“Sam I Am”..Sam you did! Than you for a fantastic evening. Superman or Batman; makes me no difference. You are the man! Your knowledge and personality make you perfect for Hibachi chef. Our food couldn’t have been better. Entertaining Hibachi meal was had by all 6 of us at the table. We will be back; everytime we come to Florida, you will see us again!

Esmeralda was so amazing Our chef was so funny and very accommodating. You can tell he was very skilled with his cooking like an artist of food. Very intimate setting which was good for my husband and I for my birthday dinner. I got the sirloin and shrimp cooked perfectly. Very flavorful. Reasonable pricing for such large portions. Will be back soon 10/10 would recommend to a friend

Have been coming here for 20 years. Always good food, service, & atmosphere. More fun at the hibatchi table of course but we had a bigger group this time.

Thought there would be more of a show but there was a little magic to go around. So much waiting though
It was hard for a sensory spicy kid to sit and wait so long but when the food hit, it hit her soul lol

We have lived here for 7 years and never heard of Ichiban. The decor is nice and the restaurant is clean.
They seated us at a table and didnt come back for 6 minutes to get our drinks order. The chef did a nice job fixing the food. It was good.
It is hibachi so it is expensive.
Someone who works there or owns it had her two young boys there and they were a bit disruptive.
She kept trying to quiet them but they are young boys.
I felt sorry for the couple that was seated next to them.
It was our first experience so we do plan to give it a second try.

A group of eight of us had a fabulous teppanyaki dinner on March 20, 2025. Sam our chef was very entertaining joking throughout the meal. The food was very good and our Thursday dinner group agreed we will be returning to Ichiban

My wife and I attended a company dinner here and had a wonderful time. The food was delicious and there is something satisfying about watching the meal being prepared on the hibachi. Lady D is an above and beyond hostess. Everyone in the dinner party appeared to enjoy the food and themselves. My wife and I will be back for more. Also, for all of my fellow members of the tribe, the egg rolls here do not contain pork and are the best my wife and I have had.

The food was okay, nothing to scream about. But the owner came up to our table after we had gotten our checks and were waiting for the server to process the payments. He said, “You need to leave, because I’ve got people waiting.” Excuse me, what? How rude is that? Likely not returning.

There are only 4 hibatch tables so there was a point wait to be seated. The server was nice and friendly especially for being new. The cook was friendly. The food was mid.. It didn’t have the usual hibatch flavors in use to from other restaurants.

Sam is an amazing chef! The food is wonderful (no msg) ! You will leave with a to go box because he gives so much food. The price is right and it is a great experience. It’s so nice to have a REAL Hibachi place in town where they cook right in front of you!
