On our way to Sunrise to catch a MN Wild game against the FL Panthers, my wife and I stopped by Naples for lunch and a quick exploration. One of our neighbors used to live in the area and recommended anything in Tin City for lunch. We walked to Tin City from the free parking structure just off 5th Avenue and, while we found the area mildly interesting, we didn't like any of the typical joints along the water. Besides, having eaten at Dockside in Venice the day prior, we were looking for something other than seafood. In looking at Yelp, we were intrigued by Ichi Togarishi so we walked back towards 5th Avenue. Located just off 5th Avenue, this small place would be quite easy to miss. Upon entering, we realized how snug this place was. We were seated promptly and presented the menu. My wife ordered the Chicken Veggie Shoyu Soy Ginger and I had the Chashu Belly Garlic Noodle. We both liked our dishes, with complex, bold flavors. The Chashu belly was tender with sweetness and soy flavor shining thru. Its flavor profile reminded me of Pad Thai. A very nice find in Naples! read more

Had lunch there recently when I visited the town for a race. Definitely the best meal I had there, and my server was one of the best I have ever seen. The restaurant has a large menu featuring different ramen (dry or w/ soup) and rice dishes, as well as appetizers. I tried their steamed vegetable dumplings and the pork ribs dry ramen. Both dishes were fantsastic. It was the first time that I had dumplings filled with endamame+minced garlic. It was savory and slightly sweet. The meat in the ramen was fork-tender and full of umami; the ramen was chewy; and it was served with a wide variety of fresh vegetables (zucchin, broccoli, carrot, onions, green onions, corn, microgreens, pickled ginger). The ramen was ~5oz. PS: the noodles are salty -- ramens are meant to be salty. Service was awesome. Several things that my server impressed me: 1. He asked me about my food allergies -- important for seafood-dense restaurants like a Japanese restaurant. 2. I asked for some extra ramen when I just got the entree. He suggested to bring me the extra when I almost finish the ramen in my entree. Surprisingly, he brought a small bowl of ramen exactly when I was about to finish it -- very precise and customer-oriented. 3. Food was served in a reasonable amount of time. 4. When he was taking the order of another table, he gave recommendations to the customers based on their dietary preferences, instead of blindly mentioning the "signature dishes" like most servers do. Moreover, when the customers ordered food, he squat down to listen what they said carefully. So, yes, I speak highly of this restaurant. Definitely recommend it. And I will dine in it again next time I visit Naples. read more

I've eaten there many times last night was horrible!!! They didn't have what I asked for , they said they called me, but they didn't. They gave me four tiny pieces of baby bok choy not 4 little baby heads 4 individual pieces and a sweet sauce no heat or taste for $15. The vegetarian potstickers were meat !!! I haven't eaten any meat in 45 years I feel completely ripped off read more

Yup, I got it. I found it. We're not talking about an additional (12th or 13th) Italian restaurant but an absolute gem that sets a new standard for thoughtful, high-quality Japanese and Thai-inspired cuisine in Naples. This is not casual fare, this is refined artistry where every dish is executed with precision and passion. Ichi Togarashi totally elevates the entire downtown Naples dining scene!! Our recent meal was a journey of perfect flavor pairings. The Garlicky BokChoy was perfectly sautéed, offering a wonderful texture, while the Asian Coleslaw provided a crisp, palate-cleansing contrast with a vibrant, perfect tang. ANOTHER, highlight of the evening was the Vegan Dumpling Curry Ramen. The broth was a luxurious coconut-creamy curry base that managed to be deeply comforting and perfectly seasoned to let the vegan dumplings shine. The distinction and balance of flavor in every spoonful were truly exceptional. Stealing some of the Curry broth and mixing it with the other dishes was a no brainer!! A special note of praise goes to the highly knowledgeable staff. I had initially planned on ordering two different curry dishes, but our server intervened, advising us to diversify our order to experience the menu's full range. Great expert guidance. it is this level of care and commitment to the diner's experience that sets Ichi Togarashi apart. For quality of ingredients, depth of flavor, and genuinely exceptional service, Ichi Togarashi is now at the very top of my dining list. Finding a place with this caliber of flavor is rare. I'm excited to become a regular here, whether for a quick lunch or another memorable dinner. Seriously, if you love vibrant, authentic Asian cooking, this restaurant is the best discovery I've made in Naples all year. read more

