Driving South on the Maine Turnpike on a beautiful Saturday when I came up with the great idea of…read moreturning off in Biddeford for a trip to Peng's Pizza! Boy, what a great idea that was! We were able to park right out front of the store front. Before we got off of the Pike, we ordered 2 pizzas.....one cheese and one veggie. When my wife was finished ordering and before she was told how long it would be before pick-up, the clerk told her the total price ($53.22). When I heard the price, I almost went off the road but I would find out later that it was well worth every cent! I went in to watch the process, which I love to do. It was a pretty busy Sat evening, for sure. Only one size of pizza....all large. Pizza orders of 8, 4 and 5 were pumping out the kitchen! Three workers and one register clerk made up the staff. There are 4 small tables and chairs if you want to eat-in, as well. When our order finally came out, I was a bit hesitant. I am a fan of lightly cooked and no bubbles. The pizza, when it was being cut, looked charred up a bit and had a bubble or two. As I walked to the car, I was not very confident that things would turn out the way they did. When we each started to eat the pizza, we were both thrilled with everything.....crust, cheese, overall taste and cook-style! The veggie was "delicious" and the cheese pizza was in the Louie's class (Woburn, MA). Boy, were we happy! The price was a little high but very well worth it. You get what you pay for! Soda: no Pepsi/no Coke (see pic) Parking: on Main Street...seemed easy Price: a little high...but worth it Ambience: nice little spot Will I be back?: When in Biddeford....sure Stars: 5 (I took a bunch of pictures...but it is a long story)

I'm not coming back…read more The place was dirty The first table our hostess tried to seat us was too dirty, so she had to choose another. Apparently that didn't inspire anyone to wipe the others down. I saw four dirty ones from our table. Then, two groups were seated at these tables that needed to be wiped and swept underneath. The whole floor needed swept and it looked like it hadn't been mopped the night before. I doubt the place was dirty because they were too busy. When we got there it was 6 customers compared to 5 staff. I suspect they either didn't care or were never trained on how to keep a tidy restaurant. None of this helped to spark our appetites The service was good at first, We got our beers fast, and then I told our server we were going to just drink beer and maybe we'd order food later. Again, you'd think that would inspire him to check on our drinks but I finished my beer and waited ten minutes or more without seeing our server. When we did see him, he took the order of the table directly next to us, and left. After that I'd had enough. I went to the bar, told the nice lady we hadn't seen our server in at least 15 minutes and that I wanted to pay our tab. Don't go to this place. The bad service and state of the restaurant is probably due to bad management.

For a town like Kennebunkport you'd think there'd be more than one bathroom area in the town. They also obviously don't think of special needs because my son is terrified of the hand blowers, so loud, refused to go into the tiny 3 stall loud bathroom. He desperately had to go pee and every place over there is like old with no bathrooms lol. Just as I was about to like pull him I dunno to a dumpster or something my mom spotted in the distance this place sort of on the hill. We ran in explaining and they were like omg yes yes go right ahead. Insisted we didn't have to buy anything to use the bathroom. My mom still wanted to anyway because they were so nice and understanding. She got a few slices to go. I'll forever remember this place saved the day lol. Kennebunkport get porta pottys or something! I can only imagine in the summer it's probably insane. It was a youngish girl who was there when we went. Just so nice. If ever back in the area I would make this place a must stop.

Their miso soup has become a regular part of my weekly routine (and by weekly, I mean multiple times a week).

Every hot dish we've ordered has been packed with flavor and arrives absolutely piping hot. The bento boxes, ginger steak bowl, and lo mein have all been consistently delicious. And the sushi? Fresh, generous, and stuffed to the brim. Honestly, the hardest part about Ichiban is convincing myself not to eat there several times a week. Save yourself the suspense--just go.

Service is fast and very helpful and accommodating with any questions you have. I ordered the Jalapeño margarita and it was delicious!

I also opted for the guacamole which is extremely fresh and absolutely worth the added cost. I also opted for the ranchero chicken wings for a small plate and i love the quality of the chicken, even though it's not an authentic mexican dish they still make it shine with the freshest ingredients and cooking them perfectly! The sauce was quite tasty and a mix of spicy and sweet so it was interesting. Such a great afternoon treat for a warm summer day and is a must go in biddeford!

I love that the menu keeps things simple but still rotates in new specials, so there's always something fresh to try. The fish sandwich is the move if you want a classic: massive portion, packed with flavor, total bang for your buck. The squid marinara is my other go-to, lighter than the sandwich but just as satisfying every time. Even the fish and chips, which my friends usually order, come out in portions that feel almost too generous. It's got a laid-back, no-frills energy that fits the food perfectly. You order up at the counter, but they'll still bring everything to your table, and the staff keep checking back in without being asked. The bar area has its own charm, and once summer hits the outdoor tables turn into the best seat in the house on a sunny afternoon. Fair warning: the space is small, so weekend crowds can get tight, but it's worth the wait.
