Ichiban Japanese Restaurant — Restaurant in Loyalsock Township

On Mother's Day, my parents and I had dinner at Ichiban Japanese Hibachi Steakhouse & Sushi. For drinks, my parents shared a Mango Hot Sake while I had a Hot Japanese Green Tea.

We shared a Futomaki, Hamachi Roll, Unagi Roll, Sashimi Dinner, and Gyudon Beef.

The Futomaki consisted of kani, tamago, and assorted vegetables (including cucumber, avocado, pickled radish, and kanpyo and sliced into six pieces. The Hamachi Roll consisted of yellowtail and scallion. The Unagi Roll consisted of eel and cucumber. All three rolls were served on one plate with pickled ginger and wasabi.

The Sashimi Dinner consisted of 20 pieces of fresh fish (including salmon, tuna, white fish, yellowtail, and red snapper). It was beautifully plated and served with a bowl of sushi rice.

We were not impressed with the Gyudon Beef, which consisted of thinly sliced beef like bulgogi sautéed with onions and peppers in Japanese sweet mirin soy sauce. It was served with house salad, miso soup, and white rice. The dish was too salty to our liking. We wondered if the hibachi would have been a...

Updated Review: I went back there again, this time it was a weekday. I called ahead and made a reservation for one. I reached on time and they had me seated immediately. I was addressed by a waiter - Holly ? (Might have forgotten her name) and started with my order. Loved with Gyoza, followed by Honey-sushi. This was good. I should have stopped here but I went ahead and ordered Fried Udon with pork. Then I was full till my larynx. These were all the waiter's recommendations and I loved it. Next time, I will stop at the Sushi. Will visit Again. Review Stars are updated.

Long wait … and I wanted…. and waited …. and waited and waited for a table for one and when I decided to move on with life and tackle this hunger and quench my thirst and arrived at the buffalo wings area I got a call for an empty table. I can’t really say about the food but might need some work on the main door, and a little more double tables.

If you plan to visit this place , reserve ahead of time, don’t stand in the cold unless you want to try the...

if I could rate this a zero, I would.

my first problem with this restaurant- our hibachi chef looked mad and the "show" was really awful. at least make it look like you enjoy what you're doing.

my second problem- I asked our waiter if the soup was made with a plant based broth and if it was completely vegetarian. he told me it was. I am highly sensitive to meat and I get severe diarrhea and vomiting whenever I eat anything that even touched meat. after eating the soup I got very nauseous with stomach cramps and couldn't eat the rest. after arriving home I got the symptoms I previously mentioned. y'all are so lucky I wasn't allergic to meat or else you would have a lawsuit on your hands. I am NEVER...
