| - It seems like(judging by the previous reviews), Ichi Ban may have changed their staff out recently.
Jamie and I have been frequenting this gem since early January 2009, and we're in love with it.
we've never sat at the hibachi tables--only at the sushi bar, where Johnny(san) has been endlessly friendly to us.
I always order the 'Cucumber Special'--sliced cucumber rolled around spiced tuna(maguro) with pickled, sliced radish, sliced crab, and wasabi. Jamie has tried nearly everything on their menu, but his favorite has been the roll filled with grilled freshwater eel, cucumber, deep-fried crab, etc...all deep-fried.
for dessert, Johnny-san would always slice up some oranges, mangoes, etc(all free). also--pre meal, you get a complimentary bowl of perfectly-seasoned miso soup, and sometimes, complimentary edamame pods--salted and wonderful :D
honestly, we were frequenting Ichi-Ban weekly, but we haven't had the time to go there recently. so my upcoming review will be much more detailed...sorry :( bottom line is, the service is spectacular, the food is phenomenal, and we love the place. this is what REAL sushi is about.
