This place is awful. Everything about my experience was terrible. It started with an employee opening the door as I approached and saying "you going to eat here or what?" I mean, it's a restaurant, I guess I'll eat. Like, what else would I do? While the service was weird and awkward, my main complaint is that I ordered the snow crab based on the ingredients listed on the menu. It reads verbatim "shrimp tempura, crab, topped with avocado & real Alaskan snow crab meat." Cool. Perfect. That is exactly what I want. The only problem is that is came covered in some disgusting mayo based sauce. And of course I got it to go and didn't realize it until I got back to my hotel. If it comes with a mayo sauce, just let me know. That way I can say "no mayo." So yeah, I essentially bought a role I couldn't eat. The ambiance is deadly quiet and uncomfortable. I was so happy to get out of there. This was a legitimately terrible experience. I feel like they live in large part to single serving customers from the hotel next door (which I am currently staying at). I will not return and will consider eating broken glass as an alternative to dinning here again. read more

I had an amazing meal here! I enjoyed a beautifully cooked filet mignon steak that was perfectly seasoned and so tender I didn't need a knife to cut it. The lobster and grilled shrimp was a chefs kiss! A lovely meal! My server was nice. She rushed the group a small tad but I think she was really trying to give us great customer service. She even took some time to help me improve my chopstick technique! The place was really nice and deserves to be in a busier plaza. The fish tank was cool to look at and they had a bar inside as well. read more

Dropped in for lunch. Lunch specials were popular at tables. I had sushi, Salmon, Unagi, and Snapper. All were good. Servings had a bit more rice on each than I prefer but were good. They do have Benihana tables where the food can be prepared at the table grill. Was a good place. Large place with lots of seating. read more

I had a great experience here! I ordered the hibachi steak and chicken along with a couple of appetizers--egg rolls and edamame. Everything was delicious and cooked perfectly. The service was excellent and very attentive. We ordered from the lunch special, and I was pleasantly surprised that the portions were still dinner-sized. They don't reduce the amount just because it's a special, which is a great value. Overall, amazing food, great service, and generous portions. I'll definitely be coming back! read more

I came here because it was close to my hotel and I was hungry. I was not expecting much. The spicy yellowtail hand roll may be the best thing I have ever eaten. The mackerel (not pictured, I ate it too fast) may have been the best I've tried outside of my trip to Japan. If I wasn't leaving Houston today I'd have come back for dinner. Great sushi for cheap prices. Eat here. You're welcome read more

I would give Zero stars. Walked in had to wait no problem. 2 females entered behind me and was seated and drink order taken. Brings drinks back and takes order and still no service for myself. Attends other tables. After 10 minutes of no service I walked out. Stay clear of this place read more

Terrible restaurant especially for lunch. Our waitress couldn't understand English nor speak to us. She didn't know what we ordered. Then there was barely anything vegan friendly on the menu so of course I had to order from the appetizers. I got the tofu dish and steamed rice. Both were mediocre and okay at best. The flavor was to be expected. Nothing extravagant. Nothing special. Of course, the steamed rice was solid. They wouldn't even bring out the steamed vegetables. I asked the owner, our waitress (three times), and another waitress - all three didn't bring my order. It took forever for the rest of the table's food to come out. I had to beg for them to bring out the steamed vegetables which I didn't get to eat during my meal. It was until after I got my tab and about headed out the door then I received my steamed vegetables. Oh and the vegetables wasn't worth $4. I'll take a picture of it and have y'all decide. Lackluster crappy food and sad "Japanese" restaurant. Ohh and the decor is so outdated!! There's an odor too. I won't be returning nor recommending! read more

Food was decent but had hibachi chicken that came out overly greasy. Ate here because it was near my hotel but about killed me the next two days. Very clear they are using highly processed ingredients. Eat other places closer to the airport. read more

The food is plentiful, and tasty, and the service is excellent. This has always been one of my favorite places. The atmosphere is nice for a business luncheon or a family outing. There are two sides to choose from when you enter the door. The habitchi grills or table seating where you order from a menu full of options. This restaurant is located in a strip center with a relaxing outside seating area consisting of tables on one side, and a green space with chairs on the other. read more

