Ichiban Sushi - Prunedale

Sushi rolls were a good size and very flavorful. Located in Prundale in a small shopping center. Small place but big in flavor and selection. Very presentable and exquisite.

I've been here numerous times. First time at their new location, a couple doors over. Larger space for sure. My co-worker and I get there. Maybe only 3 tables occupied, 3 or 4 gals working the front. They look at us with a semi blank stare, when we mention there are two of us. Finally we are told to pick anywhere, we find a table and sit down. Menus are dispensed and drinks are ordered. First time around we needed a couple minutes, then when we were ready it took us forever to get someone to take our order. Do not try to order lunch items on the weekend. It does not specify that on the menu at all. You pay dinner price all weekend. We ordered our food, which took some time. Salad came with a small to-go cup of salad dressing placed on top of the salad. Sushi rolls were okay, rice was a bit overdone and thickly layered on the nori. I got full fast. The tempura inside the sushi roll wasn't crispy at all, it went soggy. The batter was a bit on the thicker side. The tempura appetizers were small and limited. Carrot, squash/potato, acorn squash, singular piece of broccoli, zucchini, and shrimp. The plates were a bit large, making the portions look quite small. The veggie tempura provided a couple extra pieces of broccoli, but almost the same. Coco loco roll is alright, big mouthful. Toasted coconut would have made the dish better, different texture and taste. Dragon roll was just meh. It was odd that they only provide you one receipt with the itemization, then only one copy to sign. Always usually a merchant copy and customer copy. Still $80 for two people, sushi/ Japanese food just seems to get more expensive nowadays.

Good food! Flavor is on point. Only thing I can say is that they don't have enough servers. They had alot of empty tables and said they couldn't sit our party of 6 for 30-40min. We asked to sit and wait without being attended too and they said no. Too many young servers that don't know what they are doing. It's the second time they don't have enough employees on a weekend. They shouldn't be doing take out if they can't handle in person customers.

Waited over an hour for our food while people who sat down after we ordered got their food. When the food came out it was the wrong order and everything covered in hot sauce and cilantro. We asked for our check immediately after trying the food and waited another 30 minutes to even pay for the terrible food and service.

First time here. Recently moved to Prunedale. Service was a bit slow.. the sushi rolls I ordered were phenomenal. I stick to one of my favorite places usually and hate getting disappointed when I try different sushi restaurants. This one did not as far as their food goes. Delicious and will be back!
