Ichiban Japanese Restaurant

Absolutely loved it and it was a great new experience for my partner's birthday.

Great food great service we had a great time Thankyou!

Took Korean engineers for business dinner. Ichiban organised a Korean speaking teppanyaki chef. Excellent result!

Very professional experience with friendly and experienced staff, food was excellent.

Great chef, amazing food, fun experience. Can’t wait to return

one of the best in Melbourne. Staffs are so nice!!

Took over an hour to get our order taken and hard to get a drink

Great food.... nice and friendly service specially from the chef.

Our chef was great! Definelty come here again with a bigger group though. Well worth the money. My first Tepanyaki restaurant and I was not dissapointed.

You walk in the door expecting a lot but unfortunately it fails to deliver. The food and the chef cooking it in front of you are fantastic however the rest is a let down. The service was horrendous we had to ask for drinks multiple times before them arriving and the wait staff appeared to have no idea what was happening. The beer was warm and while the food was amazing was overall quite expensive for what you got in terms of service.

Great experience and food. Chef was funny too. Will come back soon

David was incredible!! He absolutely made mums birthday. Had us in stitches the whole time. And the food? Oh my lord. Incredible. Cant thank everyone there enough for making mums night. She hasn't stopped raving how it was her best birthday ever. Really feel it was David's hospitality and his amazing food. I cant thank you enough. Cant wait to go back!

My partner had a large quantity of soup accidentally spilt on her clothing by the waitress. Some form of compensation could have been offered such as one free drink but no, we were asked to pay in full. Also, green tea was not served which was listed in the set menu we ordered.

Good condition kind service and help our to complete kid birthday ...

Food was great. Missed a little of the fun that I come to expect from Teppanyaki. Some paper bibs would have been nice too.

Went for my wife birthday with our kids, we had great time. Very pleasant atmosphere.

Went with 2 others for the Teppenyaki. Food great, service very good. Would definitely go back.

Staff are friendly and food are ok, will be back

Had to wait an hour before we could eat. Service was pretty ok but food was good. Shame about the wait times

The staff were friendly and helpful; the food was tasty and the chef talented. Also, that Lychee Cider is delicious!

Lovely food and highly entertaining! Recommend to others to visit

What fun, great entertainment and amazing food. Best idea for a great meal out !!

Food was beautiful, staff were very friendly and great service.

It was pleasant and enjoyed the food and service. However it is overly expensive.

Fantastic Teppanyaki and comedy show put on by 'David'. Great chef and very entertaining. Yummy food

it was pricey($180 for 2) for what we ordered and the environment was quite noisy as you had to share table with other people, there were a few young kids were crying and loud when we were eating. The decor in this restaurant was old and i felt weird it played Chinese music at the background in a Japanese restaurant.

Absolutely loved Ichiban Teppanyaki. The chef, Leo, was great, especially when my children had a bit of a meltdown (They got a bit scared when they lit the plate on fire). The kids loved trying to catch the egg and bowls. We all loved the food. There wasn't one thing we didn't enjoy. I highly recommend a trip to this restaurant

It was a great experience and would recommend to friends

Left hungry. They tried to fill you up with fried rice at the end. We had to ask for the green tea which was supposed to be automatically served as part of the menu. Will not be going back.

the food was not too bad, but the service was very slow. our booking was for 8pm and we were served closed to 930 with the teppanyaki . the chef had little personality and would not return

Delicious food, friendly staff and the meal was a fun experience! Perfect way to celebrate a special occasion.

Great food, so fresh. Restaurant very clean. Staff so friendly. Excellent service. Will visit again . Thankyou.

The food was really good and chef was entertaining, however once our meal was over it felt like we were forgotten about because we were moved into another area to make room for another booking. They brought out our ice cream like on the menu but did not take the coffee/tea order once we were seated in the other area. Either they were understaffed that night or they were busier than usual for a Sunday, either way it was a little concerning that we had to go and get someone to make the order that proceeded to ask what everyone wanted before coming to the table.

Amazing service and the chefs really go the extra mile not just in quality but in presentation and demonstration!

Great night out we will definitely be back . .

Great night. Funny chef. Relaxed atmosphere. Thank you. Lots of fun

Aweful!!!!dated,tired,smelly venue!!ruined my 12 year old’s birthday celebration.apalling hygiene with dirty towels used to clean hotplate.food trolley was dirty with drips and marks from previous cooking,sauce containers dirty.the only good thing was friendly waiter.
