The Crawford County Chamber of Commerce is excited to welcome a fresh new flavor to our local business community! This past Friday, we had the pleasure of attending the soft opening of Ichigo, a premier Hibachi and Sushi destination now open in the heart of Crestline.

Located in the beautifully revitalized space on Seltzer Street, Ichigo is a fantastic example of the vibrant small business growth we are seeing throughout our area. As an organization dedicated to business support, the Chamber is thrilled to see new entrepreneurs investing in the unique character of our villages.

A New Destination for Crawford County Diners

It’s always a proud moment for the Chamber to see entrepreneurs investing in our local communities. Ichigo fills a unique niche in the area, offering a polished sit-down experience that caters to both a high-quality lunch and a relaxed evening out.

Soft Opening Highlights

While many are familiar with “performance-style” hibachi, Ichigo offers a more intimate “Kitchen-Style” Hibachi. This means your steak, chicken, and seafood are expertly prepared by chefs in the kitchen and brought to your table hot and seasoned to perfection.

During our visit, a few things really stood out:

  • The Bento Boxes: A standout for the lunch crowd! These organized, multi-compartment meals offer a perfect balance of protein, rice, salad, and sides. They are an excellent value for professionals looking for a complete, high-quality meal during a busy workday.
  • The Sushi Bar: The presentation was a highlight. The fish was exceptionally fresh, and the variety of rolls—from traditional favorites to signature creations—offers something for every palate.
  • Hibachi Classics: Whether you prefer steak, chicken, or seafood, the hibachi plates are served with generous portions of savory fried rice and perfectly grilled vegetables.
