Ichiban Sushi

I have ordered here in the past and loved but tonight I got take away and I am not happy. After I got home I realised that the portions I was given for hand rolls and nigiri and aburi were ridiculous! The hand rolls were half filled, and the other 2 options I paid for were half the size of what they should be and what they had previously served. So I basically paid for 2 and received 1! I work in hospitality and I don’t like being ripped off.

I am happy to give 10 out of 10. Best sushi I ever had in Brisbane. All fish and chicken are fresh. Well presented make me want to try all menu and their train always full with various menu. Staff is friendly too. This place is clean too. Will become our favourite place to eat sushi. Oh and every wednesday all sushi only $3. Oh my God 😱😱 really great value.

Ichiban sushi is a 4/5 restaurant that has a good and fast service, excellent ambiance but it’s food sometimes lets it down. Although their special rolls and sushi rolls are delicious and well prepared, some other menu items are not prepared to the standard of a restaurant that has so many 5/5 star reviews. For example the Beef Tataki salad, what a disappointing and expensive dish with no flavor, over cooked beef and pathetic greens. A 0/5 for this dish in all its levels. The chicken Yakisoba, unfortunately a 1/5 for me. Although the portion size is acceptable the flavor lacks the punch of a typical yakisoba. The chicken was inexistent and the few pieces that were there were tasteless. Overall this restaurant could be one of the best sushi restaurants in Brisbane, but for that to happen their food quality and consistency needs to be improved.

The food is always good here. But I’m sad to say this place has dropped in customer service. When you walk in the door they jump on you to show your vaccination status but the QR code is inside behind the door so every time I have to ask them nicely if I could please have a second to scan in. I have nicely suggested that it might be easier to pop it on the door so customers can scan in before coming in and I was told no people can’t find it there. Recently we came here and they wouldn’t accept that my friends son was under 16 even when we showed them his school info. The lady demanded his date of birth because the year he is in is not proof he is under 16.. the kid in question is in year 9. Now the conversation could have gone differently but she was unrelenting and demanded proof of date of birth. When we tried to talk about it and find out more information as she said it was stated on the government website and it was the law. Because we don’t want to have this problem again and wanted to make sure we abide by the law we asked for her to share the page with us and she refused. At the end of it she back tracked and told us her it’s actually just their store policy and that’s final and their friend is a lawyer and they can make whatever policy they want. I’m really disappointed in the attitude.
