An absolute gem! Love that you can get authentic ramen/Japanese cuisine in Homer Glen. I ordered the Karaage Shoyu ramen for carry out on a cold and rainy night for some comfort, and it sure delivered. The broth was flavorful, the chicken was crispy, and I loved how the bowl was packed full of toppings like corn, sprouts, and scallion. The noodles are delicious as well. I didn't take a photo because I couldn't wait to eat! Service was great, and food took around average time for carry out. I appreciated how they called me to let me know they were out of a certain tea and provided other options. There were a couple groups dining in when I arrived for pickup. A cute, cozy, casual spot for a yummy bite. I will be coming here whenever I need to get my ramen fix, and looking forward to trying other items like rolls too! read more

The ambience is very nice and welcoming. We ordered the Fried Tofu, Tonkotsu Ramen, Dan Dan Noodle, and egg rolls. The fried tofu was my favorite dish here. It was delicious! It was nice a crispy on the outside and soft and creamy on the inside. It had a wonderful flavor. I loved it. The Tonkotsu was good. It had good flavor. I have had better though at other places. It was also warm and not hot. I can't review the Dan Dan Noodles because I did not try it since it's spicy and I don't like spicy foods. The eggs roll were good. Simple crispy, and good. The waitresses were very attentive and nice. This place was good, but I have had better. It's worth a try. read more

The food was delicious! Ginger salad, aac roll, and Godzilla roll were all absolutely amazing. Reasonably priced. However, service was a little slow and the waitress didn't seem too happy to be there. But cute decor inside. Would go back again just for the rolls. read more

I liked the Mexican sushi roll with avocado. And crab rangoon. But the Dan Dan ramen stole the show. It's absolutely phenomenal. Delicious.

I came here with my boyfriend since we had a craving for a nice ramen place. It seems like the restaurant main dishes are rolls and ramen. The seating inside is small, but quiet. We came around 7ish and there was enough seating for the two of us without waiting. Between us, the bill was about $120 with two bottles of sake, ramen, three rolls and two beers. It is definitely a nice low-key kind of place without the fuss of loud music and a large menu. The service was good too! Very attentive. read more

I had a taste for Ramen, and this place appealed to me based on the Yelp reviews. It did not disappoint!!! I ordered to go but when I went to pick up my order I realized I had made a big mistake and I should have dined in. The restaurant was, modern, open, clean and inviting. I ordered the Dan Dan noodles, egg rolls and pot stickers. The Dan Dan noodles were amazing, with much flavor coming from the stir fried ground pork, with the hot chilies, sesame sauce, and scallions. The eggrolls were light and airy. They were actually the spring rolls, deep-fried. Yummy to my palate! The potstickers I didn't eat until the next day, but they were bursting with flavor. This place gets 4 thumbs up! Excellent food and great ambience I will return for the dining experience so I can give a critique on the service. read more

It was my first time at Ichiban ramen and since my friend is a pescatarian, we decided to omit meat for our lunch. Atmosphere is so pretty and staff was nice and friendly. Since I speak Mandarin, we were able to communicate and they were so nice. We ordered the Agedashi tofu appetizer and it was so delicious with the house sauce. The fried tofu was crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. The sauce was light and savory. I got the vegetarian ramen and tuna roll and both was fresh and delicious. My friend loved her shrimp tempura udon. I will definitely go back again just for their 1/2 ramen + 1 sushi roll lunch special. If you're in the neighborhood and crave ramen, I highly recommend Ichiban for both the food and the atmosphere. I hope to bring my hubby there so he can also try their sushi and ramen. I'm sure he will love it as well! read more

Love the service here! We go all the time as a family and my girls love the Ramen here!

I took my granddaughter for her birthday. There were four kids and three adults. I got the bill. They charged me 18% service charge when I question what the service charge was, and if it goes to the server, the server was very timid and said she didn't know. So I asked for the manager or the owner neither were in, but a lady behind the counter called the owner and the owner said it split between the servers which I highly doubt because they were very secretive about giving that information. I've been here many times not with a big group but if you go there with six or more question that 18% surcharge and where does it go to? I think it goes to the owners. I go to many restaurants and I tip very well but I'm not gonna screw a server out of a tip, but the owners are taking 18% out of my bill. This needs to be addressed not only at this place, but there are other places similar to this that when you walk in the door that's an automatic 18% surcharge this needs to stop and make sure that the servers are getting what they deserve. Thank you. read more

Fantastic Raman the Dan Dan is my favorite. Full of flavor and just the right amount of spice.

