This is an updated review for the Midtown / Times Square (Theater District) location for Ichiran. I had been to the original Bushwick location years ago, and I didn’t take pictures nor remembered much about it. The only thing I wrote down was it was a much better version of Shinsengumi. Shinsengumi was a popular Torrance (California) restaurant that served hakata style ramen. They also allowed you to select your flavor profiles, and it was far less busy than Ichiran.

It’s just ok.

Recommended by Totto Ramen server for best thick noodle in NYC. Soup was bad and salty. But yeah the noodle was pretty good.

It’s similar to Shinsengumi. If in Chelsea and want ramen, Oramen is way better.

This place is pretty good for the area. I like the miso.

Ramen omakase. Really good. Everything is homemade. $130 per person.

It’s just ok. I’d go to other ramen places over this.

They are known on Instagram for their Burrata pizza which was about $25. It was ok. I wouldn’t go out of my way to get it because it literally is just a margarita style pizza with a big piece of burrata cheese in the middle. The burrata wasn’t that soft when cut for some reason.

One word: cheap.

This place is just OK. Super gimmicky with the rolling pizza thing. Would rather have a slice than that. It’s like eating a super thin pizza that is malleable.
