Ichiban Japanese Restaurant

This is a small place tucked away in the Safeway shopping area, just past Dollar Tree. The sushi is fresh all fresh, and their bentos are perfect! Every single menu item we've had here has been mouth watering good! The service is always there when you need them, but they are so great you barely notice them until you need them. It's an intimate setting with each seating area being separated and almost secluded. The artwork is beautiful, and there's a calming atmosphere that just relaxes you while you eat. My husband and I HIGHLY recommend trying this place next time you want good sushi, or a lovely and filling dinner.

This has been one of my (& my family's) favorite sushi places for years (decades for me now). I'd first heard about Ichiban from two friends (in different circles) back in the early 2000s, tried it once, and quickly became hooked. It was (is?) a popular go-to lunch spot for me & my Nike co-workers (back in the day), as well as for others working in the vicinity, not to mention a regular (weekly?) dinner destination for my husband & I early in our marriage. Ichiban has a wide selection of delicious sushi rolls as well as a number of fully-cooked options for the non-sushi/raw fish lovers in your group. The owners run the place, and treat pretty much every customer (first timers or otherwise) like long-time friends; they've known our son his entire life, and we've heard their family updates over the years as well, and they never hesitate to ask about my family when I'm there without them. You can tell from the number of Christmas photo cards on display (spanning several years) that we're not the only family that's gotten to know them! ;) Their restaurant business seemed to have stayed strong both through and post-pandemic, and although we have moved closer to the Tigard side of Beaverton, we still make the trip to fill our bellies. (And I may or may be one who buys waaaay more rolls than I can realistically eat in one sitting, just so I have leftovers to eat later.) *FYI: Their "spicy" sushi isn't for the faint-hearted; I'm pretty certain there's no mayo mixed in with the Sriracha! Give them a try!

I have tried this place several times and I am real happy with it. High quality sushi at a reasonable price for the area. The portions a little on the small side but overall still a reasonable value. Favorites are the Tiger and Salmon skin roll. A go back place.

This food is always fresh and very good quality that's why I keep going back! Support our local great local businesses!

Eat here! The best hole in the wall you will find! Super fresh. Get the SALMON!! The salmon Nigiri is the best I've ever had! Thick and melts in your mouth like butter. Can't wait to go back!