Well above average kitchen for a suburban Japanese stop. I trust them. Top line: quality kitchen and clean bathrooms. Perhaps not all the staff members are not equally enthusiastic, but everyone is nice enough. read more

Food was tasty, price average for ramen. Service was good and the decor clean and modern. My only complaint was the price of a pot of tea, it was a bit pricey, I went with a friend and we were both charged for a pot and we split one. It was confusing. read more

Nice little place with excellent sushi & shrimp/veggie tempura. The Spicy Angel Roll is to die for but all the rolls we have had were lovely and fresh. Wasn't crazy About the fried squid; it was not light & crispy like their lovely tempura but more traditional breading, bit overcooked. Ramen is fine; the pork isn't as luscious at some other places nor is the broth so I focus on other items. My friend had chicken yakitori which was a little different; I guess usually it's thinner slices on skewers and this was big generous chunks but I liked the one I tasted. The owner is super nice and all the servers are too. read more

Service was a little slow at the beginning but honestly the team was so kind and attentive, just a small team at a busy time. Food was great and we all enjoyed our dishes and drink! 2 of the 4 of us voted the beef yaki udon as our favorite. We also got seafood ramen, beef noodle, and dan dan noodles. The dan dan noodles at Ichiban are very brothy. Still good, just different from the way other places might make it. Not pictures are the takoyaki and crab rangoons. The takoyaki wasn't our favorite but that was just preference. We demolished the rangoons! My mom ordered the Thai iced tea and liked it. If we lived closer we'd for sure come back! read more

Good experience! Two vegetarians here and we got the veggie miso ramen and it was very good! The agedashi tofu, however, was probably one of my favorite dishes I've had in years. It was like $5 for three big pieces of tofu in some incredible sauce and I'll likely come back and get 3 orders of just that for dinner. So good. read more

Afters months of searching for a new sushi spot, I somehow ended up ordering from here, I'm glad I did! Placed a takeout order, the food was almost ready in 20 minutes. All of the food was fresh, boxed nicely. I couldn't believe the quality when I got home. After several horrible recent sushi experiences, this place has set the bar high! The Yakisoba Noodle with chicken was delicious. The crab ragoons were giant compared to many places. The sushi rolls were awesome. Couldn't have asked for a better takeout experience. I'd highly recommend checking this place out. I will definitley be coming back very soon. Compliments to the Chef, great food! read more

My partner and I stumbled upon this spot on a cold and snowy December evening and were soooo impressed! Having moved from the city with ample ramen options, we had been on the hunt for a solid ramen joint in the south suburbs. We came on a Thursday evening and were seated and waited on immediately. While we were there, there was one other couple eating, and about a dozen to go orders processed -- we were pleased to see them busy. The food was phenomenal. We started with the crab rangoons, which were cooked/fried to perfection and were a tremendous serving size. We then both had ramen. I had the Miso Ramen (with meat) and my partner had the Yakisoba Ramen with fried chicken. Both were very good and again, generous serving size. We threw some spice in there, and it was delicious. Given the size of the portions we found the prices to be spot on. If you ever find yourself in the area, be sure to stop in! We hope to be back soon. read more

If you love boba and ramen, you'll become a regular here! We've been wanting to check out this place for a while, and decided to stop here after a dentist appointment next door :) We ordered the Dan Dan ramen, Hawaiian style poke bowl, and a Thai iced tea with boba. It was all absolutely delicious. The food looked exactly like the picture in the menu, was fresh, rice in the poke bowl was seasoned perfectly, the ramen noodles were chewy and delicious, and the broth was really flavorful (and spicy!). I love this place so much already and we are already planning on when we'll be back. There were a couple to-go orders while we ate. They have a decent indoor dining area - perfect for either a quick lunch or a nice dinner. The menu has enough of a variety without being overwhelming. The bathroom was extremely clean, and the seating area was as well. Service was very friendly. It felt like a lot of love goes into this place - definitely a local gem. read more

The BEST ramen spot in the south suburbs of Chicago. Before finding this place, I use o have to go up to the city to get passable ramen but Ichiban delivers on the flavor. My usual is the tonkatsu but I occasionally get the shio ramen if I want something lighter. Love the noodles and the toppings are very good as well. Right before the pandemic, we hit this spot up before everything closed down. When we felt more comfortable to dine in again, this was the first place we went to. I also usually order the takoyaki as well and it's just as good as the ones I ordered back in SoCal: tasty and piping hot on the inside. Service is pretty good. We've gone here quite a few times and the waitress remembers us. One time, she even asked us if we even needed the menu since we've become regulars! Prices are pretty fair for a bowl of ramen and sides. If you want actual good ramen in the south burbs, go here. Most other places don't compare.

