Ichiro Hibachi & Sushi

I had an okay experience at this spot. The food was good, can’t complain, but it was hard to enjoy due to how cold it was in the restaurant. The temperature outside was 1 degree and felt like -13 with high winds. It was already freezing, and I went inside hoping it would be warm. I was wrong. There was no heat whatsoever in the dining area. I was literally shivering the entire time. I also let the waitress know, and she just stared at me and didn’t say anything. Even the hibachi area in the back was freezing cold; the only source of heat was the hibachi grill itself. The restaurant is located in a well-known area in West Hartford, so I was surprised by the cheapness when it came to providing heat. I found it extremely inconsiderate to customers. We had to rush and pack up our food to leave because we couldn’t enjoy it. You guys need to do better. Not only for the costumers, but for your employees! I can’t imagine having to work in those conditions.

me and my friend just went to the West Farms Mall and we’re hungry and we were in the mood for sushi. We came across this place and we looked at the pictures, not the reviews and loved what the food looked like. We went in no wait time and then we sat down at the sushi bar and the waitress came over to take our orders. I got the shrimp tempura, which, if I’m going to be completely honest, had to be the best shrimp tempura I have had in a long time! I fell in love with the shrimp tempura because one it was flavorful, they make their Spicy mayo in house and their sushi is ginormous. My friend ordered A crab roll in one of their special sushi and she wanted more. They gave us on the house I believe octopus or squid, which was absolutely delicious me and my friend kept on asking for more. Then I got the hibachi because I was starving and I didn’t eat anything all day and when I tell you, it was the biggest bowl of hibachi I’ve ever eaten. The presentation was beautiful. Everything had their own little home and the flavors of the hibachi was just everywhere in my mouth. It just tasted delicious and I would recommend this over and over and over again to anyone!! The manager came to our table and told us that he makes everything in house and he was so kind to us and he had a smile on his face the whole entire time and just wanted to talk to me and my friend, and we felt extremely welcomed

I have been coming here for years, and slowly it's gone down hill. Tonight we went for a friend's birthday and it wasn't even the usual basic fun experience. It was awful. Our chef slopped food everywhere, no seasoning, burned everything, no suki fun, no onion volcano or egg tricks. It was astounding. We all felt like we were bothering them to be there. I barely touched my food. Had to accost the stuff for drinks. We spent good money and were very disappointed. I won't be returning. There are other local places that make you feel welcome and make not only the food delicious, but the experience enjoyable. I'd highly suggest going somewhere else.

We went here tonight for a birthday dinner and had an amazing experience. Our group ended up being 12 people, and even with a larger party (we did have a reservation), everything was handled smoothly. The place was clean and nicely decorated, and we chose the hibachi seating, which was a great decision. Our chef, QuQu (I believe that was his name), was fantastic — extremely engaging, funny, and he really put on a great show. He kept the whole table entertained the entire time. We tried a few items off the menu, starting with the shrimp tempura roll, which is always a safe choice and did not disappoint — crispy and fresh. The West Hartford Center Roll was my favorite of the night; the tempura lobster made it a must-try. We also had the yellowtail sashimi, which was super fresh. For my main course, I ordered the Ichiro Special, which came with lobster, chicken, steak, shrimp, rice, noodles, and vegetables — an insane amount of food, and everything tasted great. No complaints at all. To top it off, they brought out a birthday dessert, complete with drums and singing at the table, which made the night even more fun. Everyone had a great time, the food was flavorful across the board, and the experience was excellent. We’ll definitely be back in the future. Highly recommend!

We stopped by Ichiro on a whim while spending 3 days visiting family in CT. So glad we did! We had two of the pick-your-own-rolls (3 for $16), two soft drinks and one veggie tempura appetizer for $48 plus tip. Not a bad price for all the food and the rolls were so tasty. They were made well and the perfect size. The vegetable tempura was good overall, however the zucchini was still quite waterlogged and didn't fry well, but the broccoli, sweet potato, onion and asparagus were excellent. The roll selections came with a choice of miso soup or salad, although I think it should automatically come with both but it's not a huge issue if you're there for a lunch, but dinner guests may prefer both options. Service was fantastic - our server checked on us throughout the meal and she was very kind. It also has plenty of pay-to-park options very nearby so parking isn't an issue. If you're looking for a clean, quick bite with numerous options for meat and non-meat eaters, you can't go wrong with Ichiro!
