Although we got here around 10:30 pm, there was a long line, but they offered take out and yes we did! Just like Japan, you'll get to choose: Noodle texture (I recommend firm) Original spicy red sauce level (I prefer mild) Garlic amount (extra garlic) Richness level (I like rich) Seasoning strength (dashi/saltiness level - I like less salt) Scallions (yes/no - it's a yes for me) Chashu (sliced pork, yes please!) Ichiran is a specialty ramen known for its tonkotsu broth, rich and savory. You can't go wrong coming here and if you haven't been, you have to try it! I promise you, it is life changing. Rich, savory and super comforting. Tip: don't overthink your options on the first visit, you'll be back again and again and customize it to be better than your last experience.

The…read morerestaurant was pretty busy at 10PM on a Tuesday, but we were seated right away in a private little room. It was cozy and I liked the convenient button to call a server. For drinks, I ordered a Passionfruit Iced Tea, which was tasty but a little too sweet for me. For food, I got the Chicken Bao Bun and Chicken Shoyu Ramen. The Bao Bun was just okay, but the ramen was very tasty. The broth was flavorful and the portion size was generous. Service was lukewarm but very efficient! Overall, solid for dinner on Restaurant Row.

We said no problem, she stepped out with us and brought us back in. The small but loudly anime decorated space has small wooden tables and crates below for your items.

Service was prompt, water refilled regularly, and the food was mouth wateringly good. It was so good I am guilty of gluttony. Will return often. No questions.

The sweet potato tempura was really well done, one of my favorite appetizers not too oily but good with beer. The namesake ramen is loaded! So much tempura with soft shelled crab, shrimp, and even the enoki mushrooms! If you're a spice head you'll love it, because it's on the spicier side of ramens in NYC. If not... well good luck at the end. It's a pretty cozy place, so not a lot of seats. Service was good albeit a bit sparse, think 1 person was waiting every table so it was a bit slow at times. It's not my favorite ramen in NY but given the distance to my hotel it was a solid option for party members who want other stuff besides ramen.

I came here for a quick preshow meal but unfortunately it wasn't quite as good as I hoped it would…read morebe. We started with the pork belly appetizer which was recommended and stated on the menu indicating it's their featured dish. It was the biggest disappointment as it was extremely fatty with large chunks of fat, while the lean portions were dry. It didn't look very appetizing. The dumplings were just okay--they had decent flavor but I was hoping for a crispier texture. I ordered the Zebra Ramen. The noodles were cooked perfectly al dente, but the broth was much saltier than I would have preferred. The pat of butter felt unnecessary and made the broth overly rich without adding much depth. The chashu was on the small side and also quite fatty and I assume it's the same as the appetizer but was sliced instead of in large chunks. The marinated egg had good flavor, although the yolk was a little more cooked than I typically like. Another thing is the pork belly appetizer came with an egg. I wish the server would tell us so we didn't have to add it to our ramen with an extra charge. The nori was also completely soggy by the time it reached our table. Overall, the noodles were the only highlight of the meal and the rest were very underwhelming. It's definitely not a place I would recommend.

No complaints, except that I guess I prefer Tonkostu (pork bone) over Paitan (chicken bone). I appreciated sitting at the bar to watch the lone ramen monger stir around the next batches of broth, hand-torching some chashu; boiling, whip-drying, and gently nestling my noodles, then manually laying out the toppings. The dish feels real, personal.
