I've been to so many sushi places in my life and out of all this is the best. I believe that all those people who gave this place a 1-star rating is stupid enough to say that the sushi there is not authentic. Have they ever been to Japan? My mother has gone twice, all she ever ate there was sushi..she says the sushi in Ichiban is the exact same thing. I recommend sitting at the bar and asking for John. He is a great employee and makes great sushi. As for the other food, it is DELICIOUS!! The teriyaki is great. And so is the tempura. And all for dashing prices!!! The atmosphere is just great too! Please visit this place, it is the best! And you will always, no matter what, end up full. =D

Ichiban is one of those Japanese restaurants where you expect to see Mongolian Beef deliveries going out the back door. It's edible, but you can do so much better for the same money. Try Sachi or Matsuri in Pasadena. Too bad there isn't real Japanese food around here....

When this restaurant opened 8 years ago it was good. About 4 years ago, they cut their portion size in half. For example, the tempura used to include 3 shrimp, whereas now it's 1 per entree. All entrees have shrunk. Never order out without checking your order before you leave. They didn't give me a complete order - missing the tempura and a wrong entree. When I returned, the owner told me that she personally checked it and that I was wrong. Instead of graciously correcting the error, she accused me of lying and tried to get me to go outside the restaurant so no one could hear her. She only relented when it seemed like I was going to make a loud scene. I haven't been back since.
