It's easy to find something for everyone on the menu. I ordered a spicy dish and it had the perfect amount of heat. Our food came out super fast, and it was a busy Friday night, with students coming back to school. Clean, updated interior and pleasant service. In the mood for Thai, I would recommend

Love this place. Low key, friendly staff, big portions, fresh ingredients, cooked to order, and low prices. Amazing noodle dishes and soups. My daughter and I ate our weight in crispy wontons that were served piping hot right out of the fryer with a sweet chili sauce. I tried the new menu item the Phnom Pehn Cambodian noodle soup. It was tasty, but way too much to eat. I took the rest home for dinner that night. When in Amherst, show this place some love and stop by for a really great meal!

3. Ichiban Asian Bistro
Reviewed By merlinslap
After many years working in Japan, Thailand, and East Asia, eating and learning about local cuisines, I know something about Asian food. Ichiban couldn't last a day in Japan or Thailand, even as cheap eats for students. The sushi is old, tasteless, and half the size of the regular fresher tastier sushi you can get at a local supermarket. We had to ask for miso soup because the waiter did not know it came with our meals. The soup was watery and tasteless, made without a hint of dashi or salt, the two essential ingredients that give miso soup its flavor. The tempura here is made with tasteless unseasoned batter and old inedible vegetables and bland daikon radish. The tiny tasteless shumai were also half the size of any I have had elsewhere. The sushi is served with artificially colored pink ginger and fake green wasabi, neither of which I would eat. These fake condiments and a restaurant's miso soup and tempura are good indicators of quality and culinary skills, neither of which are present at Ichiban. The decor is black furniture and floors with large garish prints of sumo wrestlers and Osaka castle with cherry blossoms. I would not eat here again, but fortunately real Asian food can be found in Amherst, just not at Ichiban.
