“ I decided to try the holiday special menu and I'm glad I did. I had the Snow Roll & Lamb Shank; both were delicious. As designated driver, I had to pass on cocktails, but my fellow diners said their Zombies were top notch. They also said their hibachi dinners were terrific as usual. The servers were attentive despite a full restaurant. When we arrived the parking lot was 99.9 % full. There were sounds of cheer from others in the restaurant which only added to our enjoyment. Everyone we encountered including staff and fellow diners contributed to a fantastic dining atmosphere. ”
“ Sushi ordered was very good. I would definitely come back for more. Can't wait to try the Hibachi. ”
“ Ichiban offers good food with great service. Their portion sizes are decent, and the prices are reasonable. Every time we're in town, we stop by Ichiban. They're always busy. The restaurant is clean and the ambiance is warm. ”
“ Very good hibachi and they were especially great with kids. All the drinks you could order. Sushi was pretty good and the chicken and steak hibachi was excellent. My only gripe is they have no yummy yummy sauce just ginger sauce and nasty mustard sauce for the hibachi! Plenty of parking in the lot and great service! ”
“ Delicious and fun. The kindest owner and hibachi griller! Generously gave balloon headbands and animals to our daughter. Above and beyond kindness to make it fun. Steak was delicious.. thank you. ”
“ Listen! From the minute you walk in the door the staff here is GREAT! Very family friendly. I used to come here very often but I moved so I haven't been there in awhile. Last night I went back and I still LOVE this place. The staff was so kind and sat us down as soon as we walked in the door. They took our drink orders. We sat down for hibachi and the soups and salads were in front of us in a very timely manner. The man who cooked was very friendly and fun with the kids we had there. He played games, laughed, made jokes. He was amazing! He also made some balloons for the kids, which they loved! Very entertaining. The food!!!! Let's get into it. There are so many options. The sushi has never disappointed! Never!!!! The hibachi has so many combos to choose from as well as options for the kids. The portions are always large and so filling. The staff was taking the dirty dishes out the way as soon as they saw they were there. I literally have nothing bad to say about this place. Literally the best hibachi in all on NJ. Not even Benihana can do it like this. The ambiance is cool, staff is great, they have a bar, they sing happy birthday. This place is a vibe. I've been there so many times and as long as I can go back, I will! ”
“ Lee is awesome waitress! On the non-hibachi side we were not impressed. The hibachi experiences are generally great. Food is good - just keep an eye on your meat or fish to make sure chef doesn't overcook (that's the case at any hibachi place). They have very strong lychee martinis. The pad Thai used be be better - last time we had it on the non hibachi side it was not good at all :( ”
