Tokyo Ichiban Japanese Restaurant — Restaurant in Grande Prairie

Where do I even begin with this disaster? I wanted to bring my family in to have a delicious lunch for christmas eve but instead, I was served a combination of bad food, atrocious service, and a ton of disrespect Let's start with the food. First, I ordered 2 lunch boxes. The two boxes came all cold it looked like the lunch boxes had been reheated in a microwave from 2007. The beef teriyaki? it looked and tasted like a piece of cardboard soaked in soy sauce. And don’t even get me started on the tempura, it came cold and it tasted like a soggy napkin.

Now, onto the service. If you’ve ever wondered what it feels like to be invisible, just visit this place. I was seated for 10 minutes before anyone even acknowledged I was alive. When they finally did, the waiter walked over all annoyed and I’m pretty sure she gave me a look that said, “Why are you even here?” All the staffs were so lazy and half the time just stood there laughing with each other . The entire staff looked like they were competing in the “Who Can Make the Worst Facial Expression” contest. Spoiler alert: they all won.

And finally, the icing on the cake. I walked up to the cashier to pay for the food. I payed $102 for everything and tipped $8 (5%) because of the service and the time they took to make the food even though they didnt deserve it. The lady at the cashier screamed out “Ah filipinos, only tip $7” in Chinese. First of all we are not from the Philippines. Second, whats wrong with filipinos, so now how much we tip shows what race we are?

So, to sum it up: Horrible food, Crazy disrespect towards costumers, Racism, The atmosphere was so uncomfortable. Dont bother wasting your time here, go to literality anywhere but here. I wouldve much prefer to eat a cup of circle k noodles than whatever trash i just put in my mouth. Ruined my and my families Christmas Eve. Worst restaurant in...

We ate here recently and to be completely honest we were very disappointed. Not only its pricey...the only food that's good here is rhe tempura and fried rice. The sashimi/ sushi are not fresh! The seafood ( I tried salmon, tuna and shrimp) are FROZEN!!! The takoyaki taste old, greasy and is just like a plain fried dough. It also has a smell and after taste. It didn't even have toppings on it like a regular takoyaki.They also served us wings (fried dry hard wings) and they called it karaage! Ha! Karaage is supposed to be BONELESS!!! And made of chicken thigh! If they serve that in Japan or to a Japanese, they too will be disappointed. The chicken teriyaki is like boiled chicken breast (taste old too) and they just poured the sauce on top. The ramen my friend had also has a weird after taste. My husband said his steak is swimming with too much sauce. The waitress was super nice and friendly though. But we won't come back and eat...

I have never written a negative review before but today I had no choice . This is the third time I’ve been here and I’ve always thought to myself I’ll give these guys one more chance.

This time to start with the waitress brought a cutting knife right over our toddlers head and placed it right in front of him . I must admit the beef short ribs were fairly decent and the only good thing about this dining experience.

I am a huge sushi fanatic so when the sushi came in with fish that felt like had been sitting for days . The rice felt like it was sitting in the fridge for a few days and it was a lot worse then the ready made sushi you would find at a gas station in the middle of no where.

Given the standards and service this place is extremely over priced. If you have any respect for sushi I would recommend go to prairie sushi instead it’s cheaper and more fresh with...