Ichiban Ramen is local and wonderful. Small but tasteful in an unassuming little strip mall. Never had a problem with parking. Staff is polite and helpful.

Disclaimer: I'm a vegetarian, I do not eat fish or any other type of meat. Therefore, please take this review with a grain of salt as I did not personally eat any of the non veggie items. To add, there are not a lot of vegetarian items on their menu. The vibe is definitely low key. I prefer a bit of a classy ambience, but you get what you get here. The staff, however, was so sweet! Although it took them a good 10 minutes to acknowledge my family of 6, once they did they were very accommodating and friendly. My husband went with the Spicy Mayo Poke bowl. He ate it quickly, and I wish there was more of it for $15. My daughter went with the Miso Ramen and said it was absolutely delicious. The portion size was adequate. My eldest son ordered the eel roll with miso soup. That was devoured rather quickly. I ordered the Vegetable Noodle Ramen along with Vegetable Fried Rice. Enh, the noodles were nothing to write home about. Half of it was cabbage. Yuck. I'll stick to my cheap ramen package using vegetable broth, thank you. The Vegetable Fried Rice was not saturated in oil, which was a nice reprieve. However, the portion size was not large and the carrots looked old. My children and husband enjoyed the food, which is all that really matters, I guess. However, I'll stick with other cuisines when it is my turn to choose the type of cuisine we want. read more

Very good sushi, with great ramen and friendly service. Interior is clean and welcoming. No delivery.

Ramen looks great. Sushi is pretty terrible. Ordered 2 special rolls. Dragon roll was super bland and watery, which was very weird. Summer roll was okay but 5 average size pieces with below average amount of shrimp. It was just a pout half the size of the normal rolls and nearly twice the price. I'd previously had the poke bowl and that was okay, and the octopus balls were good. Sushi is two-star - make sure to pass on it. read more

This place was formerly named Wow Sushi. They closed for a while and reopened as Ichiban Ramen. Good sushi is hard to come by and this was our favorite place. That's not the case anymore. Full disclosure - we didn't order any ramen, just sushi. Very disappointed with the quality in all the rolls we ordered (Spicy Tuna, Volcano, Sweet Potato, Pink Lady and Crunch roll). Several rolls would fall apart the second you tried to pick it up. So you were basically eating the roll deconstructed. The rolls that did stay together didn't really have anything to make you want to eat it again. Would like to give them another shot to try the ramen bc I'm all about supporting local business, but will likely be in search of a new sushi spot. read more

My husband and I tried this restaurant for the first time yesterday. Was recommended by a friend and had take out due to COVID-19. I had the veggie ramen and my husband had the teriyaki bowl with salmon. We both loved our respective dishes and we've had similar dishes in other restaurants. My veggie ramen came in separate bowls. One for solid and the other for the soup. That's typical. Ramen had a lot of veggies: shredded cabbage and carrots, broccoli, shoots, bean sprouts and corn. The soup was very good. It all tasted very fresh and not overly salted (but not bland either). Soup was not spicy at all. So, if you like spicy broth, this is not for you. I normally don't finish a whole bowl of ramen, but this one I did. Not sure if I was just so hungry or it was just that good. The teriyaki bowl with salmon was good. However, much smaller than I'd hope. It was a 3oz salmon + maybe 6 pieces of veggies and a cup of cooked white rice and that's it for $14.95. Good but unsure of the value. As for service, they were pretty busy and staff seemed nice but after telling us an eta of 30min over the phone, our food wasn't ready. They even said they'll call if there was any changes which they didn't. Even after arriving at the restaurant and being told the food should take about 5 more minutes, we ended up waiting 30 more minutes in actuality. And not an update or sorry from anybody for the wait. read more

Let's talk RAMEN!! I have eaten at so many places in different states and have rarely seen the care and attention to detail of Ichiban! Wah is an amazing person who tries to constantly improve on the dishes they make. The Tonkatsu Ramen has delicate slices of roasted pork with thin ribbons of fat that melt in your mouth. The marinated soft boiled egg is just a powerhouse of complex flavor and the fish cake is just awesome. Their Dan Dan Noodles have the perfect amount of spice paired with delicious ground pork. It's so hard to choose which to order! They also make the absolute best Crab Rangoons! 4 Large triangles jam packed with the perfect mix of crab, cream cheese and scallions! The service is second to none and the price is unbelievably low! I would pay 3 times the price for a meal this good! You can't go wrong! read more
