Ichiban Asian Bistro - Amherst

Simple looking restaurant in Amherst Catering to Szechuan/Chinese taste. Hotpot, dry pot or classic stir fry, all options here prefer authentic Chinese flavors and styles. An adventurous choice for intrepid Westerners or a taste of home for the local East Asian communities. The food is clean, very tasty and moderate. The layout can be somewhat confusing and the staff is sometimes slow, but if you sit with a cup of tea, everything seems less important... HIGHLY RECOMMEND

Great food. The service is not very perfect (we had to ask for bowls and spoons), but the hotpot was relatively affordable and tasty.

The atmosphere is one of the best in Amherst-very elegant and modern. The food is good, but not exceptional. I wish there were more vegetarian options - I just remember there's a veggie wheel. The service is fast and friendly, and they are also generous with the occasional free sushi roll or ice cream.

Here is really the best sushi, sashimi and roll restaurant in this area. This is also the largest Japanese restaurant in Amherst. You can see the beautiful coating of combo menus. Ingredients are so fresh. Their lunch menus are also affordable and tasty. They just opened, but become a popular Japanese restaurant.

Five stars all around: food, service, comfort, cleanliness and price. If you love sushi, you'd better get in here. Terrific food all around, a loveable wait staff, and a family-friendly atmosphere. Great lunch specials, too. I'm ready to go here all the time.
