Love this local Hibachi restaurant! They are family run, super attentive, and make excellent food! One of the chefs here actually used to work at Benihana, and decided to start his own restaurant. This place is cleaner, less pretentious and much more reasonably priced than their competitor. Come with a big group, they’ll make sure you have a great time.

We love it here. Very clean and Great owners. The food is always terrific and the«yummy-yummy» shrimp sauce is fantastic. I was so excited to find a hibachi grill that’s better than Benihana and on the west side!!!

This place looks awful. But wow is the food good! Dinner prices are high like Benihana or sukura. But well worth it! If you want cheaper come for lunch. My kids even loved it. Just don’t buy a kids meal. They only have a dinner menu for kids which is like a 12 dollar lunch and extra for fried rice. Kind of crazy but enough food in the adult lunch to share

Great food. Great service. It doesn’t look great from the outside, but this is one of the best restaurants on the west-side. A great hibachi experience without driving all over town. This is a family-owned business and they take great pride in their food and service. It shows.

My boyfriend and I were planning a dinner date with his parents on the west side, so I went on a hunt to see if there were any new non-chain restaurants to choose from. I came across Aji Ichiban, a new hibachi joint in one of the weirdest locations you could possibly imagine. It is nestled quaintly next to a check cashing establishment and a liquor store, 50% of which is convenient because Aji Ichiban is BYOB. Wo0t. So we grabbed some booze and headed inside. I’m kind of torn on this review( Unilocal reviews weigh ever so heavily on me). The food and the service were good, but I think I may be one of the only people in the world that doesn’t understand the concept of «dinner and a show» with the show being performance-cooking. The novelty just doesn’t really affect me. But, I’m not going to take a star off because I willingly went to Aji knowing this. I think this is a good addition to the west side and the fact that is it BYOB is pretty nice. Keep in mind that the BYOB aspect as well as the«show» aspect will make this dinner a little pricier.

Talk about a hidden gem! I know it doesn’t look like much from the outside, but this place is great! My with and I have become regulars. Both the food and service is excellent. As one of the other posters mentioned, we really enjoy the fact that this a family owned business. Definitely try this place, if you haven’t yet.

This place is great! If you don’t want to travel all the way to Tri-County to enjoy Bennihana’s food you can get the same quality food and service here at Aji Ichiban. The only thing that’s different besides it’s size is the shrimp sauce :(other than that this place was great. I visited last Friday for the first time and loved it. The owner is so friendly and the service was great. The food was also great! I love that this is on my side of town(Westwood). If you haven’t tried it yet hurry up and try it!

I love this place. I’ve been there several times since they opened and Jen always treats me like family. Good atmosphere and great food! I recommend the spicy chicken.

Great Food… Better than Benihana. With a little better customer service, this place would be excellent.

Me and the family were looking for a «non-traditional» Christmas Eve Dinner. My wife has eaten lunch there before and was impressed. The service was fantastic. I personally prefer to patronize a family owned place versus the standard franchise fare that caters quantity. This place has been open for just about four months and is owned by a couple trying to achieve their«American Dream.» You’ll need to bypass your insticts to avoid a place that is next to a check cashing joint and liquor store. Luckilly, their entrance is on the side of the building away from the«tennants» Trust a Unilocal review and give them a shot. The experience is modeled after the Benihanna experience. The food was very good quality. The soup is homemade. The waitress explained exactly how they make it fresh. Starting with making their own chicken stock. The salads were fresh and appealing. There were six in our party including one little one age 7. Each of us had the shrimp appetizer and some steak or chicken combination. The Chef paid close attention to our little one and put on a good show for him. The meal was very delicious. While the prices are comparable to any other Hibachi style restaurant, I did feel they were about $ 3 or $ 4 higher than anything else in the area. But, in return, the portions were generous. As a life long westsider, I’ll tell you that the westside is hungry for some upscale family dining. Something different than the typical chain restaurant. Give these guys a shot. I think they deserve a look.

The food is delicious up to par with any of the other local hibachi style Japanese steakhouses. While everything was very tasty, I think the dinner price point is a bit high for the area. The restaurant is in the same strip as a check cashing place and a liquor store(that should have been a hint to the owner…). I will definitely be back for their lunch specials which are very reasonably priced around $ 12 dollars. Also, I’ll have to update this review once I try their sushi.
