Ichiban Japanese Restaurant, Sarasota, Florida, Japanese Restaurant Details

Food:

Hands down the best ''all you can eat'' restaurant in town

Food:

excellent experience. would definitely recommend. the sushi is awesome and the miso soup is very tasty

Food:

I have lived in Japan and I like to think I have had as good of sushi as you can get. I love this place for a few reasons.
I like traditional sushi more than I like Americanized sushi ( rolls) . I like the fact I can get the selections of fish I like. If I go to a place like Daruma or Pacific Rim I end up having to get the sampler which is not usually the selection I want to be eating. ( However it is the only way to be economical in a place like that unless you come from money.) Although Ichibans ambiance is not as great as other places, the quality of the fish is pretty good and comparable to most other places in the area. I also like that you don't get as much rice with your sushi ( which means I actually get full from the fish and not as much on the rice.

My GF who is not a sushi eater is also able to enjoy her Chinese food meals at the restaurant. They actually make some good Chinese food dishes that are better than most of the Chinese in the area which is kind of sad.

This is my two cents for what it is worth.

Food:

Wife and I just went for the first time with 2 other couples and could not have been more pleased. Service, food, and atmosphere were excellent. The all you can eat deal is the best thing going, and their tuna sashimi is amazing. All I can say is that it was well worth every dollar I spent tonight and we will deff be going back

Food:

The best value for Japanese anywhere. Wonderful food, Great Service and a $20 all you can eat Sushi, Sashimi, Teriyaki and Tempura special with loads of items to select from! Fish is always fresh and tasty. Here's a Tip: If your thing is Shrimp Tempura, get the Shrimp Tempura appetizer as they use different batter on that one (as compared to the still good all you can eat version). The shrimp tempura appetizer is out of this world and the best shrimp tempura I have ever tried ! The only suggestion I have for them is to play Japanese music. Still this is our favorite "go-to" restaurant and merits 5 fantastic stars !
