Restaurante Japonês - ICHIBAN — Restaurant in Loulé

Arrived at 7:25pm table of four - we were seated for teppenyaki and then were asked to move to another teppenyaki table 5 mins later as someone else had booked there. The family that booked there arrived and asked to be sat in main restaurant as they just wanted sushi. We ordered and starters and cans of drinks were delivered prompt. Then an hour later still no mains. We asked twice how long it would be as we had kids with us and were told the chef is busy cooking takeaway order… service was appalling. We then asked for the bill and paid for starters and drinks and left. Not before we asked them to remove the service charge they had added on despite service being dreadful. No apology from the staff - chef didn’t even look up. Sushi starter was fine - who knows what teppenyaki would have been like - but wasn’t prepared to wait an indefinite amount of time whilst chef cooked for people who weren’t in restaurant. Would not recommend....

Amaaaazing sushi, as always. Family run place that does fantastic food. Incredible value for money - approx €17 for dinner per adult for as much as you like from the extensive menu - range of appetisers, noodles, tempura, meat, fish and of course a wide range of sushi - also has a good and very well priced wine selction. Quality of sushi is great, always so fresh. I would also highly recommend, especially if you want to make more of an event - call to book at the tappenyaki table, it's great, cooked Infront of you and interactive, good fun. Brilliant for groups or with kids. If you want sushi near almancil you absolutely cannot beat this place, top quality sushi!! We will be...
