Gosh I love this place. While I like restaurants with upscale atmospheres and highly attentive service as much as the next guy, the food is the real draw here. Cozy all around. Fun fact (that I have not thoroughly fact checked): Brookline has more ramen spots than Dunkin Donuts. And this is the best one!! read more

Ganko ittetsu ramen is a small, no frills but cute space! The table seating space is quite limited which I think can cause the long lines but they have you order ahead which I think helps with the wait times and turn over is pretty quick. They have a few different type of ramen, so you have some options for which suit your palate. The noodles were perfectly bouncy, not over done. The Chasu pork was flavorful and tender, The broth was rich and velvety but a touch on the salty side for me, adding a squeeze of lemon balanced it out nicely. Overall it was great and will definitely be coming back. read more

Ganko Ittetsu Ramen - Gankara miso - Ramen Near Me - Brookline, Massachusetts

Came here for dinner on a weeknight and the place was decently busy - we waited a bit to get seated, but it wasn't too long and we got a spot by the entrance. This restaurant is located in a small almost mall like area so it's not like waiting was uncomfortable. The menu has a good selection of ramen, but I personally thought the prices were a bit steep for the quality and portion size of food. Nonetheless, it came out quickly enough and tasted fine - authentic enough overall. I probably wouldn't come back if I had a choice, but I'm also not a huge ramen fan. The water refills also weren't great which was unfortunate given the amount of sodium in every bowl. Nonetheless, this is a solid ramen spot, but not somewhere I'd probably come back to. read more

I've wanted to try this place for a long time. It's in the heart of brookline and is always packed and has great reviews, so I was pretty excited going in. Unfortunately, my experience didn't quite live up to the hype. I ordered the Gankara Miso. The chashu was easily the highlight, very tender with nice seasoning on the outer layer and clearly well prepared. The ground beef had some decent flavor, but overall it didn't really add much to the bowl. The broth was thicker and creamier than I expected for a miso, it reminded me more of a tonkotsu and while it had some heat, it was surprisingly lacking in depth. Outside of the spice, there wasn't much flavor coming through, which was disappointing given how rich it looked. I really wanted to love this spot, especially after waiting so long to finally try it. I might give it another shot and try a different bowl in the future, but based on this visit, I left feeling underwhelmed. read more

I've been here a couple times and every time it is SOO good and reliable. Service is super fast, and guests can't really sit around and chat at the tables but the food is worth it. Last time, I got the tan tan ramen with the spicy chili oil on the side and it was delicious. I loved that I could customize the spice level. The gyoza are also delicious. Reasonably priced as well. I'd highly recommend! read more

Everywhere I travel, I always look for a good ramen spot, so when I saw this place had one of the highest ratings in Boston, I was really excited to try it. I came straight here after my flight landed, and it was the perfect rainy day for ramen. All the servers were very friendly and helpful, and the space itself is dim and cozy, with a really nice ambiance. I liked that I was able to eat alone, since there were so many other solo diners as well. You check in and order with the hostess before going inside, which was very efficient. I already knew I was getting the spicy miso and karaage, and both were so delicious. The portions were generous, too, and I had a bunch of leftovers, which I took with me and ate later in the evening. read more

Pro tip: click "Join waitlist" from their Google search listing to get a sense of wait time and add yourself. If you're driving, there's a big parking lot behind the building, look for Maruichi parking on maps. The restaurant is inside an old arcade building. The host calls out your name from the waitlist and you put in your order with the host at that point, so be ready. Then you are seated and they bring you your order. We got the karaage extra crunchy with the garlic ponzu sauce to share and I took a chance on trying the new Yuzu Kosho ramen. The karaage came out hot and freshly fried, it was very crunchy and juicy and the sauce was flavorful, I found myself dunking each bite. The yuzu kosho didn't hit for me in terms of broth flavor, as the citrus notes with the spice didn't quite seem to work for me. But the components were high quality with good noodles, tender and flavorful chashu, tasty menma, and a perfect ajitama. I'll be back, but will stick to the more classic shoyu or miso ramen, I liked the Shoyu 1910 better last time. read more

