Ichiban Holmdel Japanese Restaurant

As I walked in I felt amazed at the place ⛩️, great spacious environment with a lot of seating. When I asked for hibachi for one; the hostess looked at me crazy as if I was asking for something difficult. Anyways, decided to sit down regardless and try their food out which was very tasty. EXCEPT THE SOUP. It really tasted bland and disgusting. I had ordered Spicy Salmon 🍣 for an appetizer which was top-notch . Lunch special is around 17$ but for the amount of food it’s great! 😌 The salad is one of those things that gets me excited to come back to any hibachi spot. The salad dressing definitely hits the ball out of the park. 🥗 The noodles and rice were great no complaints. 🍜 🍚 Got the filet mignon and chicken combination. Come here for lunch or dinner! 🍽️ With friends and family! 🫂 L

The steak in the hibachi was cooked to perfection. Sat in the restaurant because the hibachi grill looked too full. Great ambiance, lighting, and furniture. Server was friendly and extremely quick. Was given a warm wet napkin to start which was great after coming in from the cold. The steak was my favorite part of my chicken and steak hibachi entree. Everything was delicious. Only complaint was the chicken and veggies were warm instead of hot but they still tasted great. It was fun hearing the cheers from the grills in the room next door.

Great night out with the family. Our Hibachi Chef was amazing and added a bunch of new stuff to the routine! It does appear that although the prices haven't increase over the years, the amount of proteins (steak and shrimp) has decreased a lot as our plates were loaded with a ton of rice and noodles.

Another NJ restaurant looking to take advantage of its patrons by illegally charging a service fee fir debit cards, and too boot the food was horrible Fried rice had mothing in it, all of our 4 hibachi platters underwhelming at best, only the noodles were tasty - none kf the veggies were even cooked Better off finding another asian hibachi place • In New Jersey, merchants generally may not impose a surcharge specifically for using a debit card transaction. Federal rules (under the Durbin Amendment and card network rules) and interpretations of state practices mean debit card surcharges are not permitted the way credit card surcharges are.  • Even if a business attempts to label it a “service fee” or “convenience fee” for debit cards only, that practice is widely treated as not allowed

This is the best Hibachi restaurant I have ever been to. Great, friendly people who treat you like family through your entire experience. Every chef who has cooked for us has put on an excellent show and prepared the food perfectly. Portions and food quality can’t be beat. It’s also a BYOB so bring your own sake, wine or beer and you can keep your cost lower. The prices are very reasonable. I really have no bad remarks at all.
