Ichiran New York - Buy Reservations

We have eaten at Ichiran in Tokyo and of course every time we are in New York City, we have to eat their fabulous ramen soup. The broth is full of flavor and just delicious. This is a very popular place so I would advise going when they first open or be prepared to wait in line outside. The line does move rather fast and it is worth the wait. You will not find any more authentic Tonkotsu anywhere else.

One of the most extraordinary restaurants that I have eaten at. I heard about this place through videos and was excited to give it a try. It's a ramen restaurant, where you get your own booth and there's no one to bother you. This is the perfect place for introverts! I came right as they open, but expect to wait if you go at a later time.The host will give you a number and piece of paper that explains how the process works. Once you are seated at your designated spot you will fill out the ramen preferences and a person from the other side will get your order. If you need further assistance you're welcome to ring the button on the table. They serve only one type of ramen - tonkotsu, which I customized to be spicy. The ramen tasted great, the noodles are fresh and the broth tasted amazing. Also, for an additional $5 you can add the other toppings they recommend. Overall, I had a great experience. My only complaint was that the workers were a bit loud and I had to peel my own egg. It took me a while to peel the soft boiled egg. I would definitely recommend everyone to try this restaurant at least once!

Hi. I've been to Ichiran in Tokyo and Osaka locations. They are the original Ichiran. Their ramen were excellent so when NYC opened their site, it's a must try. NYC midtown site was great, service was good, hygiene was good at the table. Reason it's not 5-stars was poor hygiene in the bathroom. The kitchen and bathroom are my precautions for hygiene overall. Overall, glad they are here and grateful but there is still room for improvement. Ramen size was standard, less than Japan serving size. Texture is a personal preference, I went with recommended. The egg needed a little work. It was more well done than I would like it. Then again, eggs are handle differently in USA vs Japan. That's a different issue and another conversation. Cha su (pork meat) was well done and not over dried; it was good. This location did not have the water faucet at each booth, it was at a shared location for you to get your own water. (-)Overall, worth going again.

I prefer Ippudo. This place is kind of a novelty because they have the little individual booths that you sit at. Not the best atmosphere for socializing, but it's perfect if you're by yourself. The ramen itself is a little expensive. I was also slightly annoyed that I had to peel the soft boiled egg that I ordered. It made a bit of a mess. Still, the hot ramen hits the spot on a cold day.

I have always wanted to try one of these ramen places but I've only seen them in Tokyo. It's known for the private booths. We came around 10 mins before they opened and we were the 3rd people to get in. So definitely come early. The ambience and the place was very unique. There are hooks for you to hang your coats behind you and there are hoods under your booths. Very convenient. The only thing is that I expected the booths to be more private but you could definitely lean into the other side or hear the conversation of the people next door. I chose the recommended options on the menu, but you can chose to your liking. I also did the additional option which was $5 and it included seaweed, more pork, mushrooms and hard boiled egg. I didn't expect we had to break the egg our self, but it was quite the experience. The texture of the noodles were firm and delicious, the broth was very savory. I didn't add any spice but I would recommend you do to have a little kick. For one person it was $27. If you would like the extra items I recommend you add it, but however it was not needed, there was more than enough food to eat. Overall, I loved it. The ramen was delicious. I would definitely come back!

Glad I was able to get a taste! I love the individual style of the meal. For all of you shoppers, good news! They have loads of places to hook purses, coats, everything I ended up needing after a day of sightseeing! Y'all know what I mean! Anyway, it's a tighter space so if you're not a fan of New York sizes, I would search for somewhere else. Thank y'all for the experience.Love,Apple
