“ A friend recommended this place to me & I was very impressed with the food. Our server was Coryne and she was phenomenal! She made the experience and we will be back to see her. ”
“ We were there last minute on New Year's Eve and the place did not disappoint! The food was excellent and the service was great. There was a short wait because it was packed due to the holiday, but we were seated quickly all things considered. The chef put on a great show for us. It was a great party atmosphere for sure. We are looking forward to going back again soon. The price was very reasonable, cheaper and in my opinion better than Beni Hana. ”
“ We ate here for Christmas eve. My daugther tried to bring in a bottle of water, because she is allergic to most types of water. The manager said that he was not allowed to let her bring water in. She explained the allergy, but he said that he wasn't allowed. After drinking 1/3 of a glass of pink lemonade, my daughter went to the bathroom and was sick for half an hour. I spoke to the manager and suggested that he find a word around of some kind. It wasn't fair that my daughter's Christmas Eve was damped by this experioence. Not only did the manager give me an agency to contact (He does not make the rule, but answers to a higher power), he also gave us a $25 gift card for a future trip! Things do not always go well, but this manager knows how to treat a customer! ”
“ Went here for our company Christmas lunch. Really enjoyed myself. The food was good and the teppanyaki chef was very entertaining. I started with the edamame, very fresh. I had a house salad very good lettuce was crisp and dressing was good. My course was shrimp and steak. Both prepared properly. The rice was good. The vegetables were very fresh. I really liked the ginger sauce. The chef was flipping food for me to catch it was fun. All in all a very good time. ”
“ We have had some excellent meals here, both at the hibachi tables and in the full service restaurant side. Service has been excellent, attentive and friendly. It does get very busy with large groups sometimes, but they look after everyone. Sometimes people have to be patient, we have never had an issue. Keep up the great work. ”
“ Went here for a birthday celebration on a weekend during lunch. First time here and I will say it was pretty dark inside. Not sure if that's the atmosphere but I think most hibachi places are like that. Got hibachi and it was reasonably priced, lunch is cheaper than dinner but portions are smaller. It was still enough for me to have leftovers to take home. ”
“ I am a sushi lover and this place most definitely delivered! Their sushi is beyond fresh and presented well. This is the best sushi in the Macomb area; there are times I want to order carry-out because I crave it. My friend and I ordered a side of fried rice with a side of YUM YUM sauce; it was amazing! The place is very well-decorated, and I really enjoyed the atmosphere. Our server was beyond nice and helpful with any questions we had. She even engaged in a good conversation with us. That showed she cared and wanted to ensure our experience was amazing. Overall, I would recommend this restaurant to individuals. Next time, I would like to try the hibachi. ”
“ The sushi rolls have me by the NECK! I loooove love love the sushi rolls. Especially the specialty rolls! I have never sat inside this restaurant before but I always ordered in door dash and my orders are always hot and pretty and tasty! The food presentation is on point! Treat your tastebuds! I forgot to take pro tires of my other roll because it looked so good I just tore it up lol ”
“ We came to Ichiban as a party of 13 for my sister's high school graduation. There was 2 grills so some family that was allergic to shellfish sat on the other side. They were very accommodating. They were going to seat 4 people at the table that can't have shellfish but we explained that nothing could be cooked on the grill in front of him. They said that was fine and did not add anyone to the table. The chef was super fun. He made a lot of funny jokes and used funny items while cooking. For example he used a little chicken attachment to break the egg. He had amazing customer service skills. All of the food was cooked perfectly. He even gave us the extra sauce wr had requested. Everyone had such a great time together. The servers did come check on us to refill drinks as well. Overall, this place is a great experience to come out with your family or friends. It is definitely worth a try. ”
