This ramen was NO JOKE! Simple yet customizable to your liking. Everything was incredible. And don't be turned off by the price - no tipping means the couple extra bucks is going to fair pay! Win/win!

Salih Seckin Sevinc

One of the best ramen I have eaten so far in New York. Flavor concentration personal booths , customizable ramen , no tipping policy is a total experience! Strongly recommend.

Show up late if you want to avoid the longest lines . Last call is at 10:30. And definitely try a Flavor Concentration Booth . The combination of spicy ramen with ice cold Asahi was phenomenal.

Tonkotsu Ramen : The noodles were exceedingly solid. They’re available in varying levels of thickness and doneness, and they’re deposited in a tonkotsu broth a little lighter and silkier than most. Read more

Leah Pilossoph

Can’t go wrong. This is the best ramen place ever. Pro tip: Try firm/extra firm noodles , they continue to cook as you eat the ramen . Don’t over do it with the spicy tare, you’ll miss out on the broth!

Tom

Inconvenient to get to, a little pricier than the comp (especially w/ toppings), but it's simply the best bowl of ramen outside of Japan. Hype seems to have dyed down, no wait for lunch on a weekend

Chris Maliwat

Super simple menu. Perfect.

Iori Hanai

It was the most delicious in the Ramen noodles IThe concept is unique, but the ramen is more delicious than that! Because there are only NY in America, those who come to NY should eat it by all means

Alex Robertson

absurd base price for a bowl of ramen but it's basically the best I've had. Take someone who really likes ramen for a special occasion

Kira

Really delicious foods, great vegan ramen option as well . An experience you don’t want to miss. Great for solo, couples or (if there’s enough seating) group dining.

Jo

The ramen is really good, the broth is very flavorful but it’s pricey for being just noodles , broth, some scallion and a tiny sliver of pork . If you want an egg or any topping, it’s a 3$ add on.

Tony Xerri

You need a few trips to have "the" ramen , meaning everyone's is different. I prefer kicking up the spice level and richness a notch, plus firm noodles . Regardless, it's solid ramen .

Kevin Rickert

This is as close the US is going to get to an authentic Ichiran experience. It is around $10 more expensive here than in Japan, but we take credit cards . It also tastes very close to the Japan chain.

Lauren Downing

Everything is just so perfect and thoughtful. My order: medium broth, scallions , whole garlic clove , standard chashu , medium richness, standard hiden no tare and half portion kae-dama ❤️

Max Perry

The taste was very rich, and liked the firm noodles too. But no eggs until January. They are perfecting their cooking!

Mike Friedman

Don't let the haters deter you: this taste of Japan is worth every penny. 1/2 Kaedama at medium-firmness is the perfect extension.

valerie

Dining alone here just feels right. Just like the ones in Japan (except there's a section for group tables, and it's at least 3x more expensive ).

Matthew Huie

Aside from the fact that it's double the price here, the ramen is pretty close to what you would get at Ichiran in Japan. Don't order the egg , as it's more like hard-boiled egg than nitamago.

Ashot Vardanian

This place is iconic. We waited for an hour to be seated, but it was worth it. There is just 1 type if ramen available and I would recommend making it spicy (5/10).

Sergey Smirnov

The ramen will change your life. Excellent service with the authentic booths . Make sure to add egg .

Peter Ng

The broth here is amazing, one of the few where i said out loud "wow that's good" and drank every last drop. I don't normally do that at ramen joints.

Ale Tower

Second best ramen in town after Ippudo by my standards. The place is huge, I think and hope they're looking to expand in other NYC location.

Vlad

Go to that place not to only eat an amazing and deliiiiicuous ramen , but also for the authentic Japanese experience.

Lucille Butler

Mm, broth was very good and I enjoyed it for the most part, but the price isn't justified, imo. Also, the service wasnt the best. I'd skip this spot and find another ramen shop.

Chris Gampat

Perhaps my new favorite close by ramen experience. Get in there before the line starts.

Mike Johnson

Savory and completely customizable ramen - but at a high price. Overall very glad to have this in the neighborhood !

Ashley Chen

Wait time can vary, best times to go would be around noon on the weekdays

Andre Beauvais

The ramen is delicious be the price is ridiculous. FYI a larger bowl of ramen in Japan would cost 4.00 these guys are running a grift on bushwick hipsters .

Cameron W

Awesome ramen experience. My favorite place so far. The attention to detail for every component is impressive.

D

$18.90 no tipping policy. Still kind of pricey in my opinion but when you're craving it and can't hop on a plane to Japan it's worth it????????

Andrew Mocny

Great ramen , personal booths , very cool

Kim Pham

Get the noodles firm and slurp quickly! Best tonkotsu in town .

Rami Haykal-Manning

Ramen , medium rich, medium spice , spot of garlic , pork and scallions ! Enjoy

Marie La Rue

Ordered on Caviar and the ramen was excellent. Spice levels are the real deal, medium was quite spicy .

Jonathan Moro

Best ramen I've ever had. Better than ippudo .

Ronni

Pricey for a bowl of ramen that is just okay. And if you're looking for the delicious ramen egg , be disappointed. The recommended egg is hard boiled AND cost $3 ????

Jimmy Lu

Although it tastes better in Japan, Ichiran NY still has some damn good ramen . Pricey though.

Eric Ning

A little pricy for ramen , but it's quite close to their shops in Japan. Plenty of table space and solo areas to eat.

Ari

Everything is customizable and aside from the main ramen price, add-ons are relatively cheap

A L E X

Decent ramen . I find Ippudo and Rai Rai Ken to be just as good without the 18 dollar sticker shock. ICHIRAN has beat noodles . You can get good, if not better ramen in Japan for 6 dollars. Go visit!

Brian Moore

Japanese ramen the way it should be. Expensive but worth it for the authenticity .

Chris Gampat

They’re a solid spot but more for the experience than the ramen itself. The ramen isn’t bad. But go for the experience.

Jersey Qiu

Brand name, that’s what’s famous for this place, pricey for noodles without much topping

hugo liu

Tonkatsu egg (tea egg marinated in tonkatsu broth) is a must!

Bjarke Kongstad

Same great concept as in Japan except no machine ordering. Delicious, custom made ramen .

Earn Nicha

The best ramen in NY. I've tried Zundo-ya and Ippudo before.

Pamela Liou

The price keeps me from turning this into a daily staple. Tasty, but I hope the owners realize how their price is affecting their ratings.

Nathan

Their ramen blows every other tonkotsu ramen in NYC out of the water. The hype is real. Pricey , though.

Madelena

This place is like the Internet. You program your ramen , submit the form, the food loads up and you can't see the faces of the OP.

Mike Powers

Best ramen in nyc. Which puts it in the running for best noods worldwide. ????
