I think we accidentally found Ichiban while we were waiting for our tires at the tire shop. Please don't be turned away by the fact it's in a strip mall!
Ichiban has some classic rolls and some inventive sushi presentations. The non-sushi menu has a lot of great items too. Both menus have lots of vegetarian selections, and they even have a selection called "cooked sushi" for the less adventurous or immune-deficient customer. I have never tried something that I didn't like.
The service varies; sometimes it is exceptional, sometimes it is a little slow. I recommend sitting at the bar to watch the master do his work.
The restaurant is clean; I've never used the restrooms.
The ambience is nice... though I wish they'd remove the television. During our last visit, our party was large enough to warrant on of the special rooms for six or more. The television was out of sight and the atmosphere was very fun and private.
The sushi competes with much more expensive restaurants for flavor and presentation. The price? At least 30% less than other Indianapolis sushi spots. Thank goodness a great restaurant can be found on the South side!
