    Very good ramen shop. Base was excellent. Charshu a bit small. Noodles were perfect. Staff friendly.

    Very nice ramen, this place is very popular and there were many people outside waiting. They serve just one type of ramen but you can choose many flavors combination

    Nice Ramen sauce with thin noodles, that's my only complain, but I know it's the way it's served here.

    The first thing that stands out about Ichiran Ramen is the unique ordering system. Upon entering the restaurant, customers are greeted by a vending machine where they can purchase their meal ticket. After selecting their desired ramen options, customers are then guided to their individual booths, which provide a private dining experience. The booths are separated by partitions, allowing customers to enjoy their ramen in peace. The tonkotsu ramen at Ichiran is a must-try. The broth is rich and creamy, with a deep umami flavor that comes from hours of simmering pork bones. The noodles are thin and perfectly cooked, and the toppings, which include pork slices, green onions, and a boiled egg, are fresh and flavorful. Customers can also customize their ramen by adjusting the spiciness, richness, and garlic level to their liking.

    Excellent ramen shop that makes it easy to order. The soup is unreal! You can choose how you want your order by circling your preferences on the order sheet. Lots of onions? No onions? No problem. You can't go wrong with Ichiran. Find one near you and go.

    Ichiran like every other one, nice customisation options, no need to talk to any staff whatsoever, can get busy sometimes. Food 7/10, bang for buck 5/10

    By far the best ramen ever, notwithstanding the place is perfectly designed to meet the corona restrictions!

  • 5/5 Jay A. 4 years ago on Google
    High quality and lots of customization options. You can dine both privately and in a group.

    A bit overpriced for my taste but I'm relatively poor so take my word with a grain of salt. A whole bucket of salt.

    I had previously gone to the Ichiran located in Shibuya and I did not need to verbally communicate with the staff to have my order. All I had to do was leave one of the kae-dama’s I was given right next to the button. However, the Ichiran at Saitama was quite different. It was obviously much smaller and there were more locals (I hadn’t seen any foreigners). The service was more raw. For example, you’d have to actually communicate with the staff even though it’s the same process in Shibuya. When I left one of my kae-dama’s on the button (I wanted the matcha pudding), the staff didn’t even take it and asked what I needed. I was super underwhelmed and uncomfortable when he couldn’t comprehend what I was saying. I asked, “Do you speak English?” in Japanese. He was very confused and lowered himself to look at me which made me panic. I didn’t think I’d actually have to talk to them. He was also panicking and asked his fellow coworker to help. She lifted the blinds and asked for what I needed. My sister told me to say matcha and that’s when I said it and was given a refund for my other kae-dama’s I hadn’t used. That’s where the food tasted different. It tasted the same as in the flavor and everything, but the atmosphere just wasn’t the same. I was uncomfortable and felt like I was put in the spotlight. I probably won't go back to this location if it means I have to verbally talk to the staff. I thought Ichiran was known for not having to talk when you order ://

👍 Omiya is one of the central areas of ordinance-designated cities, and since it is a major department store in the center, I thought it was a store like Nihonbashi or Takashimaya in Shinjuku, but it was more like Okayama station square or Saga Tamaya. I got the impression that it was like a small de...

👍👍 A popular store in a narrow alley in front of Urawa Station. In the photo, the tsukemen soup looks super thick and thick, but in reality it is rather light. It's chicken shirayu tsukemen, so the taste of the chicken is good, so I honestly thought that I don't need the sinking Tsukune. The soup w...
