THE OMAKASE EXPERIENCE…read more Once a month, Ichiban offers an Omakase experience for $100 per person. To make reservations they require $40 down payment then $60 at the event. This is limited to 6 people per event. So book well in advance. This sells out quick. This experience we had 12 courses total. $100 + $20 for tip, that is about $10 per course. You will get your money's worth. It is not recommended for picky people or people who always have special request. The chef will serve you whatever he decides serve. Each OMAKASE experience is never the same; therefore, your experience is special each time. Most of the items served are not available on their regular menu. But let me tell, everything was delicious. The fried salt and pepper flounder does require some careful attention because there were fishbones, but that was part of the experience. It was designed to slow you down, while he prepares the next course. The battered fried rice cake top with assortment of fresh fish, spicy mayo and eel sauce top with sprouts and bonito flakes was delicious! I advised the chef that they should add that to the menu. Chef Lin, also served BBQ short ribs which was his grandmother's recipe was melt in your mouth divine. The Toro nigiri brush with his special soy sauce melted in my mouth. There was no need to add soy sauce or wasabi and you shouldn't. It was delicious. Same applied to the snapper nigiri. The seafood soup with miso was a definition of umami flavor. It had shrimp, lobster, some other seafood, and the broth was flavorful. The shrimp with spicy mayo sauce was savory and creamy. Today was June 15, 2026 and their next seating is next month which is already sold out. I booked this experience in the beginning of May. I would suggest to go ahead and call Jonathan and reserve your seat in August. However, here is a secret, they may make an exception and you can reserve this experience depends on Chef Lin's availability. But for those special reservations, I was told it will cost $150 per person. Still, it is only limited to 6 people (no less no more) per special reservations. I rarely give 5 stars, and this experience deserves it. I predict, by word of mouth, this will be hardest reservations to get in Pensacola since it is limited.

Staff was attentive, even while training another. Can't say enough about the sashimi, the yellowtail is by far the best I've had in 17 years, lived all over and outside the country. Drink selection is infamous, recommend the Aladdin, hold onto your seat. Overall 10/10. Can't see a single area that needs improvement based on a first time visit. Shocked that this place has a 3.9 on Yelp. If 3.9 turns away others then so be it, more food and availability for a return visit. Job well done Ichiban team.

Some of us did the $30 all you can eat and honestly when sushi places offer that I take advantage of it. Overall it's a good deal but the sashimi cuts are so small! Like 5 pieces would be an equivalent of two full size ones. The fried rice was hard and lacked flavor. The sushi wasn't bad either. Nothing really stood out but would probably go back

Our daughter wanted to visit Sushi Masa to celebrate her birthday this year. Okay, no problem,…read morewe'll go for lunch with a group of six (one of which is a kid). Let's start with the food... the AYCE sushi option includes several items other than sushi. Things like gyoza, fried rice, teriyaki chicken, fish, or vegetables, tempura, miso soup, etc. The big bonus is that the meal also includes a soft drink and ice cream for dessert. At $20.95 this seems like a great deal. There certainly aren't endless options to the sushi, no spider roll or cowboy roll at lunch time. Also, no beef teriyaki or tonkatsu. But I don't think complaining is valid based on the price. The place is decorated with Japanese style artwork on the walls. It's pretty clean for as busy as it is. And the hosts are good about greeting patrons upon entry. The server was okay. Drinks went dry a few times and ordering additional food was delayed here and there, but they were pleasant and when present they got the job done. My only comment about questionable process is this... like many other establishments, parties of six or more are charged an automatic 18% gratuity. This isn't the issue, the tip was on the bill, the server didn't mention anything. Ok fine, the notice is on the menu. Bet when the credit card slip came for signature, a tip was requested on the slip, with recommended amounts provided. No mention was made that the tip was included on the bill. A lot of folks might unknowingly "DOUBLE TIP." I think it's good practice to mention that patrons can augment the tip if they wish, but remind them that the tip was included. Overall, the experience was pretty good. I imagine we'll be back at some point.

The chicken was tender, and everything came together into one of those bowls that's just comforting from the first bite to the last.

Food came out hot and fresh, and service was smooth the whole time. Definitely a spot I'd come back to when I'm craving a warm bowl of ramen.

I had seen this place from my hotel and on my day off I decided to try it out... so glad I did…read more I got there at opening, so I had a choice of seats. By the time I left, the place was packed with people waiting outside to get in. And this was mid-week! I started of with miso soup, which was miso soup. I ordered the tempura plate which came with two fried shrimps and well-sized vegetables. The tempura sauce was sweeter than most I've had, but it was all good. Based on the waitress's recommendation, I had the Fall in the Love and Hawaii rolls. They were very good. Both came on a boat, very nicely presented with an orchid, as did all the dishes. Finally, I tried their dessert because I had been eyeing it from the beginning... I don't remember the name, but it was ice cream covered with a white chocolate shell and drizzled in chocolate and whipped cream. There's enough there for 2 people to share. I hope I get to travel back to this area as I would definitely like to try some of the other rolls and dishes I saw. Plus, the plum wine was very good. I took a point off because of a fishy taste with the rolls, but otherwise, everything was very good.
