Sushi Ichiban

Moved to Baltimore for a 6 week long school/​work placement, and like every new city, I have to find a new go to sushi delivery spot.
I’ve ordered from here now twice, and I have to say, I’m glad that I have found my sushi delivery place while in Baltimore! First time I got the sushi, sashimi, & salmon avocado roll combo dinner, which came with a very generous portion of miso soup and a very small (soy sauce container sized) seaweed salad.
I would have NEVER believed that such fresh fish for the sashimi and nigiri could come from a delivery sushi restaurant! The portions were generous, with a good rice to fish ratio for the rolls and nigiri. The salmon sashimi melted in my mouth like butter, leaving the perfect mouth taste and feel. A sort of «sushi was here.» sort of parting message, if you will.
The second time was not quite as successful, but that was more my fault for poor ordering. I got the Ebi Tempura maki under the specialty roll section, thinking it would be some variation of a shrimp tempura roll made even tastier. What I got was a a large, futomaki-​sized roll with steamed shrimp, cream cheese and lettuce on the inside, the whole roll was tempura flash fried, and spicy mayo with eel sauce was drizzled on top. Had I know that this is what was inside the roll, I wouldn’t have gotten it. Perhaps a great option for individuals who are trying out sushi for the first time and prefer cooked rolls rather than the ones with raw fish, or those who prefer a more «Americanized» sushi experience. It probably tastes better when ordered in the restaurant rather than delivered as well, but it was not my cup of tea. I will say, however, that the tempura was perfectly coated, not too thin or too thick, with a great crunch and flavor. The other roll I got was the Tokyo roll, which all but redeemed my poor ordering skills w/​the Ebi tempura roll. It was SO. GOOD. Crunchy tempura flakes mixed with spicy salmon inside and rainbow roll-​style raw salmon, avocado, tuna and flying fish roe on top. Great crunchy inside with a bite from the spicy combo, and that buttery finish with the pieces of fish and avocado on top.
I recommend this place HIGHLY, esp for the nigiri, sashimi, and more raw-​fish fare.

I love this place. very friendly staff. I usually order delivery and the last time I called the woman who takes the orders said «long time no hear». lol. I think its sweet she remembers me even when i don’t call for weeks. I typically always get the same thing, wings and the chicken Teriyaki which are great and everything is piping hot when it comes! Ive had the sushi a time or two, which was good to me as well, but im not a big sushi eater so im not overly critical of it.

I did not get sushi here. I got teriyaki chicken but let me say. It was excellent! Very far from the gross typical Asian/“Chinese” food. Probably the best in the area! Definitely go here. Super hole in the wall but probably healthier for you than panera bread next door.
Real broccoli and green peppers etc. obviously good stuff since green peppers are an indication of freshness. :) definitely will be returning in the future.

1^st time trying this place. Ordered online the estimated delivery time was 1 hr and 15 mins but, it came within 30 mins. Ordered Korean fried rice, crispy crab wontons, shrimp tempura and an iced green tea. The portion sizes were plentiful compared to other places I’ve ordered from. I can definitely see myself ordering from here again.

Worst pad Thai I’ve ever had. There was beef and over cooked tofu in the chicken pad Thai that I ordered. It had no flavor and tasted like mint because of the mint leaves put on top. Yuck!

I highly recommend their sushi and the service is excellent.

I’m not sushi’d out! It’s not happening! I love sushi too much. Sorry! I just wish this one was better because the woman on the phone was soooo nice and sweet. A little frantic because the phone was going off like crazy, but she got her job done. Poor thing. lol
We stopped by one day looking for sushi. We thought it’d be a sit down kind of place… and it is, but isn’t at the same time. No tables. Just counters and chairs. Not what we were looking for, so we headed over to Sushi Hana instead. We apologize for being rude.
Tonight, my roomie and I ordered a platter of 28 pieces of sushi for $ 30. We can’t beat that price. Scored some passion fruit bubble tea and a lychee Ramune, too.
The sushi was okay. I wasn’t feeling the tako roll. It was super chewy and bitter. Also, there was some unidentifiable white fish that was heavily marinated in vinegar. I suspect this might have happened because the fish was getting too fishy and they needed something to mask the scent. The salmon and tuna were great. My teeth slid right through the meat and left a good mouthfeel, smell, and taste. It was tender, but I could still feel the grain against my teeth. Almost perfection. The veggie rolls were veggie rolls. A-​Okay.
The part that really disappointed me was the bubble tea. It barely tasted like passion fruit. Just a hint of the flavour and that’s it. The tapioca pearls were horrible. They were hard as a rock. Not.Chewy.At.All. I got through half of it and trashed the rest.
Do I feel like our dinner was worth $ 41 plus tip? No. Maybe around $ 15, but it can’t be helped.

