We honestly thought they were closed because of how long g it’s been for a review. They are still open and the only sushi game in town. I ordered the sushi for 4 and it was wonderful. The rangoons were a bit small compared to normal but I’ll get over it.

The primary reason this rating is so low is because the atmosphere is completely wrong for a sushi place. There is no music, the decorations are japanese but that’s literally it. They have salt and pepper on the table. You start with a fork. We had to ask for soy sauce saucers. The amount of wasabi and ginger was much less compared to all of the other sushi places we have been to. They gave us fortune cookies at the end. The atmosphere is closer to a takeout diner that suddenly serves japanese food. The menu wasn’t bad. The fish selection wasn’t large, and 90% of all the rolls have cream cheese. The rolls themselves were okay. The tiger and the baked salmon rolls were great. The Marry roll, Alaska, and spicy salmon with crunchy rolls had very little flavor. The house salad dressing wasn’t bad at all; I just wish they had more variety in vegetables. The service was okay. Our waitress was very smiley, but was quiet and was not very engaging. She literally did her JOB. There’s nothing wrong with it, but having customer interaction really adds value to the customer experience. I doubt we would ever actively seek to go to this place again; if we were in the area and feeling very lazy, we would go here. The price isn’t bad for what you get.

For what I ordered, the price was excellent, the sushi was tasty and the fried rice was basic. Nothing fancy about Ichiban, which means ‘number 1’ in Japanese, how presumptuous. Ichiban isn’t a must visit, but if you’re in the area and you’re craving sushi, I would give them a try. First review of the new year, 明けましておめでとうございます

Food is always great. But they put my Francher roll mixed in with my other roles, and they have ranch on them. I’d recommend keeping roles separate. Otherwise would have 5 stars. Not the first time this has happened, and I’ve asked about it before, so that’s why I’m giving 3 stars. Like I said food is always delicious.

Amazing Sushi! Some of the best food in Freeport area.Servers are always friendly & prompt. Don’t fall for the bogus review given – I’ve NEVER waited 40 minutes for food or asked 4 times for water here. This place rocks and holds a strong comparison to other great sushi establishments I’ve visited around the world Highly recommend! Try the green devil roll.: )

Still no inside sitting after 3 years! Take out only . Sushi is basic with both raw and cooked. A little better options with cooked sushi. Decent food.

Got food poisoning here. I know that can happen with raw sushi, but makes me question how fresh anything is here.

This place is just a really nice surprise for Freeport. I’ve been coming here frequently for years now, and it’s just always really good. Prices are fair, fish is always really fresh. I eat sushi all around the area, Madison, and Rockford, and this place rivals anywhere in either of those places. I honestly think it’s better, but just has a smaller selection of items.

Just had the sushi lunch special. I was kinda of hesitant because the prices where insanely good. It was so good, the spicy grab roll was fantastic. I only got one tray, I want to go back right now for more. Definitely going to be a frequent spot for me to eat.
