ICHIBAN ASIAN FUSION RESTAURANT — Restaurant in Emporia

AWFUL experience! They were sold out of half the menu items and took my friends order for a steak and then came out way later only to say “sorry we gave our last steak to the other table so you have to pick something else instead.” (WE WERE THERE FIRST). Ashlynn(waitress) took 30 mins to bring drinks and an hour and 20 mins passed and I had to ask waitress where my food was! Everyone else was getting food who had ordered way later than me and they said they had “closed the kitchen” and forgot about my meal and couldn’t make anything else even tho they took an order for my friend that wanted food to take home and she said they would make it at the end and then refused because they “closed the kitchen and aren’t taking more orders” with customers in the building just starting to eat and I still didn’t even have my food. Waitress was so bad, and she didn’t even know how to handle the situation, management came when I complained about how bad our experience was and that it took WAY TOO LONG and all they gave us was a “discount for the boba” & 10% off next order ONLY, And yeah right Like I want to go back there! 😡They also tried to send my food with me, that I waited over an hour a half for, and didn’t even give me my rice that came with my meal! I had to once again complain and ask where the rice is. I wanted an itemized copy of the receipt too and all I got was a piece of paper saying we paid $95 AND THAT WAS WITH THE “DISCOUNT”! Those employees have horrible customer service skills! Complete rip-off and bad experience! The time before that my friend got very sick after eating there. Will not be back! You lost a great customer! Mizumi is much...

Had a really good first visit tonight. The staff was very kind and professional. The wait was very reasonable. We liked the atmosphere -- kinda geeky and also beautiful. Harry Potter was playing on one of the screens, and we really liked the mix of modern and traditional Asian art. For food, we got the spicy salmon roll, green Thai curry with chicken, and bulgogi (Korean barbecue beef), plus a Thai tea. I'd always been skeptical of fusion restaurants: can they really serve food from so many different cultures and do it justice? Well, I was very impressed! Everything was delicious. The curry was spicy and robust, the sushi fresh and complex, the bulgogi meat was WONDERFUL. The only complaint I have is about the kimchi. It wasn't fermented, spicy, salty, garlic, gingery, etc. It was bok choi soaked in a red pepper sauce, sure, but not scratching that kimchi itch. The bulgogi was also served with shredded raw cabbage which was interesting..... But the meat was so good, I didn't mind. We all really enjoyed ourselves and will...

Found this place online so we decided to pop in and try out some sushi. My dad was with us and he got hibachi so we had a well rounded experience. Our server was very nice and took care of us well but she did lack some knowledge on the food and drinks.

First off, big disclaimer here! They do NOT serve any alcohol. Saki was a big miss as I love to pair saki with my sushi. We were told you can BYOB however.

The food was tasty! The sushi rolls (pics attached) had a good presentation and the flavor was solid. The hibachi looked good too and the review from my dad was similar to our sushi - it's good, not great. My mom also had a bowl of curry and it came with 5 levels of hot, so having the choice to pick your level of spice was a great feature. Also, the bowl of curry was HUGE so you get fed well, I can promise you that :)

Nothing bad to say really, it's Emporia sushi, so don't come in thinking it's high bar. But the staff is very nice and the sushi and hibachi are good so you'll have a...
