Ichiro Sushi & Hibachi Restaurant (Trumbull) - Trumbull, Connecticut

I’ll start by saying the food was enjoyable. I would still order from here for takeout. They deserve that credit.

For the service, there’s definitely room for improvement. We had to ask repeatedly for utensils (spoons for soup), an extra cup for the sake my wife and I were splitting, and another bowl for soy sauce (there wasn’t one for each person), none of which came. Our friends had to ask repeatedly for their drinks. The dining side had three other patrons at the time, but perhaps they were spread thin by the hibachi side. Either way, their staff could be more attentive .

We were there for the unlimited sushi. Like I said the portions were great and food delicious (be warned, though, the Lemongrass Hot and Sour has seafood in it, which I wish it stayed on the menu). However, we put in one order and there was no follow up to see if you wanted more. Like I said, the portions were decent so it wasn’t really an issue. But it appears you should order everything you’ll want up front rather than order as you eat like most all you can eat sushi. Not so much a neg as a point you should know to set expectations.

Lastly, the atmosphere. This critism is, unfortunately, more of a reflection on the parents in this town. The people sitting behind us had their kid playing on an iPad at full blast. Later, they let their kid poke and pat us on our backs while we ate and let their child roam to the other tables where people were eating.

The people from the hibachi side let their children run free. Two children came to our side of the dining and started playing with the table settings of the open tables while their dad watched drinking his beer. Another child was banging on a decorative drum, pounding away, while parents just watched. Classic case of people making their kids other peoples issue. We share a space and all have the right to enjoy a night out.

The lack of discipline with this children, the parents watching it happen and saying nothing and the staff not saying anything either left us not wanting to return.

With that said, I would say this is a take-out only establishment.

I think this place is a solid 3.5 stars.
The service was good. Decent. The waitress was nice. Accurate. Fast.
The food ordered came out promptly and all orders were correct.
I was very skeptical about the flavors and freshness. We ordered based off of what could be potentially ordered most often.
The udon dish got a little salty towards the end.
The raw fish was good, bento box was good too.

This place is amazing! Good quality food at an affordable price. Food was well prepared and sent out quick. My server was extremely nice. They also have many Japanese drinks. It is great for someone wants to try new things. Highly recommended and will come again!

Overall a typical hibachi restaurant but the food was a little bland and it seemed somewhat run down. This might be unfair as this restaurant has been around for decades so when comparing it to all the newer places it seems rundown but it did.

Wow!! Now this is our sushi place! The food is super fresh and delicious. Especially the sashimi, the texture of the fishes are so gorgeous. You will never forget that taste, juicy, soft, fresh, a little bit of sweet. The restaurant also has Chinese dishes which are very cheap, but come with large portion. Moreover this place is very clean and quiet. The servers are friendly too. I can't wait to go back again!

Got takeout experience! The restaurant is very cute and clean. I explained my 4 year old wanted to try sushi, the lady in the front was very sweet and informed me that they had a special. I waited less than 15 mins and the lady was on her way out to me. When I got home I was so pleased to see they made my son chopsticks with a little rubber band and paper so that he could use them! That was not only so thoughtful, and sweet but my son was extremely happy and just an overall great experience! Thanks again guys! We’ll be back soon!

I came here for a birthday celebration and it was an amazing experience for me as well as the birthday boy. The service and food were amazing and the hibachi chefs were professional entertainers. We all had a great time and I will definitely be going back.

Food was good but nothing super special. Wasn’t satisfied. The sushi was solid, soup it came with was cold but was good when I heated it up. The hibachi was also solid. I’d give it a 3.5 stars. I can’t explain it any way other than it’s not bad but it’s also not great to the point where it makes me wanna come back.