Ordered from Eat24 at 7PM on a Tuesday. Ordered three simple rolls, 2 tuna and 1 snapper. Took 1hr 20min to arrive. Rolls were awful, mostly dry rice, fish was poorly cut, and I could have bought better wasabi at an H Mart. When it comes to ordering out I try to always give a place 3 chances, but this was such a poor experience I doubt I’ll order again. Prices were a hair lower than most sushi in the area, but the quality obviously more than negated it. Like I said, I understand that ordering out can bring some extra risks, but having eaten sushi in cities up and down the east coast, I can be objective. This, objectively, was one of my poorest sushi experiences. I hope I’m in the minority.

Staff was very friendly, portions were generous and reasonably priced and delicious. Try their green tea lemonade — good stuff

Very delicious. Try the Black Pearl Maki for something with some crunch to it. I also recommend the Green Dragon Maki, yummy. Of course everyone has different tastes but there is plenty to choose from here. Enjoy!

This is the first time I’ve given a take out place 5 stars. Awesome sushi and even better service!

Found this gem and absolutely Love it! I always order the pepper steak or broccoli beef, my husband loves the Korean rice with either chicken or shrimp. Always hot, fresh and super fast!

This place is run by nice Chinese people. The portions are large compared to the price. Time from order to finish is very fast, 15 minutes max! I like the Szechuan chicken which is very spicy. They have many menu options to choose from.

great chinese food. they girls are super nice and the service is fast. the plates are big and normally we share or we have left overs. they have a good delivery. the noodles are really good.
Love their Chicken and Broccoli! Their. Fried Rice is also great. Cannt beat it…

Pad Thai was NOT good! I had tofu (I think) instead of chicken and the shrimp was not fresh! I will NOT be going back. Worst pad Thai I’ve had! I wasted money! Shrimp spring rolls were okay!

I love this place, this is where my roommate and I go for good cheap Chinese. The staff are super nice and good lunch deals !

This is one of those «is what it is» places. It’s next to a Panera Bread and between the Target and Walmart located in Towson. If the area was a strip mall, this would be where you would go after doing your shopping. The menu has a ton of options but none of which jump out at you. I wandered in here one evening confused on what to eat but wanted something light so I went with the Shrimp with steamed veggies (minus broccoli). The price was fairly reasonable and the taste was fairly bland but I wasn’t expecting anything different.
The patrons that came in and out spoke very highly of the sushi and since it was made right in front of you, it did seem to be a good amount of pieces offered for the prices on the menu so that may determine whether this place keeps a 3 star or falls to a 2 star.

I’ve been here only once before and I was not very impressed with the food and service. I gave them a second chance and the food was better, but the service was a bit lacking. The person taking my order seemed to be disinterested. (I was surprised it came out correctly!) The food itself was better this time around but I don’t know if I will go back

Sushi Ichiban is not going to be your destination sushi restaurant, but then again, it’s not supposed to be. The restaurant is intended to provide carryout sushi (and other types of Asian cuisine) at affordable prices, with acceptable quality. The quality of the fish and other ingredients doesn’t stack up to other local sushi joints but it isn’t horrible either. The star attribute here are the prices. The menu offers a large variety of sushi at very cheap prices, as well as discounts on combo meals involving several rolls.
When I got carryout from here I ordered a combination meal that offered a California roll and a salmon roll for something like $ 8.00. I also ordered an additional eel and avocado roll just to ensure I would be full. My total cam to around $ 13 for the three rolls which is essentially unheard of. All the rolls were pretty good and nothing tasted overly fishy.
All in all, if you’re looking for a quick sushi fix, Sushi Ichiban is your place. If you are looking to have a nice sit down sushi meal in Towson I recommend you go to The Orient or Sushihana.

Have been to this place a few times, and our office at work orders here for lunch every now and then.
It’s a small place where you can eat there if you wish, but most will probably take out. It was very clean from what I saw.
The menu has Sushi and Chinese options which I have ordered both. Very quick service and the food was good.
