Ichiban - Santa Barbara

Yet another perfect dinner. Our 3rd time at this delightful little "bigger on the inside "joint right in the heart of the Mesa! After confirming with the management that safe, gluten free options were available, Remember to do this every time you go to any restaurant even if they 've accommodated you before! I had the Chirachi Sashimi Special with gluten free miso soup. My partner had Chicken Donburi and declared it excellent. We shared a wonderful roll that I 'm embarrassed to report I can 't recall the name of but it was tangy, slightly spicy and tasty!

Great food, great service. When we arrived the restaurant was full. Two tables left. Our waiter arrived immediately and took our drinks. We all enjoyed and loved our orders. Have nothing negative to say.

Delicious fresh sushi. Good salmon skin salad. The service is wonderful server was so nice. They automatically gave us Kids chopsticks for the young person that was eating with us. A wonderful touch. I will be back!!

Great local sushi restaurant serving up classic Japanese fare in casual environs. Went for lunch and ordered the special of the day. In a word... DELICIOUS. Fresh sushi roll, light and crispy tempura shrimp, bright and flavorful ginger sesame dressing on the salad, excellent miso soup.

Got a coupon from groupon so wasnt sure what to expect. Reviews are all over the place. I was pleasently suprised. Its a small place we had resevations but sat at the sushi bar with our kids, 5 and 11 chef was very friendly and awesome with our kids. Food was really good everything was fresh and came out fast, wasnt very busy. Service was good and friendly, waters stayed filled and dishes taken away quickly. Was a little pricey but if you want good sushi you have to pay a little more. I live about a hour away and i will be back.
