Ichiban Japanese Restaurant

Consistently good. Not out of this world but is acceptable for the cost. They do need to offer more fountain drinks though. Not having lemonade is pretty wild given nearly every other Japanese inspired restaurant does. That results in me having to get my child a massive size Gatorade instead.

Food used to be much better here. Not sure as to what caused the quality to go down but I doubt I will return anytime soon. Beef was not lean like it used to be and the dishes do Not need all that cabbage in them.

Hello, hello, hello. I have eaten at Ichiban often in the past (a while ago). With prices going up and my pay still the same, I've been seeing my a lot kitchen more. I just finished not finishing my order from Ichiban Japanese Restaurant. The use to be better. I saw the sign taped to the counter where you placed your order, given you information about how the prices of items are going up, and they can now only give us one sauce. We walked away with no sauce with our order. The next issue was that this had happened twice in the past. Items weren't rung up in our order, the wrong thing, or the item was rung up but left out. We drove home. I opened my box and got a good look at my teriyaki shrimp, vegetables, and fried rice. Everything in my box was pale. Nothing looked like it was grilled or fried. I ate some, and it didn't have a taste, no type of season. The teriyaki sauce didn't have much of a flavor. They didn't add much teriyaki sauce. I also ordered mushroom soup. I opened it, and right away, it didn't smell right. The ginger salad was good. I ate the salad. My sister didn't eat her entrée or soup. She had something different from me. She did eat her spring roll. She was the best out of what she ordered. I feel like Ichiban Japanese Restaurant is cutting corners to save money and raising prices because the price of food has gone up. Understandable. You shouldn't cut too many corners. The food is what brought you customers. The customers bring money and new customers. Unless you're making money other ways and you don't care about this restaurant, then, yeah.

Great food, fast happy service!

Their yaki soba is the best I've found

Probably the worst sushi I've had.

I only order the sushi here, but it's always the freshest and best in town!

Delicious. I can't expound enough just how kind and friendly the staff are here. Thank you!

I have lived in Winston for 6 years and was thrilled after my first visit. Their entrees offer generous portions at a very reasonable price. Their sauteed vegetables are very tasty and their service is fast. The decor is understated, quiet, and welcoming. If you like healthy, tasty, reasonably-priced food, this might be your favorite restaurant in Winston-Salem too.

Love the house dressing and California rolls.

I've been eating here for over 10 years, it's my favorite sushi, always welcomed with a smile! I've never had anything bad.

Soups are horrible and the house salad dressing made me gag I would avoid here at all cost we left after trying just a simple salad and soup both barf worthy

I had a late lunch there today and LOVED it! My meal was wonderful, price was on the high end of reasonable but worth it, service was good as well! I will absolutely go back.

I've been coming since I was a teenager and it's still my favorite restaurant!

Sushi is what they should stick to. That part was good. The hibachi steak (that I asked to be cooked medium rare) was way past well done and the shrimp were not much larger than a nickel. At 17.95 I expected much better quality. Lackluster taste by itself but the sauces helped. House salad dressing was a "0". Wont return for anything but the sushi.
