A co-worker recently told us about an all-you-can-eat sushi deal at Ichiban here in Williamsburg so, of course, we had to check it out. When we walked in the hostess asked if we were there for all-you-can-eat or would we like menus. The hostess directed us to a table where there was a placard explaining our options. This is not a buffet. The food is cooked to order and served at the table, which is nice.
We started with hot sake and appetizers. I felt as though we should already know what we wanted. Having never been here before, I would have liked to have had time to go over the options. The spring rolls were tasty. The calamari was very lightly breaded, allowing the taste of the calamari to shine through.
They have a nice choice of appetizers, soups and salads, kitchen food, and 24 sushi rolls, as well as up to five pieces of bonus sushi to choose from. I was not impressed with the avocado roll as the avocado was slightly less than ripe. The Godzilla roll had potential, but the tuna had a somewhat fishy taste.
I really enjoyed the honey roll and the tempura cheese roll, but the hands-down winner of the meal was the pork fried rice. The dish was tasty with a buttery flavor. The rice was perfectly cooked without being at all greasy.
Our server, Janice, was friendly and helpful. Food was a bit slow coming out of the kitchen, but once it arrived was tasty. I was a bit confused that wasabi was not served. Chopsticks are available, but you have to ask for them.
We did get a to-go menu, which offers a number of other lunch selections besides the all-you-can-eat. The all-you-can-eat is available Mon-Fri 11:30 am-2:30 pm. At 2:30 they do a last call.
Cost for two orders of sake and two all-you-can-eat $44.90
