Reviews for Ichiran in New York, NY
This place is great for individuals and for introverts who don?t really want to talk to anybody but still want to eat out in... public without feeling weird. I went here a couple of months ago and I really loved going here. It?s walkable distance toMadison square garden which is great if you have a concert to go to afterwards. This is a no tipping establishment. The wholemeal itself was about 20-30 dollars. If you want seconds, simply ring the bell and they will give it to you. The chef / waiterwho served me was super nice. Really enjoyed this place overall. Read more
This is very much a solo experience with the individual booth so you can enjoy your food in peace. I went in around 3-4pm and... had no lines and the restaurant was mostly empty. However it still took a while for me to be seen to and seated. Once I wasseated, the service was very quick and attentive. The ramen is very very good and definitely worth the trip to eat the ramen. However I'm not sure if it's something worth waiting over an hour for so I definitely advise going during the off peak hours. Read more
The ramen itself was fantastic, I really enjoyed it. But it is definitely an individual experience. There are booths with walls... on either side that make it difficult to hold a group conversation. I would only recommend going if you're going alone or withone other person. There's a parking lot next door so the line gets split before and after the entry. Though there is no sign orexplanation, the staff keep coming out and have to tell people to go back. They should put up a sign! Read more
I went around 12:40 and had to wait about 40 minutes to get in so expect to stand in line for a bit if you go during peak lunch... hours. I would say that it was worth the wait. The noodles and the broth were cooked perfectly and the spiciness was at theexact level I wanted. I definitely recommend trying their matcha pudding. I almost didn?t but a friend insisted that I had totry it. I?m so glad I did because it?s been over 24 hours and I?m still thinking about how good it was! The staff was veryfriendly and attentive as well. Read more
Quite pricey for a bowl of ramen. $27 for a standard set. Experiencing once or once in a while is alright. It?s good that... tipping is not followed at the establishment. Taste is good and it should be considering the reputation and price. Service isgreat. Read more
Definitely one of the yummiest ramen I've tested. The attention and the explanation for first goers was spot on. Like it shows,... the place is very traditional and you have your own space for the whole experience. Even when it says it EVERYWHERE, Do NOTleave a tip!. This is a no, no in Japanese culture. The ambience and the cleanliness, perfect. I'll be going back!???????????????? Read more
This has been a wonderful experience. The staff were incredibly courteous and friendly. They patiently answered my dumb... questions and explained the process well. The food was absolutely rich in flavor and high in satisfaction. I would highlyrecommend coming here for a genuine ramen experience and it?s a great place to go by yourself or with a partner.

Long wait but worth it!!! You wait outside hopefully in nice weather. Once you're in. You're in a single booth so going with a... large group won't be what you expect from a normal table. Food takes a small wait but very very good. Staff is beyond great andyou can't tip. If anyone deserves a tip it's these workers. Don't miss it. Read more
