| - We were headed to California from Utah and wanted some sushi early in the morning. This was one of the few restaurants open at 8 am so we decided to try it out. Unfortunately we weren't able to get sushi since they don't serve it until 11am. We were still glad they had a breakfast menu which included American and Japanese breakfast as well as handful of noodle bowl options.
I had the Japanese breakfast and my girlfriend got the deep fried sweet tofu upon bowl. The miso soup was excellent and my breakfast was mostly really tasty. It had small portions of grilled salmon, rice, oranges, cantaloupe, soy beans, seaweed salad, and a regular salad with a light ginger dressing. Everything was delicious sans the fermented soybeans, but I'll attribute that to my own personal taste. It was also served with green tea which was great.
The udon bowl was pretty typical, nothing fancy and the broth and noodles were good. The deep fried sweet tofu was kind of different, but still kind of tasty.
Just as note, their actual restaurant is still under construction and has been for 14 months. The server there mentioned that construction has stopped currently and the don't know when it'll be done. Overall, we really enjoyed our breakfast at Ichiban.
