Was feeling cold and under the weather so I ordered a char siu ramen bowl off Uber Eats. This is not a fault of the restaurant, but my driver got lost, so my soup arrived lukewarm. It was still tasty and I appreciated the hefty portions of meat and ramen. read more

Ichiddo Ramen - Minneapolis - 13. Char Siu Ramen - Ramen Near Me - Minneapolis, Minnesota

My hubby and I are huge ramen lovers, and Ichiddo is hands down one of our favorites! We've been here countless times after school and work on Saturdays, and it never disappoints. The service is always friendly, and the food comes out fast and delicious! Tonight was extra special because we visited as part of our anniversary weekend getaway! Since we had more plans after dinner, we wanted something satisfying but not coma-inducing. I went with the Chicken Ramen, while hubby got the Spicy Miso Ramen--both packed with flavor! Of course, we couldn't skip the apps: gyoza, short ribs, and my absolute favorite--salted cucumbers. Ichiddo is a must-visit for any ramen lover! We 100/10 recommend! read more

I have to give this a 5 because of how often I order it. I prefer it to most other takeout-style ramens! I've definitely had others that are a tier above this at sit-down restaurants, but this place hits a certain craving! I have tried their other menu items, but I primarily order ramen from this place. Their Crab Jalapeños are delicious too! Whether you order the Char Siu, Spicy Miso, or any others, you're in for a solid meal! Super fast service if you order delivery or takeout, and several locations! Easily customizable if you crave those extra fish cakes! read more

Solidly delicious food - especially goes with the-13 degrees on MLK day! Was very pleasantly surprised by just how GOOD the food we ate was! We started with the short-ribs - thin slices of succulently seasoned and marinated nibbles of goodness! Smallish - but perfect for two to share. We also had the seasoned cucumber salad which had a little after-bite of heat, but in a "Minnesota-appropriate" way. It was cool and "hot" and a refreshing contrast to the other dishes! Hubby had the Chicken Ramen - flavorful with crispy chicken on top and he added ginger and bamboo shoots for an extra kick and crunch. I had the "signature ramen" (Char Siu) and it was REALLY good and tasty! The pork broth and noodles with the three pork belly medallions and half of a soft-boiled egg were incredible! The service (we were in for lunch) was friendly and punctual. Highly recommended!! read more

My parents lived in Japan for a while and are always looking for ramen that lives up to what they experienced there so we gave Ichiddo a try while they were in town visiting. We went on a Monday night and it was super easy to get a table, the service was fast and friendly. I really enjoyed the decor as well. My parents both got the Char Shiu ramen and weren't blown away but thought it was good ramen compared to other places in the U.S. They wished the broth had been a little stronger. I got the Crispy Chicken ramen and really enjoyed it! I thought the broth was good and was chicken was cooked so well I was craving just a plate of that. I'd definitely go back! read more

1) The wait wasn't very long. We were there 2 hours before closing so it wasn't busy. 2) My hubby forgot to let me try some of his teriyaki ramen and I can't trust his judgment because he just scarfs stuff down, but he said it was "good". Not a yelp worthy description but whatever haha 3) My ramen, which he did try, was really tasty and the chicken of course was perfect! read more

Yummy noodle spot! They have a good selection of different types of ramen. The broth is really flavorful & the meat is sooo good! Def recommend ordering extra meat toppings. You can't go wrong with ramen or udon. Both were very good! The service was great. We received our food very quickly and the server was very sweet. The place was very quiet and chill. Worth the visit if you are near the area. It's right next to the MIA! :D read more

It was a little hard finding this place, it doesn't seem to be easily identified, we walked into what looked like an Asian store. This space is huge!

The ramen was delicious and I was hesitant with the peppers but was pleasantly surprised and impressed. read more

This was the saddest most awful crispy chicken ramen. It's not chicken breast as pictured in the menu item, and it's not even a full portion. It tasted terrible and wasn't crispy at all. Plus the Raman was undercooked. Just terrible. I wish I could give this negative stars. Go take lessons in cooking from the Ichiddo in Minnetonka. read more

Somehow I always forget they're closed on Wednesdays. Apart from that! Great ramen. Generous portion and you won't leave hungry that's for sure. Big dining space: have never had to wait for a table. I wish the ramen came with more meat. Whether their signature char siu, spicy miso or beef ramen, it's always a minimal amount of protein. Apart from that, wonderful. When I'm craving good ramen, this is where I go, and where I order from! read more

