Ichiban Japanese Restaurant Restaurant Review: This may not be the hippest spot in town, but it’s still a reliable place for authentic traditional Japanese fare, especially if you stick to lighter options. That doesn’t mean you should pass up the tempura, however --- Ichiban does it right and serves it hot and crispy. Beyond that, we tend to go for the fresh sashimi and straightforward rolls such as the rainbow, but the short ribs and sukiyaki are tempting as well. Skip the combos and order à la carte --- you won’t miss the deep-fried sides and basic salad. The drink selections focus on beer, but cold saké is also an option. Dessert is green tea ice cream. |
