Quick place to grab a bowl of ramen while at Osaka Station! We were getting hangry right after we…もっと読むarrived and opted to eat here instead of venturing out in Osaka. The staff hustles and is boisterous and ramen is served in a hurry. I got the pork ramen and the broth was pure perfection and the bowl was a perfect size. I was the only woman in this place so that was a bit different for me but hey, when in Japan, you eat the ramen with men. All in all, a solid place to eat at while at the train station.

This is actually a ramen chain so there are other locations all over, and it's one you can't go…もっと読むwrong with. Their broth is amazing, noddles are so fresh and service is efficient. My fave ramen place to go in Japan! We always make our way back here. Ambience is casual.

12/19/25- Probably…もっと読むone of the best ramen I've had.. so far.. Oldest had been craving it since his last visit in 2023-.. So he was excited to have both me and the youngest try it.. Busy but very quick staff.. I got the shisho ramen simple which was perfect size.. Let's just say everyone finished their dish! Also got the gyoza and it was so fresh..

820 yen for a fantastic bowl of Macro Ramen (Shijimi Asari Broth) with a huge tender piece of pork…もっと読むbelly! Staff was incredibly nice and the all bright wood interior was soothing. A musT!

This is the best ramen I have tasted, loved the pork belly that is served with it. They don't have…もっと読むmuch variety (actually 3 types of ramen) but they don't need it as the flavor is awesome. Great place, with air conditioner and there is normally a line outside, we waited for 15 minutes. We were lucky because as soon as we left the line was huge but as the service is quite fast I don't think you will have to wait that much and it's totally worth it!

Food (5/5): This has to be the best Ichiran spot. I've tried only one other in Tokyo, but the beef…もっと読むflavor of this one has a specific depth and umami that you have to come and compare. Similar to the others, you can customize the way you like it with the noodle's bite, the oil in the broth, and additional toppings. I would absolutely come back. Service (3/5): The wait here is LOOONNGGGGG. If this is your first time in Osaka, come here, grab a number, then walk around and do your shopping. I don't remember the exact time we came, but it had to be around 5pm/17:00 (yes, I know it's during dinner time). We actually ended up getting pre-dinner at a local Chinese food spot and we sat and enjoyed some beers near the river. We ended up waiting about 3.5 to 4 hours for a table (there were only 2 of us by the way). By the time we were sat, we were already hungry. The check in process goes like this: you walk up the stairs, put your name down with your party, wait around Osaka, come back with your party, wait in another line, order, wait again, and then you sit to enjoy your meal. The people are friendly and it is very English tourtist friendly. Ambiance (5/5): The idea of eating in a solo booth is so comforting for the individual with social anxiety and the introvert. I don't recommend this place for parties greater than 2, but if you're traveling with family of course you can wait it out. Just expect there to be a long wait. Price (5/5): I love that at this one it doesn't require yen. In other Ichiran's that are smaller, you have to insert yen into the machine when ordering.

There was a 30 minute wait since we got there during dinner…もっと読むtime. You purchase your meals on the vending machine and they give you a slip to pick your options. It's the classics tonkatsu ramen but it's a different experience because you get your own booth and the window opens in front of you and you get your order. Is it the best ramen? Nope, but you go there for the experience.

I've had Ichiran during my visits to New York but never in Japan so I had to check it out. There…もっと読むare multiple locations throughout Japan and this location open 24/7 near the Osaka Umeda Station in Osaka. You order and pay at the vending machine and get a ticket with your order. Then you wait in line until there are open seats for your party. While you wait you get a slip from the worker to specify your ramen bowl preferences such as spice level, noodle doneness, green onions, chashu, garlic, and broth richness. It's cool that you can actually see the tables and the statuses of each seat at the restaurant on the wall. They only have a tonkotsu broth option but they have a couple different add-ons. I ordered the tonkotsu ramen with egg and extra slices of chashu and the broth was so creamy and flavorful. The chashu was so tender with no dry parts. It was not too fatty but just enough. Out of all the ramen I had on our trip Ichiran was definitely our favorite. We even got some of their packaged ramen to go so we can eat it more at home. The unique thing about Ichiran is that the seats are single stalls. You don't need to talk to anyone if you don't want to. You give the slip and ticket to the worker, they bring it to you, then close the blinds so you can eat in peace. Then when you're done, you just leave. It's fun whether you come here alone or in a group and you leave with delicious ramen in your stomach.

