ICHIRAN Ramen NY Times Square

One of the BEST tasting ramen I've ever had! The experience was also unmatched, I loved the authentic solo dining experience I received here. You can remove the dividers if you are sitting next to someone though. Also worth the price- this bowl was $25 after tax. It was nice to customize your bowl to your liking (you can adjust the salt, garlic, onion, spice levels, etc). It was totally worth the 30 minute wait in the snow!

This is always one of my go to spots to enjoy the perfect bowl of ramen. Perfect to eat at solo, but I've also visited with friends and family as well! This is a no tipping establishment and the service is as attentive as you want it to be. Upon entry you place an order on one of the kiosks. You're given a ticket and then they assign a booth seat to you. When you sit down you give them your ticket, they confirm your order and then they bring it to you when it's ready. Water is self serve. I like the have purse/bag hooks under your booth and place to hang up your jacket on the walls. Food is always consistent! I usually go with the recommendations notated on the kiosk for levels of heat, garlic, firmness of noodles. Love a jammy soft boiled egg, be aware you have to peel this when you receive it. They do a pretty brisk take out service as well. Join the rewards program if you plan to frequent. I'm a fan!!!

Exceptional ramen that tastes like the authentic version in Japan, located in the heart of city. Had the opportunity to taste Ichiran numerous times in Japan, and to the best of my taste bud ability, it’s almost identical. Even though they have around 65 seats available, be sure to wait a little bit if you come dine after 12:30 as there was a long line while we left. You order and pay ahead at the kiosk before being sitting at your very own tiny seating. When the shades open up, provide the server your ticket and your meal be be ready soon. Everything felt so fast and efficient, compared to the traditional sit down experience. No tipping required as they follow the Japan culture. The broth is super flavorful and pure liquid joy! Can’t go wrong dining here during the cold brutal winter months in NYC!

I have been to the original in Japan and this is spot on to what I had there! Rich, creamy broth with incredible noodles. You can build it how you like, adding in your favorite toppings and even order extra noodles right from your seat. The line was out the door but their system was so smooth we waited maybe 15 to 20 minutes (we were a larger group) after ordering. If you are in the area, definitely go! You won't regret it!!

This was an amazing experience!! Got their ramen combo w the matcha pudding and the food was fantastic. Broth was very rich and the noodles looked thin but had good texture. Def would come here again!

Great spot if you’re craving a focused, no-frills ramen experience in the middle of Times Square. The tonkotsu broth is rich, smooth, and consistently flavorful, and the customization sheet makes it easy to get the bowl exactly how you like it. Noodles had a great texture, and everything came out hot and well-prepared. The individual booths are perfect if you want a quick, quiet meal despite the busy location. Service is efficient and streamlined. It can get crowded, especially at peak hours, and prices are a bit higher than some other ramen spots—but that’s expected for Times Square. Overall, a reliable choice for quality ramen when you’re in the area.

Came here with my friends just to quickly fill our stomachs after arriving from Philly without knowing how popular this place was. Quite literally we walked here perfectly right when it opened because we didn’t want to walk 18 minutes to eat ramen at another place. After eating here we understand why there was a whole line because it really didn’t disappoint! The broth was very light and not too salty like other ramen restaurants. The noodles were also made perfectly and reminded me of a comforting home cooked meal. I like how they only serve one type of ramen because it feels like they’ve perfected the entire bowl. Service was prompt and courteous and the atmosphere provided a lot of privacy between each guest/group.
