What sets Ichiban distinctively apart from other sushi restaurants is flavor. You can actually taste specific individual ingredients in each roll. The flavors combine and complement each other…they create a sensation like few other sushi restaurants have accomplished. It’s more interesting to eat something with distinctive textures and personality than those with limited flavor denotations…relying on heavy sweet sauces.Ichiban means ‘number 1’ in Japanese. Mixing traditional with blazingly contemporary, the food, beverage and dining experience of Ichiban is carefully designed to elevate any lunch or dinner. Serving only the freshest Sashimi, meticulously handcrafted sushi and world class Hibachi. Ichiban defines the ultimate Japanese dining experience.
