When walking along King Street, you’ll find plenty of places to eat. But there is a little door at 750 King St. West, that should not go unnoticed.
Behind this door, you will find a super cozy restaurant Ichiban Sushi House, specializing in Japanese cuisine.
From the moment you step inside, you will feel a welcoming atmosphere. Katie, the owner, will greet you as if you’re their favorite customer, even if it’s your first visit.
This hospitality makes you feel genuinely welcome.
Ichiban Sushi House has been in business for 21 years and offers a menu that celebrates the diverse range of Japanese cuisine, with fresh and colorful dishes.
From sushi rolls and udon to bento boxes, the menu has something for every taste—whether you’re dining by yourself at lunch or gathering with friends for happy hour.
Speaking of lunch, they offer specials starting at just $12.99, each served with a green salad and miso soup.
The choice of the day was the Chirashi Sushi—a $15.95 bowl filled with fresh, raw fish and seafood over sushi rice, also accompanied by a green salad and miso soup, which, by the way, is something special itself.
With generous cuts of four different types of fish, including salmon and red tuna, the combination of fresh ingredients and expert preparation made every bite a true delight.
And as the weather cools, their udon is a perfect choice. This dish is a warm bowl of thick white noodles in broth, with options to add vegetables ($11.95), chicken ($12.95), beef ($13.95), or seafood ($15.95). It is the ideal comfort food to add a bit of warmth to your fall and winter days.
Beyond the delicious, generously portioned dishes made by their Japanese chef, what truly sets Ichiban Sushi House apart is the exceptional service—from when you arrive to when you leave. The ambiance adds to the experience too; street noise is barely audible, soft music plays, and cozy sofas invite you to relax and enjoy your meal.
Knowing that the owner herself ensures every guest’s experience is special makes it even more meaningful, and dining there really feels like supporting a local family business.
