Very average but friendly hibachi. Portions are generous but the seafood wasn’t the best. Stick with the beef or poultry options instead. Private dining rooms are nice for small gatherings.

Loved that this great sushi/hibachi restaurant has added an All-
You-Can-Eat (AYCE) sushi menu for those who prefer it like me. Honestly, the sashimi had fresh thick cuts and the rolls were absolutely yummy, plus they had sushi appetizers on the AYCE like tuna tartar, sushi pizza, and other fan favorites. I hope this AYCE doesn’t get too popular too fast because I plan on eating here a lot more often. The sushi chefs are also very friendly and really know what they’re doing. 10 out of 10 for me. Keep it up Ichiban!

****DO NOT EAT HERE UNLESS YOU LOVE ROACHES IN YOUR FOOD!****
We’ve been here a ton of times. On 2/13 we went to have hibachi dinner. When I was eating my salad that I was sharing with my toddler, I looked down and noticed a cockroach in my food. We told the waitress and manager, they said sorry, and we left. Absolutely disgusting. If there’s one, there’s more. Eat at your own risk.

Service was quick, smooth although our waiter could have smiled a but more. Food was good, would definitely consider returning. Not a big fan of a chef attempting to toss bits of food into my mouth, as if we were trained monkeys, although this may have been standard 20+ years ago, it needs to be retired. As a group of seniors the chef misread the party.

Our hibachi experience at Ichiban 18 was extremely disappointing. The chef began throwing zucchini at people while they were actively eating, without any warning. This was especially unacceptable considering there were multiple children at our table. Not only was it unsafe, but the kids didn’t receive any of the fun hibachi experience that other tables were clearly getting.
The chef never asked at the beginning if anyone wanted sauce, and when several people requested it during the cooking, he became visibly irritated. When serving the food, much of it landed on the table instead of plates, as if he simply didn’t care.
There was no performance at all—no interaction, no explanation. The chef didn’t say a single word to our table. Hibachi is supposed to be entertaining and engaging, and this was the complete opposite.
Overall, this was a careless, unprofessional experience, and not what you expect when paying for hibachi.

I had the mango shrimp which was good. My dining partner ate the utah noodle with chicken and it was good. We had our own little secluded booth and it was a fun atmosphere. The red sangria was good.

This place never disappoints me. I have been coming here for the last 10+ years and I always have a good time whenever I come with family and friends. I don’t know what they do differently, but the food tastes a lot better than the other Hibachi places I have been to. On another note, Today I discovered a new delicacy on their menu. The “Pizza Sushi” is amazing! Recommend this dish (Pictures attached).
Thank you for all the good memories Ichiban 18, please never close…
Do I need to say more? This place is 5 stars hands down. 100% recommended.

We’ve only had takeout from here and they were lunch specials. $13.50 for 3 rolls is a great price for the quality of the rolls you get here.
Ingredients taste fresh and flavors are good. My favorite thing about the rolls is the 1 grain thickness of the rice on the outside layer. While many sushi places give more rice which can fill an empty stomach, I would always opt for as less rice as possible because it will give you the texture but elevate the interior ingredients, which is the star of any roll.
With the rice layer this thin, they don’t cheap out on the filling and it fills up the tray. That means you get more quality protein for your money and that’s always a win. Other reviewers photos show the same thing.
Soup and salad is solid. At the end of the day, it meets and exceeds my expectations for the price.

Went here for Birthday Hibachi dinner with the family. Everyone enjoyed the chef cooking our food in front of us and the sushi was also good.
