Ichiban Sushi is located on the Mesa in Santa Barbara and serves up a selection of fresh fish, including great local options. It's a nice place to go for sushi, nigiri, udon and more. Try a dinner combination set or be adventurous and order a boat. What's a boat? We're glad you asked! A 'boat' is a combination sushi dinner served in thematic dish ware. Fun! Ichiban offers several seating options, including Tatami style seating, tables and the sushi bar. They also serve beer and sake. Lots of free parking out front and out back. Very close to everything else on the Mesa.
