ONE OF THE BEST RAMEN WE'VE EVER HAD! If you are currently reading reviews on Ichiran, you MUST pay a visit. You've got nothing to loose, if you don't like it, that's only about 800yen sacrifice. There are so many stores around Japan, find the one closest to you and get on that liquid gold! You order from a "vending... More

Omg... Just too good. And it is 24 hrs too! It's in a basement in a small building so you will need to keep your eyes peeled.

Fun experience, quick tasty meals. not for those looking for a romantic sit down dinner, more like Japanese fast food. Would be quite hard to find as the restaurant name is in Japanese characters, we followed the instructions of one the the reviews below and found it fine.

I first found out about this restaurant chain a few years ago when I was walking around Fukuoka. I seen this line outside a place and had to investigate. I recently was in Tokyo and had to have my favorite ramen again. Not only is the ramen the best but the layout of the restaurant pairs you alone with your... More

From hachiko exit, look around at the huge crossing. Looking ahead, cross it diagonally to the right. You will see seibu department store to your left on the other side of the street. Zara has a huge sign and is easily seen from where you walk. Go past it and the OIOI building, and watch out for ichiran. Go underground.... More

This place was hard to find! The other reviewers who gave directions were super helpful- look for the red sign and a narrow set of stairs leading underground. The service was fabulous, English meal cards helped us to choose exactly how we wanted our meals cooked and the photos on the vending machines were very clear. The order came quickly... More

Had gone here after walking all over Shibuya. We were starving and after a 10 mins wait, we were served a huge bowl of this delicious ramen. As many fellow travelers have already described the process of ordering and eating, I shall elaborate on the taste. Very different from the usual ramen you get around in Tokyo. Service was prompt....

The ramen deserves all the raving reviews. I queued 20 minutes to order via an automated machine. I was then ushered to a long room where customers, lile myself, sit in a single file. Customers are partitioned apart such that they can enjoyed their ramen in total privacy. The ramen was served within 5 minutes after handing the server my... More

Try to eat in this ramen place.. Nice experience to have eating in a cubical, and Japanese think everything in detail, they have a tap water and glass for you to take drink and tissue paper behind your back (hang on the wall), above hanger for your coat.. There's bell too if you need help, or when you want to... More

1 dish with many options. Good quality ramen. Go down the stairs. Put 1000 in the machine hit the picture in the middle that shows a bowl of ramen. Collect your ticket and change. Check the board with the blue flashing lights for open seats. Choose a seat and......... Sit down. Fill in the card ( strong flavour, spicy etc).... More
