“ Ichiban Hibachi is the kind of place that turns a casual dinner into an event--one filled with sizzling plates, buttery fried rice, and enough flavor to make you question why you don't eat hibachi every day. As someone with a deep appreciation for a good hibachi meal (and a friends that take their food alter egos I randomly come up with seriously--shoutout to Wasabi Bobby), I can confidently say Ichiban delivers on all fronts. A perfectly cooked medium-rare steak? Check. Fluffy, rich fried rice that feels like a warm hug? Check. Veggies so good they could convert even the pickiest eater? Absolutely. But the real stars? The sauces. I don't usually drench my food in sauce, but when it comes to yum yum sauce, I want a whole volcano of it erupting onto my plate. And let's talk about the bonus: at Ichiban, you get both noodles *and* fried rice. Why choose when you can have the best of both worlds? If hibachi ever crosses your mind and you're wondering who's down to go--just know I'm already on my way. #GOUDapproved ”
“ My friend and I ordered takeout from Ichiban (Waterworks location). I ordered the steak and scallops combination dinner. This dinner comes with soup, salad, your choice of rice or noodles, vegetables, and yum yum sauce. The takeout portion is generous. I had leftovers for a couple of days. Everything tasted great and it traveled well. ”

“ This is exactly what I want from hibachi! The chef was great, food was cooked perfectly, and the waitress was attentive. I have never had noodles at hibachi so that was a nice surprise! It was pretty crowded but we only waited around 30 minutes because it is so large. They also have an option to not sit in front of the grill. ”
