    don't waste your money or your time

    Posted by killer crossover on 10/09/2009

    I do not write the following to slander or calumniate, simply to discourage you from going there as I wish I had been discourage before I patronized it: Truly the worst sushi that I've eaten anywhere. In Milwaukee I have dined at Izumi, Fujiyama, Nana Kusa and Kiku. The rolls and the tempura at Ichiban were chintzy, overpriced and poorly prepared and presented. The product with which they worked was mediocre to put it nicely. The sashimi was horrible. The salmon (what they called toro sake) appeared almost as if it had been shredded. Perhaps if the price was cut in half and it was served in a deli in midtown Manhattan for lunch this would have been acceptable. It left us feeling ripped off and dissatisfied. I've never been so disappointed by a trip to a sushi restaurant anytime or anywhere.

    There's better Japanese food closeby

    Posted by trewjm on 07/21/2007

    I've lived in Japan for many years, and although I'm not a Japanese food snob I do have standards. This place does not meet them. The staff must be new because they screwed up at least two other tables' orders while I was there. The head staff woman must also be new because she was also confused (and they tried to solve their various problems in front of the customers near the bar instead of going in the back....). The sushi chef's didn't seem like they knew what they were doing (none of them Japanese either...you should have at least one) and kept looking at the directions written on the wall next to them....the food was only soso...maybe this place is under new management or something. Visit Izumi's nearby on North Prospect.

    Top 3 sushi in Milwaukee

    Posted by ttjjames on 02/05/2007

    This place is in the top 3 best sushi restaurants in Milwaukee. The place is pretty small (main seating area seats ~ 30 total, I think they have a party room in back, not sure). The servers are average, but the food is great and the sushi chefs are very friendly and fun. The quality of food is high and the prices are reasonable for traditional sushi.
