Ichiban — Restaurant in Edmonton

Went to Ichiban for our anniversary dinner after seeing so many positive reviews... Extremely dissapointed. Sushi was badly rolled, falling apart or too big to properly eat. They completely forgot about one of our rolls and I had to remind the server about it. Portions were not nearly big enough for the price. Gomaee was GOD AWFUL, not fresh at all with terrible dressing, it was so bad we had to send it back. Sake was incredibly overpriced ($20 for a large? Really?). Server was pushy when we wanted to take our time to order... and my biggest pet peeve of all - they charge for green tea. Once we left I was informed by my partner that they had taped off the heating duct in the bathroom so it was cold as ice in there which is just bad policy. I have no idea how this place has so many positive reviews and customers, it was by far the worst sushi place we've been...

I agree with other reviewers that Ichiban is a casual dining spot. The interior could use some renovating to improve the atmosphere. However, overall, we were satisfied with the quality of food and service and...

went here for my mom's birthday because of the "high review". Very disappointed: sushi badly rolled Their udon noodle soup is VERY BLAND - DO NOT GET WHATSOVER, I felt like I was drinking hot soup over very soft noodles and bland meat. their crispy teriyaki chicken over rice was a joke, just a bunch of overly coated chicken over a bed of rice - no vegetables to take away the bitterness of the chicken coating I also want to add that there was only soy sauce available in the table so there wasn't any help in trying to bring some flavour in their food - especially that sad udon soup. Only ate half of everything, Wasted money, left felling "half full" and definitely...
