Ichiban - Saint Louis

This is my favorite sushi place in town. Great food, great service from a small mom n pop shop. Fresh sushi always. Hidden gem.

Eel related everything is good! Plum sake is very classic. And matcha ice cream is the best dessert!

I went on a Saturday night which was very quiet. I got nigiri which was large pieces of fish but not quite the same sized ball of rice but it was still delicious. They had more to chose from for nigiri than I have seen before at a sushi place. Service was good, there seemed to be only two workers there but that didn't slow down any service. As you can tell from the picture, I had a monster sized roll which was sooooooo good. I will definitely be returning.

Great restaurant run by a family. Extremely generous proportions. They don't try to load their sushi with rice. Very nice atmosphere.

Don't go...this is the nabe udon I ordered for lunch...instead of having additional seafood and fish cake (noted on the menu , only one egg and one shrimp (I ate the shrimp as it is tempera shrimp and they packed noodle and soup together for Togo order! were seen. I was told it was lunch special so no two other things as seen in the dinner menu. I paid $18 for this. Won't go again and don't recommend anyone to go with this price.
