Ichiban

Glasgow is the second to the last stop on our 21 day grand tour of Scotland. After lots of various kinds of food, we were itching for some Japanese fare. Ichiban was exactly the right ticket! It was an easy half mile walk from where we are staying and even though it was nearly 9, when we walked home, we never felt unsafe. That said, there are some homeless folks in the area, but it was not a big deal to us. The restaurant is upstairs and is set out with long communal tables, but with separated benches for each group. There weren’t a lot of people when we arrived on a Monday night so seating was no issue. The wait staff was very pleasant and helpful. Everything in the restaurant was squeaky, clean and beautiful. The menu has quite a few choices as you will see in the pictures posted. Prices were very reasonable. We started with the vegetable tempura, which was cooked to perfection and served within just a few minutes. We followed up with two bowls of soup. My wife chose the Ichiban with Ramen noodles and broth. I selected the seafood with soba noodles and the kimchi broth. Both were excellent super flavorful and had an abundant amount of ingredients. Neither of us could finish our bowl. If you’re looking for outstanding Japanese food, this is a solid choice!

Really very nice place to visit love the food and service …..the staff is really good and friendly Vegetarian options: There are lots of options for vegetarian food .

This place is GREAT. Me and my friend went for lunch at the ground floor take away area and my first impression was that this place was clean. Once we were seated we ordered 2 twelve peice sushi platters, 1 six peice fried prawn sushi, 4 pieces of prawn tempura and 2 bottles of mogu mogu. For only £39.00. The staff are great and they brought me and my friends food in 10 minutes. Personally I think this place is great and would definitely come again and suggest to friends.

Great service, friendly staff, and great selection on menu.

Love Ichiban ❤️
