We have dined at Ichiban several times in the last year, and it is by far the best Japanese restaurant we've been to. Better than Saga and Benehana. Even on weekends, there is never too long of a wait by the door, and the restaurant is very family-friendly. Although the food may seem a little expensive, it is very good, and the portion sizes are so massive, the leftovers will be enough to take home and make another meal of.
