Ichiban Sushi Teppanyaki Japanese Restaurant & Take Away

A hidden gem in Newtownards! The food here is the best and most authentic I’ve tasted outside of Japan! Generous portions, all fresh and delicious, and the sushi is amazing! The staff are friendly too, and the teppanyaki grill is entertaining.

We visited last night and honestly it was the best dining experience we’ve ever had. Chef was really fun, cooked food in front of us and put on a super fun show. The food itself was stunning. The waitress was lovely too. We will be back many times!

First time ordering a takeaway from here, they were quick to have my order ready. When I arrived to collect it wasn't quite ready yet but I paid and was able to use their toilet. The restaurant was quiet, I think only 2 people in at the time so not much atmosphere. The food however was great, they didn't have cutlery just chop sticks but I was actually able to eat it all (even the rice) with them. I thought it was good value for money and I'd go back. Staff were friendly too.

Definitely come back and spend more time to enjoy the delicious food. We were a bit hurry and didn’t get enough time to eat today because had another appointment. Thanks for the free prawn crackers.

Had a lovely midweek meal here. The set menu is great value and we loved having the chef put on such a great show. Food was fantastic and we even had enough left overs for the following evening. The staff made us feel so welcome. Highly recommend.

Terrible experience on our first ever attempt of take away from this place. We have ordered through just eat. Food didn’t arrived until 2h after order was placed!!! Food was cold and soggy , plus one dish missing! We’ve spent over £50 and everything went to the bin! Requested refund so let’s hope it will arrive!

First time here and loved it. Sat at the grill watching the chef doing his magic! Amazing food, the restaurant have a great vibe and all staff were very friendly, the only "let down" was a bit slow service taking into consideration that there wasn't many people in. Though still would happily go back!

Gutted I've had to edit my review from the last time (it won't let me post another). I gave it 5 stars a year ago but it's gone rock bottom. 7 of us went for lunch/dinner Saturday afternoon (3 were small kids) there was no one else in the place it was empty bar 3 staff. We ordered sushi first (4 small portions), all fine but an hour later we still had not got any drinks and no cutlery. When our sushi came it was really good but we had to eat with our hands and we still had no drinks. About an extra 30mins later I had to ask someone could we please have cutlery and drinks. It took nearly an hour and 45 mins for the chef to start cooking our teppanyaki, I cant even say it was overly nice. Good quality ingredients but it just didn't taste amazing after we were all nearly done with our dinner then the veg were cooked and we held out our plates for heated beansprouts. All in all we were there for 3+ hours, the kids were bored and knackered. The bill was £250! It was honestly not worth that money at all and we won't be back ever again. If the food was amazing then yea of course I expect to pay a higher fee for great food but it just wasn't and the service was appalling.
