Asian cuisine is a favorite of the Dining Duo and Ichiban Japanese Grill serves the best of Japanese choices we have found. Located at 6737 Clinton Highway, the quaint restaurant is in the side of a Walmart parking lot, tucked between a vitamin store and mobile phone store, very easily missed, which would be a big mistake for foodies.
The menu is expansive, offering everything from a comprehensive list of sushi rolls to hibachi or teriyaki created meals and everything considered ‘Asian cooking’ in between. The menu is available on their website: here.
We chose seaweed salad and crab rangoon for appetizers. Both were the best we have eaten, and we have tried both anywhere offered. For the meal, one of us had hibachi shrimp and one had the sushi and sashimi combo. These entrees, too, were excellent and more than enough for a meal. In fact, the hibachi shrimp meal provided enough for lunch the following day.
Some dishes never look like the representative pictures, but ours matched perfectly.
Ichiban Japanese Grill is open six days a week, closing on Monday. Hours on Sundays and Tuesday- Thursday are 11 a.m.- 9:30 p.m. with Friday and Saturday hours extended to 10 p.m.
The Dining Duo is looking for the “hidden gem eateries “where the locals fill the breakfast and lunch hour; those local haunts tucked into the out of way or right on the way places missed in the hustle and bustle of the day. Email us your recommendations.
