一蘭 渋谷店

Our first meal in Tokyo and decided to get...RAMEN! I found this place on Yelp. At the time I didn't know it was a chain but regardless, the place delivered all our needs.
I don't remember the name of my order but it was ramen. Not sure what broth I got but it was all delicious. The noodles were perfect! The broth was savory.
The staff was great. When you enter, you order from the kiosk and give you number to the staff when you sit down. You get your own person space when eating but it also has an area where you can slide the wall down. You can place your order on the paper which is customizable.
I'd come again! We had a great meal here.

Japan's famous Ramen chain. Very crowded but it is moving fast. Broth was not oily and heavy, and the noodles was chewy.

Asked around for local favorites, if not you can't go wrong with Ichiran. Kinda like running into our in and out.

Good ramen, best out of two places we tried while in Tokyo. Service is simple and it is a ticket system. Order what you want via a kiosk and when your turn comes they take your ticket and provide you a simple space to sit in. No tables that I saw but may be available for a larger group?

Line could be long but things do move along.

Heard so much about this place and had to go before I left Japan. The ramen was excellent, very flavourful broth and overall tasted really good. Would recommend others give this place a try. The service is fast and staff friendly. Easy ordering process for foreigners as well. Good for solo dining (individual booths) or with a small group.

I saw a line so I picked a number and waited. Had no idea where I was because the letters were in Japanese. Once I made it downstairs I saw it was Ichiran! An introvert's paradise. Picked my bowl and toppings, got my personal cubby and sat down for a nice quiet meal. Others say the ramen here is just ok but I disagree. It's all in the broth. Super flavorful. Everything cooked to your liking. This ramen is definitely in my top 3.

Loved this ramen!!! By far the best we had in Tokyo!!! This is the only Ichiran location we found that accepted credit cards. The other locations were cash only. It's a quick in and out to have your ramen and go. But it's so worth it and delicious.

Tucked away small hole in a wall . Dark inside but straight to the point . It's got a dive bar vibe .Definitely an experience . Delicious ramen . Very easy to order and like the privacy aspect . It's definitely for someone on the go .

Saw this place while walking towards the shibuya Crossing and noticed a long line. Long line must mean good right? The wait time said 65 minutes but it actually only took about 45-50. It was a very simple system that will be easy to figure out even without speaking Japanese or English. This place did not disappoint, everything tasted great. Definitely worth the wait time and it's quite cheap for being a very popular place. Definitely recommend. The only thing I'd warn about is the very dirty restroom but other than that, it was wonderful.

Came to the Ichiran Shibuya's shop on our first night in Japan/Tokyo because we knew it was open 24 hours. Even at ~8/9pm, there was a bit of a wait as the line was up the stairs partially, but moved quickly. Order first from a kiosk that now has "English" language option and can pay by credit card! Then you fill out the form for customizing your ramen order and wait for the server to ask how many are your party and seat you at the individual booth style stools and window seats.

I actually enjoyed Ichiran more this time than my first time in Osaka Dotonbori area years ago. The broth wasn't as salty this time, it was perfect - creamy tonkotsu broth, ramen cooked perfectly. The experience here makes it so that you're in-and-out rather quickly with little interaction with servers & staff. They have individual water pumps at each seat and even little placards you can put if you think it's too noisy, etc. (which my husband and I found rather amusing).

Really can't go wrong with Ichiran Ramen, especially if you love Tonkotsu (pork bone broth) Ramen!

Icihiran is the go to for ramen. It's just a solid broth and great chewy noodles. You'll see a line but it always moves relatively fast. What's great is they are very accommodating to the solo traveler. You also order from a vending machine of what you want. They have ramen cubbies very limited interaction with wait staff. They have translated cards you can share to communicate if you don't speak Japanese.
But the ramen is so solid. Clean broth and very filling.