A coworker was looking for ramen and we don't work that far away from Ichiddo. I was happy to see other things on the menu besides ramen because I wasn't feeling it on that hot day. The space is huge and pre pandemic I have to assume it was filled or maybe is full at dinner. We were around 1pm and it was just us and one other group. We started with boba and ended up getting the wrong one so we sent it back. The honeydew was amazing and I would order it again. My friend got a spicy ramen and said it was delicious and he'd order it again. I went for friend rice which was good but I felt like it was missing something. We also did the fried tofu buns and they were awesome. I have such a hard time finding vegetarian buns in the cities. Overall I liked this shop. The parking lot made it easy and the lack of a wait ensured a quick ordering process and we got our food within ten minutes. read more

Delivery Review: Look, the food here is good. They even deliver it hot. Why the 1-stars? This place uses a metric Shi-Ton of styrofoam. You'll eat burnt styrofoam and contribute to EXCESSIVE styrofoam usage which is well known to be an environmental nightmare. Literally...STYROFOAM for everything 4x tofu buns + 1 app = enough styrofoam to build a tiny home. read more

Ichiddo is a Japanese chain that has a handful of locations in Minnesota and a couple other states. They have a vegetable ramen ($14) that can be made vegan upon request. The menu is confusing and their online ordering doesn't have an explicit "make vegan" option, so I actually ordered in-person. I wish their online ordering were clearer and inspired more trust. Each additional add-on costs $1.50. I got a measly cube of tofu for that price, so it's annoying that Ichiddo nickel-and-dimes you. The ramen was fine, but nothing I'll remember tomorrow. The salted cucumber appetizer ($5) has kick with sesame oil and Japanese spices; I thought this tasted more flavorful than the ramen. If you're looking for better ramen in the Twin Cities, I'd recommend Ramen Kazama or Tori (and its sister restaurant, Tori 44). read more

First impression of the restaurant was not good. We were seated at a booth. The booth was not clean. There were crumbs on the booth area and it looked like it had not been properly cleaned. The table also had a few sticky areas. Yuck. We ordered a Beef Ramen, Char Siu Ramen, and a takoyaki. The takoyaki was not hot enough inside and there was a sparse amount of benito flakes on top. The beef ramen broth was unsatisfactory. It was not very flavorful and the only thing that saved it was the spicy sauce. There were only a few bamboo shoots and black wood ear mushroom pieces in the ramen. Very stingy with the toppings. Most importantly, the noodles were undercooked. More than just "al dente". The noodles were slightly HARD. Not chewy as good ramen noodles should be. The Char Siu ramen was terrible too. The broth had very little flavor, and the noodles were also undercooked and slightly HARD. I would rather buy instant tonkotsu ramen at the grocery store and cook it at home myself. It would taste better than what I was served at Ichiddo Ramen. I do not recommend this place to anyone who wants some good ramen. If you want undercooked noodles and subpar soup, then go for it. read more

Really great ramen menu! Always worth the visit and the restaurant is well setup for small private couples as well as larger groups.

We came here for a friends birthday dinner after hearing it had replaced the old ramen joint. The atmosphere is wide open to the kitchen with high ceilings and a back bar. It was not a problem for the four of us to get in on a Wednesday night. We walked right in and got to sit in a booth next to the window. The server seemed to be trying to speed us up, but we wanted to sit and socialize with each other for a bit. We ordered edamame and fried veggie egg rolls, which were average. Then each of us ordered a ramen bowl. I had the seafood ramen, which only came with 2 shrimp, 2 clams and maybe a piece of octopus. The broth had a good, yet mild flavor. My friend seemed to enjoy the kimchi with beef ramen bowl. I would give this place another try, but it is not my favorite ramen restaurant in town. read more

Just solid Ramen, served ultra quick. I got the spicy char siu, which hit the spot on a cold Minneapolis day. Nose blowing spicy, lovely soft egg, good broth. I personally wanted a bit more veggies to balance out the noodles, a bit more pork too. But still great and I'd have it again. read more

AMAZING. I mean look at this! The service was great, the ramen was great, the gyozas were great, even the green tea seemed better than what I make at home. I ordered a pot for my family, but I ended up drinking the whole thing. Parking can be hard if the front strip is taken, but not impossible. Stop in Ichiddo to warm up from the MN winter temperatures. The food came out quickly and was exactly what we needed. read more

