Word on the street
What locals are saying
Ichiban has carved out a loyal following in West Ashley as one of the more accessible hibachi spots in the Charleston area — open seven days a week, priced below the downtown competition, and fronted by chefs whose tableside showmanship keeps birthday crowds coming back. The sushi earns real respect, with specialty rolls and sashimi flagged as fresher than the price point would suggest, though presentation can be uneven. The honest knock is inconsistency: the chef lottery at the teppanyaki table is real, with some nights delivering genuinely skilled cooking and others producing greasy, overcooked food at portion sizes that surprise on the small side.
