Izakaya Ichiban - Chico

"The best Japanese food in Chico! The sushi is fresh, and the sashimi is outstanding, with generous portions. The salad and miso soup are excellent as well. The owners are wonderful, and the service is amazing. This is my favorite place to eat!"

I really enjoy this restaurant, especially for their Japanese crab tacos. I usually order four as my main course, even though they are listed as appetizers—I could easily eat six! I also appreciate their bento box. I often observe what other diners are having, and everything is always presented so beautifully.

I've dined at this restaurant several times and tried the Dragon Roll, Chico Roll, and tempura shrimp roll. All of them were delicious and beautifully presented. The staff was prompt and friendly. I would definitely recommend this place!

Run by the same people as Big Tuna, similarly excellent quality of food, atmosphere, and service. Great sushi, I am always comfortable ordering omakase. Their starter menu has a number of excellent and interesting dishes, and they have creative specials as well. Their accommodations are nice. They'd have an excellent outside area if it weren't for very uncomfortable patio furniture.

I don't understand why people are complaining about service? We have always had amazing service there and they work as a team so a lot of times you'll get two or three waiters throughout your service. The is sushi always taste amazing and is always on point. Presentation is beautiful and their menu selection is awesome. If you ever are with a friend or family member who doesn't eat fish, the vegetarian chef's selection is always amazing no matter what they choose and the sushi tacos crab or tuna are both really really good. They were also amazingly accommodating to our large group and the children who did not want to sit still. We can't say enough great things!
