Ichiban Yakitori Sushi House Boston

Itching for Ichiban

Kristian from Boston

About me Originally from Florida, I’ve been happily exploring Boston since 2011. I love writing, sad music, happy animals, and marine life. Currently saving up to explore the world with my two cats (Sasha and The Cat). Why Boston So much to do, so much to see, so what's wrong with hitting the back streets? Where else can you find me online? Twitte...

""Ichiban Yakitori Sushi House" in Boston is a lovely restaurant to grab a bite to eat before a night out. Their yakitori and spiced corn is my favorite!"

Located down the street from Berklee College of Music and the Symphony MBTA stop, Ichiban Yakitori Sushi House is a great place to grab a bite to eat before a night out at the symphony or a night of barhopping on Boylston Street. Out of all the sushi places in Boston, you might ask me, why ichiban? Well, the yakitori.

Yakitori typically refers to a style of skewered grilled chicken, but Ichiban offers way more than just chicken on their yakitori menu. Along with meat and seafood options, Ichiban also offers a lot of grilled vegetarian options, including eggplant, spiced corn (which is, in my opinion, amazing), and tofu. All of these are offered in small plates, so you can try a bunch of different things, or order a ton for your table to share tapas-style.

If you're in the mood for something else, never fear! Ichiban's got your back. They have plenty of sushi options (including a good few for all us vegetarians out there!) along with a bunch of Korean and Japanese specialties. They also have great deals on their Happy Hour menu (16:00 - 18:00 every day) and fresh, $1 oysters daily. Even if you're just going for a couple of drinks, Ichiban's stylish interior and quick service makes it an ideal spot for a date night.
