Given the number of critical reviews, I was very unsure what I was getting into when we decided to give the Ichiban Buffet a try. Well, either we really lucked out on a Sunday evening or they have improved their act in the past several months. It was a perfectly satisfactory dining experience.
As noted by others, this is NOT fine dining. It is an Asian buffet. But the selection was large, the food was reasonably fresh, and we got good attention from our server, who frequently refilled my ice tea.
The sushi selection was a bit limited, but it was fresh. The offering for the hibachi grill were also fresh and the fry chef knew his business. There was a wide range of fresh, fried and baked offerings for the buffet, including shrimp and frogs legs! It would not be mistaken for 'health food', but it is definitely value for your money.
