My boyfriend and I have been going to IchiBan constantly for sushi for the past two years. We love it. They know us and always greet us with complimentary edamame and sometimes even soup. At the end they even bring us fruit!
Ever since half price sushi, there's just no reason for us to ever go anywhere else for sushi. We love it.
As far as the cooking tables, I'm not a fan. I like cooking tables at other places but IchiBan is a much better sushi restaurant. The cooks are friendly and creative and entertaining but the food itself is just sub-par and the prices are a little high.
All in all an AMAZING sushi place but I wouldn't suggest going for the hibachi tables.
