Really love the restaurant setting here, also their sushi (their yellowtail collar) is a treat! Parking is decent. Love their deep fried ice cream also! Would love to try out their other dishes.

Their sushi selection is pretty delicious and fresh. Their salmon teriyaki bento is pretty good for a dinner meal. Looking forward to trying out other meal combinations for the next visit. Their staffs are pretty nice.

This is one of my favorite sushi restaurants. Great selection of sushi AND cooked Japanese food for those who don't like raw seafood, decent prices and awesome food. They can get super crowded for dinner and don't take reservations so go early. Easy parking. Try the tempura ice cream!

By far the BEST SUSHI I have ever had!

The service, well the specifically the sushi chefs is wonderful. I enjoy sitting at the bar more so than the booths or tables. The wait staff often time forget to provide service. I'm not sure if there is more training needed or plain under staffed on a busy weekend.



Food is average. I usually stick with the rolls. I do recommend the spicy tuna for only $3.50.

The waiter told me that it will be 40 to 45 minutes waiting for a table. 45 minutes later I asked him. He said I have to wait. 1 hour and 20 mins passed, I asked him again and he said he never told me to wait 45 mins and that he said APPROXIMATELY 45 mins with an attitude as if I was bothering him. After that, we walked out and never looked back to this place. I used to love going here for dinner but after these bad services, I stopped going there. I agreed with EdMathis, the host and the front waiter could really use some customer service training and attitude.

Never go there when you have a party of 8 or more because they will make you wait for hours and they didn't care if you leave or wait. We waited over 2 hours before we got a table. The host is the female in black suite and the male waiter in redish orange shirt gave us attitude for questioning them why we had to wait for 2 hrs. I will not going back there again nor will I recommend anyone for this bad attitude service place. Very unprofessional. These people need some customer service training big time.

I found a strand of hair inside my spider roll and it just killed my appetite. The host and waiters are very unprofessional and didn't care. Never go back there again.

The first thing you're likely to notice is the friendly, clean, and pleasant atmosphere. Sure, you can find more upscale decor, more trendy or stylish interior design, but a restaurant that can cater to family, business associates, and daters with equal comfort and efficiency is not an easy balance to strike -- and Ichima has succeeded here!



There are four fairly large color screens in each top corner about the restaurant to add a sporty and sometimes entertainment programming vibe -- from PGA golf to American Idol to 80's pop music -- and, despite the screens, the acoustics of the interior are good enough to carry on an intimate conversation at your table without too much distraction.



Now the food! The sushi is simply some of the freshest and best prepared I've ever had -- and I've sampled a few! All the more reason to check out their sushi dishes, from traditional to modern and customized -- with the elegance of preparation and surprisingly quick service time. And their alternate menu of tempura dishes, from beef, pork, chicken, and an assortment of vegetables, is just as reliable in taste satisfaction. The service service staff is very friendly and prompt.



The sushi bar itself is lined with charming and comic drawings and the odd photograph of regular and infrequent patrons from past and present, adding to the sense of this good-natured neighborhood place to enjoy and feel a part of.



Specials -- from the exotic to the seasonal -- are posted daily, and the chefs are always eager to have you sample before you commit to full portions.



Ichima is located in a fairly upscale strip mall with bowling, multiplex cinema, shopping center, and nearby are Chuck E. Cheese for the kids, Sears, Whole Foods market, and many other consumer retail amenities. Good location -- good sushi!
