Ichiban Sushi & Ramen

My second time here is fabulous. We love it. The sushi rolls are fresh. The fried chicken breast which I didn’t take the picture was so juicy and delicious. It was gone in a second before I thought to take a picture. The Japanese curry is the best we have had so far in Tampa Bay. The takoyaki is freshly made and very delicious. You won’t go wrong with any item on the menu.

A small spot with big flavor! As a party of 4, we were still able to get a table after waiting only 10 minutes on a Friday night, which was very convenient since they don’t take reservations. People in our group got sushi and loved it! The ramen and Japanese curry were delicious. The ramen was the perfect level of spice.

Love the new location! They are making it work, and I like the atmosphere even better. It's more open, but feels more personal too. Food is still the best, and the people know what they are doing. Currently, there's no liquor license at this new place, but hot sake isn't necessary for me to enjoy great sushi. I love their ramen here too! Enjoy! Itadekimasu!

Great local Seminole Heights sushi and Ramen restaurant. I had the Chirashi Bowl lunch special with miso soup and it was delicious! Service was friendly and quick. The fish (and egg) was great but I was really impressed with the rice. Portion was very good. I thought I was going to order more but I was completely full after the Chirashi! The atmosphere was comfortable, clean, efficient, and authenticly Japanese. I live close to Ichiban, and I will return and frequent this restaurant. I will have a Ramen next time. I came back next day to have the Signature Pork Ramen and I had a la carte nigiri yellowtail hamachi sushi. Ramen was fantastic, especially on this near record cold day in Tampa. The two pieces of yellowtail were big in size and delicious. I highly recommend this restaurant.

Beyond worth the trip from St. Pete! I’ve been wanting to try Ichiban for a while and I’m so glad we finally did. We showed up around 6:30 on a Saturday and were seated immediately, which was awesome. The restaurant is small and intimate, making it perfect for a date night. We wanted to try a little of everything, so we split the gyoza and crab Rangoon to start. Both were seriously the best I’ve ever had. We also shared a few sushi rolls and the beef ramen. The broth was out of this world and the sushi was incredibly fresh. Great portions and prices. This is officially my new favorite sushi spot, I just wish it were closer! Caroline did such an amazing job with this place. The only minor downside is it can get a little smoky inside since the space is small and close to the kitchen. My eyes
