Ichiban - Edinburgh, City of

My partner and I went in without booking for a late dinner while visiting Edinburgh. The staff were happy to let us dine in. The food was wonderful we went for Sashimi, sushi and a rice dish. It was so tasty and we were blown away. I would go all the way back just to go again!! I cannot fault the restaurant 10/10!

I wish we had read reviews on Trip Advisor, before ordering online, indicating as if this restaurant sells Chinese food. 'Japanese ' curry did not resemble that of the traditional Japanese dish at all. I am not entirely sure but pork ribs tasted as if they had been microwaved rather than freshly prepared. Chicken vegetable dumplings were average yet gummy and not crispy, hence we doubt they were freshly made either. Perhaps other meals resemble Japanese cuisine more. We are accustomed to Asian cuisine and the meals, that we ordered, were, from our subjective viewpoint, not worth their price.

It was hot and filling but it had no taste and was very basic. We were unimpressed and would not recommend this place for a takeaway.

I have been coming back to ichiban for 3 years now. It’s a great Japanese fusion take out, with so much to choose on the menu. The Japanese fried rice is without a doubt the best rice I’ve had. If you want a bigger and more exciting selection than a Chinese takeaway then order here

This is without a doubt the worst Chinese food I have ever eaten. Just the thought of how bad it was makes me feel sick. I ended up throwing it back in the tray and straight into the bin. It cost me £15, which was the worst £15 I have ever spent. Absolutely shocking. I cannot comprehend how a place serving such bad food can stay in business. The food was truly awful.
