Went here today after church. My first time here, the food was delicious . A little wait, to be seated.. but not too bad though. I always order the chicken and wanted to try something different. I ordered the hibachi steak and salmon and a salad. Glad I did!! It was so fulfilling and reasonable price. You get your money’s worth!! If you are in the Griffin, GA area.. definitely check them out!!

My wife and I were in Griffin and decided to stop in this restaurant for an early dinner. The place is very clean and the hospitality was also good. The service was very good and the food was great , the prices are very good for the portions of food that you get. We had a tempura appetizer which was also good.
It’s a Japanese steakhouse so you have the option of the hibachi grill or a regular table, we choose the table but I still got a hibachi dish and still have left overs for lunch.

This was our first time going and will definitely return! Amazing customer service! Everything was fresh and very tasty. Delicious sushi! We enjoyed the hibachi service and lots of food to take home because we were stuffed, Lol!!! It’s not overly priced and really nice for a lunch or early dinner date.

Seeing a roach crawling through the restaurant while we were eating is beyond disgusting—it’s a health issue. There is zero excuse for that, ever. Appetite gone, night ruined.
What really seals the deal is how management responds to reviews. Instead of owning the problem or apologizing, they reply with snarky, condescending, back-handed comments like customers are the problem for calling out filth. That attitude is unprofessional, defensive, and honestly embarrassing for a business serving food.
If you can’t keep roaches out of your dining area and can’t speak to customers with basic respect, you shouldn’t be open. Cleanliness and accountability are the bare minimum. This place fails at both. Do yourself a favor and eat literally anywhere else.

I ate at Ichiban in Griffin, Ga with my sister in law today- I note that I haven’t been here in a few years, but it looked mostly the same. There was no wait for a table and the waitress was timely and pleasant. We ordered a water and diet coke. I immediately noted that the water tasted a little off but placed it to the side as the diet coke was just fine. We ordered some sushi and a lunch hibachi plate to share. The pricing was great, they were both on a lunch deal so our entire meal with tip was less than $40.00. The wait for the food wasn’t long, but you knew they were both freshly made as the sushi came out cool and fresh and the hibachi plate steaming when it hit the table. We were sitting in the left corner booth by the window when a german cockroach crawled out from behind the wood lining the wall the booth is sitting against. My sister in law pointed it out to me and in utter disbelief initially we questioned if we saw what we thought we saw. After confirming- immediately disgusted, we stopped eating, gathered our things, and got up from the table to pay at the front desk eager to leave. We didn’t ask for or demand a refund, we were cordial and pleasant at the register paying to leave, and decided not to mention it to the waitress taking our payment at that time as there were other customers at the desk and we wanted nothing more than to just go- without causing a scene. We can neither confirm nor deny if this has been a problem in the past or will continue to be a problem in the future. We can only state our experience today and wanted to make note of that as this is a review, and I think all reviews should be necessary, honest and fair. I think this checks all of those boxes. I do hope that if this is an issue, the facility gets it taken care of because had this not happened it would’ve been a good lunch.
I gave the food 4/5 stars based solely on the taste/seasoning and freshness upon arriving at the table- leaving out any bias of the post cockroach disgust. You’re welcome.
I gave the service a 5/5 stars because the waitress was quick and pleasant and I remember her from years back when I came more regularly. She has always acted in a timely manner and been as pleasant as she was today.
I however would have given the atmosphere 0 stars due to the experience with the cock roach, but that wasn’t an option and is my only complaint about our time here today.
I will note however that while I haven’t been here recently, when I came in the past I never noted cock roaches so maybe it was a one and done type of deal, we hope anyways.

Over 30 mins they trickled our food to us. They never brought my husband’s food at all. They kept playing a happy birthday song very loud and singing happy birthday. It was like Chucky Cheese. Sushi and soup wasn’t good at all. I tried many times and nothing has changed. Uggghh disappointed

First time ordering ahead.
Wasn’t 2 minutes n my order was up.
The older lady was very bright to chat with.
My order was correct and hot.
It was packaged nicely to not turn over.

Unfortunately will not be back. This was one of my favorite places to go for lunch. Today I ordered a different rendition of the Bento box that I normally get. I ordere the chicken tempura only to later find out upon receiving the food, that it only came with two thin pieces of chicken, and the other 6 pieces are broccoli and sweet potato. The menu does not mention that while they give you a decent amount of chicken teriyaki and chicken katsu, they only give you two pieces of the chicken tempura. When we brought it up to the server and manager, their responses were “You didn’t ask how much chicken came with it” and “We’ve been open for 7 years, and no one has complained, what do you want me to do about it” in a very sarcastic and rude manner. I’ve had the chicken teriyaki and katsu for lunch, and it did not have added broccoli or sweet potato. Not sure if it’s a lunch vs. dinner change. The manager eventually took of $2.40 of the $16 meal made up of very little meat.

Pretty good hibachi & Sushi. We ordered several different varieties of sushi as an appetizer but it only came a couple of minutes before the food. We decided to get the dinner for 2,which came with steak,lobster & scallops (as well as the usual noodles,rice & vegetables) The veggies were kind of bland. The seafood was seasoned well but slightly burnt. Service was really good.

I do love this place, the food,service, atmosphere, and overall friendliness of everyone is absolutely great. I just wished they had more on the menu to choose from for someone like me that can’t eat spicy stuff or just don’t like the taste of the sauce certain things that I would eat otherwise are cooked or based in. Other than that I recommend trying this restaurant and ordering off the menu and then going again to try the hibachi grill.
