The food here is really fresh. The location is very spacious, and the medium size crowd was well tended to by the friendly staff. I really enjoyed their lunch menu--I ordered the Ninja Deluxe (chicken teriyaki, shrimp & vegetable tempura + California roll 3 pcs). It was good! I was also eyeing my neighbor's spicy miso ramen soup, it looked yummy. I'll probably order that next time, or maybe just hit the sushi menu. As I said before, I liked the food; the only drawback was that it took a bit to come out--but, in all fairness, we did have a semi-large group.

Extensive variety of selections. Some very good and some not so good. Even with the better dishes, the quality and temperature of the food can be very dependent upon "turnover". Best when just bought out from the kitchen and not that appetizing when it has been sitting there for some time. So, like almost all buffets, the food is generally fresher and better when they are busy right at lunch and dinner times, but then when it is really busy, you can have other issues.

We went to this local Japanese restaurant last night with friends. Ichiban is celebrating their 30th year in business in Brea and that alone says a lot for their reputation. We ordered a "boat" which is shared amongst each other. It does come in a boat, set in the middle of the table. It certainly had enough food. We had chicken and steak teriyaki, my only complaint was the steak was overcooked for my liking, the chicken was good. There was a lot of shrimp & vegetable tempura, excellent. The coating was just right and I'm picky about that. We went with gyoza and this was also really good & crunchy. Finally the California roll. My friend doesn't eat the seaweed wrapping so they made it with rice paper and it was good this way too. We finished it all off with green tea ice cream. Very please with the meal and will return.
4. Octopus Japanese Fusion Restaurant

We really like the sushi served at Octopus. When we want to go out for sushi, we always go to Octopus. The food is fresh, and they usually offer specials for some amazing rolls, as well as offer creative rolls that aren't on the regular menu. The only downside to dining at Octopus is that the service is hit and miss. Sometimes we have a perfectly good evening with great service. Other times, we've waited and waited for our order to be taken and our food to arrive. The service doesn't seem to be based on how busy the restaurant is, so its just a matter of luck. However, once we do get our food, we ENJOY it.
5. Shark Sushi
Reviewed By georgia92845
I recently had the honor of attending a Sushi feast hosted by my son. This was held at his favorite Sushi restaurant, Shark Sushi, in Brea, California. My son has eaten sushi in many parts of the world and he says this one is the BEST. After eating there I would have to agree. Here is a list of the dishes served: Toro- blue fin belly, yellow tail belly; salmon, uni, miso soup, shishito sweet peppers, Brea Roll-tempura salmon on spicy tuna, unagi roll with oba leaf, sashimi salad, pork cutlet, fried popcorn lobster roll, edamame,sweet shrimp (raw) followed by fried shrimp heads (which sounds gross but is delicious, just like eating chips), green tea ice cream with a cookie stick, hot tea,and saki . Overall it was a meal fit for a king, queen, duke-whatever. When you want a meal to celebrate life, or just hungry for a delicious meal, go to the one place quality is served with a smile.As for cost, since I didn't pay attention, I would say fine dining range; however, the food is meant for you to eat and not everyone orders everything on the menu, so maybe it is more mid-range. Go see for yourself.
