About
Ichiran Midtown opened in 2018 at 132 West 31st Street, between Penn Station and the Garment District. As with all Ichiran locations, each diner customizes their bowl via order form and eats in a solo booth behind a bamboo curtain — a system designed to focus attention entirely on the ramen. The tonkotsu broth follows Ichiran Inc.'s proprietary Fukuoka recipe.
Neighborhood & visiting
Ichiran Midtown sits in Midtown West, one of New York's neighborhoods where authentic Japanese kitchens have taken root. Reservations are available online — for a focused ramen counter this is strongly recommended. Check the posted hours before you go — traditional ramen restaurants often close between service periods.