We were driving back from the keys to Tampa and decided to stop along our way in Naples for late lunch. We arrived around 2:15pm on a Monday and it was PACKED. Thankfully, we got the last table available. - Dimsum welcome set: all the dumplings were so delicious - the homemade ones are out of this world and hard to compare. They were all so light and the filling was perfect- the outside was not greasy. - Spicy Chashu and Potsticker Ramen: Let me start off by saying this is the BEST RAMEN I've ever had in my life. It is so flavorful and delicious!!! I cannot recommend it enough. Everything was 10/10 perfect - Pork Bone Broth Ramen: again, the ramen is delicious and filling and perfect! I liked my spicy chashu better because I like the spicy kick but it's all so good you can't go wrong The food is pricey but it's worth the cost. We will be returning when we are in the area read more

Nice small restaurant right off of 5th Ave with flavorful cuisine. Service was kind and reasonable timing on the food. Great spot to check out when in Naples. I recommend calling ahead to try to reserve seating if possible but we were luckily able to walk in and get seating. The food I got was chicken and shrimp Thai curry for $27.5 I would not recommend getting it if you want shrimp and instead just get the chicken because they only have me 3 shrimp which was not worth the extra cost. My two friends got chicken Thai curry $23.5 and house made chashu pork belly $23.5 read more

Ichi Togarashi - Dinner with the girls!!! - Ramen Near Me - Naples, Florida

My girlfriend and I went there on New Year's Eve and the wait time was only around 20 minutes. However, after we sat down we waited an additional 30 minutes for our food to come out. The waiters and kitchen staff were bombarded with online orders. There were multiple costumers who had ordered online and did not get their entire order. One lady ordered five hour ago but still wasn't able to pick up her food at the scheduled time. Another guy waited 50 minutes and got his order but was missing half of the food, he was demanding a full refund when we were leaving. All in all, food was good, not great, and really pricy for the quantity and taste. read more

I would eat here 5 days a week if my husband let me. I dont know where to start!! Dumplings and shumai, tender noodle with a very slight bite on the outside and very flavorful and great texture on the inside. Ginger Kitchen, spicy beef, soups all excellent. Nice sake selection. I get so excited walking in the front door just knowing my meal will be perfect every time. I like Ichi better than Tong Yin. Last time we went to Tong Yin, we were so disappointed. Disappointed enough to where we will NEVER go back. read more

High price for mediocre food. Had the dumplings - mixed in with some coconut / curry sauce with just 5 dumplings- very pricy for the level of complexity of food. Had the spicy eggplant - very small dish with typical Chinese takeout taste... Crevices- served warm.. dis not use sushi grade food but charge very high price Ramen - is really not ramen. It is a confusing mix of Asian sauce with egg noodles tossed with some seafood (crab and lobster meat pieces). Neither here nor there kind of food. Atmosphere- it is nice and quiet. Don't understand the picture in the bathroom, it is a picture of somewhere in Italy...not sure how the whole place fit together.. Would not recommend coming here for those whom have been to Asia or Japan, definitely not for Ramen. Would recommend to people that never been to Asia and want a get a feel of it... this is a good starting place read more

This small restaurant tucked off the side of 5th Avenue is a hidden gem! With only 20-30 seats inside, I can imagine it gets full on weekend nights. I went Sunday for an early dinner, and it was not too busy. They only had one staff member waiting tables, yet she did a phenomenal job making sure that at least I felt taken care of. I tried the vegan dumpling curry ramen ($24) which came out in less than 15 minutes. The noodles and broth were hot, and the dumplings were cooked to a soft texture but surprisingly didn't fall apart using chopsticks. The broth was too salty for me to finish completely, but it was creamy and imbued everything with flavor. I love that their menu contains labeled vegan and gluten-free sections. Overall would definitely recommend giving this place a try! read more

