    A good place to eat sushi. I highly recommend it for you. They have an especial on Mondays, the sushi is half price. The drinks are good for the price.

    New Year Eve, Eve dinner. Had a Groupon for over a year, and it was extended because of the virus. Today, it was too expire. So I treated myself to dinner. I got everything I got last time except for 2 other dishes. The shrimp udon noodles, and the special roll Fire Roll. The tempura appetizer again I changed out the broccoli and onion for zucchini and sweet potato. I also did the chef choice sushmi which had the salmon, tuna, and this time red snapper. Spicy Crab hand Roll, was a amazing. I think tasted better than last time. The Fire Roll special came out on fire which was really cool. It was shrimp tempura inside with raw fish on top in a spicy mayo, and eel sauce. My other half got the Shrimp Udon noodles, he is not a big sushi fan. I tried it, the shrimp was very plump, and moist, not rubbery or chewy. The flavor of the dish was so good. He also got the California Roll, he liked it, to me its boring. If you are a sushi lover that is not the Roll you buy. Just my opinion. Lastly, I wanted sake as a treat for the year. I had not eaten sushi in over 10 months. They let me try the coconut and the black label sake. For a little more money you can get the bottle instead of a large. I asked if you can take the bottle home. YES YOU CAN TAKE IT HOME. that was an easy decision. I thought they closed at 10pm.. they closed at 9pm. I don't know the waiter name, because Annie had taken over which I didn't know. They didn't tell you the kitchen was closing if you wanted to order anything else. How I found out, was everyone was starting to leave, and I said we are done if they wanted to start cleaning up. She said they were already cleaning up and the kitchen was closed. Ok. Happy New Year! Goodbye 2020, thank goodness.

    I usually have pretty good service here but tonight I did not. I was rushed to order, my server asking me 3 times if I was ready within maybe 5 minutes of sitting down. My general tso chicken was uncomfortably pink, and I didn’t receive my roll I ordered, which was repeated back when ordering, until they came over with the check. Once I received my roll, although it was excellent, the waiter hovered across from my table watching while I ate until I paid and left. Hoping it was just a one night thing, but I’m hesitant on returning again.

    Sushi was good, a bit pricey Like everything else these days thanks to the inflation driven by the current administration. Exterior will fool you, inside is very nice and a modern style.

    Ichiban is my favorite place to get sushi in Indianapolis. The restaraunt is clean, wait staff is attentive, there is never a wait, and all food is on point. Prices are fair and their specialty rolls are amazing. Highly recommend!

    Great sushi and traditional dishes. Service was great and the prices not bad at all for the quality. Pink Dragon and some yakitori with sake is the way to go!

    Sushi is generally better than other places and it can be a bit pricey. The environment is nice, but the walls and windows are dirty. I used to go to lunch here about once per week, not sure I would if I work in that area again. Sea Urchin special was $9.95 for two pieces and tasted very much like the ocean, but didn't seem as fresh as it could have been.

    This was by far the freshest tasting sushi I have had since moving from California to Indy. The staff is very nice, clean restaurant, and you never have to ask for a refill on your drink. Mandy was my waitress and was extremely helpful with my order choices, based on what I was wanting to eat. I had the shrimp tempura and I changed out the onion and broccoli for zucchini and sweet potato. You get three pieces of shrimp. Instead of doing a sashimi dinner which comes with soup and salad they have a sashimi appetizer. Three different kinds of fish, and three pieces of each of those fish. I had tuna, salmon, and yellowtail. Next was the spicy crab hand roll. Oh my gosh the best. They fry the crab and it's just delicious and crunchy. Last, was the spicy tuna hand roll. Good but not my favorite and wouldn't get it again. Just not to my taste buds liking when there is so many other choices. I will definitely go back, and have Mandy as my waitress.

    Very nice interior, polite and attentive staff. Everything was obviously fresh. Calamari was the best I've ever had.

  • 3/5 T L. 1 year ago on Google
    The shrimp tempura roll was pretty good, but our other rolls weren’t the best. We went for their lunch special, but it was still a little pricey. It was $13.95 for 2 rolls and $17.95 for 3 rolls I think. It wasn’t bad by any means, but I expected more for the price point.

  • 5/5 Andrea P. 5 months ago on Google
    We go once a week and love this place for sushi and for the General Tso’s and the soup and salad. So fresh and top quality. The staff is the hardest working people and so nice and attentive. We love seeing those smiling faces! Xo

  • 5/5 Alex F. 6 months ago on Google
    Excellent lunch specials. 2 standard rolls, miso soup and small house salad for $13 and 3 rolls etc. for $18! We purchased several rolls off of the menu, all of which were delicious. We also ordered chicken fried rice for the kids to share, and they loved it. The flavors were on point and all the sushi was fresh and tasty. We spent about $100 on: -2 roll lunch special (w/ soup and salad) -3 roll lunch special (w/ soup and salad) -chicken fried rice -2 specialty rolls -1 PACKED tuna handroll (i mean it was mostly tuna!) -green tea It was a ton of food for 2 adults and 2 kids. Could have fed 4 adults. The outside is deceiving because the inside was well laid out and decorated nicely. The service was great! They weren't busy at the time, but they were nice and food was done promptly. We will be back!

    After door dash screwed up my order. I went to the restaurant and they fixed it without hesitation. I appreciate their candidness and ability to act to resolve the order mix up. The food is great, the environment inside the restaurant is very relaxed, and calm. Definitely will be back many times over. Thank you guys again for all your help. You rock!

    Probably my 3rd or 4th favorite sushi in Indy but they have my husband's #1 favorite crispy salmon skin roll & hand roll. Everything there is good. Their sushi happy hour is an excellent deal. Very nice, friendly staff & comfortable, inviting atmosphere.

  • 5/5 Emily C. 1 year ago on Google
    This is one of our favorite places for sushi. Service is always quick and friendly, food is delicious and for a fair price in my opinion. As our kids are picky eaters and they understandably don't have a typical nuggets, fries and Mac&cheese kids menu, we save this place for "date nights"

  • 5/5 Jorge Cervantes (El-Cusin v. 1 year ago on Google
    The best sushi in my opinion. Also great food.

  • 4/5 smjaygal 1 year ago on Google
    Honestly, this place is overpriced for the quality of food. I'd be happy to pay what's listed if things were higher quality or tasted better. Unfortunately, places like this tend to lean heavy into service to appeal to American diners which ends up affecting the food. Like yeah the place is OK but not on my top 10 list of Japanese restaurants in the general Indy area.

  • 5/5 Benjamin T. 1 year ago on Google
    We have been going here for over a decade now, and always receive the best service along with the best sushi in the state of Indiana. Warm and friendly staff, fast service, superior quality. You can go to a trendy sushi place on Mass Ave and be treated like garbage and be disappointed, or you can go to Ichiban and have an amazing experience from start to finish.

  • 5/5 Shasta R. 1 year ago on Google
    OMG I love this place so much. The atmosphere is relaxing during the day. At night it can be considered smooth and/or romantic. The food is worth every penny. The service is impeccable. My favorite thing though is the staff in general. I'm disabled and my first time there I got into trouble. They all went out of their way to help me and even kept checking on me. I still get tears thinking of their care and respect. They are now my favorite place.
