Been coming here for years with my friends and family, and for the past few weeks now, the restaurants in the day time smells like urine I mean the whole dining area smells pretty bad. Their food all have this old/sour taste to them. I'm not sure what happened but it's pretty depressing to see one of my favorite restaurants becoming like this.

Few places have sushi this good. The Korean fare is superb. The hosts are amazing and gracious. They have Soju! Simply put, this is one of the best sushi restaurants I have ever dined in anywhere and it's in the top two Korean restaurants. Ichiban means number one, this place does not disappoint! Family owned. Every single item on the menu is absolutely fantastic! I recommend you start at the top and work your way down, you may need repeat visits!Dietary restrictions: They will accommodate any restrictions with a smile.Kid-friendliness: They have high chairs!Wheelchair accessibility: Ramp access.

Our party tried a large variety of the menu and honestly the best dish we had was below average. Wouldn’t recommend anything we ordered.

Delicious food! My pork bugolgi was spicy and rich. The sushi was really fresh. The seafood stew smelled very intense ( fishy) but the broth tasted awesome. - it was a little light on the seafood bits though. Also the kimchi was spectacular! We’ll definitely return.
Everything I consumed was amazing! I have no complaints and all the adoration! We got the latest sushi boat and it was absolute perfection! We also got the smallest sushi boat and it was just as perfect!! All of the saki was also in good taste!!

The flavors were perfectly balanced, and the textures were a delight to the senses. From the classic California roll to the more adventurous specialty rolls, every bite was a taste of perfection.But Ichiban is not just about sushi. Their hot dishes are equally impressive.

A good place without a doubt. And not because the owner is Carol but because I met her sister there. Without a doubt, she is the best woman I have ever met.❤️ If it weren't for the fact that she already had a boyfriend, she was undoubtedly the woman who could touch my heart because her beauty was total on the outside and much more. Beautiful inside her heart. It was admirable to have felt something very special for her. and difficult to accept that it was impossible to have his love forever. There are not many women like her
My wife and I went here for the first time today. We really enjoyed our dinner here. The outside of the building isn't super attractive, but the inside is very nice and clean. I had the Nigiri Sushi Deluxe, which was very good. I liked that it was also authentic prepared sushi and not the garbage paste like sushi some buffet chain restaurants serve. My wife had their thick homemade noodles with vegetables and chicken, which she really enjoyed. It was a Friday afternoon, so it was pretty quiet at the time we went, and service was very fast. The gentleman who waited on us appeared to be the owner and was very friendly. An older woman, who I believe was his Mom, brought over our drinks and food. She was cute, didn't seem to speak a lot of English but was very nice. It's a very comfy place, the food was excellent, and the prices were very reasonable. I would highly recommend, we will be back soon!

Take out review of Korean food:Kimchi jigae- very hearty with lots of kimchi, vegetables, tofu and pork. Very flavorful broth, pretty mild spice level. Very generous portion, side of rice. Good stuff for kimchi lovers.Jajangmyeon- the noodles themselves have a nice bite to them, very long, not sure what the type is but taste good on their own even. The sauce is savory/smokey/umami. In the sauce are neatly cut chunks of potatoes, zucchini, onion, and beef. Delicious.Very polite service while picking up.

Some of THE BEST food I’ve had in MONTHS! I got beef yakisoba, which was super delicious, some exceptionally tasty gyoza, and some mochi for dessert. Can’t go wrong with mochi, and the mochi was great here. The decor and atmosphere was top-notch as well, made me feel very relaxed after being in the DMV for hours! Staff were very kind and great to talk to. Highly recommend trying this place out, even if you don’t typically like Japanese/Korean cuisine. There’s something for everyone, and I can guarantee you’ll find something you like! I will definitely be coming back sometime soon, this is my new favorite restaurant. :)
