This is, by far, one of the best Japanese restaurants around! Every time I visit, the welcome is warm and the food is always fresh. read more

Love the food and service. We have eaten here many times. Take out due to Covid is just as good.

Always fresh and quick. Folks are friendly and professional. My wife and I have never had a bad experience.

I work here for extra income once or twice a week, and I eat here REGULARLY on date nights! Regular customers become family, I see how the food is prepared and where it comes from- did I mention it's my date night go to? AWESOME sushi and Amazing prices on hibachi!! From an inside perspective, the food is always fresh!! read more

I'm a huge fan of sushi. Idk what it is, but very few sushi restaurants compare to Ichiban. While they have hibachi style dishes as well, I only go here for their sushi. Prices are hard to beat. Honestly the only thing that could make this place better is if it were a little bigger. Favorite place in Springfield. read more

Best Japanese restaurant I have been too. Great food! Good service! Good prices! The owners of the restaurant are very nice. We have been going there for years now. read more

First off the hostess/cashier got my order wrong & had a bad attitude then she proceeds to open my stapled bag, then my container of food grabs a fork and scoops out onto a plate the portion of food I didn't order then slides my remaining container of food behind the glass to the kitchen staff.... I then asked for the kitchen staff to just remake it and she gets mad and rolls her eyes saying what's the problem I didn't use my hands I used a fork. I was like just cancel the order... so much cross contamination not to mention Covid. Just gross!!! read more

My husband and I are originally from the West Coast and have had amazingly fresh sushi near the beach. After we moved here, we were afraid that we wouldn't find delicious sushi in a small town. After we tried Ichiban, we were pleasantly surprised! It's actually very fresh and the crunch rolls are nice and crispy. We love coming here! read more

Just ate here for the first time and it was great! The sushi and hibachi meals were so good. The prices aren't bad at all either. I can definitely say I prefer this place over any other hibachi place in the hendersonville/Goodlettsville area! read more

Greg's Review for Korean tastes Hibachi dishes : Great... I like that much sweet taste. General taste of hibachi in other japanese restaurant tend to be too sweet but this restaurant is perfect for korean taste. Sushi : good Side dishes : good and fresh There are many tables over 15. Waitress is so kind. read more

Love the food here and the service is always great. I've eaten here on many lunch breaks and have always been able to get back to work on time without even telling them I'm in a hurry. I love the Yum Yum roll and the teriyaki shrimp bento box. Nice quiet atmosphere too, so you can actually hear the conversation you're having :) read more

I have been there a few times and the sushi is always fresh. The dine-in service is friendly and they get the food out quickly (which is a necessity during a lunch break). To-go orders have always been ready when I get there, even if I am early. It is a good value for the money. I am not sure about their regular menu items since I have never ordered them, but they always look and smell delicious too. read more

Good food; great price and great service. Drive quite a ways to come to lunch. Forth the drive. read more

Had lunch special. Reasonable price. Food taste ok and clean. Staffs are nice. It was pretty good experience. Since i live in clarksville and i only ate here onece when i was in springfield to go to court for my speeding ticket idk if i will ever go back but its a good place read more

This is the best place in Springfield hands down. Service, food, drinks. Glad they are around being as there isn't much in town.

I went here Oct 19 2019. We got there and had a short wait. We then got our seat. While sitting there about 20 minutes 3 different servers walked by us and never acknowledged us. Not even to say someone will be with you shortly or take drink order. I am black and my date is white. We then left and will never return. read more

The chef is always coming up with a new roll every week. The hibachi is always excellent food without the "show".

Delicious Japanese cuisine hibachi style food & large sushi menu, vegetarian friendly. The vegetable fried rice, vegetable yaki soba, and vegetable udon are all so good. The sweet potato sushi roll and peanut avocado sushi roll are just a few of the best on the menu. Dinner hours are very busy, hoping they buy the building next door and add on read more

I literally cannot find a sushi place that has better service, tastes better or has better prices!! Ichiban is probably my favorite restaurant in the area! 11/10!!!! My favorite rolls are the Under control roll, pink dragon roll or pink Mandy roll!! But everything I've had is so good honestly! read more

The food is wonderful. We are so glad we found this little gem in Springfield. We came on a Sunday after church and it was packed. It was worth the wait. After that we decided to try it again for dinner and the sushi was fabulous. The Bento box was a total hit. Highly recommend. read more

Give this one a pass. Not so very good. If you want lack-luster, over salted yet under flavored food-- great! You found it! Goodlettsville hibachi is much more flavorful. Although to be fair, I did not try the sushi. I had the steak and scallops. The rice was oily, over salted and bland. The scallops were fresh and properly cooked but covered in the horrible sauce that covered everything, the steak was tough. I got 1/5 of a zucchini, 3 broccoli florets and and a small amount of frozen carrots. The waiter was pretty obtuse. Timing man. Appetizers and soup and salad right on top of each other. The main just moments after. To the diner it feels like the bums rush out the door. Well on the bright side, lots of covers that way. read more

Excellent sushi for the price, the fried rice alone is better than any steakhouse ive been to , really, all their food is better than most places even in Nashville. And there are always cute servers but if any sushi you order...get the butterfly roll. read more

One of our favorite local restaurants! The owners are very friendly and make you feel welcome. The servers are kind, helpful, and speedy. We usually alternate between hibachi and the East meets West roll. Never ordered anything I didn't like! read more

We have had a great experience every visit. The sushi options are a bit limited but what they do offer is amazing and reasonably priced. I wasn't that impressed with the hibachi but that doesn't detour me from going again. Must try their spicy fried rice!! Well worth a visit. read more

The Double Dragon Roll is amazing, as is the East meets West Roll. My fav place to eat!

