The Ichiban Sushi & Noodle Bar Japanese Restaurant
My all time favourite restaurant in Cardiff.Family run, with a wonderful warm welcome and atmosphere.The food is superb and I recommend the Sashimi, Chirashi don, Tako Su and the various Teishoku.Over the 15+ years that we have been visiting Ichiban, the staff have become good friends.Visited on Saturday for my birthday and I had Happy Birthday sang to me for nearly every course - Hugely embarrassing and really appreciated!The current venue is closing on the 10th of Sep and I’m going to really miss it. Hopefully a new venue will be opening very soon, as it’s easily the best of its kind in Cardiff.

We had such a lovely time at Ichiban. The staff were so friendly and welcoming. The menu is extensive and has so many different options such as jellyfish, sea urchin and eel. We ordered some sushi, crab fried rice, edamame, octopus balls and teriyaki chicken with 2 pints of beer. This was more than enough food for 2 and cost £50 all together.

The best restaurant in Cardiff.We've been going for years and the food is consistently of an excellent standard.I've taken a few friends who have lived in Japan and they have all said it's the closest thing they have had to being back there.Amazing Sashimi, Sushi and Tempura.The staff are delightful and always make us feel very welcome.Takeaway meals are superb too.I'd eat all my meals there if I could afford it!

We just exited from dining here. If we could give negative stars we would. The ramen was just a water broth - zero flavor. The maki rolls fell apart no flavor again. Terrible wait staff. No creativity, authenticity or flavor. Just awful food and ambience. Suffice to say will never dine here or order anything from here.again.

This is my favorite restaurant!Best sushi I ever had! And yes fair enough I never been to Japan, but I had sushi in many many places around UK and Europe and even Dubai, but nothing compares to Ichiban in Cardiff! I come at least once or 2wice a month and I am not a type of person who regularly come to any places. I like trying new things, new restaurants every time, but I just can't stay away from Ichiban.I'll give you tip for perfect order: set meal 101, one portion of inari nigiri and one portion of tobiko nigiri. You'll leave full and satisfied as well with a portion size as variety of the meal.However if you're not a fan of those things, they offer wide selection of sushi and other japanese dishes so everyone will find something for themselves. Texture of rice and slices of fish are rich and perfectly balanced.There's a slight issue with heating in winter, so it can get quite cold, but I assure you it's worth it.

We visited here on a Thursday evening.Firstly, the staff were very friendly, even though we hadn't booked they still managed to give us a table with no wait time involved. The staff were helpful and understanding when it came to us butchering some of the pronunciation of the dishes (lol).We ordered sushi, a hot pot and a teishoku (which kinda resembled a bento box from tenkaichi).The dishes were very well presented and tasted fantastic. They serve Japanese drinks also.It's not overly pricey here and the menu even offers recommendations on what to order if you're new or in a group..This will definitely be our most preferred place to get sushi. And we recommend you visit here too!

Okay. This is probably the most authentic Japanese restaurant in Cardiff. One of my Japanese teachers, born and brought up in Osaka, even comes here and says this is the closest you can get to homemade Japanese food. The prices are decent and they serve really good alcohol. I definitely will be returning.

Sadly I’m at mcdonalds after trying to eat here. Ordered sashimi deluxe, waited a good 20 minutes past my wife’s food being delivered.What was then brought to the table was the most disappointingly small and poorly cut sashimi I’ve seen.Asked them to rerun the order but gave up after waiting a further 30 minutes.Of course they still charged us full price (£50!!) even though we didn’t get to have a meal.This should be a hard avoid for everyone just so you don’t get disappointed too.

Probably my favourite place for sushi in Cardiff, and I consider myself somewhat experienced including multiple trips to Japan. Sushi is my favourite food and I always come here for my birthday.Only lost a star as it was really cold last time had to keep my coat on!
