Ichiban Sushi House - Alexandria

A small, no-frills Japanese restaurant. My Salmon Teriyaki dinner $20.95) had two generous portions of salmon, cooked just the way I wanted, and included a cup of miso soup and a small salad.Food: 5/5

Loved how the place was decorated, loved the food. I got the unagidon it was literally just a big slab of eel over rice. It was INCREDIBLE.Food: 5/5

The food at this restaurant is delicious, but the overall experience is terrible. We witnessed two tables leave before us, but we stayed thinking it was just our hunger making us irritable. The restaurant has outdated menus and requires customers to use a poorly functioning mobile website in Old Town Alexandria. We constantly got kicked out of the app while trying to place our order, so eventually we just gave up and used one device to place the order.

Highly recommended. I would give it a perfect 10 if I could. My boyfriend and I visited this restaurant three times in one week. The sushi is delicious, fresh, and served quickly, with great prices. There is a parking garage just a two-minute walk away if you can't find street parking.

We visited this restaurant for a quick sake bomb, served in authentic style with the shot balanced on chopsticks and pounding on the table required. It felt like they tolerated our presence but were not necessarily happy about it. The spicy tuna roll was tasty, but there were too many old COVID signs still up, which affected the overall atmosphere. The food was great, but the atmosphere was lacking, so I would rate it 4 out of 5 stars.
