So I've always enjoyed eating at the Ichiban chain so I was pleasantly surprised to see that they were close in an area I was visiting. The Tampa location on Fowler was amazing! I got the Yaki Soba, I believe it was, and it was fantastic. A delightful mix of vegetables and thin noodles cooked to perfection in a savory sauce. So when I visited the St. Petersburg location several weeks later I was excited to have the same dish for lunch again. Well let me tell you, it was nowhere close to being as good. The noodles were a different noodle that was very overcooked and soggy (like overcooked Ramen yuck!) And there was egg thrown in which I did not expect or would have opted out. The shrimp seemed like it was cooked separately and thrown in last minute, and there were seeds sprinkled about in it. It was like I had a completely different dish and the only thing I ordered different was the shrimp instead of chicken. I tried eating it anyway because I was so hungry, but after a few bites I just couldn't do it. I will say that the staff was very friendly! They do Take-out only at this location in St. Pete so I didn't realize any of this until getting home. They were also being inspected at the time I walked in so I guess I will chalk it up to the chef being nervous. I attached 2 pics to show the difference in quality. The dish on the white plate in the second pic was from the Tampa location, which was much better.

Mostly eat the sushi here. Each time I grab two regular rolls and try a new specialty roll. They have all been great so far. I really enjoyed the two friends roll. Lucky this place is so close. Usually 45 minute wait on sushi orders so call before you are starving but worth the wait each time.

Been going here for a few weeks. Always order salmon avocado roll. Which is 5.75. The lunch special was 11 dollars last week. Which means I was saving a bit of money getting two of those rolls. Even though they won’t give you miso soup since they are still “take out only” for no reason. Today we get the same lunch special order and now suddenly it’s 12 dollars (so worse deal than regularly ordering the rolls) and now suddenly the regular sushi menu disappears entirely off their website. They now only have a menu for specialty rolls and you can’t order regular rolls at night apparently? They have clearly upped all their prices overnight without mentioning it and it’s a huge disappointment. Taking my business elsewhere.

I only had sushi & dumplings but omg it was SO good! I’ve had sushi from all types of places but this right here had to be the most flavorful & fresh tasting sushi I’ve ever had. And the dumplings were also scrumptious!

We ordered beef fried rice, Ichiban boneless duck in panang curry, chicken panang curry, spicy tuna and keywest sushi rolls. Food was delicious. Service was excellent. We will definitely be back.

This is our favorite restaurant in St Pete. Nice and friendly owners. I’m a big sushi fan, which I highly recommend. Curry and all else is good as well.

After driving all the way to this restaurant we discovered that they are still only offering take-out due to COVID, despite their profile claiming otherwise. We decided to try another place instead.

Unassuming Japanese restaurant located just outside of downtown St Pete. The sashimi dinner was huge and well priced! My yellow tail wasn't super fresh but everything else was!
