Always a go to for my ramen needs! Staff is always so friendly and helpful with rapid food service. It is a great little spot tucked away that always has some great tunes in the back ground to enjoy the experience. Food is always consistent and full or flavor pairs great with some Japanese beer!

Ugh I've been to this place many times but I just keep forgetting to review it! I think it is their own fault too... their food and service are so good every time I leave, I am satisfied and happy for the rest of the day, everything seems to fade away. Yep, it is that good. The place is small and unassuming, simple, with a few tables in a big, not overly decorated, room. The service and attention is prompt and friendly. The food has been great every time I visited. My only complaint would be the chicken karage is not that great, a little on the plain unseasoned chicken but the sauce that comes with it balances it out, still, not the best karage out there. I've have had their gyoza and multiple ramen varieties and I am happy and satisfied every time. Definitely recommend to everyone and will continue to visit often.

This was my first time trying Ichran and I would definitely go back. I ordered gyoza for my appetizer, shrimp fried rice and tonkotsu for my entree. I wouldn't order the gyoza again, but the shrimp fried rice was AMAZINNNNNNG !!!!!! The tonkotsu ramen was good as well. The service was good and they were very attentive.

I found my new ramen spot at Ichran. It's a small cozy place in which we were greeted and taken care of right away. I ordered gyoza , karaage chicken and milk based ramen. I found it to be particularly delicious. The ramen has a blend of sweet and spicy which I enjoyed. I will definitely be back.

Came for lunch with some friends, and found a decent Ramen spot. Overall if I could I'd give it a 3.5 star review, but I round up. The ramen was good, the broth was spicy, but not as spicy as I thought it'd be. The beef had a good, unique flavor that prevented the bowl from being monotonous. I'm not a fan of the soup spoon. It looks cool but isn't very user friendly. Service was fast and friendly. Overall a solid Ramen spot if you're in the area.

Back for round 2 with the family and they didn't disappoint! Gyoza and edamame were delicious. Gyoza by far is the best we've had in America. We are Ramen snobs as well after being in Japan for 5 years so trust us when we say ITS YUMMY. I had the red miso, which is their spiciest. On a scale from 1-5, 5 being spiciest I'd say it's a 2. But it was delicious! Service was quick and very accommodating. This is now our goto spot! If you want authentic Japanese tasting Ramen, this is the spot.

I've been here multiple times and this place NEVER disappoints. It's a little small non chain place with the best ramen. The parking is ok. There is a small parking lot right in front of the restaurant that's shared with a few other businesses. We've always had great service, and the visit yesterday was the same! They are always so personable! As soon as we sat down they asked if we would be using chopsticks or forks. My daughter is a chopsticks girl but I need a fork, and all was well. Start your meal with the gyoza. It's pretty delicious. Historically I've had the vegetable ramen (which has been delicious) but yesterday I had the chicken ramen, which was also good. If you are a fan of spicy food, and your ramen isn't already spicy, you can ask for them to spice it up. Of course I added some spice to mine! There is so much food you may not be able to eat it all, let them package it to go.
