15pm only to be told it's over, the fact that I called and was told it was still available and then told that it was now dinner 30 mins early cause they don't want to sit us at a new table. Horrible customer service!! Osaka is much better anyway! read more

Terrible. Had to wait 20 minutes to get a table because I came in by myself. Ok. No problem, I waited for more people show up. When they arrived waited about 5 minutes for the waitress to take our drink orders. Got drinks and ordered food, good, I thought. Well an hour later, no exaggeration, when I left there was still no chef cooking our food. A total waste of my time and evening. read more

Excellent food Kids and I enjoy the hibachi bar. No reservations. But u can call 30 min ahead to get your name on the waiting list.
