Ichiran Ramen Ny Times Square

Wanted to have a real experience of eating at the #1 Japanese Restaurant for Ramen. The experience is very unique and some friends who?ve been to the Japan one said that everything look the same. First, there?s no reservations and the place is crowded. We waited 30 minutes to get in. Good news is, everything is super organized. The menu is straightforward, you got the ramen, some toppings options (I picked the flight option so I could try 4 to 5 different ones). One dessert option (which I really liked) and then some extras and drinks. The place and dynamism is very unique. You get your own ?cabin? and you don?t see any employee face to face. You fill out your form with your order and leave it in your cabin, they grab it and close the curtain. Once it?s ready they open the curtain and bring it to you and close it again. I think it?s nice if you are looking for a different experience. The flavor is amazing but there are other ramen houses around as good in my opinion. Also if your idea is to hang out with your friends and have a nice and long talk around the table, this is not the place. Be ready because the price is a little above the average.

Where do I start? We got to Ichiran around 11:45am and the line was really really long. It took us 1 hour to get in. Their staff are very friendly. You get to fill out a sheet to customize your ramen before you get in. It was such an amazing experience. It was definitely worth the wait. You should try the broth before mixing in the red sauce. It was so so good. We will definitely be back. Their establishment is very clean, bathrooms are clean, staff are nice, food is PHENOMENAL!! They?re not that expensive either. Just do it!

I typicLly dont do alot of broth or soups but this was delicious

Fantastic vegan ramen. I wish there was an option to add tofu or a mock meat, but a small want on an otherwise amazing dish. P.S. Get extra noodles, youll thank me later.

Where do I even begin? We arrived at Ichiran around 11:45 AM, and the line was incredibly long. It took us an hour to get seated, but the wait was absolutely worth it. The staff were exceptionally friendly, and we had the chance to customize our ramen by filling out a sheet before entering. The whole experience was amazing. I highly recommend trying the broth before adding the red sauce—it was delicious! We will definitely return. The restaurant itself is very clean, the bathrooms are well-maintained, and the staff are pleasant. The food is phenomenal, and the prices are quite reasonable. Don’t hesitate to go!
