Late Nite Sushi, 10/22/2009
Reviewer: Lisa
from Vista, CA
Strolling in at 9:30pm from San Diego on a Friday evening...we were so surprised that this place was not only open..but was packed! GREAT alternative to State St chaos. Try the spicy edamame. Our son's coach at SBCC recommended this restaurant as a local favorite for sushi...so there you have it! Lisa

melt in your mouth , 9/8/2009
Reviewer: tml
from seattle, wa
sushi was fresh, best I have had in a while (from Seattle). Chef suggested albacore, then in addition to 2 pieces of sushi placed a pile of albacore sushi as a freebee. I was in sushi heaven, melted in my mouth. I wanted to jump over the counter and give him a hug.

Usual customers treated like garbage!!!, 4/19/2009
Reviewer: Erik Walden

My roommate and I ordered or ate in here two to three times a week. We have always complained about the service but the food was always pretty good. One time ordered to go the food was horrible, tasted like it was old. I went back and the owner threw my food away in anger right in front of me, rudest I have ever encountered from a restaurant owner. GO TO GO GO SUSHI IN THE HARBOR THEY HAVE THE BEST ROLLS BY FAR!!!

Best sushi hands down, 4/16/2009
Reviewer: Susan
from Santa Barbara, CA
We went here the other night and it was AMAZING!! We had the sashimi platter and it was so fresh the fish just about melted in your mouth!!! We had several rolls and we all agreed the 007 roll was our favorite...but the others were excellent as well.
The only down fall I could see was the restaurant was small. But luckily we were seated fairly fast.

Reviewer: Cathy
from Santa Barbara, CA
I went here for the first time and we waited around a bit because the place was packed but when we sat down and got to order and then EAT. OMG, is all I have to say! I've been to most sushi places in town and this is by FAR the BEST kept secret place and reasonably priced. This is my new sushi place for sure! Please don't change a thing. I'm going to have my birthday dinner here with a bunch of my friends so be prepare to bring it!

Super Fresh
Reviewer: Cynthia
from Santa Barbara, CA
There are a couple of well known sushi restaurants in town but Ichiban is the secret local spot. I have dined there several times and never been disappointed. The sushi is super fresh and the atmosphere is relaxed, service is great. Try the spicy tuna roll. It’s cheap and delicious.

I am only writing this review so that the ownership understands how wonderful this restaurant is. Please don't ever change a thing. Seriously. Buck, Shigei, and John are by far the best team in town. They care so much about every person that comes through the door...

Good sushi but disappointing donburi
Reviewer: David
from Chicago
We ordered out sushi and two orders of donburi. The sushi was good. The donburi was disappointing. We only ate one of the portions and discarded the second bowl. We'll return for the sushi though.

Great First Time Experience
Reviewer: Phil
from Santa Barbara
Unagi Donburi on the regular menu and Monkfish Liver on the whiteboard specials were very fresh and well presented.
Both were surprisingly good and I will be back to try more standards and delicacies.
