Ichiban Asian Fusion

I was able to eat in at Ichiban Asian Fusion. The service was quick and helpful. The menu was heavily Americanized, with simple stir fry dishes, classic American-Chinese chicken options, and cream cheese-forward sushi rolls. Everything was fresh to order, but most items felt a bit under seasoned for my taste. The dishes were simple, which I think offered mass appeal, which was evident because the restaurant was very busy while I was there!

I love Ichiban! Easily my favorite sushi between Hamilton, Colerain, Oxford and Harrison. It’s great portion sizes for the price and is always delicious. We’ve never had a bad meal!

The sushi was good, but I specifically ordered something that didn't have avocado as an ingredient (Naruto Roll) because it doesn't sit well with my stomach, and it still came with avocado. The lo mein was good. It's hard to really rate 'service' since you order, they bring it out to you, and that's it. It's a smaller restaurant and can feel a little crowded if there's a rush of people, but it wasn't too much of an issue. I would say it's worth visiting, but isn't high on my list of places I would return to. 7.4/10 overall.

The hibachi steak was really good. It was actual sirloin (see pic) vs that stringy steak you sometimes get in other takeout. It was well done, but it didn't get chewy because of the marinade. It wasn't too salty like some takeout can be. The sushi rolls were all made to order and tasty. My husband got the general tso's and he said it wasn't too sweet or too salty - the best he's had at any place around here. Also the family working there was really nice. Thanks Ichiban for making an easy weeknight for us.

Update from 5 years ago... We still like Ichiban. Appetizers and Sushi prices are still good value and taste good. Other dishes have been hit or miss. If you get bento boxes I don't recommend shrimp (tiny shrimp)but the chicken one is good. They only have miso soup. I miss the noodle soup with the big shrimp. Review from 5years ago...It's good. Not my favorite sushi but my husband loves the Valentine roll and I like the shrimp tempura appetizer. The bento box gives a nice variety of items for a good sized meal at a good value.