My brother took me here for a yummy bowl of ramen. This is a very small restaurant with a small menu which is perfect for me who can be indecisive when there are too many items to order from. ***Note: per my experience and observation, there is no line. We were waiting in line but then others came and cut in front of us to order with the hostess. It seem like it's first come first serve. Your order is taken by the host at the front before you are seated. If you're ready to order then go up to hostess. Our party of 5 was seated at the front window and we ordered the following: 1. 2-Gankara miso: The spice level was perfect for my 12yo but I still added more pepper powder as I like my noodle spicy. The broth is very flavorful. There is a good amount of ingredients and the pork slices were very soft. The noodles was not overcooked as it was nice and chewey. 2. 2-Miso: My brother and 10yo son enjoyed their bowl. 3. Karai shoyu: Hubby says it was good but a little on the salty side and it did not have veggies. 4. Kaarage chicken and I asked for extra crispy. It comes with a side of yummy sauce that is not too sweet but has a hint of tartness. The chicken was very moist chicken but not crispy as I had ordered. We all enjoyed this greatly. To be honest, I'm not used to the 1st come 1st serve having people cut in line while I'm looking at the menu but it works for the business and the locals. The restaurant was very busy but everything seem on point with their business process making it run very smooothly. I would definitely return next time I'm in town to try the other ramen bowls. read more

We came here for lunch on a Thursday and there was no wait at all. It's in the Coolidge Corner Arcade which is a cute old school building with a bunch of barber shops and stuff. Of note, the farmer's market across the street starts at 1:30pm on Thursdays, so we actually were not able to find parking in the past when we tried to come here on a Thursday. This time we were able to get there early enough to find parking in the paid lot. The restaurant is small and I could imagine it getting a cramped if more people were there. My husband got the gankara miso and I got the sapporo shio and we both enjoyed our ramen. This is probably close to as authentic as it gets here in the states. We've had better in Japan and maybe in NYC in the past, but it the broth was really good. I think I prefer the straight noodles sometimes available in craft ramen places over the normal ramen noodles offered here. The karaage was also delicious and I really liked the dipping sauce. They sell cute shirts/sweatshirts/aprons here and I was kind of tempted. The AC or roof was leaking a little so a little water was dripping on my husband's back (his back was towards the shirt/sweatshirt displayed on the wall) but not enough to bother him enough to say something. Overall, I would come back if I'm in the area, but probably not make the trek here from the suburbs. However, I'm generally not a huge fan of ramen, so take what I'm saying with a grain of salt. This place deserves 4-5 stars for its ramen. read more

I was so excited to try Ganko Ittetsu, but ultimately I don't think it ranks as highly for me as other Boston ramen places. I came here relatively early on a Saturday evening (probably around 5/5:30pm). We checked in online probably 5-10 minutes before showing up, but still had to wait about 15-20 mins to be seated. It's a tiny restaurant, but they do a good job moving people through. I would peruse the menu before showing up, because they took our orders right when we checked in at the hostess stand. I came with two friends and we all got the gankara miso and shared a gyoza. My bowl was tasty, but I'm not sure if it was anything standout compared to other ramens I've had. The bowl is big, but I felt that all of the toppings (the Napa, beansprouts, and seaweed) somewhat overpowered the broth and the noodles. The chashu was a bit tough and could have had more flavor. Likewise, I thought the spice was present in the broth but not the deep umami that comes from miso paste. It could've been I got an off bowl, so I'd be willing to try again. But, I do think there are better bowls of ramen that you can get much more quickly around the city. read more

Rating: 4.5 Came back to again since I was in boston area. I was sad that they closed providence location while back and has not been able to visit since then. When we got here it was busy but we only had to wait about a minutes before being seated. It's a very small shop located in old arcade plaza with only few seatings. They take your order before you get seated so that they can serve you food right away. I got the tan tan men with ajitama and chicken gyoza. The tan tan men was good as i remembered. Perfectly cooked firm noodle paired with sesame based broth pairs very well. You get the flavor of sesame and pork broth with hint of cilantro. Gyoza was also nice and crispy with juicy inside. Paired well with vinegary sauce. Service was quick and efficient. We were in and out in about 20-30 minutes. Overall it's good and still one of my favorite ramen spot in the area. read more

There are only a handful of ramen places in Boston that I think are top tier and this one definitely makes the cut for me, especially their Shoyu 1910 ramen which is a traditional light shoyu and dashi based broth. I honestly can't fully describe how flavorful and rich the broth tastes. The noodles were also perfectly cooked and the chashu pork was so tender and would break apart upon contact with my chopsticks. The presentation is also absolutely beautiful (as pictured). The restaurant is pretty small and you need to get on a wait-list to get seated by the wait is definitely worth it. There are also many cool stores to hang out at in the area while you wait. read more

