The best way to combat the cold?! Spicy ramen! This was our second trip to Hokkaido and we were…read morejust as impressed as the first visit! They have lots of ramen options on the menu, all customizable spice level and the option to add extra ingredients. There was a little wait time, but it was a Friday night around 7pm, so not surprising. The service was awesome! Our server answered all our questions and was quick with orders and refills on drinks. We started with Thai Tea and it was delicious! I love boba and the sweetness of the tea was a perfect combination with the pearls. For my main entree I had the Spicy Hokkaido spice level 3 and it was perfect! I wanted spicy, but not so hot I was hurting. 3 was great for me. They use chili oil, gochujang, and habanero for level 3 so it packs a punch! The overall flavor was delicious with a spicy finish to each bite, especially the broth. We ended with a complementary fried oreo which was as awesome as it sounds. The vibe in Hokkaido is very nostalgic with throwback tunes on the radio and lots of cartoon & anime characters incorporated in the decor. It's a really fun spot and we will definitely be back soon!

I could not taste the tea due to the overpowering milk, and the tapioca was somewhat hard and didn't seem cooked properly. The Ramen itself was delicious, however. They have many options for premade bowls and are also very flexible if you want to make your own. You can choose your own broth, meat, toppings, spicy level, etc. The Tonkotsu Shoyu broth tastes rich and flavorful.

I've been able to visit this location and confidently know that my order will be delicious and worth every penny. I'm a big fan of the spicy chicken ramen... it's so tasty I get too excited to take a picture of it! I've also had a number of their small plates and I always come back to the crispy rice with tuna. It's so fresh, crispy, and spicy. The wait staff is always amazing in taking care of their customers. They feel more like friends than someone taking care of your table and it leaves me feeling happy to be there. If you get the chance to order in, I highly recommend. They have such a cool vibe with the plants and the fun stools at the long tables!

Be prepared to wait for your food. Good ramen is made to order, so it is not immediately served. If the restaurant is busy, be prepared to wait even longer, but it is worth the wait. The price is incredibly reasonable considering lower quality ramen in the Omaha area is charging upwards of $17 dollars a bowl. The Kara-Age is delicious, and even the spicy tuna roll (a guilty pleasure of mine) is good. The Ambiance is simple and clean. I would recommend it to anyone wanting quality ramen without all the Anime themes and dusty Tchotchkes littering every wall.

The broth was rich and full of flavor, with just the right amount of heat. We'll definitely be coming back.

Also, you must check out the sake bar underneath the restaurant in the evenings. Small and personal it fits right alongside Ika's vibe and includes some new cocktails.

There is a lot to park in west of the building which is helpful given all of the construction. I got the blackstone tonk and my husband got the menudo ramen. Both were good, but note this place has a decent amount of spicy options. My favorite is to get the hot noods (on the small plate section) and add some protein or other add-ons. Great on a cold day and the staff at any location are good. Also they make their own noodles! There's someone making the noodles at the front window by the kitchen.

We've gone with friends and on our own and there's always been a table ready pretty quickly and servers ready to get our orders. We recently went to dinner here and we were both hungry and eager for some Ramen. I ordered the Blackstone Tonk with an egg and my boyfriend ordered the Spicy Miso with extra noodles. The broth for mine was rich, flavorful, and warm. The pork was perfectly tender and the egg added texture and more flavor for me. My boyfriend is always happy with a little spicy heat in his meals and he was pleased with his choice. He may have added a little more spice but that's just because he's evolved his tastebuds to handle it. Anytime we decide to come to this Ika I know that the food and service will be consistent. The servers are always on point in checking on you, our waters were refilled a few times, and they never seem like they are rushing us out the door. On a different note, I also appreciate the decor and atmosphere in this location. The old brick walls and open space feels as though, and there probably is, a lot of history within the walls. Tucked away down an alley, this location is easy to miss but absolutely worth a try!

We ordered the aloo chops and steamd pork + chicken momos. Everything was delicious! I'd recommend getting all four sauces too - they really add to the momos. Pricing was very fair as well.
