Ichiban

Great food with incredible staff. One of the best Japanese restaurants I've been to in a long time. It has a cozy atmosphere that makes you feel like you're in the restaurant owner's home, and you feel very welcomed at all times. The prices are really affordable which is another bonus as the food is outstanding. You get more than you pay for. This is a must visit place in Brixton for sure. 10/10 would recommend a friend.

Top quality, fresh, excellent execution. Been here a few times and it's always exceeded my expectations. The menu is varied with hot and cold pan-asian dishes. The sushi selection is great and fab quality for the price. Really happy customer and I'll keep coming back.

Whilst we waited some time for our order to be taken it was certainly worthwhile and completely understandable considering how busy it was. Both the sushi and main dishes were excellent, tasty well seasoned using quality ingredients. Highly recommended

Really really really nice place with very tasty food and good prices Highly recommend to visit and will probably come back! The only thing is the toilet that is horrible with rusty sink, hope that they’ll do anything with it with a time

Quality food and decent prices. Great atmosphere too. Real Japanese taste. No wagamama crap here.

I have been going to this place for four years and the only thing I want to do is to come back. I live in Walthamstow and travel all the way down Victoria line to get my Pad Thai in this place. My boyfriend and I have invited many people to come here and everyone was enjoying the food and environment. So well done! Staff is amazing too!

Amazing food! loved the Japanese Rice Cakes. Great service

The food here was great, I had the Sukiyaki Don and the beef in it was amazing! Nice cosy restaurant with chilled music, a wide tasty variety of Japanese dishes. I would've loved to try more starter's but unfortunately I got a small stomach so I guess I'll have to come back here again! Also including a bottle of plum wine my 2 person meal only came to ~£60, would definitely recommend.

Lovely little local a bit of the beaten track. Basic decor and generally no fuss attitude and yummy food. The fact that it's busy with locals speaks for itself as it's just around the corner from buzzing Brixton Market.

Amazing! cute cozy small authentic place! do call and book before coming over as its small! So Enjoyed the food and friendly staff service. Not to be missed!

Totally decent not-just sushi at pretty reasonable-for-London-sushi prices. Very nice tempura, totally decent sake, down to earth super friendly old-school Brixton staff. Yay..

I had the Yaki Udon fried thick noodles with chicken and vegetables for £7.50. It was surprisingly filling because it didn't look so big on the plate, but nothing special in terms of taste. The restaurant itself had a very nice vibe, especially as there were seeminly very many people around the same age as me (I'm 27). They only took cash the evening I went, which was a bit of an inconvenience as we had to go down the street to an ATM, though I suspect that that was just a temporary issue.

Over stretched waiting staff on a surprisingly busy Monday evening did the best they could - truly delicious sushi and noodles. So good we had second rounds of our main course instead of pudding... A great Brixton spot.

Worst sushi ever! And the asahi beer is served already open and is fake, probably filled with something else. If you enjoy sushi just stay sway from this place.

I have been coming to Ichiban for over 10 years, and I am never disappointed. This is the only place around that makes authentic home-cooking style Japanese food. I am half-Japanese and the rice at Ichiban is just like my mother used to make for me. Oishii!

I love this place. A lot quieter than the noodle place next door so you can have a conversation! food is lovely and i've been back time and time again. Not expensive

If you want some good but basic Japanese food, this is the best place in Brixton. The food is always tasty and the service is always friendly. Defrinitely a keeper.
