Wonderful service! Very attentive and warm! Mango roll was great and so was the yam avo roll. Minor note that the spicy chicken was delicious but not spicy, more of a sweet chili type flavour, still delicious though!

I ordered two dynamite rolls. It was not at all of good quality. And there was a hair as well. Very dissappointed. I would never recommend this place.

This unique sushi place on Fitzgerald in Courtenay makes the best sushi around. Red dragon and the yam, prawn avocado rolls were freshly made, perfectly rolled. Portions are very generous. Vegetable tempura is on point - crisp and delicious. A delicious meal!

Ichiban is consistently 25% more expensive than other sushi restaurants in the area. $9.95 for a dynamite roll, $12.50 for a spicy tuna roll, $7.25 (!!!) for a tekka maki. 6pc prawn tempura is $17.95. All that would be fine if we’re talking some fantastic sushi but it’s at best the same quality as other spots, and at worst a little below average. Go to Kobo, Jo, Wara, Seh-mi before you overspend for standard sushi. No hate just the reason I will never order here again

Ichiban is a cute restaurant that is set up well and the staff is very friendly however their sushi needs improvement.
I have ordered twice, once via take out and most recently dine-in. I only order basic maki and uramaki rolls and both times my rolls have had a significant fishy taste/smell to them which indicates to me there is an issue with the ingredients or the preparation.
