Sushi Ichiban

The food, portions, and service are always 10/10. The service was excellent and this visit was no exception. Our waitress was attentive, quick to check in without being intrusive, offered vegetarian recommendations and was just so kind in her approach. You can tell the staff take pride in making every guest feel welcome. This is hospitality at its best, and it’s the reason we keep coming back time after time.

I've been coming to this restaurant for ages, and today's experience was so wonderful I had to leave a review! The service was great and our server was incredibly kind and attentive. The food was absolutely delicious. I've never had a single complaint about this place in all my years of dining here. Highly recommend it to anyone looking for a consistently great meal!

Big portion of food. Ordered a mango roll and an avocado tempura for lunch, and couldn't finish it. Foods are very fresh and delicious, so many layers of taste of the mango roll. Love here! Will bring family and friends here.

The sushi here is very tasty. At the entrance we were greeted by a woman with a smile and excellent service. Here there is an individual approach to the client. I recommend this place to everyone. I would be happy to come back again.

Our family enjoyed late lunch here. We were all satisfied with the meal. The sushi rolls are extremely good. The food quality is better than expected. The waitress there is nice and friendly. She talked to us in Cantonese. Nice experience here :)

Been coming here for over 12 years, and I always get sushi from Sushi Ichiban, we usually do takeout. We enjoy their selection, and they NEVER mess up our orders. very nice and pleasant, and very reasonable times and their fish is always fresh. Parking is mostly in back and side (S and East corner of 37th and Bow Trail lights, but it's rarely full from other businesses.

Interesting little place that's been around for awhile. I'm guessing it was originally owned and operated by a Japanese person at one point, but then taken over by someone Chinese later due to the unusual available selection of Dim Sum items (and Cantonese Chinese staff as I distinctly heard Cantonese in the restaurant and I'm part Cantonese myself)? Is it the best sushi in town? No, i'd cede that to places like Nupo and so on, but you will also pay the prices for such top places. But is it a good neighborhood sushi place with decent prices and portions? Yes it is, and I'm speaking out of experience of living in Tokyo for awhile and having my fave neighborhood haunts outside of the usual public centers and tourist traps like Shibuya, Asakusa and Roppongi. Now admittedly the pork cutlet from my katsu don could have been crispier and the egg not overcooked, but to me this dish is a measure of a neighborhood Japanese restaurant as it's pretty much an inexpensive standard found in every hole in the wall Tonkatsu and Shokudo, not unlike finding steak and eggs in every diner in America. I would give it a 3.5 out of 5, not the best but still worth it for comfort food once in awhile. The Grilled squid was decent, and the tempura could've used a little more seasoning, but still a decent take. The music was an odd instrumental mix of Broadway and Hollywood musical number, with Chinese pop (also instrumental) thrown in which someone as travelled as me would notice, but 85% of most diners would have caught that. Otherwise, it was a decent meal, and I would rate it appropriately more of a neighborhood resto (even if Japanese). My actual rating would be 3.75 stars, but Google doesn't allow that. Still, if the goal is to have something Japanese, it'll do in a pinch

While I was still living in Calgary, this was my go-to sushi place. Their food is excellent, their prices are reasonable and their service is great. They know their customers and they treat them like gold.
