Great local teppanyaki restaurant! Easily accommodating to vegan/vegetarian – miso soup instead of beef broth, oil instead of butter, tofu & vegetables combo was delicious! I offered the 3 shrimp to my husband.
They include broccoli and carrots in addition to typical onion & zucchini for everyone. Noodles in addition to standard rice. The grilled veggies as entree choice also has bell peppers, mushroom and celery. Ask for the toasted sesame seeds – yum!
Chef and server were great. Small wait on a Tuesday night without reservation.

Love, love, love Ichibiri! My fiance and I go every anniversary and my family always have our birthdays here! I’ve never had a bad experience!

Runs laps around Riptide and Benihana. Sushi rolls are great and the teppanyaki food quality is far superior. Prices are much more reasonable than Benihana, which has gotten absurd, and the food seems fresher than Riptide and doesn’t include going through a dilapidated shopping mall. Service is touch and go. Sometimes fine and sometimes slow. But overall it’s a great place for a fun night out.

We always enjoy our chef and our food. Sometime it’s just the 2 of us and sometimes we are a group of 4 and even 11 once. Our food has always been delicious. They serve their entrees with soup & salad and the entree also comes with fried rice, noodles and sautéed veggies‼️

You can never go wrong at a great Japanese restaurant. absolutely kid friendly; what kid doesn’t like seeing food played with? Also a great spot for a date even! The menu is easy and straight forward. And the food selection is fulfilling.
Pricier than the average outing, but worth it.

Food was overcooked, chef didn’t say a single word to anyone, not the kids, etc. He then spoke.. how do you want your meat, medium rare, meat was cooked well done. Kids didn’t even eat. Then to top it off, they added 18% tip to the bill! Outrageous!!! Tips are earned.

Ichihiri is great and markedly better than Riptide.
Best filet I’ve had in a long time
Reasonable prices
Even the water was noticeably good, and I hate drinking water.
The only things I didn’t like were:
Our waiter was too quiet.
The server didn’t know what “shrimp sauce” is and said they didn’t have “yum yum sauce.” The 1 of 2 sauces they did have which was similar was a little off. Yeah, we’re from the east coast, so I don’t expect it to be exactly the same out here.

This was an extreme disappointment and total waste of money. As a visitor from the East Coast, it’s difficult for us to understand restaurants without air conditioning – and it gets pretty warm in there from the hibachi. Additionally, the seafood is much different on the West Coast than the East Coast (to each their own). West Coast salmon is much different than Atlantic salmon, and much saltier. We dined here the last week of June 2023 and each ordered from the teppanyaki menu, but chose to sit in a booth as opposed to sitting at the grills.
He ordered slamon and mahi manhi and salmon. The salmon in my opinion wasn’t bad, because I like West Coast salmon – it was flaky but very salty. The mahi mahi was an undesired mystery. I ordered chicken and steak. The chicken I had had the texture of rubber, and the steak was cooked as medium well, nearly well-done. I had asked for medium. The rice and noodles also have no flavor. On the bright side, the spring rolls and miso soup were not bad.
Had we not been so hungry, I would have had my steak re-made to medium. The food was not close to being a value for the money and I don’t recommend this place.

Food was good but the service was very disappointing. Will not be returning to this place. The waitress went MIA. Had to hunt someone down to get the check. Never came back to see if anyone needed their drinks refreshed or give us the check. Very disappointing experience for our 41st wedding anniversary. Will not be returning to this establishment.

This place is so delicious and the go to for the Teppan grilled show, always. Filet mignon and shrimp was excellent. Teriyaki chicken and shrimp just as tasty. If you’re in the area and looking for delicious Japanese dining, try them out. You will not be disappointed.
Eating here again for the umpteenth time. Love this place.
