We visited ichiban for the teppanyaki menu (and chose their ichiban option due to it including lobster). The food was very good overall and the teppanyaki experience a lot of fun. We were both pretty surprised that the place was pretty much empty though, although this may be due to it having been Sunday night (adeje seems a bit dead on Sunday evenings).

Overall, it’s a great restaurant, and I’d definitely recommend it to everyone.
One more little thing, just for me personally—I’d love to see Philadelphia sushi...
