Ichiban

About the Business

Specialties

'Ichiban' translates to 'number one' in Japanese, and with our unique selection of bento boxes, bulgogi, and specialty sushi rolls, you could say our restaurant is aptly named. Blending a delicious fusion of both Japanese and Korean cuisines, we implore you to wander a bit off the beaten path with your palate. Before every memorable dining experience though, you'll be greeted by our beautiful and calming Koi pond. Want a full authentic experience? Then you definitely need to order some hot sake or a Sapporo with your meal. Whatever dish you choose, we invite you to enjoy Austin's original Tatami-style dining experience. Carry out and delivery available!
