About Us
For more than 23 years, Ichiban Restaurant Sushi Bar has been a Sarasota staple, serving fresh, made‑to‑order Japanese cuisine from the very same cozy spot on Stickney Point Road. Just minutes from Siesta Key, we’ve become a local favorite for families, sushi lovers, and anyone craving authentic Japanese flavors in a warm, welcoming atmosphere.
At Ichiban, we believe sushi should be fresh, generous, and crafted with care—never rushed, never pre‑made. That’s why our popular All‑You‑Can‑Eat Sushi is prepared to order, roll by roll, plate by plate. No trays. No shortcuts. Just real sushi made by real chefs, exactly the way Sarasota has loved it for over two decades.
Our menu blends classic Japanese dishes with the comfort of a neighborhood restaurant:
Hand‑rolled sushi and sashimi
Hibachi‑style entrées
Tempura, teriyaki, and traditional appetizers
House specialties you won’t find anywhere else
To complement your meal, we offer a curated selection of beer and wine, perfect for pairing with sushi nights, date nights, or casual dinners with friends.
What makes Ichiban special isn’t just the food—it’s the feeling. The same owners, the same location, the same commitment to quality for 23 years. We’re proud to be one of Sarasota’s longest‑running sushi restaurants, serving locals, visitors, and generations of families who return again and again.
Whether you’re here for all‑you‑can‑eat sushi, a relaxing dinner after the beach, or your go‑to Japanese comfort food, Ichiban Restaurant Sushi Bar is your home for fresh, made‑to‑order Japanese cuisine in Sarasota.