Giving 3/5 stars. Food was actually really good. Atmosphere was lacking considering the location of the restaurant We visited on a very hot evening and didn't find the restaurant to be a comfortable temp without AC and especially while eating hot food. Unfortunately this eliminates a star. Tables seemed cramped but the space is not large overall so it's what is necessary to fit more people in. The servers were helpful with finding a vegan option. Menu and prices have changed compared to prior menu postings. I still recommend based on the food. Maybe choose takeout though. read more

This is a great find in downtown Naples for a superb offering of Thai and Vietnamese, executed with care and very great flavor and value$

The food was so amazing I literally don't have words to describe the experience because it was simply that amazing. Every dish had such depth i. flavor and was super authentic the waiter was so excited to tell us about the menu and give us his favorites for what we should order. The staff was super attentive and quick to help with everything. The ambiance is very similar to a mom and pop shop and even though small it's worth the wait on a busy night. We were astonished that they weren't packed with people. If you're in Naples or the surrounding areas and love authentic Asian food this restaurant is a must. read more

I recently dined at Ichi Tagarashi in Naples, and I must say, the experience was delightful. We started with the cucumber salad, which was refreshing and perfectly seasoned--a great opener for what was to come. The Thai creamy potstickers were a hit at our table; they were just the right mix of creamy and flavorful without being too heavy. My kids tried the chicken noodle soup, and they couldn't stop raving about it! It was rich and comforting, definitely a standout dish that I'd recommend for anyone visiting with family. Lastly, the aged beef dish was cooked to perfection and was the highlight of our meal. It was tender, flavorful, and left us all impressed. Overall, Ichi Tagarashi delivered a fantastic dining experience with a menu that excited everyone at the table. It's a must-visit if you find yourself in Naples looking for a meal that promises to delight. Oh and the hot sake was soooo smooth read more

THIS little gem has become our favorite restaurant in Naples. It's just off 5th Ave, walking distance to all the shops.

I love all the vegan options while my friends and family enjoy their meat & seafood dishes. Everyone says the same thing - "SO GOOD!". We always leave completely satisfied and excited to return. read more

Last night we tried Ichi Togarashi for date night. Though I assumed the restaurant was Japanese, it actually is more of a southeast Asian influenced restaurant. The restaurant is small and quaint. Note that I do not think there was air conditioning here, but they had plenty of fans to keep us cool. In short: the food and service was awesome but the ambiance left much to be desired. We were seated at a small corner table that differed from the other (nicer) wood tables. Our waiter got to us immediately and brought waters. There are so many appetizer and small plate options so we asked our waiter for some recommendations. He was from Singapore and recommended the garlic bok choy because it reminded him of home. It was AMAZING! They had to make it with broccoli instead but the flavor was still incredible. With a sweet yet salty-soy flavor with plenty of fried garlic, it would make even a vegetable-hater like broccoli. We also tried the spicy cucumber salad that had many Thai flavors like chili, cilantro, and red onion. For our entrees we had the char sui rice bowl and the Thai spicy beef ramen bowl. While the char sui rice bowl was light and refreshing, the pork itself was dry. The Chinese 5-spice flavor could have been more intense as well. The Thai spicy beef ramen bowl was awesome-- it had used unique Thai spice blend and beef's blood to create a rich broth. Overall, this a great spot for very fresh and authentic southeast Asian cuisine. However, this is a casual spot in an upscale area. I think if we had more casual expectations for date night we would have been more pleased. I'd recommend this spot for a more relaxed evening or for take out! read more

My group had a memorable dining experience here, and I highly recommend it. If you love small plates/dim sum and Asian cuisine done well, this place does not disappoint. We started with a pot stickers sampler and shrimp shumai. The shumai was some of the best I've had. Tip: the regular size portion of soup is quite large. I got the smaller ramen, which was still pretty filling. We enjoyed trying various dishes, and the service was excellent. read more

Both the kimchi salad and korean steak dish were overpowered by the sauce that was also too sweet. Pleasant service.

