ICHIBAN JAPANESE RESTAURANT, St. Petersburg

Based on the reviews, it appears that Sushi is their shining star. Certainly it is not their Thai dishes. First time here. Ordered the Thai Basil with Beef and asked our server for the meat to be rare. Upon getting my dish and tasting it...the meat was not rare, there was very little meat in the dish, barely a mushroom and very little basil taste. It mainly consisted of strips of bell pepper in a tasteless sauce. I would have complained but I was having dinner with fairly new friends and didn't feel comfortable doing so in front of them. Had ordered a glass of wine when we placed our dinner orders but never got it.More

Better than the neighborhood

Nice atmosphere once you're inside -- complete opposite of when you're outside. Sushi roll was good, but not that special. Beer was ice cold.

It was okay, waiter talked to us twice.

It was kind of cool they bring hot towels but there just towels I guess, it’s more for the experience. The pad Thai noodles were a bit dry. The sushi rolls was average. The waiter talked to us maybe twice. Customer service wasn’t that great,...we waited a bit just for noodles. The food presentation was kind of cute.More

Fresh, delicious, great selection

The hot sake is actually HOT! The seaweed salad was sizeable and delicious. I got the 2 yellowtail rolls (dumb and dumber and flaming fling). Amazing. Don’t miss this place. Very unassuming from the outside. The best sushi around.

Best Sushi in St Pete

We ordered 3 specialty rolls -Old man roll -Calm roll -Dr V roll They were fantastic!! Fish was fresh, rolls were like pieces of art and they were delicious. We also had a Panang Curry and a Chicken Sauté, lots of fresh crunchy veggies and...flavors were on point. I have tried several sushi places in St Pete and this is truly the best in St Pete.More
