ICHIRAN Ramen NY Times Square - Ramen restaurant in New York - 152 W 49th St, USA

I love ICHIRAN in Japan and was happy to try it in NY. The soup was ok but the noodles were a bit different than in Japan. Over all a nice place but way to expensive! The staff came along a bit rude which isn’t really the Japanese way! I wouldn’t visit this place again because it is overpriced.

My friend recommended this place and I couldn’t be happier with this find. We ordered for Classic Ramen with Asahi the Japanese beer and it was great. I had the veggie option and it was yummy. The whole sitting arrangement was an experience in itself. Completely superb. It’s a must visit place for sure.

Ichiran is famous for its unique Ramen. And they make it only one kind. It also offers vegetarian (which is not an afterthought at other ramen establishments) which is flavorful and one of the best I had in Japanese ramens, i have tried so far in city. You have two options one is regular and other with extra vegetables or items on side. You pay first and sit in chair and then the hot food is delivered to you. Check the below pictures Definitely worth a visit! Also it’s no Tipping establishment.

10/10 the best ramen I’ve ever had. I’m usually underwhelmed by vegetarian ramen compared to its meaty-brothed peers on the menu but the veggie ramen here is absolutely divine (the fact that you can customise it and tweak it to your liking is honestly worth raving about for another paragraph). I’ve never been so addicted to the broth, would recommend it as a cure for every cold winter-y afternoon. I also love the atmosphere that accommodates to solo customers.

I arrived at opening time, yet half of the seats were already taken. This place is bustling! Being Koreans, we opted for level 2 and 3 donkotsu ramen, and level 3 turned out to be quite spicy! My boyfriend and I were thoroughly pleased with the flavorful broth and the delightful matcha dessert. While the prices aren't low, it's definitely worth a try. Good for party of 1 !! (혼밥러 추천!!)

This is one of three Ichiran restaurants in America. You order at the counter then wait to be seated in thus Japanese style Ramen restaurant. This was the best Ramen I've ever had. The service was great! It's a tad bit spendy but well worth it

Although I didn't try Ichiran when I was in Tokyo, but I was so so happy to finally try this delicious ramen directly in Ichiran. I tried their Halal version of Ichiran instant ramen before, but believe me, if you could eat Non Halal foods, do try their Classic Tonkotsu Ramen. It's totally worth to try!!! And just like Ichiran said in the the front store, it is WORTH THE WAIT! Just like us, who had waited for around 15 minutes, finally we got seated with the typical Japanese solo seating booths. They also provide hanger for us to hang our outer or bag, especially during the cold or winter day. We tried their Classic Tonkotsu Ramen with additional toppings as recommended by Ichiran 😁 A bowl of thick and straight noodles with tender pork, boiled egg, seaweed, green onions in a classic Tonkotsu soup that is made with pork bone and rich in collagen along with the spicy red sauce (it tastes moderate spicy). It came up in a huge portion, especially with additional toppings. But it will make us satisfied to the max! Well done, Ichiran! It's totally recommended!!! ❤️

The best Ramen I have EVER had in my life. Disclaimer - I am not a Ramen connoisseur. I have not eaten in the best Ramen shops in Kyushu. But I spend a lot of time in PNW and we have a lot of Ramen options here. There will be waiting. Even though we came early for dinner (5pm), we had to wait about 20-30mins. If you have a group of 1-2 people you will have a chance to get seated sooner. We were 5 and to be seated together, will require seating planning in the tiny space. The Ichiran experience is very unique and I don't want to spoil it here but it's quite cool. How they have a digital seating chart to how they serve you food. We followed their instructions on what to order and what to order. And it is really awesome! I have never eaten a ramen that has such good complementary flavors that blend perfectly. One note - we ordered 2 vegetarian options and they still put meat in it (by mistake). Luckily, the folks who had ordered it didn't mind just removing the meat and eating the rest. We didn't want to waste such good broth. Go early and go in smaller groups. Food comes fast and is so worth it.
