When I walked into this fine-dining establishment, I was immidiately met with the aroma of cream cheese rangoons frying. The chef went out to meet me personally and thanked me for coming. When I was seated by a hot waiter, she gave me complimentary fountain drinks even though I did not know who she was! The food was quick to arrive and put on dishes from China that looked spectacular. When I dug into the cream cheese rangoons, my friend would not stop begging for them and was chasing me around this fine establishment to grab them. The orange chicken is not for the light-hearted - but it is for the light-bodied. The scallops were cooked well enough but could have been seared a bit more. The filet mignon was cut up - still good but it was a travesty of a supposeedly expensive steak. The chicken was chicken. Better than china wok because when I went I got food poisoning. The pictures on the walls were of hot chinese women and there was one of muscular sumo men - hot pictures for any sexuality. Overall, the highlight of the day was the hot waiter and the free soda and the tempura and well basically eveyrthing. also very cheapcome here :)also hire me if you see this ke you shi i can make foodKid-friendliness: There's a kid cashier that is very welcoming

This was the worst Hibachi I have ever eaten by far. It’s like they don’t have lick of seasoning in the place at all. Do not recommend. A wasted $44. Wish I would have read the reviews before I ordered.

First, their delivery vehicles are all in front of the entrance, showing how self serving they are right off the top. The parking lot is filthy and dark at night so good luck with the gangster wannabes lurking about. The dinning room is about the size of a walk in closet. Up at the counter you'll get greeted by an unshowered, unshaven guy with a chip on his shoulder about who knows what that goes great with his bad attitude. After your order is placed you'll be told ten minutes. After a wait of 3 minutes here comes your order. Asking for extra sauce will get you a "there's one in the bag" to make you feel like they suspect you of getting over on them. After you drive away, getting to your destination, you'll discover the Hamachi chicken is over cooked and tuff.

First time here and we dined in. The edamame was overcooked/mushy, the "white/yum yum sauce" was watery, carrots were cut thick and mushy and food was served on styrofoam plates with plasticware which is inexcusable this day and age. My shrimp and scallop terriyaki and bottle of diet coke was $20, which was way over priced for the quality.

This place must not be ran by anyone with culinary skill. I know for a fact this was NOT hibachi at all. This sad steak looks as if it was seasoned by the 1800's. Just a wee bit of salt and pepper. No flavor at all. Downright pitiful considering I paid 6 dollars extra for more meat.I do hope I don't get sick from this 'meal', I feel ashamed to have fed my unborn this tasteless nonsense.

Ichiban is a hidden treasure in Midtown Wilmington down from UNCW. The service is courteous and quick, and the food is always hot and delicious. If you're looking for excellent Asian fare don't miss this restaurant.

My first time and will be my last time ordering food from this place. The food was spoiled, the shrimp smell like ammonia. I highly recommend not to go. I called them and they offer replacement but no thank you. I'm not taking that risk.

Great hibachi restaurant. Fast delivery. Jason Chadwick is an excellent employee. Service is always great! My first choice for delivered hibachi!

I loved the shrimp egg roll, Very tasty! However, the crab Rangoon was pitiful. Barely anything in it and it was quite rubbery by the time I got it (delivered).
