My partner and I tried Ichiban Sichuan for dinner the other night. The food was outstanding!
When we arrived, it was pretty busy but there were a few tables available. The hostess was pretty engrossed with someone, but she eventually led us to a table and provided us with menus. It took awhile, but eventually a waitress came by to take our order. (They were quite busy and the waitresses seemed very busy.) We ordered the String Bean with Garlic Sauce, the Lamb with Cumin, and the Pan Fried Thick Rice Noodle with Pork. We were surprised that the String Bean appetizer was served cold. It was a little jarring at first, but after a few bites I was a fan. The garlic was almost creamy and buttery and every bite was delicious. The lamb with cumin had just a little spice but it grew over time and again the flavors and textures were amazing. I'm not a huge rice noodle fan but the pork and the sauce were delicious.
Beyond the incredible food, two things that stood out for me most. When I went to use the restroom it was not only immaculate, it smelled good. Some restrooms have an odor where you want to get in and out as quickly as possible, but this restroom was actually pleasant.
Also, we biked over. There is a dearth of places to lock your bike nearby. Having some bike racks close would be a great improvement.
