What People Are Saying About Ichiban

The Editor

Contributor

In Short – Wax models of Japanese dishes are on display in the window, preventing weary-eyed tourists from mistaking the place for the Garth Store. Unique for a restaurant in the heart of Tourist Town, Ichiban's dim, quiet atmosphere welcomes frustrated drivers and tired tourists. The personalized sushi menu, with more than 20 special rolls, lists the Nashville Roll, Second Avenue Roll and sushi pizza--crunchy shrimp, avocado, crab and smelt roe served mini-pizza-style atop a piece of seaweed.

The only one

by tsuzu at Citysearch

As a Japanese, I think this restaurant serves almost real Japanese food. I feel like I'm back in Japan when I eat there. If you want to try the authentic Japanese food, this is the place to go.

Didn't get to Eat!!!

by tbrandon at Citysearch

There was a spider in the light above my table so I didn't actually eat anything. I was grossed out. I will not be back.

Cons: Not very clean.

THE sushi no-brainer in Nashville

by xizor at Citysearch

Ichiban offers an array of fresh sushi with plent of sake to go aound. Most couples can split a combination dinner, which halves the ticket, and still eat plenty of food. I enjoy the soup, the wife enjoys the salad. We then share the bento box with two different entrees. The tempura is spectactular by the way. And of course we split the order of crunchy shrimp and combination nigiri. What value! Aside from the food, expect to walk since the restaurant is downtown. I also suggest asking to sit upstairs for better ambience, but I have noticed the quality of service deteriorates with this move. Bottom line: no sushi fan should miss this place if in Nashville.
