Ichiran - Ramen restaurant in New York - 132 W 31st St, USA

I come to NYC every year and was recommended by a friend to try this place as he had seen it online and wow! The pork was cooked to perfection, the noodles weren’t as soft as I liked them but that was totally my fault since it does give you the option on how you want your noodles cooked. Overall the food and flavoring was absolutely amazing and I cannot wait to come back again in my next coming trip.

Located on the bustling streets of NYC downtown, Ichiran promises an authentic journey into the heart of Japanese cuisine. As an avid enthusiast of ramen, I ventured into this cozy establishment with high expectations, and I was not disappointed. Upon entering, the ambiance immediately transports you to the lively streets of Tokyo. The decor is minimalist yet inviting, with traditional Japanese accents adorning the walls. The bustling sounds of the kitchen further enhance the authentic dining experience. I opted for the Tonkotsu Ramen, and it was nothing short of sublime. The broth was velvety and packed with umami goodness, while the noodles had the perfect chewiness to complement the dish. Topped with tender slices of chashu pork, and a medley of fresh vegetables, every spoonful was a culinary delight. Me being an Indian, I chose spice level 6 which was too much for me. So I will suggest to go for 3-4.

I love ramen it’s one of my comfort foods. This was delicious everything was fresh and the noodles themselves were perfect. They have different choices of how well you would like your noodles cooked as well as the spice level. Definitely get the egg in the shell it’s a nice soft boiled adds the extra richness! 10/10 definitely worth the wait!

Great ramen spot. Good to eat alone or with one person but not groups since it’s booth/cubicle style. Everything is included in the price, so NO TIPS which is fabulous. Thank you! I wish more restaurants did this.

A must visit if you love good ramen and a different experience. I ordered the vegetarian ramen with seaweed, mushrooms and scallions. Taste and portion are on point. The wait was around 20 minutes. Once you enter you need to place your order through a kiosk and pay. You get to select the thickness, spice level (1-20) etc. if you like spicy I'd recommend you order 7+. Once you're done, they seat you in booths. These folks are professionals in all aspects. I'd highly recommend this place for the experience, food and the ambiance.

Friend recommend me that place saying it was the best ramen she ever had. Well, i wouldn’t say that but it was really good! But the best part is atmosphere and the vibe of this place! I really loved it! Nice staff as well. It can be really busy and you can wait in a line a bit but I was lucky enough and it was quite empty. Anyway 10/10, go for it!

Definitely one of the best ramens i have ever had. The texture, spice level, soft noodles, meat everything is top notch on top of that you have your own booth where you can eat and enjoy every bit of your food. Absolutely best We had to wait for like 20 mins bit totally worth it Per person costs come around 25 to 30 Beer is expensive around 9 Suoer easy menu, quick service, order on ipad. To top it off we tried matcha pudding as well it was also really really good. Love it Its a must visit in nyc

Fantastic! Ramen is all about two things. Broth and noodle. Ichiran locks both down. Tried vegetable ramen, and their signature. Both broths were excellent in a sense that is not too heavy and clean taste. Noodles tasted fresh as well. You order in front, wait for your table and all is done right in front. Took only a few min before the order comes out. Very fun individual setting experience just like ones in Japan. NO TIPS!
