The new look is impressive and cool. Unfortunately, not enough attention is paid to the food. The menu is the same, which is fine. The problem isn't inadequate choice. It that the choices just don't seem to be executed very well. We have tried the restaurant half a dozen times over the past few years, hoping to find something great.... More

My husband loved the food here, but he likes buffets. They have a huge assortment of sushi and seafood. I am not big on seafood, so for me it was a little disappointing. I really didn't like the food, but the service was good. So this is a mixed review...a thumbs up from my hubby and a thumbs down from... More

We visited Orlando for NYE, and a couple of our friends took us to this sushi place, we were very skeptical because we both weren't fans of sushi, boy were we wrong, the sushi was TO DIE FOR. We were munching down sushi like crazy people who did not eat for days, it was delicious, and we went back the... More

My family has been to Ichiban Japanese Restaurant, Orlando, numerous times over the years and have been very happy with the quality of food & service until the new owners took over. The new owners keep cutting back and cutting back until now they serve a very small portion of steak, chicken or shrimp with a small dollop of rice... More

I have been to Ichiban a couple times and I've never had bad service or terrible food. The location is awesome if you want to grab dinner before going out. Also, the happy hour is great! I was here with a group of about 12 people and the service was excellent...maybe a little slow but nothing extreme. I had the... More

Have been here a couple times and will never go back after my last trip. No one was at the entrance when we arrived. We had to wait 5 minutes for someone to come and acknowledge us. Waiter took the order and did not show up again until food was there. When I checked my debit card account a couple... More

Ichiban has been in Orlando for 25 years and they are great. Sushi is always fresh and service is great. They are located in the heart of Downtown Orlando, so the perfect place to eat then go out. More

A friend and I recently went to Ichiban for lunch. I must say, since the restaurant has changed owners, the service and quality of food has declined! The restaurant staff has terrible customer service and they don't appear to want to be there. Seafood is not fresh and sushi portions are small. Would NOT recommend this place ever! More

I recently went to Ichiban, with a friend, for lunch. The restaurant was her suggestion. I have dined at Ichiban in the past and I was not impressed. Well, my most recent visit solidifies my previous impression of the restaurant. Ichiban lacks in so many ways. I would like to start with service. The wait staff lacks customer service skills....
