TanyaApril 5, 2014I love it here. Been loads of times and keep going back. Good yummy food and the service has always been quick when I go :)
Clark GilliesMay 26, 2016Great Japanese food and beer at good prices. Soups are great and noodles are very tasty. Very friendly staff! Will be back
LaylaDecember 21, 2018Was really excited to try some good ramen, the place looks great and the service is friendly. However the food did let us down a little, the ramen was just fine and the donburi a bit plain... :(
- Jack OsborneMay 22, 2013The original Ichiban which opened its doors in June 1998, was quickly followed by a sister branch in the west-end of the the city in 2002.
Wesley A'HarrahSeptember 29, 2018Go for one of their blooming teas. Both delicious and visually stunning 🌸 🍵
Chris MeechanJuly 24, 2019The chicken katsu was overdone, the tempura a bit bland although the beef skewers were tasty. Pickled Ginger is still the sushi restaurant to beat in Glasgow.
Stacie LindsayAugust 9, 2014Love this place! I had a hand in the original branding and design way back when the two ichiban's first opened in Glasgow- Natacha BielikoffSeptember 10, 2018Really cool Japanese restaurant with a lot of options beyond sushi and a nice lunch menu bundle
Rain StormsApril 12, 2016Good ramen but not the best in Glasgow. Gyoza were small and deep fried to crisp nothing left of them. Service very good and restaurant is clean and well looked after.
Heather SmartAugust 13, 2012Best and most cheap Sushi bar in Glasgow city. Casual Japanese place, not to busy and not to quiet. I just love it here!
Yannick BlockMarch 24, 2018Really great ramen and chilis. Also the teas are very delicious and look cool!
Yulia OvcharovaOctober 24, 2021Amazing salmon sushi. Portions are very generous in size. Loved the friendly staff there.
Eliani EzaniAugust 7, 2014Had fried rice (lunch deal), no wow factor I would say. Salmon sushi not that fresh. Will try their udon in my next visit, perhaps?
Laura BuechelerDecember 15, 2014So many options! I loved the bento box and it tasted really authentic!
Marie-Anne RamondAugust 25, 2013Ask what the "season vegetables" are before ordering them...I was served with a big plate of hot cabbage... Ouch!
Kirsty BellJanuary 28, 2011Get the lunch deal on week days: main course and a side of sushi for £6.90

"The place (a 6-story building)is really nice, with different screen sizes, the middle of which is similar to those in Dubai Mall. I tried different cinemas accross Europe. By far Cineworld is the best"
