A pleasant surprise. Located next to a Pizza Pizza, I was expecting a bit less. But Ichiban is a nicely designed, comfortable, slightly elegant Japanese restaurant in a sea of lesser restaurants.

The lunch bento is $11.95. I ordered the shrimp version, that was quickly delivered with perfectly cooked shrimp on a bed of vegetables with a very nice sauce. The daily lunch specials are $10. Today... more

Food is good. Service however is terrible (at lunch at least). Waitress is clueless how to coordinate and prioritize. I waited forever for my bill while she folded napkins. One hour for lunch is not nearly enough for how slow service is. I will not be coming back.

Me and my husband went there for dinner during the week and were really satisfied with the quality of the food.
I had the spicy chicken, which was really nice (and very spicy) and the portion served was big enough for one person.

Service is quite nice but a bit slow. Would return here for sure.

Great selection with very fresh ingredients. I go with friends and work colleagues somewhat regularly and on this particular occasion was with my husband. We were their first table in the new year and they gave us dragon rolls on the house! The waiter was very friendly and even performed magic tricks. Always clean, nice music and great food that comes pretty promptly.

I've been visiting here a lot lately with a friend. Its always quiet, which I love. We're often given s small appetizer and sometimes a small dessert on the house. The bento box comes with shrimp/veggie tempura which is a huge plus for me unlike the sushi place in oak ridges(next to dominos) this is now my go to spot. I've been visiting here a lot and have been disappointed the last hand full... more

Fabulous spicy tuna salad and tuna tataki. Great service, too. The best part? Our waiter performed a magic trick at our table for my son. They also brought us complimentary soup and aga dash tofu.

A little pricey, but we'll be back for sure!

Been here a few times now and wanted to add a review. Ichiban has a modern beautiful decor and fast, attentive service. The waiter was great, gave us a few "on the house" appetizers and did some impressive slight-of-hand magic tricks when presenting us the bill.
The menu is full fledged Japanese with everything from tempura to teriyaki and of course, sushi. Prices are very reasonable.

I was really looking forward to try this place but when I did, I really wasn't too impressed. Inside it looked nice and modern. They spent some time making the place inviting and tasteful which is nice. The place is huge but when I came in for weekday lunch, I was the only person in the restaurant.. Hmmm... I wonder why.

Lunch specials were just under $10 and you can choose either tempura,... more

First time in the restaurant tonight and I was surprised how nice the atmosphere is.. Beautiful..!!

Service was quick and curious with tea while you wait.

I ordered a combo that came with a california roll, cucumber roll, and an avocado roll. It tasted slightly above average but priced at $12 + tax it wasn't bad. I'm going to give it a 3 stars but I would like to try it again with some more... more

The Only Good Sushi in Newmarket

Very nice space matched with very well-intending if a little inexperienced service staff. Solid Western sushi menu (ie focused on rolls and not Edomae style sushi) which is consistently well-executed. It isn't Tojo's but is great for the price
