Ichiban Japanese Restaurant 3701 McKinley Parkway, Buffalo, NY 14219

"Excellent place to have a great food. Many options to choose from. Price is very reasonable. Great quality service. Highly recommend this place."

"I’ve given this place the benefit of the doubt because sometimes its good and other times its not. The first picture is a specialty ‘Black Dragon’ roll I ordered for $14. It cost more than the other two rolls I ordered combined. Not only that, but this roll is advertised as being topped with a whole piece of eel, and you all can clearly see that half of my roll has no eel on top! And look at the size of this ‘specialty roll.’ Each piece is less than a half inch thick! I’m over it. Save yourselves the trip and eat somewhere else. Inconsistent, and in my opinion this place is hustling you out of your money by being cheap with their seafood. Really unfortunate"

"I cannot say enough great things about Ichiban. The staff is friendly, efficient and accurate, and the sushi is out of this world. I can't go more than a week, sometimes a few days without craving the Tiger Roll. Anytime I get sushi from anywhere else, I'm immediately upset that it's not Ichiban because nothing else compares! It's always so fresh and delicious."

"Excellent sushi! We drive over an hour just to come here. It has been a struggle to find a high quality sushi restaurant in the area. Ichiban is the first I've found that has a nice variety of rolls that aren't all masked with spicy tuna. They have sushi chefs and not some guy named Mark you went to trade school with that's into "fusion" ie. Adding pork or hot sauce to everything and cutting portion sizes/jacking prices. The special rolls were huge, some having 10 pieces. My only complaint was that the Wasabi Lobster roll was 80% crunch, 1%lobster, 19% everything else. I would never order that again. The Ichiban roll was fresh and very much like a Naruto Roll but with rice. I would highly recommend. The mango tango tasted great but was the size of a standard $6 roll. I also got the scallop, white tuna, and the Naruto- which were all very fresh and tasty. I love that they offer a variety of sake at very reasonable prices. Oh and the age tofu was pretty good. It was a large portion, which I like but... usually the pieces are smaller so they don't fall apart and become a hot mess. Which is what happened so it was difficult to eat. I'd still order again! I was also happy to find they offer both low and regular sodium soy sauce which is pretty rare now that most have switched to only low sodium. All the staff especially our server were so nice, efficient, and friendly and everything was very reasonably priced. I'm already planning for my next dinner!"

"The food is delicious and the presentation is beautiful. The servers are helpful and the food comes comes out very fast. I've never left disapointed."
