The food was perfect. The chef was outstanding and very entertaining. We didn't see the waiter as much as we would have liked but the chef took care of us and they were busy.

Ok so usually when I come which is around 4-5 pm I have the best experience but today I came a bit earlier and my food was terrible the cook I had was by the name Tony and it was gross it tasted like no seasoning was added and jus overall gross this is my first time experiencing this i literally left my whole plate of food on the plate because it wasn’t even eligible to eat or pack up and the best person by far i know up there is Haley she had the best customer service experience and deserves more than a raise and I was so upset I didn’t see her up there to help me because with her around she would have never allowed that she deserves to be the head because it’s not just about just leadership but compassion and understanding and making someone feel at home and held to the highest satisfaction and that’s why she is the best up there she is the one who made me want to eat up there more often because I felt so respected and just treated right as a customer

Sean is the best bartender I’ve found in Waco. Man can this man make a drink. Sit at the bar and talk to him so he can gauge your style and i promise he won’t disappoint. I will keep returning just for him!Hailey was a good waiter as well and is super friendly and nice and just a sweet person. I will recommend anyone to visit cause they have AMAZING SERVICE all around.

Always a great experience. The Hibachi is stellar. We come from Austin at least once a month for the food here.

Started off with the Waco Roll which was what I hoped it would be. I followed it up with the Beef Bento Box. The beef tips were tender and flavorful, and I liked the other options that came with it. We had great service, and you have the option to dine in or eat at the Hibachi area. It sounded like they were having a great time!

Ichiban Japanese Steakhouse and Sushi provides a feast not just for the palate but for the eyes as well, thanks to their teppanyaki tables where skilled chefs perform culinary acrobatics with the utmost precision. The combination of steak, chicken, and shrimp, all cooked on the hot grill, offered a variety of flavors and textures that were perfectly seared and seasoned. Each protein was tender and flavorful, complementing the lively atmosphere and interactive dining experience. The Waco roll, a house specialty, was another highlight, featuring an inventive mix of fresh ingredients that were both satisfying and beautifully presented.The ambiance at Ichiban Japanese Steakhouse and Sushi is vibrant and welcoming, making it a great spot for both families and groups looking for an entertaining dining experience.

We stopped by for an early dinner. The restaurant was a vibe. The manager was very helpful and informative. We didn't wait long to be seated and our waitress Hailey was really attentive and gave really good recommendations. Would definitely come back again!