Come for the ramen, stay for the fried chicken. What we got: Karai Shoyu (spicy shoyu) Gankara Miso (spicy miso) EXTRA-crispy karaage with garlic ponzu Usually, ramen places excel at the broth and fall short with the chashu and add-ins. However, Ganko's broth fell short. Both the miso and shoyu were under-salted. The spicy shoyu broth was also very fatty, which overwhelmed the flavors. I had to ask for soy sauce to add. The noodles, charsu, ground pork, menma, and other ingredients were perfect, though. The outstanding dish was the karaage. How do you go wrong with extra-crispy fried chicken? It came out piping hot. Perfectly cooked, juicy, tender - I already want more. The garlic ponzu was a nice juxtaposition from the fatty ramen. The staff are very friendly and efficient. You order before seating. When a table is available, they seat you, and your order is sent to the kitchen. Dishes come out reasonably fast. The restaurant is small. In the interior, the music is a bit loud, maybe to make you eat faster, but it can make it hard to have a conversation. I wish it was a bit quieter. Overall, the ramen wasn't perfect, but it was close. When I return, I will try one of the clear broth ramen and, of course, an order of karaage. read more

I LOVE this spot! By far the most authentic ramen in Boston, and possibly that I've ever had. Everything is cooked fresh and made perfect each time--they've really perfected their flavors and have it down to a science so that each bowl captures a depth of unique flavor you can't count on. Even with their popularity, service is fast and the vibes are chill. I can't stop craving this ramen with its bouncy noodles and delectable broths!! read more

Came in during a non-busy time. Got the shoyu ramen. The broth was lacking depth and salt, but it was the right color. The bamboo, egg, and noodles were delicious. The chashu pork was especially good. I'm surprised they have two different shoyu ramen options. The cheaper one I think feels more like a traditional shoyu because it has a clear, soy sauce broth. I think the reason I can't give this place five stars is because of general cleanliness. The bar that I sat at had a long, curly, blonde hair that was not wiped up before I got there. I was staring at that as I was slurping up my soup. The waitress was friendly, though. Very efficient service. I think I'm gonna give this place one more try, see what else is on the menu and such. read more

Don't come here unless you're ready to become a regular. I wandered in on a random Friday in September, and now I find myself going with friends at least every other week. It's that good. The unique layout of the Coolidge Arcade Building provides such a cool atmosphere when both waiting to be seated and eating here, and it's just a 3-minute walk from the Coolidge Corner stop on the Green Line. I've tried a few things on the menu, yet always find my way back to the Tan Tan. It's the perfect balance of heat and has just enough spice to get a little nose-drip action without overpowering the flavorful broth. The staff is always friendly and helpful, especially if it's your first time navigating the ordering process. Safe to say I'm hooked! read more

Lives up to the hype! The Tan Tan ramen was rich and creamy as advertised and had a slight kick to it. It would have been nice if they added more ground pork to it though. The restaurant ran like a well-oiled machine--I was in and out in less than 20 mins. Will return to try some of their other options! read more

Ganko Ittetsu Ramen - Menu as of 9/28/25 - Ramen Near Me - Brookline, Massachusetts

Based off these other reviews, we must have come on a bad day! The first thing to note is the discrepancy between the estimated wait time and actual. We went around 4pm and were given a 25 minute wait and told we would be texted when to come back. We never received a text. When we returned after 25 minutes, we still waited another 15 minutes before getting any updates; a new staff member there started calling parties' names so we could have very easily lost our spot in line had we continued waiting for a text message. We were asked to order before even being seated. We were expecting to be blown away by the ramen itself given the small menu and amazing reviews, but it was average. The noodles were a good texture, broth good, but toppings lacking. We also ordered the kaarage which did not come out until 25 minutes after we finished the ramen. One staff member offered to make the kaarage complimentary when another had already had us pay for food we didn't receive. The staff did not seem to communicate. Since we took the chicken to go, we didn't try it until getting home. The first few bites were great until we saw that the chicken was slightly pink. To make matters worse, it seemed like the kitchen was having issues with turning on the stove. We came right before this issue and were able to receive our food while others it seemed were turned away, and those seated had to wait quite a while for their food. Overall, it was not worth the hype. The prices were good, but if you are going to wait you might as well go to Mecha down the street for more seating, larger menu with better food albeit more expensive. read more

