We recently had dinner at Ichiban and had a fantastic experience! I highly recommend making a reservation in advance, as it makes things much easier for your group. We were celebrating a friend’s birthday and brought along a cake. The staff took care of it upon our arrival and presented it later with an amazing entrance that made the occasion even more special. The hibachi chef was incredibly entertaining, making the experience fun and lively. The food was delicious, and everyone in our group enjoyed their meal. The cost was around $50 per person, and given the overall experience, I’d say it was well worth it. A great spot for special occasions or a fun night out!

This was quite a fun time and the food was cooked delicious style. I had a funky cocktail that was very good and was served one fire. The staff is very friendly and the cooking entertainment is worth every penny.

Very good service, excellent atmosphere and food. The food arrived very promptly and tasted Japanese, though the rice was not quite sticky enough to eat properly with chopsticks. In Japan,a meal like this would have been served using several more small bowls or platters, but this concession to American tastes and efficiency is easily excused. The only reason for lower rating of the service is the long wait for the check. Everything else was prompt.

Great on all fronts! Came back after not having gone for a few years. Food was amazing, they were super helpful and helped me and my husband set up a combination hibachi plate that worked for what we wanted. I wish they had other dessert options, but with how full we were from the amazing food it didn't bother us. Service was amazing, there was a mistake with a drink that was quickly taken care of and ended up being totally worth the wait. Thr atmosphere was great as well, we had a both and it was nice to have the option of hibachi food at a non-hinachi table.
