Ichiban Japanese Restaurant, Fort Lauderdale

The name here means "Number One," and they certainly are when it comes to serving up excellent Japanese cuisine in an environment that appeals to both kids and adults. You won't find many sushi bars that cater to families, but this is one of them. Aside from a full menu of sushi rolls, Ichiban also offers a variety of other options—udon, katsu, teriyaki etc. The restaurant is casual, but not overly so. The dining area is spacious and Japanese art adorns the walls. The sushi chefs have created a number of unusual and inventive rolls that are well worth trying. The Super-Duper featuring three kinds of fish and several vegetables, is the favorite. If you aren't feeling quite daring enough, the more standard sushi is also available, along with a whole list of kitchen food—tempura, udon, teriyaki.
