I placed the order on your website yesterday for a meal and when we went to go pick it up, you guys were closed. I have been trying to call the number that’s online it does not work. I need my money back.

First impressions say a lot. We walked through the front door and our shoes were sticking to the floor. The floor had dirt built up from probably a year of dirty mopping. We should have left at that point, but we didn’t. Ordered all you can eat sushi. According to the menu, you can order 2 rolls and 2 slices of sashimi at a time. So get this, the server cannot reorder 2 more pieces of sashimi until you have eaten the two that are on your plate. When you order 2 more pieces of sashimi, they take their sweet time. The restaurant wasn’t busy. Honestly, it wasn’t that good. I went to the restroom, and my feet stuck to the floor the entire way. Some of the grout on the bathroom floor was light tan in color, the rest was filthy black. Matched the grime stuck to the tile. If the floors and restrooms are that nasty, couldn’t imagine the kitchen. I will never return.Btw, our server Ashlyn was outstanding.

I booked a hibachi table for 14 at 7pm on a Saturday for my birthday. They have something there for everyone, even for the picky eaters. The food and hibachi entertainment were excellent and they even brought a complimentary ice cream as a birthday gift. I ordered sushi for myself and everything tasted amazing. I'll definitely be back!

Why bother with expensive fast food when you can have your food on a porcelain plate and eat with real forks for about the same.......Chicken katsu is basically a fried chicken breasts.....with sauce...plus fried rice and a salad or soup.Check out their lunch specials and eat with a metal fork instead of a paper wrapper.Parking: Remember entrance is one way.Wheelchair accessibility: Please have a heart to those disabled.....if you can walk, dont park in a handicap spot.

Out of all the restaurants I've been too, this one is by far the best experience. Amazing, welcoming staff, not to mention the amazing food. They really value their customers. Would 100% recommend to friends/family. Definitely will be coming back.

I absolutely love this place! I’ve been to a lot of hibachi places and this by far has the best sushi and hibachi. My steak and scallops were amazing and cooked perfectly on the grill I definitely recommend this place. Changes have been made and the atmosphere was very welcoming!! I wish I could give it 10 stars!Kid-friendliness: Kids eat free on Wednesday which is amazing as well they get a ton of food for a kid!

Let me begin by saying we went on homecoming night and expected the restaurant to be busy… We called ahead just to see what the wait would be because we had 4 children all under the age of 4. They told us absolutely no wait… which was weird because it was homecoming but what do I know? I don’t work there lol so we took their word for it… we sat at hibachi at 7:30 and wasn’t informed until 8 that there was no available cook for us until 8:45. The server then proceeds to tell us she hated her job and walked away… the manager said this was NORMAL for hibachi! No mam! 30 to 45 minute wait maybe… but not a hour and fifteen minutes. All the babies were screaming crying by the time we left and only 2 people at our table got what we ordered. NEVER AGAIN WILL I WALK INTO THIS HELL OF A RESTAURANT.

Food is okay and our waiter was accommodating. This restaurant is a lot MORE expensive than other competitors. The food takes FOREVER to come. Their all you can eat sushi has a limit when ordering. It takes time to receive them so you’ll get bored, hungry and annoyed from waiting. Their bathroom door looks like a kitchen door. Women’s bathroom did not have soap and the sink was clogged. Disappointed.

Sign Says Ichiban (Gonzales). Been here countless times. Always fast and exactly what I ordered. Friendly, thorough staff. Comfortable indoor seating. Stocked bar. Lots of wine options. I highly recommend the Rock and Roll sushi rolls, steak hibachi, and shrimp tempura.
TL;DR: Go to Oki Japan or Sushi Masa instead.THE GOOD:Not gonna lie. They have the best sushi selection of any all you can eat sushi place I’ve ever been to. I was excited. Our waitress was amazing.THE BAD:Hard to explain but all the sushi tasted stale even though it was made fresh. The crab, the rice, the crunchy tempura, and even the fish (?) all tasted stale or like they hadn’t been stored properly. The worst part of my meal was the smoked salmon sashimi. It was so oily and slimy that it tasted like it came from a can. We had lunch 10 hours ago and I’m already feeling sick.Another note: at the bottom of the ordering menu for the all you can eat, there is a note that says “if the server fails to properly explain the rules of all you can eat, the server is responsible for the cost of the leftover food and it will be deducted from their salary.”This is disgusting behavior & reflective of terrible management. This practice is illegal in the state of Louisiana, and frankly any business that would even consider doing this to their employees should be shunned by the community.This place seriously has the potential to be the best all you can eat sushi restaurant in the whole greater Baton Rouge area. But an all you can eat sushi restaurant’s potential is worth its weight in stale crunchy tempura.If you’re looking for a consistently good all you can eat sushi restaurant, just go to Oki Japan across the road. Less than a 5 minute drive.

Toxic manager will force this location to close. After waiting 45 minutes for half of our order after the first half was set on the table, the manager was unwilling to negotiate to a fair discount on the ticket. Despite it not being about the money, her customer service skills were the poorest I’ve seen in any establishment. I was polite and calm, so it was not personal. Her name is Ms. Edwards for any reference, and surprisingly she stated that they cannot please every customer. The staff appeared to be lacking, but having the hostesses quarrel upon entering, then have a young man take our order only for the real waitress to pick the table up, and the disorganized food prep was part of the managerial issues. The food was average, definitely not Ichiban quality. This is not a customer service atmosphere that our family will ever provide economic support to again. And we tipped as though it was good service, 20%, since the staff should not suffer from its leadership. Ms. Edwards grudgingly gave us 15% off the ticket, even with my voicing that was not an acceptable consideration. It may be lack of foresight on Ichiban’s leadership not to give management the authority to do the right thing.

Absolutely NOT a 4.1 restaurant! One of the poorest all round restaurant experiences I have had in the 16 years I have lived in Baton Rouge. There where four people in the restaurant when we got there at 6:15 on Sunday night. We didn’t get our food until 7.30. Fried rice and four sushi rolls!! Our server spent most of her time hanging out in the parking lot instead of keeping us updated on our order. Terrible service, our fried rice was delivered at best room temp, close to cold. How do you screw up fried rice!! When the sushi was finally delivered they were rolled so loosely they fell apart picking them up. Unbelievable! How do you call yourself a sushi restaurant when you can’t even make a decent Philadelphia Roll. Saw the review calling this place a cut above average dining, the owner must have wrote the review. Don’t waste your time or money on this place.

We went to celebrate a birthday it was a good atmosphere. Service was good the sashimi platter was good. The Hibachi took a while since they were training a new person but he was friendly. I will recommend this place
