Ichiban Asian Cuisine

Very underrated authentic Asian cuisine in Knoxville. Ordered some takeout, picture featured: chicken with ginger & scallion, and jumbo shrimp in ketchup based sauce, which all tasted amazing. It comes with a big box of white rice that serves about 3-4 people. I requested a chili sauce on the side which tasted great with the chicken and rice. I am Chinese myself and I highly recommend checking this place out!

Based on my first time getting food from here, I will definitely be back, and soon! The food quality is excellent. They obviously use quality ingredients here, and definitely pay attention to the details with their recipes and preparation. I will probably boost this review to five stars after I have further "sampled" the menu. Also, even though I got food to go, I was impressed by the ambiance of the dining room, something that I don't usually pay too much attention to. This would be a nice place to go on a date or for a family outing.

Sorry to say this, and I hope this restaurant will pay attention to the comments on reviews. The vegetables in our dishes seemed to be fresh enough- however, there was absolutely no flavor in the food other than too salty and too sweet. We would really like to see this restaurant success, but you cannot call imitation scallops the real thing on the menu and expect no one to notice. Soup should be more than a faintly salty flavorless watered down broth. This restaurant needs a real chef in the kitchen!

Maybe we went on a bad day, but I wasn't impressed with this place. They were clean and staff was nice, but the food was mediocre at best. My husband's orange chicken was so dry he could barely eat it. My chicken dish had a funny taste to it. The sweet tea was awful. I would eat here again, but definitely will order something different.

I ordered this from DoorDash and thought I was getting our normal Ichiban hibachi grill… we got our food and it was disgusting!! It was extremely Salty, the rice smelled weird, and the sauce was like soup In our peppered steak! It is a weak substitute for our normal Ichiban! Chinese food is usually a 50-50 shot if it’s good or not! This place is NOT!

My husband and I ordered four rolls of sushi and a quarter duck entree with bok choy and rice(not pictured) and every item was absolutely amazing. The employees were extremely kind and immensely helpful in recommending items. I absolutely will be returning on my next trip into town, I cannot recommend this establishment enough!
