★★★★★ 5.0 Debbie James · Jan 2026

Great local teppanyaki restaurant! Easily accommodating to vegan/vegetarian - miso soup instead of beef broth, oil instead of butter, tofu & vegetables combo was delicious! I offered the 3 shrimp to my husband. They include broccoli and carrots in addition to typical onion & zucchini for everyone. Noodles in addition to standard rice. The grilled veggies as entree choice also has bell peppers, mushroom and celery. Ask for the toasted sesame seeds - yum! Chef and server were great. Small wait on a Tuesday night without reservation.

Love, love, love Ichibiri! My fiance and I go every anniversary and my family always have our birthdays here! I've never had a bad experience!

★★★★★ 5.0 Doug Brady · Jan 2026

Runs laps around Riptide and Benihana. Sushi rolls are great and the teppanyaki food quality is far superior. Prices are much more reasonable than Benihana, which has gotten absurd, and the food seems fresher than Riptide and doesn’t include going through a dilapidated shopping mall. Service is touch and go. Sometimes fine and sometimes slow. But overall it’s a great place for a fun night out.

★★★★★ 5.0 Denise Schnitzer · Jan 2026

We always enjoy our chef and our food. Sometime it’s just the 2 of us and sometimes we are a group of 4 and even 11 once. Our food has always been delicious. They serve their entrees with soup & salad and the entree also comes with fried rice, noodles and sautéed veggies‼️

★★★★★ 5.0 Mo Ghazal · Oct 2025

You can never go wrong at a great Japanese restaurant. absolutely kid friendly; what kid doesn't like seeing food played with? Also a great spot for a date even! The menu is easy and straight forward. And the food selection is fulfilling. Pricier than the average outing, but worth it.
