Ichiban Teriyaki House

Almost hidden at the far end of the food court at the Stamford mall, it doesn't catch your eye immediately but to us regulars it's the definition of Japanese takeout/fast food. The food is good, not heavy or too greasy despite the oil they squirt unto the meat during the grilling process. Still their teriyaki chicken is soft and succulent. Their seasoning and salt are minimal but along with the always fresh veggies the result is healthy and satisfying food even if a little bland. The counter service staff is polite and attentive to your requests but as for atmosphere I'm not sure what to say. There is none. This is the mall after all. They are very fast at getting your meal ready but don't expect them to smile and make small chat. Fast good food. That is the point!

I have loved having teriaki at the top of Stamford Mall for over 10 years. Maybe because Ichiban is so good. It might be odd for CT, but back in L.A. a great chicken teriyaki lunch is king. There used to be other good food at the mall food court but now its mostly junk food, except for Ichiban.
