Food: Dry, tasteless food

If you're looking for food that's bland, lacks flavor, and disappoints in terms of freshness, then Ichibiri Japanese is your destination. The restaurant's Teppanyaki, regarded as the best dish, might strike you as just a show without substance. The Sashimi Dinner, though presented well, can't escape being lumped with the tasteless dishes at the place. Even the memorable Filet Mignon and Chicken Plates fail to redeem the food department.

  • Large Portions

    Portions described as huge, large, and great, ensuring leftovers and satisfaction.

  • Okay Taste

    Food received mixed reviews; some found it average, others tasty.

  • Low Quality

Vibe: Gloomy ambiance

With decor and lighting that are strikingly depressing, the ambiance at Ichibiri Japanese leaves a lot to be desired. If you're planning a date night, steer clear unless you're craving a noisy, unromantic setting. Even the restaurant's poor wine selection and lackadaisical attention to drink refills are more miss than hit.

  • Great To Entertain

    Great food paired with fantastic, engaging entertainment shows.

  • Bad Ambiance

    Decor and bad lighting make the ambiance almost depressing for guests.

Perks: Deafening noise, slow service

As if the dismal ambiance wasn't enough, Ichibiri Japanese piles on with egregious noise levels, ruining any hope of a pleasant dining experience. Making reservations can disappoint with ignored bookings and expect to grow older waiting for your food with their slow service. Any dietary requests will be met with jokes rather than the actual food you ordered.

  • Great For Kids

    Great family fun, kid-friendly atmosphere with engaging chef shows.

  • Okay For Groups

    Some delays and seating issues, but friendly staff and good for groups.

  • Bad For Diets

    Chef apprehensive about dietary requests, joked instead of accommodating.