We love Ichiran! We actually committed a cardinal sin and ate here twice on vacation. It's…もっと読むaffordable and delish!

Everything was good, food, service & ambience the best The chef is amazing & very nice. I…もっと読むdefinitely recommend & will return if I go back to Osaka , arigato gazaimasu

Hands down the best ramen I've ever had. Dining at Ichiran in Japan--seated in my own private…もっと読むbooth, fully immersed in the flavors--was an experience like no other. The focus on savoring every bite without distraction made it unforgettable. From the rich, savory pork broth to the perfectly textured noodles, everything was spot-on. It's calming quiet ambience, with nothing more than slurping of noodles next to you. I'd go back in a heartbeat.

-Gyozas were a pretty solid start to the meal -Moved on to…もっと読むthe fried rice with added boiled egg; was just your average fried rice. I was hoping that the boiled egg was going to be soft boiled and runny, but it was a hard boiled egg... and cold -Went with with the spicy ramen to finish. I don't usually like ramen too much but the flavor of this was better than I expected. Wish there was a better meat option though Very welcoming staff, and extremely helpful considering they didn't speak any English and we don't speak any Japanese

Yum noodles. Yum potstickers…もっと読む When you get excited to eat noodles after the Cup Noodle Museum, stop here on your way back to the train. The lines seems long but it goes quickly.

We decided to stop in Himeji for a few hours. First stop, lunch. We hadn't searched for food…もっと読むbeforehand so we did a quick look online and found Ramen Maruju. It seemed to have decent reviews. We dropped in on a Friday afternoon (around 12:30pm). There's about 10 seats around the L shaped bar and it was filled with Japanese clientele. No line which was a first for us. The menu is only in Japanese. One of the workers spoke a wee bit of English but not much. Just point at the one you want. There seemed to be 3 types of ramen along with a few small rice bowls and fried chicken. There's free pickled vegetables on the table. It's unlimited. Good to whet your appetite while you wait for your food. - Tonkotsu (¥830) - I'm not sure but we got charged an extra ¥20. Maybe because I asked for my broth to be spicy? The bowl came with one piece of chashu (cut in half, quite fatty), bean sprouts, cabbage and green onions. Broth was decently spicy but lacked depth and dimension. You can get the noodles thin or thick; I went with the latter. Again, just okay. - Seafood tsukemen (¥880) - we unknowingly ordered a tsukemen bowl. This came with green onions, chashu and half an egg. The fish was very prominent in the broth. Broth was better than the tonkotsu. Noodles were oddly clumpy and stuck together. Passable but nowhere close to the quality ramen spots we've ate at elsewhere.

When you are in Japan, you have to eat ramen. When you are…もっと読むin Himeji, you have to eat Maruju/Marujo Ramen. The ramen is right firmness, the spicy level is good. They have basic english menu, less menu than Japanese version. Lunch combo menu is cheap. Taste is good. The owner/chef guy speak broken english but try to accommodate all your need. Very friendly and customer oriented service. Thick Chasiu is included. The Funny thing is the Cold water is inside the Thermos on the table since the weather is super hot & humid outside. We gulp couple thermos. Credit Card accepted is another plus side. Lots of places accept only cash. It's in the Tourist Guide Map for Himeji, located near the Train Station.

The ramen, gyozas and fried rice tasted amazing. Service was quick and staff was kind.もっと読む

I went here for lunch with friends. They have great ramen, and you can add more toppings as well.もっと読む
