一蘭 京都河原町店

Ichiran is a must try, especially if it’s your first time in Japan. The food is excellent, and the ramen is rich, flavorful, and served incredibly fast once you’re seated. The most time you’ll spend is usually waiting in line. After that, you’re seated in an individual booth where you’re facing for...ward with dividers between each seat. It almost makes you feel like you’re a businessman grabbing a quick lunch in Tokyo. The concept is unique and adds to the overall experience. That said, if you’re looking for a place to socialize over a meal, this probably isn’t it. The setup is designed for you to focus on your ramen rather than conversation. It was actually funny to see a couple of couples trying to have a date there while separated by the partitions! Overall, the experience is efficient, uniquely Japanese, and the ramen is absolutely worth the wait. I would definitely recommend visiting at least once during your trip to Japan.

Very good ramen! There was a limited menu however, you get to choose what exactly you want your ramen to taste like. I am a picky eater and this ramen was very very good. One of the best I’ve had in Japan!

The ramen here is very good. It's a very popular ramen restaurant in Japan, and for good reason as well. When you enter, you'll order at a kiosk. Afterwards, when you reach your individual "Flavour concentration booth", you'll get a separate paper slip and can customize your ramen, for example, how ...spicy you want it. You then hand both the tickets to the chef behind the bamboo screen. They will then start preparing your order while you wait there for your food. After they have prepared your food, they will open the bamboo screen, hand you all your food, and you can then visibly see them bow towards the side before closing the bamboo screen and letting you eat. After you're done, you simply leave. Since you paid at the kiosk, you can simply get up and leave. There are even wooden signs at your booth, and they have special requests. One of them is to indicate that it's too noisy. You put it on a designated sensor area on your table, usually at the edge, and it'll alert the staff, and they'll assist you through the bamboo screen. This whole system is so that you don't have to communicate with any staff at all while you're at this restaurant. This is a great ramen store, and overall I highly recommended due to the quality of food, the workers, and the overall atmosphere, as it's very calm.

Really nice ramen. Also super easy to order for someone who doesn’t speak Japanese very well in a place that seems to be a little more for the locals.

Very good ramen but atmosphere not conducive to conversation with your friends/family. They have individual stalls which limit interaction
