Ichiban Sterling Heights exceeded my expectations in every way! I was looking for a restaurant that felt upscale yet kid-friendly to celebrate my 30th birthday, and this was the perfect spot.
From the start, Alex, the manager, went above and beyond to accommodate all of my requests. He kept in touch leading up to the event, ensuring everything was seamless, and even checked in on the day of to make sure my celebration went smoothly.
During my dinner, I was lucky to have Allison and Dustin V. as my servers, and they were nothing short of exceptional! They managed multiple drink orders, delivered soup and salad expediently, and handled seven different tabs with ease—all while making sure the spotlight stayed on me for my special day. Their service was graceful, attentive, and truly elevated the experience.
If you’re looking for a fantastic dining experience or planning a celebration, I highly recommend Ichiban Sterling Heights. The atmosphere, service, and attention to detail made my milestone birthday unforgettable!

Hibachi meal where they cook at your table! So much fun! Such good food! I ordered a sushi roll too and that was so good!
It was my sister’s birthday and another person at our table. They brought out a great dessert with a sparkler in it and we all sung happy birthday! Yummy, fun and nice for them to get a free dessert!

I visited Ichiban Japanese Bistro, located at 44955 Hayes Rd, Sterling Heights, MI, expecting a nice meal on Valentine’s Day. Unfortunately, what I got was far from acceptable. When my food arrived, I was horrified to find a piece of hair in my meal. It completely ruined the experience, and I couldn’t believe that something like this would happen at a restaurant.
When I brought this issue to the manager, instead of offering a genuine apology or trying to resolve the situation, I was offered a gift card for Ichiban to return and “enjoy a meal.” Seriously? A gift card to the very place that had just served me food with hair in it? That’s not an acceptable solution. The manager tried to assure me that all employees wear hair nets, but clearly, that’s not enough to prevent such a disgusting oversight.
At that point, I was fed up. I didn’t want a gift card
to return to a place that had proven to be careless with their food safety. I wanted an honest resolution and, at the very least, a refund for the awful experience. It’s hard to trust a restaurant after something like that, especially when they don’t seem to take responsibility for their mistakes. Definitely not coming back to Ichiban anytime soon.

Solid sushi restaurant with good food and service. It was very busy when we got there but we were seated after having a drink by the bar. Waiter was helpful and knowledgeable about the menu. The was good overall and would come back here again.

AMAZING. Went here for my anniversary and I was so happy with everything about our dinner. Food was amazing, service was OUTSTANDING (Cole was our server. His so so so nice and funny!! He was extremely quick to get everything we need and checked on us often. Best server I’ve ever had at any restaurant! We need more servers like him in the world!!).
