Ichiban - San Diego

I was so surprised when I received my order and in the best way possible. Delicious, great quality food. Amazing warm hearted customer service also! Highly recommend.

I've been coming here for over 20 years. It's a good, solid place to get a relatively cheap but tasty Japanese meal. The sushi used to be better and bigger but it's not a deal breaker. I really love the vegetable curry and garlic vegetables entrees. Much of the staff has been there as long as I've been going and they are always super friendly and happy to see us.

This is a gem of a place. It 's small, quaint and has darn good food. Plus their workers are total darlings.You first order and pay for your food at the register then choose somewhere to sit.Being in a new place, I changed up the size of my ramen from large to small in order to increase my orders of sushi.The lady behind the register was funny in encouraging me with a good choice! These ladies know how to be friendly, so you 're already getting awesome service.I enjoyed the smallness of the place. It was homey and casual. Luckily, I snagged myself nice outdoor seating during late Lunch. They have heaters so you don 't really have to worry about getting cold, especially during our recent overcast.The Miso and Tonkotsu Ramen were about the best I have had. The Tonkotsu was the right amount of creamy and delicious while the Miso had flavourful spiciness. My sister said Tonkotsu was salty, which I liked, but keep that in mind as she likes spicier flavors.They both had nicely cooked Pork, Naruto, and bamboo among the normal ramen noodles. Ahh, I absolutely enjoyed their ramen.Their sushi was also well made. We had Rainbow, eel and crunchy rolls. The rainbow was not colorful wich took away from it 's presentation but it was delicious none the less. It consisted of pale tuna, salmon and shrimp toppings.Their eel was not bad either.Their crunchy roll, however, was my favorite blending both sweet flavor and texture into one satisfying roll.Try the place out because you will not be let down!

Great little spot for sushi with amazing happy hour prices and fast service. Normal prices are decent, but happy hour (4-8pm) is definitely where it's at! There's even a few tables outside which always makes for a delightful dining experience. Bring some friends and have a great time.Food: 5/5

Cute little place with good food and very friendly service!Go in, take a look at the menu, go up to the counter, chat with the friendly staff and place your order. A few minutes later, your food/drinks come out and enjoy!They have sushi rolls, ramen and some other Japanese rice/noodle dishes. For drinks, they have Sapporo, Orion (yessssssss), Asahi beers, sake and plum wine. The happy hour prices are great!
