Ichiban | Japanese Steakhouse — Restaurant in Summersville

It was a small restaurant with only about 12 tables, but everything was very clean. Within minutes of us getting there every table was filled and they had several carryout orders. The service was a little slow, but nothing that you wouldn't expect with a full dining room on a busy Saturday night. The food was very good and we will absolutely go back when we are in the area. I ordered the shrimp tempura bento- and was extremely happy to see there was a large portion of shrimp. Most other restaurants serve one or two shrimp with tons of tempura vegetables- not this place!! It was 5 or 6 big pieces. If I had to give any negative to the food, the bento comes with gyoza dumplings but not the chili oil sauce that is more traditional. The husband ordered the hibachi chicken bento and it was exactly what he expected and he enjoyed everything.

As soon as we walk into the door, the waitress is rude and acts as though we are an inconvenience, even going as far as saying “it’s them again” when she sees us. She tries to sit us in a corner, and when we ask for a different booth due to the service dog, she is rude and acts as though it is a huge disservice, even when the restaurant is empty. Throughout the dining experience, she avoids our table and the service is horrible. We watch her got from table to table, and as soon as we ask for anything she is rude. I’ve never been somewhere that is so rude about someone with a service animal, when she tucks under the table and doesn’t...

Me and my finance was told to try this place out around early 2023. So we did and we can not stop coming back. I have never been big into sushi or this kind of food until I tried this place. Nobody does it as good as ichiban in Summersville. Me and my finance are always skeptical about new food but we try something new off of the menu every time we come here because it’s always Good! We have our favorites but this place will not disappoint you. I personally would recommend the West Virginia roll and the east meets west roll. Both are cooked rolls and...