Wow, always going to rivergate for Japanese and sushi. This takes the cake, good service and very accommodating. The food was perfect, they even make spicy rice, my favorite! Many rolls to choose from and Sashimi (sp?) A dead give away of a clean restaurant, the bathroom was NOT scary! That makes me feel confident my food was prepared in a clean environment and that's extremely important to me! Try it, you'll LOVE it! read more

I've been to this place 3 times in the last 2 months and my husband and I love it!!! First off, service is great! I feel like everyone is welcoming and consistent with checking on guests often, but not too often. The wait for food has never been long, portion sizes are great, and sushi always tastes fresh! I love that I can take my two toddlers here and not wait forever for food! Even better, the setting of the restaurant is sophisticated but not fancy, and family friendly at the same time-- one of the cleanest locally owned restaurants I've been to in awhile! As someone who has lived most of their life in the west coast, I was skeptical of trying Asian cuisine here in Tennessee, but I have yet to be disappointed!! read more

I was blown away completely by this place. Never knew that I had a Japanese steakhouse this good in Springfield. My wife and I went there the other night for the first time she ordered the Filet Mignon and vegetables. The Filet was cooked perfectly. I ordered two sushi rolls, the surf and turf roll and the Ichiban roll. Both of them were very good and I have no complaints about either. I definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone coming into Springfield looking for a good Japanese. We will be going back soon. read more

The worst Japanese steak house I've every been to. Shrimp had a chemical taste, the chicken tasted like it was boiled and then heated up. Rice and soup had no flavor. My waitress told me that she wouldn't even eat here because how they cook food. Talk to the manager and he told me nothing can be done, that they never had a complaint, that it was all me because everyone else ate the food. My dog wouldn't even eat the left overs. And the reason was because they were busy but they had a lot of tables opened. Just beware if you go.. read more

Love this place. The sushi always tastes fresh and of good quality. I love the Ichiban roll, among others. Their tomato avocado salad is also great. I think it is just as good, if not better, than many sushi places in Nashville. Beware if you go at lunch time-it can get very crowded and service can sometimes be slow. Overall, a great place worth trying! read more

Awesome lunch specials. We get the two or three roll special almost every weekend. A nice change to be able to get sushi in Springfield. (not the best sushi I've ever had but pretty darn good for a small southern town) read more

Good food and better than average sushi. Not the best but better than most places. The prices are good and the staff is friendly.

Food is good, but we had the worst service tonight, I asked the waitress what was in 3 to 4 different rolls, she said she didn't know, and she didn't bother asking anyone. We told her we weren't ready yet. So she leaves and comes back later. I asked did you find out what was in the Boston roll, "No mama I didn't," and just stood there, as we all stare at her, she says oh maybe it's on the togo menu. It was but the others were not. Any way the Scottish roll was great. I would go back and recommend. read more

Good food, good service. The fried oreo dessert was really good. Service was good and our waitress was super nice!!

I'm not a sushi expert, but their yum yum roll is the best I've ever had. Their hibachi isn't my favorite, especially compared to the places where they cook it in front of you. Edamame is good, and you can eat pretty cheap here, but (be careful) they also have some pretty expensive rolls that might surprise you. Good place to bring families. Service is hit or miss, but I've had more good experiences than bad. They're always nice to my kids! read more

My extended family met here for Dinner on Christmas Eve 2016 with a party of 19. Our server, Mindy, was perfect. She set up the tables just the way we wanted them, she was well versed on the menu components and made excellent recommendations, she was attentive to scoop up finished plates and refill drinks at just the right time without being one of those annoying, overbearing servers. She was also charming to me and my wife and 8 year old son, and she made our experience wonderful. The quality and portions of the food at this restaurant are outstanding and downright unbelievable for the price. The speed of the preparation was also impressive, remember it was a party of 19. They lined up all our plates along the bar and filled them at the same time. The food was delivered quickly, it was piping hot, and it was delicious! A class act all around. We will definitely return, especially if we have a large party on a special occasion. No horror stories here, folks, you will walk away from here happy if you can walk at all! Thanks again, Mindy, for beating Santa to the punch and delivering our Yummy Christmas! The 3 of us had 3 sushi rolls of 6 pieces each, crab rangoon appetizer, filet mignon + scallops hibachi dinner, chicken + shrimp hibachi dinner, and a child's chicken and fries w/drinks for under $60. read more

the Bento lunch box was delicious and just the right amount. Service was great and Calvin, the manager is always helpful. Good place for lunch or dinner! read more

Eat here OFTEN!! Great value for lunch! hibachi chicken is great. Titan roll is YUM!! Very clean and awesome service! Prepare to leave STUFFED!!! read more

Food is great. If you're really hungry or have someone to share with, get the East Meets West Roll. I haven't found anything to eat bad at Ichiban. The only reason it doesn't get 5 stars is that service can be a little spotty at times. read more

The vegetable medley was well cooked yet the hibachi shrimp and scallops were a bit overdone - a tad rubbery.