This is a delicious spot with a huge variety of food. The chef is very nice and I can tell she cares about the work she does. I came here with a group of 5 and we tried many different dishes. As a Korean American, I was excited to see a new Asian restaurant on 5th Avenue. Based on the name, I thought it was going to be a Japanese restaurant. The menu actually has a variety of dishes that pull from many different Asian cuisines - Japanese, Thai, Korean, Vietnamese, Chinese. The flavor profile, I feel like matches the most to Thai - but I think it's safe to say this is more of an Asian fusion restaurant. Some dishes do not taste like the name suggests, which can be confusing to people familiar with those foods - for example, the Pho here has a very different flavor profile than a traditional Vietnamese Pho, and dishes that mention Korean do not taste Korean at all. What concerns me is given that Fifth Avenue and Naples in general is lacking in diversity, the restaurant oversimplifies the flavor profile and complexity of the Chinese, Vietnamese, and Korean cuisine and fits it into a menu that wants to be portrayed differently than the many Japanese & Thai restaurants in Naples - but does not do those cuisines justice. My recommendation to the business is to perhaps educate and explain to the customers the thought process behind the flavors and the menu - that it is truly a fusion restaurant - so that it does not misrepresent those cuisines to a demographic that does not have that diversity in a city like Naples -- simply due to purely by lack of access. The food is delicious and if you enjoy delicious food, I do recommend the restaurant. But to me, food is also culture and there's a story behind every menu - and especially if the menu is pulling from so many different countries' complex histories and flavors - to really do them justice - if the flavor profile is changed significantly - it might be good to give a heads up to the customers that may be you're getting a completely different 'Pho' - which at that point, you have to ask, how differently can you make the broth of the Pho and still call it Vietnamese? Some food for thought! read more

Ichi Togarashi - Dumplings - Ramen Near Me - Naples, Florida

This is by far the best Asian food that I've had in Florida since moving from Seattle.

Amazing food, good mix of both Thai and Japanese. The service was great and the atmosphere of the whole place felt homely and authentic.

The staff was attentive but making people wait 45 minutes past your reservation time means the food should be exceptional. The staff was otherwise okay. And everyone at the table said everything was just "fine" at best. The ramen noodles were chewy, broth was just okay nothing special and very meh for ramen, dumplings were slightly cold, ceviche was not true ceviche, and laksa was served with rice which traditionally it's served with noodles. Overall, I would not wait for 45 minutes to eat here ever again- there are other options for amazing ramen and Asian food and this isn't it. read more

Ichi Togarashi is a little Japanese gem at the entrance of the 5th avenue. The owner is very nice and the restaurant is very little and cute.

Cute, tiny, not begging for me to drop my wallet. I like how they don't try to be futuristic and minimalist like everyone else, they decorate to the max and make every nook and cranny an interesting piece. The waiters weren't overly exciting or anything they did their jobs and did it well. They let the food and ambience speak for itself. Speaking of food, it was great! I got the pork bone ramen with pork. The pork was a little fatty, but oh so tender and it melted in my mouth. The ramen was nicely balanced and didn't feel like a hodgepodge of ingredients, but a dish where every piece is supporting the other. It paired well with the jasmine which came in a pretty pot that fit the vibe. The ginger was good, not too much or too little; it was just enough to give a little spice to the dish. The noodles were good and I loved the broth. My mother was the one who took me, she had a sweeter ramen that tasted delicious as well (though honestly I'd get the pork bone broth again). I got the to-go box and had my ramen for breakfast; honestly, this was the first time I've actually eaten something I took home. I hope more people visit this place. -Pom read more