~First Impressions~ This is a small restaurant inside the Coolidge Corner Arcade. There are always a lot of people lined up waiting for this restaurant. The interior isn't the most eye-catching, but definitely a small hidden gem in Coolidge, especially with the recent rise of other Japanese restaurants in the area. ~The Food~ I had the Kara-age as an appetizer and it was truly extra crispy and juicy. The pieces were also big with a good amount of meat and definitely filling. As the main I had the Gankara Miso. The presentation was nice with fresh bean sprouts sitting on top of a spicy thick broth. The egg also is soy sauce flavored/infused, not like the typical boiled egg some places give. The chashu meat was good but I thought it was slightly cold? The soup was nice and warm on a cold and rainy night and I love myself a good soup. ~The Logistics~ There is a big parking lot in the back of the restaurant and also plenty of metered street parking and free 2-hour parking in the side roads. The lines are fairly long with limited seating, so I would make sure to allot the proper time to go here, especially on a weekend. read more

First of all, I just want to note that I initially came to this place SEVEN YEARS AGO. I was on vacation with my family and we stopped in here. The ramen was SO GOOD that when I started planning a trip to Boston with my best friend I knew I had to go back.

This hidden gem is truly hidden. We had a hard time finding it since the signage outside is not great. It's located inside a building with some other shops. Make a reservation ahead of time if you can because they are busy! Also, we were not expecting to place our order at the host stand even though we were dining in. I guess that is how they get people in and out so quickly. We tried two different ramens and both were outstanding. The broth had so much umami and the ramen noodles were the perfect texture. We also got the kaarage which was delicious. Portions were plenty. Highly recommended. read more

Overrated. The ramen is decent, but Boston has better options. It is definitely not worth the wait, which can be an hour or more in the evening, followed by placing your order while still in line, then waiting another 20 minutes just to be seated. Once you finally sit down, the seating is extremely cramped and the service feels rushed, with an average dining time of about 30 minutes. We were told our starters might arrive after the ramen, and when our ramen appeared within minutes of sitting down, we were informed we could not get the starter first. Loud music blasts through the room, seemingly to mask the noise from the tight seating, but it also makes it hard to hear the person you came with. The whole experience felt like the soup thing from Seinfeld, except the soup is not good enough to justify the inconvenience. read more

Hidden Gem! This restaurant is inside the Coolidge Corner Arcade building in Brookline. For a non-local - I had no problem finding it! Tip: Pop this location onto your Apple Maps in walk mode and you'll find it easily. The place is small but a must go spot for ramen. They have several high and low tops for seating. There is a parking lot behind the arcade where you can pay to park or do street parking. I never have an issue with parking in this area so that was a plus. It's worth the wait and service is super quick! Steven at the front is always such a sweetheart. He's hospitable, gave a great suggestion for my spicy acquired taste, and always quick to help. I listen to Steven and got the Karai Shoju spicy ramen and it was delicious. The ramen even tasted great after heating it up the next day and I'm very selective with heating up leftovers. I added an extra egg and garlic in mine. Yum! They have the best ramen in this area. Before I knew it....I'm literally back getting a take out order as we speak, writing this review! read more

This is a solid ramen place. The reason why it's a 3-star is because it didn't stand out from the other Boston Ramen places. The broth was flavorful , as with others. It's popular, and because of it, there is a quick turnaround for tables. My favorite was the garlic ponzu sauce that came with the chicken Karaage. I can drink that! The chicken karaage itself was just "ok", despite it being one of their most popular dishes. read more

Un-real....that's all I have to say. We've tried almost every ramen place in Boston's and this still remains at the top. The staff creates a warm and welcoming environment and their dishes are off the charts. Highly recommend to all! read more

When in the area, we know the food here is always consistent for us. We got here for an early dinner, the karage is phenomenal, wish it came with 4 pc haha but it's great we usually go with the Korean chili dipping sauce. The ramen we get i usually go for the tantan with spicy garlic. The noodles always have a nice chew, broth isn't overly thick but rather creamy (how we like it) and the flavor depth has a nice balance between saltiness and creaminess. I usually get crunchy garlic on the side to add on top. Definitely filling, i like the bowls they serve your ramen in, makes it easier to eat and less messy. I prefer to sit on the outside area of the ramen shop, less stuffy to me. Service, they usually take your order before you're seated, so when you sit, you just wait for your food. There is a public restroom, take the ladle on the host counter and go around the left side of the shop into the hallway of the plaza. Will be back around when the craving kicks in read more

