12 piece Sashimi & Rice with an octopus topping
Nancy P.

I love that Japanese restaurants are popping up all over Biddeford and South Portland. Ichiban is a delight. We went for lunch and got the 12 piece sashimi lunch special. It comes with rice & miso soup. I added the salad. It was all fresh & delicious. The only thing I did not like was the octopus on the rice but my date happily gobbled it up. All this for about $20. Great deal! I will be back often.

Edamame - salty and hot!
Bill D.

We had heard good things about Ichiban and decided to give it a try. I'm so glad we did! Michigan took over the old Dizzy Birds location and is a super addition to the expanding food scene in Biddeford. Everything we ordered was perfectly prepared. The fried items were light and didn't taste at all oily. The restaurant was really busy, but didn't sound too noisy. The decor is classic and neat. Our server was attentive and quick to take our orders. The kitchen filled our orders quickly too. We'll be back soon!

Jin Sushi and Ramen - Tekka maki, tombo roll

Jin Sushi and Ramen

I visited Jin Sushi for lunch on a weekday. The restaurant seems to be oriented primarily towards…read moretakeaway. I wanted to dine in, which was fine, though my food was still served in takeout containers. I ordered the "cauliflower pop" appetizer, tekka maki (tuna sushi), and tombo (a sushi roll containing cold albacore tuna, shiso, scallion, and ginger). The cauliflower app was fried and battered and covered in a sweet/spicy sauce very much like a General Tso sauce. Unfortunately I think what should have been a crispy texture was very soft and mushy, probably due to the sauce, and maybe how it was packed in a closed plastic container (despite it being served to a customer only a few feet away in the small dining room). The sushi was much better, both rolls being very tasty. The tombo roll had a particularly interesting and fresh taste to it. Yelp asks that a reviewer cover food, service, and ambiance. There was zero ambiance. Negative ambiance. I don't know what to say about that lol.

Jin Sushi and Ramen is a great spot with an excellent pedigree, growing from roots in Japan and…read morefrom Pai Men Miyaki in Portland. The decor is simple but nice. It's not the fanciest place you'll find, but it d9ssnt affect the food at all. We enjoyed veggie Gyoza and edamame to start, as well as a Beef Bulgogi bowl, veggie Ramen (excellent homemade noodles!), a Veggie Poke bowl, and some spicy tuna rolls. Everything was really tasty! The staff was very helpful and attentive, too. We'll definitely be back!