Order with UberEats because I'd rather be home than in that Houston traffic. I been wanting to try this place but every time I go it was closed. Sesame chicken looks and tastes disappointing! Ended up giving that to my dog. Unagi hand roll was good as always but you can't really mess that up. Spider hand roll was salty af! I had to get some water after that one. The Sake cado hand roll was the best one moist and refreshing. The seaweed is very chewy on these hand rolls I don't know if that's normal. The smoked salmon was ok but I've had better at other places. Sad to say it but the best part of this meal was the ginger. Tomago is not my favorite but I always like to try since it's like a dessert nigiri. Ok so this has to be the best tomago I've had. It was not too sweet! If I come back for anything it will be that sashimi style and to try something else. read more

We came here for dinner one night while in town for business. It's a decent size restaurant with an option to sit where they cook in front of you or sit at a regular table. We got there around 6pm and it was pretty empty so we had no wait. We were sat quickly and brought drinks. Food was decent. The gentleman cooking was nice and fun. It was a big group of 12 and he did a good job. Waiter kept refilling drinks and table clean when ever we finished something. Service was good in my opinion. read more

Best sushi in the area. It's fresh and good quality plus their wasabi is amazing. Every time I eat here it's dead, but that makes for great service and sitting anywhere you want! They have a huge fish tank which I love looking at while I eat and also a side of the restaurant is for hibachi. read more

My boyfriend & I were looking for a good sushi place around us because were tired of having to go towards downtown/ midtown / heights etc to find good sushi / Asian food. I was looking through doordash wanting to order some and came across Ichibon which was only a few minutes away from where we were at so we decided to go before they closed. It is a Monday evening it was about 8:30 we arrived and there was a few people but the environment is super chill and perfect if you aren't wanting to be around a huge crowd. We sat at the bar and I'm happy we did because we met one of the cooks / sushi makers his name was " Nacho" and said he worked mondays & he made our experience great!! The waiter was good also but not as friendly as him and also when we needed little things like plates to put the soy sauce or anything in general he was there to ask which makes the experience great , and I value someone who knows how to give great customer service ! Nacho was amazing , very helpful , friendly and on top of that the sushi was BOMB!! Even though this little spot is in greenspoint I'll def be coming back soon for some sushi and to dine in with a nacho ! Great peaceful environment , amazing service & great food! Also the prices are bomb for being sushi . read more

Placed an order with this restaurant. When the order said it was ready it was not and took them about 45 minutes to complete it while sitting inside. As other people at the bar continued to get food back to back. :) read more

Updated review: Their food is really good compared to others in the same arena (Happy Buddha- HB, Kobe, or Benihana's) and the price is more reasonable. They just remodeled the outside court yard and put better 24hour security. Never felt safer. read more

Leaving them at 5 Stars !!! As on my last visit the place was clean, the service was good, my waitress was nice. The wine was very good. The 88 roll, which was on special, and the jalapeño roll which was tempura, were both delicious. The miso soup was pretty good. I'll be back for sure. read more

This place is amazing. I sometimes dash and get many orders here so I tried it out. Got the lunch time hibachi steak and shrimp with warm drizzled teriyaki sauce and a California sushi roll. Very hot and fresh and delightful staff very friendly. The owner is always working he is a nice person. I have continued to go back as a paying customer. I highly recommend this place. The prices are great and they have a lunch special. read more

I have no problem treating myself and thought I was doing just that tonight with sushi.. 41$ and a 9$ tip. Sorry but my meal is not great.. it's not even tasty.. I asked the Matsumoto a few questions like was this roll cold or was the protein blended or sliced.. his replies were like I offended him and honestly he could use a little training in being a considerate and helpful host.. I hardly ever want to write negative comments and I apologize but honestly Ichibon of greenspoint will not see me again. I'm hopeful my advice can enable future guests tasty meals worth coming back to enjoy a second and third time. read more

It's been a while since I've eaten here. While the food quality was above average. The food portion to price was a little out of line for most sushi restaurants. I ordered Sashimi and it was $15.95 for 5 pieces that ended up being very small I also ordered grilled veggies that took forever to come out. Not impressed by this restaurant any longer. read more

Quick service with great food! Our hibachi chef was very friendly and did a great job.

