Description

Ichi Sushi is a petite, contemporary sushi house that balances a sleek, minimalist decor with an extensive Japanese menu. Beyond the expected sushi and sashimi, it covers appetizers from both the sushi bar and kitchen, special rolls, dinner bento boxes, noodles, and teriyaki dishes, offering a broad tasting of Japanese cuisine. A regular's perspective highlights consistent quality, reasonable prices, and quick service, with the same couple often working the floor—likely a family-run spot. The staff may seem direct at first but are genuinely kind, and the place stays clean while accommodating solo diners and larger groups alike. Reviews note generously sized oysters and nicely presented, filling dishes. Takeout orders receive attentive service and fresh rolls with balanced rice-to-fish ratios; the salmon teriyaki also earns praise. One minor caution: the aged chicken dish might not meet expectations, and card payments include a surcharge.