While on a work trip, I was recommended this ramen spot that was a short walk away and looking at the reviews on Yelp - we had to go check it out. Located inside of a large co-space building shared with other small businesses... big parking lot area with plenty of parking. Walking into the building, this was a very small spot with only 10ish tables. We got there right on time too because after we put our name down - a huge wave of people came in. This place gets a huge wait. Quoted 20mins to sit, but took about 30mins. When you're called, you actually order before you sit.. wish they had told us this so that we could have looked at the menu in advance and been prepared. Instead, we felt very rushed and pressured to order... so we asked what was the most popular and was guided to the spicy ramen, so we each got that and an order of the gyoza to split. I honestly was pretty turned off by the experience so far... but then when we sat and the food came, everything turned around. It was delicious. Not the best ramen I've ever had, but definitely in my top 5. The noodles were perfect, I like them al dente and thin... but not too thin. The broth was a perfect balance of spicy and tasty. 5 out of 5 easy! The gyoza had a good pan fry and dough was the perfect thickness. Flavor spot on, another 5 out of 5. This place was so good we debated coming back here all 3 days we stayed... we didn't, but would have if we weren't on a food tour :) Highly, highly recommended if you're in the area! read more

The waitlist can seem a little bit long but it does go by quickly as service is really fast. I personally love the spicy shoyu - it's not a crazy amount of spice. The noodles are cooked perfectly and I love the half egg and vegetables in the ramen that do not get soggy in the broth. Overall 5/5 and possibly the best ramen spot in Boston! read more

Love ganko Best ramen in Boston . It is so good and flavorful the service is wonderful sometimes the wait is long but it is worth it

As I was inhaling my bowl of Tan-Tan ramen, the review was materializing in my head. I wanted to give them a substantial slap on the wrist for the meager amount of meat, but this was soon forgotten because of how wonderful the experience was. Further, I have a burning desire to return and try something else on their menu. Maybe I was just really hungry, as I was tempted to go ahead and order a second bowl right then and there! I am making good on my resolution so far (~5 lbs down in 3 weeks) so I didn't want to spoil it... plus two bowls may be a little too much sodium in one sitting. Alright, here comes the detail you all know and love: To start, their service has Germanic efficiency! You are given a menu and asked to choose before you are seated! That evening, I opted to go for the Tan Tan. The food came out within 5-10 minutes. Any requests of the service, like extra napkins or silverware were addressed quicker than Popeyes can hand you a sandwich (which is before you're done paying). Now, was the host the most welcoming and pleasant person I have ever dealt with in my years of dining? No. However, I do appreciate that they are relatively small and high volume - thus I rather have a slightly abrupt host if it means I get to put a piece(?) of heaven into my stomach faster! The broth itself was pleasantly savory, and not overly salted. The spicy garlic oil was a wonderful touch of heat and diffused in a most divine harmony with the rest of the broth. Curiously, the noodles were more 'Al Dente' than I'd had in other bowls of ramen. It was interesting, but it did not detract from the experience. Looking at the menu online, the Tan Tan is closer to the 'modern' part of the grid - thus I appreciate this as a creative decision. Speaking of creative decisions, this bowl of ramen was rather simple. There wasn't a tremendous variety of different vegetables, no soft egg either. Tangential to this, there was a small amount of ground pork seasoned to a perfection I can only dream of achieving in my own kitchen. Usually, I would put them through the wringer for skimping on protein. Yet, I happily devoured the entire bowl, and while I could have requested more protein on the side, I didn't feel it was necessary. Sometimes simplicity works wonders, and this was the case here. The portion size is not massive, but the bowl is appropriately large to be comfortably satiated. I think it is just me and my voracious appetite that I felt like going for a second one. The prices also seem reasonable. Thus, while not immune from a little criticism, I did find this place to have terrific ramen! I cannot wait to come back to see what else they offer! read more

This is hands down the best ramen I've tried so far in the area. I'm sure there might be better spots but for now this is the one for me. I've lived in Japan for 5 years and it was almost identical to a lot of Ramen Shops in Japan. There's also, ample parking for all the shops which is a win win. Lets get to the food... Started off with some chicken karaage for my daughter and it was a hit. Very moist chicken meat and she really liked the sauce that came with it because it was sour. The sauce went well with the chicken. I tried the Spicy Miso Ramen and was in heaven. Really enjoyed the miso's flavor and of course had to get an extra Ajitama egg, my favorite lol. The broth wasn't overly spicy and just right. The noodles were cooked to perfection as well. I'll definitely be back to try other ramen dishes. read more
