TAMPA – Ichiban Sushi Ramen started out in Tampa back in 1986. They were just a sushi bar at the beginning, but as their popularity grew, the menu grew. With that growth came more customers and the best part, loyal customers.<\/p>\n

Those loyal customers have followed Ichiban Sushi Ramen as they moved to a new location from Fowler Avenue to Florida Avenue in Seminole Heights.<\/p>\n

What they’re saying:<\/p>\n

“Ichibani in Japanese means number 1,” said Caroline Hung. She’s one of the founders of the restaurant. “We’ve been in Tampa for 39 years, since 1986, we started with a sushi bar.”<\/p>\n

That was then. In July, Hung and her family moved the restaurant to a new location on Florida Avenue.<\/p>\n

For the customer who hasn’t been to Ichiban before, Hung spoke of what to expect on the menu.<\/p>\n

“We sell sushi and ramen in the heart of Seminole Heights,” she said, “We have a lot of sushi roll, we have a lot of sashimi, tuna, samon and yellow tail. We also have ramen and then Takoyaki, the street food.”<\/p>\n

They chose the location because of their loyal clientele. They even created a Seminole Heights Roll to mark the occasion.<\/p>\n

“A lot of our customers live here. We pick here because of history, and we have history here too,” she said.<\/p>\n

The hope is that more people who head to Seminole Heights for the different eateries will discover them.<\/p>\n

“We cook our ramen over ten hours. We make our own broth. We make our own meat and all the sides. We make in-house,” she said. “Customers actually know, they come once, and they taste the difference.”<\/p>\n
