The Ichiban Sushi & Noodle Bar Japanese Restaurant

Okay. This is probably the most authentic Japanese restaurant in Cardiff. One of my Japanese teachers, born and brought up in Osaka, even comes here and says this is the closest you can get to homemade Japanese food. The prices are decent and they serve really good alcohol. I definitely will be returning.

This is my favorite restaurant! Best sushi I ever had! And yes fair enough I never been to Japan, but I had sushi in many many places around UK and Europe and even Dubai, but nothing compares to Ichiban in Cardiff! I come at least once or 2wice a month and I am not a type of person who regularly come to any places. I like trying new things, new restaurants every time, but I just can't stay away from Ichiban. I'll give you tip for perfect order: set meal 101, one portion of inari nigiri and one portion of tobiko nigiri. You'll leave full and satisfied as well with a portion size as variety of the meal. However if you're not a fan of those things, they offer wide selection of sushi and other japanese dishes so everyone will find something for themselves. Texture of rice and slices of fish are rich and perfectly balanced. There's a slight issue with heating in winter, so it can get quite cold, but I assure you it's worth it.

Probably my favourite place for sushi in Cardiff, and I consider myself somewhat experienced including multiple trips to Japan. Sushi is my favourite food and I always come here for my birthday. Only lost a star as it was really cold last time had to keep my coat on!
