Me and my Dad went for a meal, and the food did not disappoint. We ordered the Curry Yaki Soba and a Bento box, was extremely fresh and tasted amazing. The sushi at Ichiban is amazing had it quite a few times now. Fast service and a great price.

We went here to celebrate my friends birthday. Immediately, the atmosphere was amazing with lovely decorations. The waitress was lovely and kinds checking up on us. Most of my friends order the seafood/curry yaki soba and I order the Spicy chicken ramen. We got our food within 15mins and the food was incredible! I do recommend the Spicy chicken ramen in the winter.
