Ichiban knows how to ring in special occasions and always manages to get everyone involved. Complete with a Japanese version of Happy Birthday and lights from a colored disco ball above, the staff turns average dining experiences into parties.

The large tables are set up around the eatery's grill, with one open end for the chef to cook the meal, which he’ll wheel out on a stainless steel cart before he begins his show. The chef prepares the rice, noodles, vegetables and entrees in an exciting way that will leave everyone in awe. The meal includes soup, salad and two dipping sauces -- ginger sauce and shrimp sauce.
