Chef Ichiban was absolutely incredible! Have been here many times and this by far was the best food, show, etc. Can’t thank him enough! Love their fried rice and ribeye! Only issue I had was that sitting at a corner is NOT enough room for two people. This needs to be considered if both corners are full.
