Great service and delicious appetizers. The ramen is great as well! The noodle bowl portions are pretty big too. read more

Ichi Ramen - B2 option - Ramen Near Me - San Bruno, California

The servers are racist.the food was bland and they gave me a table with nothing on it and I had to grab my own menu while everyone else was getting service. They threw my plates on the table and would ignore me everytime they passed by. I ordered one soup and the people that came after me got theirs first and they ordered way more stuff. It took 30 minutes for me to get my food and when it was time to pay they slipped in a tip as a preset total when I was there last week and got the same food and the price was cheaper. I asked them to put my soup in a to go container because I didn't wanna spill and make a mess and she rolled her eyes. When I noticed that they messed with my paycheck and I wasn't gonna pay that the lady stopped pouring my soup midway and said she was busy. I will never go there again and would give 0 stars if possible. I've worked in restaurants for 6 years and am happy to tip but I can see the blatant racism they were giving me. read more

We went to this place today just because we were pressed for time and also to try out the food. I was disappointed with my ramen because I was expecting the flavor of ramen but didn't know that the place is run by Chinese so they didn't make authentic ramen. Even the teriyaki bowl that my granddaughter ordered was mediocre. Another big issue is the lack of good manners; actually, the cashier and server didn't smile one bit the entire time we were there, as if they didn't want customers. read more

Let's get something straight here...this is a Chinese restaurant. A CHINESE RESTAURANT. And they serve ramen which means if you were the least bit smart, you wouldn't try the ramen. The Chinese food (congee, donut, beef brisket with rice noodle) is where it's at. Please make wise decisions with your food selection. read more

This restaurant was a very popular Chinese restaurant in SF - I'm not sure why they chose to advertise ramen when that is not what they're known for. If you want good authentic Chinese food, this is the spot. read more

This place is busy with customers line out the door during lunch hours. Got my ramen order quickly as waiters rushed to service all tables. Food was serviced hot and presented nicely. Definitely will comeback when in the area. read more

I love ramen but I didn't enjoy the ramen from here at all. I ordered the miso ramen and it was so salty that I didn't want to eat it anymore. My husband had the pork ramen and that was better than what I had. The edamame gyozas were ok. They were unique but they were a bit soft and falling apart. Overall, I don't think I will come again. I say this place is called ichi ramen because I should give it one star. read more

The old Hing Long from Chinatown Broadway street is now located at this location. Their congee is my favorite, esp with the deep fried dough. The Chinese food is good, prices are a fair. Not sure why all the negative reviews, but we enjoy the food here very much. There's always a wait during the weekend and the customers are 95% Chinese, so that must mean something right? read more

Not Japanese Ramen! If you're looking for Japanese ramen, this isn't your place. From the staff to the food, this place is very Chinese. My family and I came in for lunch, my wife ordered the Combo: Tonkotsu Ramen & Stewed pork Don - I ordered the Soy Sauce (shoyu) Ramen. How we'd rate our overall experience: (* out of 5) PRICE = 4* - Ramen bowls are comparable at $9.50 but the combo is only $11.50 with a side of a curry don or stewed pork. Even Appetizers looked pretty cheap. Portion sizes on the noodles and pork are pretty big! (Although a lot of new restaurants start that way then over time cut down on portion sizes to cut costs. So only time will tell if they'll do the same) FOOD = 3.5* - Everything was very Chinese flavored: broth, noodles, even the tea. The pork on the ramen, though good, was almost like I was eating peking duck, and the stewed pork was exactly like a bbq pork. SERVICE = 2* - Its typical service you'd get from a lot of asian restaurants: not much of a friendly greeting, need to ask for everything, i.e. more water, bowls for the kids, forks instead of chopsticks. The menus were almost rudely dropped onto the table and if you wanted soda, you have to grab it from their fridge yourself. DECOR = 3.5* - Being a new restaurant, things are new and clean, but they have mount fuji, and other photos/artwork that suggest its a Japanese restaurant but it really isn't. Its more of a Japanese/Chinese fusion. OVERALL EXPERIENCE = 3* Food was good, pretty cheap, but not what I expected. If you just want a hefty bowl of noodles -quick and cheap - this place is for you. Otherwise I'd rather go to Takara ramen in SSF or one of the spots in San Mateo like Parlor or Dojo if I'm willing to drive n wait. read more

