Horrible sushi. Although the service was prompt, the sushi itself was not fresh and later caused unpleasant after effects (food p0isoning). I highly do not recommend Ichiban if you consider yourself a sushi lover, or if you don't like feeling sick for hours!

Excelent sushi! – I have eaten at many top notch sushi restaurants around the world (New York, London, Paris, Cape Town), except for Japan, granted these restaurants had great ambiance and good service, but they were really over priced. When it comes to flavor and quality Ichiban is still my favorite. There are a few down sides yes, sometimes service can be slow, however very friendly, mostly on weekends because the place is always busy (testament to the great food, people who know what is good are willing to wait), and the ... read more

Tampa Sushi – I moved to Tampa from NY about a year ago with my girlfriend and as soon as we got here we went looking for a nice Japaneses restaurant. When we find Ichiban we were very surprised at how good it was. After eating at several Japanese restaurants in the area I have to say Ichiban is by far the best one. They are always busy and but usually have ample seating available. The prices are very reasonable when compared to others in the area. My favorite Sushi roll is the Alaskan. The best texture I have ever had with ... read more

Absolutely the best. – Best sushi and sashimi in Tampa. Fresh, beautifully garnished, right temperature, generous servings and a team of waitresses that give you personal attention. I've been going there for over 15 years and have yet to find a better place.

Good sushi – My partner and I were regulars at shiso sushi, which we considered the best sushi in Tampa, but they have unfortunately closed. We wanted a place close to Seminole Heights and GOOD. We were very happy to find Ichiban. Great rolls and very friendly service.

the sashimi is quite tasty. it melts in my mouth. – ichiban is my favorite when i want sashimi, sushi rolls, or tempura. first, the sashimi appetizer is truly delicious. please ask for the vegetable tempura when dining with a guest who is unfamiliar with japanese cuisine. your adventurous guest will begin to see the joy in this type of food. next, crunchy baked salmon with eel sauce is phenomenal. everyone loves this one. even the newbies to sushi. of course, as others have written, the variety of rolls: spider, volcano, cow... read more

best sushi in tampa – ichiban has to be one of the most delicious sushi spots in tampa. for those who complain of slow service, maybe they should consider the fact that raw fish is being prepared for them in the safest and freshest way possible. any wait that might possibly be experienced will only produce an end result of a mouth-watering, savory plate of fresh sushi. the service is excellent -- always prompt seating and the servers are so considerate and friendly. very relaxed and quiet atmosphere!! great for a place to ch... read more

Considered one of the better spots for sushi and sashimi in Tampa, it serves a variety of Japanese dishes at reasonable prices. – The Scene Located in a small strip mall near the University of South Florida, Ichiban's lunch buffet attracts a crowd that can linger into the dinner hour on some evenings. Be sure to dine with someone who enjoys Japanese food, because the menu is limited otherwise. The Food Generous portions of tempura, yakitori, kushiyaki and tofu selections will come to your table, along with other dishes like ... read more