We have been here many times. Usually not very many people here but the rolls were tasty so I never thought anything about it. Tonight we ordered 5 rolls which came beautifully presented, are about 80% of them and looked over and saw the nastiest bug I've ever seen crawling on the bar and up onto the cooler where the cold food is stored at the area. I was instantly done. I wont be coming back read more

Terrible food. The salad they give you is drenched with dressing. I mean it looked like a soup because my salad had so much dressing on it. Miso soup doesn't have a deep flavor. Their teriyaki chicken, chicken is not properly grilled and the sauce is disgusting. My friend didn't eat her food. I picked on my bento box. I don't understand the good reviews at all. I do not recommend this place. read more

Came in for lunch during the week and had a great habachi experience. We started off with some soft shell crab and shrimp tempura. The soft shell crab was crispy on the outside and moist on the inside. I really liked the fact that there wasn't a heavy batter on the outside of the crab. After the appetizers, we had the filet habachi. The meat was super tender and everything was well seasoned. I washed it all down with an ice cold Sapporo. I would definitely recommend this combo! read more

What an amazing place to come to, a person gets great food and a great show all in one. Our chef was very talented, while he inter acted with all of us while he was cooking 5 different types of foods. We all got our drinks and a nice house salad with a very tasty dressing. After we all ordered, our chef started out by cooking our rice, and that was a show in self. He then he started cooking our vegetables while preforming and then he started on our meats. I had ordered teriyaki chicken and steak, Angie had got steak and lobster while Jason had steak and shrimp, Jaxx had chicken fried rice. Then another steak and scallops for Theresa and one more steak and shrimp for Pat. From start to finish, it was a great experience and a wonderful show. After our chef had finished cooking he stayed to make sure everyone was totally satisfied and then bid farewell until the next time. What a great day to spend out with the family. If you like great Japanese food, with a great Hibachi show you must stop in, you want be disappointed. Thanks Rick A read more

This place is kinda hidden in this shopping plaza so no wonder I was the only person there until right before I left. The decor was nice and it's a little out dated but not bad at all. Japanese style as expected. Service was good. They were nice so I can't complain at all. I had a server and a lady helping me. Here is the problem. First I am a sushi snob so from the beginning it was gonna be tough for them. I also happen to be a very picky salad person as well. The lettuce was fresh so good job there. One cucumber slice and tomato were also fresh. It was the dressing that killed it. Yet I know to always get the dressing on the side I have never (until now) had a problem at an Asian restaurant getting a salad. Oh wait, yes last week I had one that i didn't like the dressing, but nothing like this. The flavor was good it was the bowl still filled not dressing when my salad add done that killed it. Yes i took a pic. Then here we're go, the sushi.... The main reason for going... Mona Lisa roll was good but I could only eat a couple pieces. The 88 Roll was fresh salmon inside with peppered tuna and avocado outside. There was this funny taste on the rice and the fish just didn't seem right. If I get sick I will update this again. I wouldn't return and not just because I rarely visit Houston anymore either. Ok maybe also that read more

I visited here a couple of nights ago for a birthday dinner. I thoroughly enjoyed the experience. I've been to a few places similar to this before including Benihana's. I thought this place was much better. First off the appetizers alone were on point. We tried several things for appetizers. I had the tempura shrimp, dumplings and egg rolls. All were fresh and fantastic. Next up was the Hibachi salad before the meal. The Hibachi salad is crabmeat with greens. Not sure what the dressing was for the salad, but everything came together with so much flavor. There were also some type of won tons in the salad for a little crunch. For the Hibachi I got the steak. The veggies, the fried rice and the steak were all amazing. The service was also impeccable and the chef did his thing on the grill. I highly recommend this place if you enjoy Hibachi. It's not as fancy looking on the inside as some other places, but don't let that fool you. read more

Stopped in for lunch while staying at the Hilton nearby. I had a Bento box with dumplings. It was a lot of food, especially for the price $10. The food was average but considering the price, I couldn't complain. It came with soup and salad. I tried both, I didn't care for the soup and the salad dressing was like water. The bento box came with tempura vegetables, which were really good. The house wine was Cupcake and only $5 a glass. read more