If you found this listing on Yelp, you are probably a bit confused. Ichi Ramen is permanently closed, yet their signage is still on the top of the restaurant above their window and on the hallway. In fact there is nothing in English that notates that the restaurant has since changed to a Chinese restaurant called Hing Lung (the red Chinese characters read Hing Lung). Confusingly enough, Hing Lung decided to keep several ramen choices on their menu. Suffice it to say that ramen is not really their specialty; rather it is their jook (congee/rice porridge) and Chinese style noodles. If you are looking for that, then go here. Otherwise you should Yelp again for a different place. read more

if i could rate 0 stars i would! service was wack from the moment of stepping into the restaurant. lacked decent customer service. The waitress rushed us from ordering our food through our meal and to paying our bill while we were still eating. then had the audacity to ask where the tip was because we paid in cash the exact amount, all while we were still trying to enjoy our crappy looking meal. I still tipped but the nerve of her asking where the tip was while i was still trying to eat was just so rude and inappropriate. don't go here! will never be coming back! read more

If I can give no stars I will. This restaurant is crap and the customer service is crap. I didnt even had a chance to order and get sitted because the server prioritize the bigger party first instead of us. Mind you there is a "LIST" that she should follow. I will never recommend and never going back to this place. Rude ass people. read more

Never coming back here. Employees were rude and didn't understand much English. Took 10 minutes to get the menu and an additional 15 minutes to get our order in. We even pointed at what items we wanted to order. When we got our orders, they were incorrect so we waited even longer. I can't complain about the quality of the food but my experience at this restaurant was terrible. Hopefully it won't be the same for others read more

Showed up at the Ichi Ramen with my family at 9:15pm, we asked to see a menu. They close at 9:30, the lady at the register asked if we were eating in or taking out. When we told her eating in, she gave us attitude and disgusting look. Our impression, she was mad she would have to stay late. Business is business, if you don't want our business we going somewhere else. We went next door and gave all our business to L&L. read more

Waitress was brusque. Restaurant was not full and she point blank would not let us sit at a larger table that was empty, just one of the very small cramped tables pushed up very close against others. Despite this bad beginning we decided to give them a chance. We waited and waited but neither she or anyone else would take our order. Nonexistent service. Then they let a Caucasian couple just sit at the larger table we wanted with no fuss. There are plenty of Asian restaurants in the Bay Area with better service and food especially real Japanese Ramen. read more

a terrible service the waitresses have served us not the worst restaurant I ever ate in my life

There are no words except fucken horrible. The waitress never greeted us, acted as if we were BOTHERING HER, added gratuity without stating it to us beforehand, made us grab the shit we asked HER for. Straws? Get It yourself. Oh the foods ready? It's piping hot. Take it from my tray. Too fucken lazy. Hoping her RBF was just an outer appearance thing but goddamn how can a restaurant be so incompetent and HORRIBLE?! So with all this completely utter shit we were forced to give her an already added gratuity for shitty service and experience. read more

The price is reasonable and good food. But if you come late little bit some of the menu is not available due to high demand and the line is took about 30mins. Im very satisfied the food and the service. read more

Somehow this place is now a hybrid ramen shop and xing long. The beef chow fun was good, but the BBQ pork seemed day old (super dry and looked old). I would go back to try the clay pot dishes. Glad to have more Chinese food options near me. With parking plentiful in this plaza, makes it easy breezy! read more

I ordered vegetarian ramen. It was the best veggie ramen I've ever had, even better than the popular ramen restaurant in LA. The veggie ramen was the only thing I could order being a vegetarian so I can't speak to the other foods on the menu. Our waitress was very nice and polite. Definitely coming back when I feel like having ramen! read more

I just ordered the black garlic pork ramen plus corn. There was no flavor. There were only 3 tables filled and you can hear the cooks in the kitchen yelling in Chinese like they were stressed out. I asked for hot tea and it was lukewarm. The waitress refilled my tea and yet again lukewarm. That's it, I'm not coming back... read more

First the staff ignored me when I was next in line and helped the people behind me, even when I kept asking them questions, then the food came and the quality was terrible and it tasted extremely bad. The staff was the rudest staff I've ever experienced.they gave attitude in every response and whenever they came with food they just dropped it and left right away. They didn't even tell us what was what so we had to guess. I would not recommend this place to anybody. read more

The noodles were straight from a Top Ramen packet and seemed like they had been sitting in the same pot for hours. Zero flavor and zero meat. Don't even bother ordering anything from this place as everything is read more

Very poor service. Stay away from these place. Go to Colma instead and try Momiji or go Burlingame and try Ramen Dojo

