"It really was all right. We ordered sushi, some appetizers and another plate that, we asked the server if that plate came fried, she said yes, but at the end she just brought us noddles with beef."

- Brenda R.

"Excellent dinner and considers almost all dietary restrictions."

- Morgan F.

"Me and my finance was told to try this place out around early 2023. So we did and we can not stop coming back. I have never been big into sushi or this kind of food until I tried this place. Nobody does it as good as ichiban in Summersville. Me and my finance are always skeptical about new food but we try something new off of the menu every time we come here because it's always Good! We have our favorites but this place will not disappoint you. I personally would recommend the West Virginia roll and the east meets west roll. Both are cooked rolls and absolutely delicious."

- Garland H.

"This was a good restaurant entirely but the only thing I did not like was the fried rice. It tasted a little too greasy but the rest was good."

- Tony-S D.
