COMPANY HISTORY

James Chuang immigrated here in 1984 with the hope of achieving the American Dream. In 1997, he and his brothers opened our first location in Princeton, New Jersey. Since then, we've evolved from a small, family-run restaurant to a luxury sushi catering company with an impressive clientele of New York City’s most-coveted venues including Cipriani, The Plaza, and Mandarin Oriental. In 2019, we were awarded as one of Harriette Rose Katz's “Chosen Few”.  

COMPANY VALUES & MISSION

The core of Ichiban Japanese Catering is built on creating food that brings people together. In light of COVID-19 and we wanted to continue fostering a spirit of community—while respecting social distancing guidelines.  The Ichiban team has donated over 50000 masks, 500 gowns, 500 safety goggles, and 250 bento boxes to hospitals in the New York/New Jersey area. While events are still little ways off, our company has taken a new direction and added takeout and started to develop more innovative recipes.

 Our mission is to serve delicious, high quality and creative Asian cuisine—as we know that every bite matters. We aspire to make food an experience not only for your mouth but for the people around you.
