Tucked away in the corner of a small strip mall, Sushi Ichiban Ellesmere is your average sushi joint in Scarborough.
Stopped in for lunch on a Sunday afternoon. It was our first time here. There was a grand opening/under new management/newly renovated sign out front - not sure how recent it is. The atmosphere is good and decor is great. Staff were attentive and friendly. Seemed to have a constant flow of customers for a small place. No wait time though (at least when we were there).
There was a good selection on the menu. We were presently surprised that the lunch specials were not just for the weekdays (that's always a plus!). Having said that, we ordered a sashimi bento ($10.95) and salmon teriyaki bento ($11.95) from the lunch specials. We also ordered jap chae ($9.95) and spicy salmon/dynamite roll combo ($11.95). We also tried to order some toro but unfortunately they did not have any. Oh well, that was a bit much for two people anyway. Everything was presented nicely. The quality was ok and flavours were good. Nothing too over the top that needs mentioning. If you're looking for a quick fix to satisfy a craving and you're in the area, this could be the place.
