Honestly, this place is all about the experience—the private cubicle and unique setup. The ramen itself was nothing special, but the worst part was the price. The basic bowl only comes with noodles and broth—no meat, crab cake, egg, or any of the typical add-ons...Read More

A very unique Japanese style dinning experience, had a vegetarian Ramen, the hot sauce had a burst of spicy flavors. Perfectly located at walking distance near NYC transportation hubs. Would visit again.

I would go here every day if I could, but sadly that can't be. The amazing thing about Ichiran I'd that you get to choose how you want your ramen, from how spicy, how salty, how rich and the firm the noddles are. Their matcha...Read More

Coming back from Japan, this place does a very good job mirroring the originals all around the tokyo area. The food, style, and environment are wonderful. Only major difference is the normal bowl is $30 which is what you expect in NYC these days. Still great casual,...Read More

This place is awesome. Very authentic and the ramen is delicious. It was slammed busy and we barely had to wait. Any wait is worth it. Our party of 3 had both veggie and classic ramen. Everything was amazing.
