ichiban japanese restaurant

wonderful server. my business is all about customer service. it is the driving force behind the company i work for. my husband and i went to ichiban for a mini celebration for his new job and refreshment for me because i was in one of those moods where i just wanted to relax and breathe and take in the craziness of my day one piece at a time. as we were looking over all the delicious sushi choices, i could hear a server talking to folks about her garden issues and it was a full on conversation. when she came to take our order, i just wanted a nice glass of wine. she was so complimentary over the choices i made i wasn't quite sure how i felt about it; i mean i'm the one always concerned with customer service and here was someone taking the time to do it for me. it wasn't until we got involved in this conversation as she poured a glass of wine and commented on what a perfect size the wine bottle lid was for a peppermint patty recipe she had been wanting to try that i realized, " here is an interesting person" i immediately got involved with her in this conversation. peppermint patties just happen to be myfavoritecandy in the world. she took the time to write down the website that she had gotten the recipe from and we talked about our ideas for budgeting and making creative gifts for others. i watched her approach the next table and before you knew it she was involved in a completely new conversation with the next table. i understand this website is all about food. the food was delicious but honestly, customer service is something that makes what you are enjoying even better. so when you go see if dawn is serving.

i've been coming to ichiban since i can remember (at least 20 years!). they know my family by name and are genuinely interested in our lives! i can't not say enough about the quality of their sushi and other food items! they are consistent and i know exactly what to expect every time! the owners are about the nicest people you'll ever meet and their kids help out on busy nights!
myfavoriteroll is the ichicban roll which is a smaller version of a rainbow roll. but, honestly, you cannot go wrong with any of your sushi choices! the baked green mussels are incredible as well!
from the main menu, my son loves their chicken udon soup and my daughter inhales their buttered salmon! their house salad is also incredible!

love it!. i crave ichiban all the time! the entrees, i will admit, are not myfavorite(although a lot of food). the soups and sushi are great, though! their ichiban soup and the ichiban roll are the best (and the rolls are cheap). but, the reason i felt the need to review is, simply, the ginger salad dressing. my entire family has been going buy and just buying the dressing to go. it is, hands down, the best i have ever had. try it!
