Review Ichiban Japanese Cuisine - Warrnambool

Yummy food! Always fast, efficient service. No weird flavours in their sushi handrolls. Warm food on offer, too. Good for eat in or take away. Seem to have a good selection of different foods at any time of the day.

Purchased fried chicken, crispy chicken hand rolls and salmon hand rolls, all the meat was off, and tasted foul.

Such a wonderful surprise to find high quality authentic Japanese food on our road trip We had mixed roll plate, miso eggplant, agedashi tofu, green tea tempura ice cream and the best of all the soup called Dobinmushi! Very strong umami flavour. I would return to Warnambool for this place

I think $200 for one banquet for 2 people is extremely exorbitant

I work in the Gateway Plaza and I come to Ichiban every day for my lunch. The food is lovely and well presented, the Lemon Tea is delicious and is a nice treat! The lady who serves me each time is very kind and professional. She has a very uplifting personality and my interactions with her make my day very positive. Thank you so much for the great service. 🌺

Too expensive . One sashimi pack , 9 small pieces $15....ridiculous !!! Pathetic . However the customer service was friendly .

Absolutely love this shop. The service is friendly, fast and efficient. The food is delicious fresh and consistent. Never fails. Will leave a satisfied smile on your face. 😊

Amazing Tonkotsu ramen. Freshly made and extra tasty, loved the lemon iced tea as well. So glad there is finally a real Japanese restaurant in Warrnambool! Highly recommend

Just ordered from Ichiban not too long ago. Always great customer service, and even got two free sushi rolls with my online order. Love the fact that Ichiban offers online orders and delivery, as not enough places do that. I haven't had a bad experience yet, and I order from here quite often. Both the delivery staff and front of house are some of the most polite people that I've met from Warrnambool restaurants. The fact that the staff think of the little things like remembering to ask you if you enjoyed an order that you placed several days before, even when it was the first time that you had ever visited them and other little things like that really makes a difference in customer satisfaction and the likelihood of repeat business. Hopefully I remember to get the lemon tea next time that I go in person, because I've been wanting to try it and keep forgetting to order it!

Have tried a few products. All have been amazing! A shop of choice for lunch!

Great friendly staff. Always happy to make up different combination rolls for me. Delicious and fresh

I tried the sushi rolls on Sunday. Customer service was fantastic and food was fresh and delicious. I'll be back!

Sushi was fresh and delicious. My favourite was the Cereal Chicken from the hot food area. Staff where very nice!

Great service and food is always yummy. Always my weekend lunch spot

Absolutely loved the sushi and veggie pancakes will definitely be going back!

My score 2 stars.  We lived near Warrnambool for 9 months over last spring/summer/autumn & had a light lunch here once while shopping at Gateway Plaza - it was tucked away at the rear of a small food court.  We were the only people to order from them while we were there & perhaps the locals were more in the know than us (the bakery next door was doing ok sit-down trade).  From what I glean from other reviews we should have just gone for the sushi, which is meant to be ok.  Instead J & I shared a Japanese omelette with fried rice.  We also had a very good chilled tea drink, which was really cheap if bought as part of the meal.  Service was ok, but the bowl & cutlery supplied were flimsy white plastic, which diminished the experience (no sign of melamine bento boxes as pictured above).  The food did take a little while to come out, so at least it wasn't out of a bain-marie.  However, the omelette was bland & the fried rice was poor - not much other than rice & a few token vegetables that were quite dessicated (memories of takeway from the 70's - yes I'm that old).  On top of this it wasn't even that cheap (apart from the drink - bargain)!

Ichiban is meh. Good sushi, but onion in sushi is really gross, never do that! Great cereal chicken though. Very friendly staff though and quick service

There are many Sushi places with a similar takeaway format in warrnambool and surrounding area, but only this one has a permanent queue of customers outside. We has several takeaways from here and all were excellent, and a fraction of the price that i would pay in London. I highly recommend this restaurant

Ordered beef teriyaki and the fried chicken and rice meals and we both felt sick afterwards. Dry beef and undercooked chicken. An overpriced stomachache!

These guys do the best home delivered Japanese food. (Warrnambool store) So yummy without the greasy after taste. Great choice of dinner meals!! Looking forward to our second delivery tonight and would highly recommend to friends. Thank you :-)
