Freshest sushi I have had in Cincinnati at Ichiban Japanese Restaurant. The omakase was an incredible value. Chef clearly sources quality fish and the presentation was beautiful.

The ramen at Ichiban Japanese Restaurant is the best in Cincinnati. Rich tonkotsu broth that has been simmering all day, perfect soft-boiled egg, and tender chashu pork. Worth every penny.

Went for happy hour at Ichiban Japanese Restaurant and the half-price rolls were exceptional. The spicy tuna crunch roll is a must. Great sake selection and knowledgeable staff.

Ichiban Japanese Restaurant has become our weekly sushi spot in Cincinnati. Consistent quality, fair prices, and the chefs remember our favorites. The yellowtail jalapeño is outstanding.

Special occasion dinner at Ichiban Japanese Restaurant was perfect. The wagyu nigiri melted in my mouth and the Japanese whisky selection is impressive. Worth every dollar for a special night.

Solid Japanese food at Ichiban Japanese Restaurant. The bento lunch special is great value and the miso soup is excellent. Sushi rolls are fresh and generously portioned.

Best kept secret in Cincinnati for Japanese food. Ichiban Japanese Restaurant does not cut corners on ingredients and the attention to detail shows in every dish. Try the chirashi bowl.