Hair in food. Price is expensive compared to other similar restaurants. Chicken was not good. Chowfun was mediocre. The green beans were descent even though I'm not a veggie eater. I come for the meat and they were not good. Best thing was their ginger sauce. Disappointment coming to this place. read more

The bad reviews was keeping me away for a while until I finally decided to go see for my self since it was close to my house. The service is not great but the food is good. Great portions when eating in. Free tea as well. I have been here 3 times and have been happy each time. Each plate is about 10 dollars. read more

Two stars are for the food, pretty good food and everything is tasty and hot. Now to the service, we came here excited and happy but was turned down immediately by serve Yumiko, we wrote down our name for party of 2 and waited patiently, then when a table is available, she seated part of a party of 8 who arrived after us and waited for another table became available and seated them. Okay I understand that is a big party and I am ok with that. Then she seated another table of 3 who arrived after us then another table of 5 who arrived after us !! Really!!?!??? I stepped up and asked her why she seated party of 3 and 5 that arrived after us, she replied rudely that yes they are big table and you are small table you have to wait. Thanks to Yumiko , we will not return. read more

Was craving ramen , so I decided to give this place a try. First , they had no customers yet the tables were all dirty. They all definitely needed to be wiped down. Second, water was room temp. Third, food was not what I had expected. Everything had a distinct taste and smell and meat was rubbery. Such a disappointment. After spending close to $60 with my kids on uneaten food., I had to take them to the Burger King around corner. read more

Okay, so it is fast food Ramen, but I thought it was quite good. Large servings, good customer service, clean, reasonable price. No complaints. I will add them to my weekday lunch rotation. read more

Stopped by for some soup, not very tasty. Both the chicken ramen and seafood ramen lacked any taste. If you're looking fresh hot tasty soup Ben Tre on Grand Avenue in SSF is the spot! read more

When this place opened, it was a ramen store served mainly Ramen. Now they have changed it to a Chinese restaurant that serves Japanese Ramen too. The price is slightly more expensive than I would like, but the food is not bad. The server didn't speak much English... She asked if we wanted some rice. I asked if it comes with the food, she didn't understand. I might come back just because it's close to my house but nothing really special to note. read more

Ramen hit the spot on a rainy day. The food was ok. Combination was ok. The kids menu had better items for the price. Combination ramen comes with a small bowl of rice and choice of fish, chicken, or stew. The portions were decent. Should be a little more for the price, but rent might be high. read more

I was in the mood for soup and stumbled upon this place. The Ramen was decent. The pork don was amazing. Pro tip, you can turn any Ramen order into a combo for a couple bucks. What impressed me the most was the service. I would rate the service a 5. Everyone was friendly and very attentive. read more

Ichi Ramen - Spicy Miso Ramen combo. - Ramen Near Me - San Bruno, California

Don't be fooled by the name. Majority of the menu is Chinese Food. Asked for Ramen and there is about 3 versions all not very good. Broth is disgusting and full of MSG. Service is slow with an unattentive staff. Felt like a sardine in this place. read more

I'm giving it an extra star because they're new. Husband had vegetarian ramen, and I had chicken terriaki rice bowl. We also ordered the salt & pepper shrimp as an appetizer. The shrimp was lightly fried with good flavor, but the shrimp was not cleaned properly. The shells were still on the shrimp! We had to peal the shells off to eat them, and thus lost all the breading! Chicken was very fatty & some gristle. Ramen tasted like instant noodles and broth was very salty. For $23, the only thing I liked was the price...but I will not return. , read more

Great vegetarian ramen. The broth was good and clean. Portion size is great. If you look at the reviews online a lot of the writers have no friends so they look like fake reviews. I like this place for vegetarian ramen. Eating cleaner and I've had Alinea read more

I went back after having folks get to-go orders for lunch/dinner. Turns out while their ramen might not be good [refer to my earlier review], their Chinese food is quite decent. I would go back for more take out orders. read more

The ramen was pretty tasty. Tried the spicy miso. Broth was hot and flavorful. Portion size decent: not stingy, but not generous either. I thought the furniture seemed cheap and the lighting too bright, though--superficial issues, admittedly. Will come again. read more

A bit pricey compared to other ramen in the area and portion is small

I was disappointed to find out they closed down the Red Ribbon in San Bruno but was excited they open Ichi Ramen in its place. The service is fast and friendly. Good portions for the price, love the different combo of meals. It makes it simply and easy to order and the food is tasty as well. read more
