Arriving in Toronto without researching but knowing that my partner and I wanted sushi badly. We pulled out the yellow pages and found the Ichiban sushi advert and went for it. Myself being a dubious soul thought "why do they need a full page ad in the yellow pages? Is this a last ditch attempt to get people in?!" How wrong was i when we arrived and we welcomed to a warm and inviting interior with kind and friendly staff.

The food that we had was excellent quality. We regularly have sushi and this was some of the best. The fish was very fresh and all the ingedients were top notch.

I have to say that that red dragon roll was spectacular.

We had a lovely meal in a nice place with music at a suitable level.

We went back again two days later and it was just as good if not better!

Having just read the other reviews perhaps the place was having an off day when we visited...

The restaurant was fine, not atmosperic but that's difficult to pull off in a 10 year old premesis with drop ceilings. The decor and cleanliness were very good. Service was cheery and quick to begin with but dwindled somewhat after the food arrived and the bill was tough to get. We ordered a taster starter for three which came about 30 seconds before our meal was also brought out. Of course this just left us with a daunting amount of food on the table but also quickly cooling down hot mains. They should have really let us finish or at least have a good attempt on the starter before serving the main! One had melon salad which was nothing to speak of. One had lamb kebab which was good and one had the "special" 60 hour marinated steak. I don't think that the steak had seen 60 minutes of marinating if it had been marinated at all. It was also tough in sinious. We left having perhaps got through about 25% of the starter and having had a cold main course. I have to say that the humous was very nice.
