    Fantastic every time! We have eaten here many, many times and I've never had a dish I didn't like…read more What a welcome change for Mt. Vernon, Ohio! We recently moved from the area to Columbus and we've found ourselves making the trip back for Ichiban. The manager is a sweetheart! If something makes you unhappy, you tell him, he'll make it better. He's friendly and attentive and we've talked several times about markets in Columbus and authentic places to eat in MY area so I don't have to drive to see him. How sweet is that? He's even treated us to an appetizer or desert now and then and mine always comes with an orchid. LOVE that! The staff are very friendly, attentive and helpful with questions and assistance with food allergies or even their preference. I've heard the manager discretely say something to staff and they are right on it, making sure every customer's needs are met. The sushi is very, very good and we love to sit at the bar, nibble on salad or miso soup and watch Chef practice his art. Meats are held at the perfect temp, each piece is made with love and the plate is beautifully decorated with flowers or painted with a sauce to look like a dragon or heart. Don't miss the Ikura (salmon roe sushi.) Little bursts of salt water with each bite! We have gone with friends who are not sushi eaters and their food was very good. The noodles are great, the chicken and shrimp are always just right. We have never been seated at the hibachi because our tables always want something different. We'll be back many times over.

    Probably one of the worst meals we have had in 6 months dining out. Ichiban Sushi & Hibachi was…read moresimply terrible. From start to finish...the clear soup (served in almost every Habachi Japanese restaurant tasted like "ham"...everyone at our table thought so too), the salad dressing (usually light and "ginger" forward tasted like ranch dressing with rose water...just odd). Then they gave us only one sauce with the entree (supposed to be like yum-yum sauce...weird sweet and not a Japanese flavor at all). Next was our "Habachi chef"...lousy engagement with the table, did nothing to "perform" and entertain the kids (or adults) at our table. We also could barely understand him - not sure if it was a language barrier or him mumbling - he clearly could care less about his job or engaging with the customers. His cooking skills were dismal at best...used little oil, used little butter, added WATER TO EVERYTHING he cooked...and it tasted like it. Shrimp cooked with water is just steamed shrimp that is rubbery. NO FLAVOR and should have saute/soy color on it...no color at all (see pic) - no lemon even on his cart. The fried rice was a joke...white rice (with more water added on the grill) had tiny bit of soy sauce and 2 eggs for 5 orders of fried rice - no lemon...THAT'S IT...NO GREEN ONION, NO MUSHROOM, NO SESAME SEEDS and again no hibachi grill color to it. We could have gotten a better Japanese meal at Wendy's (and should have). We had no soy sauce on the table - had to go and ask at the bar for some. When they cleared our plates (with 1/2 the food on them), I told them that dinner was not good, but even that didn't get any attention...everyone suddenly couldn't communicate. DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME AND MONEY AT Ichiban Sushi & Hibachi in Mt. Vernon. Drive 40 minutes to Columbus to House of Japan or Benihana...where they at least care about the customer experience and know how to make Hibachi food!

    As CLAG Brewing's on site restaurant and bar, we had an amazing experiencing spending an entire…read moreafternoon just enjoying the beer and eating a ton of amazing food. (See separate review for CLAG Brewing.) On arrival, it was mostly empty as it had just opened, but were told it would fill up. That was hard to believe as the place is huge, with multiple bar areas, tables of different sizes, and lots of standing. However, by the time we left it was filled! We sat at the main bar so we could talk to the owner. Our day had started with other breweries, so we were hungry and I'm glad we saved our tummies to dine here. I live in a city with tons of amazing Vietnamese restaurants, but this place blew them all away with maybe the most flavorful pho I've ever had. A huge bowl, not overly salty, with fresh produce and great flavor. Some of their beers are brewed perfectly to go with these zesty citrus flavors, so you really can't go wrong eating and drinking together. As I knew this was my only visit this trip, I also ordered a plate of fried rice which was also fantastic and I loved trying their sauces with it. Prices are so reasonable for the quality here. If you're a fan of Vietnamese food, great beer, and cool vibes, this is a must visit spot!

    Great meal with two picky eaters. Geordan helped with the menu, which was huge! Wings were…read moreamazing. Broken rice was great for the kids 10 and 12. Yellow noodles and pork wonton was bomb! Highly recommend!
