I was searching for a go-to sushi place in north York so I thought...why not try this place? Menu was pretty exhaustive and lots to choose from and lots of space in the restaurant it seems. Sashimi was okay and Service was on the slower side. My experience was a bit disappointing compared to other ichiban restaurants. I Wouldn't come back here...so my search continues.
Atmosphere - 3/5 - It's inside the empress walk building so free parking included (yay!). After we parked we couldn't find the restaurant...and walked pass the front doors of this place a few times because they don't have an Ichiban sign on the front! There's lots of tables inside and it's a bit idly shaped as it's sort of like a L shaped restaurant with a wing closed off (think this used to be their grilled tapanyaki section) and looked like it was used for storage.
Taste - 3/5 - there was two of us so me and my friend ordered a mixed sushi/sashimi platter and the volcano roll. The sashimi is not that fresh and there was not much taste to the volcano roll.
Price - 4/5 - in comparison with the other sushi places in this area this place is fairly priced.
Service - 3/5 - this is a mom and pop run restaurant but they don't seem to have enough staff to tend to all of their customers needs and attention. Pretty typical Asian restaurant etiquette seems to be required here in order to get the waitress' attention to ask for water.