Soooo... i just happened to find this place on Valentine's day because my gf and I hadn't planned to do too much, but go see a movie and then stop and see a comedy show. Realizing we were going to be hungry, I went on the hunt to find some ramen and on top of that a spot that had an open reservation for 2 on Galentine's day. In luck, we found Ichiddo Ramen! Located on the corner of 27th and Nicollet, directly across from the new building they just erected in the neighborhood (if you're an old skool southsider). They have their own lot, which is a treat in that neighborhood and they have street parking as well. Ambiance: When I first arrived, it was basically empty, with only maybe 4 other tables with guests. by the time we left, the place was packed. LOL It has a cute look, nice décor, a full bar and happy hour. Service: The hostess was cool, my server seemed nervous or new, but was very pleasant. Food: Very memorable. Actually, I've been thinking about this place since Feb14th. Today is March 12th. LMBO I had a cucumber appetizer, with some type of seasoning (pretty darn good), chicken thigh pieces that were deep fried and Red Curry Shrimp Ramen (which was the special for that day) and all of my food was GOOD. My gf is vegan and enjoyed her meal as well. she ordered the veggie eggrolls and a veggie stir fry. She was slightly disappointed that since she paid for extra veggies, that they didn't just give her a mixture of extra types of veggies. LOL They gave her a heck of a lot of onion. I'd like to come back and try other things. read more

The food was okay, I wasn't a huge fan of the vegetable ramen. The service was very friendly though.

Tofu bun - was slightly bland, Vegetable ramen was good, crunchy with its veggies Spicy miso ramen could be made into a vegetarian option, but meat can't be substituted with veggies apparently. It was pretty spicy, but couldn't substitute more veggies as it was being charged read more

My friends and I wanted some ramen in Uptown, and was told about this place. Knowing that they are opening another Ichiddo Ramen in Dinkytown, I was down to go check it out. My Friends and I ordered a bunch of appetizers. 3 Gyozas, 3 takoyaki, one kara age (fried chicken), and one jalapeno crab. The gyozas were really good; it had the classic textures of the fried bottom and the moist top, and the meat was flavorful. The takoyaki was also good. However, this was my first time experiencing a takoyaki without any octopus parts, which was weird. The regular takoyaki flavors were all there though. The kara age was a really good appetizer too! Since it is a pile of small chunks, it was a great share; everyone was able to have a taste. I'm allergic to shell fish (yes I know I'm missing out), so I wasn't able to try the jalapeno crab. But, my friends said it was also really good. I ordered the tsukemen (dipping ramen). The broth was tonkotsu. I ordered extra noodles (extra $2.50), and one extra piece of chashu (extra $1). My tsukemen came. The broth was in a separate bowl, and the noodles, meat, and egg on a plate. I tried the soup first, and was unfortunately let down. The flavor was bland, and the broth was not thick. The traits of a tsukemen is a more concentrated flavor, and thick broth so the noodles can carry its flavors. I ate it with the noodles, still lacks of flavor. The noodles did not carry the broth well. Honestly, it was just a regular bowl of ramen, but lacks in flavor, and mimics tsukemen. What a let down. I tried the egg, and it was a good soft boiled egg. The chashu was quite small, but was pretty good; soft texture and good flavors. My friends said they liked their ramen though (we all ordered different ramen). I tried some of their broth, it was alright. Pretty good, but nothing amazing. Overall, Ichiddo Ramen was alright for me. Their appetizers are good. Their ramen, so-so. Don't get the tsukemen like how I did, stick to their regular ramen if you come here. But even then, their ramen is just alright. Good to fulfil ramen cravings, but not something I'll make my way out for. read more

Walking down Eat Street looking for well, eats, we saw big posters on Ichiddo's windows advertising Japanese skewers (like yakitori). Sold! But when we went in and asked about them, we were told that they didn't have them on the menu yet, and our server didn't have any more information. Hmm. So instead we ordered takoyaki, seasoned cucumber, Tsukemen (dipping) ramen, and beef donburri. The cucumber was refreshing and savory, but it's a really simple dish. The takoyaki was good, but I'm not sure I like that their version is deep-fried and thus oily. The beef donburri was very well done -- the beef was very tender and a little sweet. Comforting! We didn't like the tsukemen ramen because the broth was a little bland and watery. Overall, the meal was a little hit or miss per item. read more

$13.95 char siu ramen (extra spicy) FIVE STARS always a winner here at Ichiddo, the char siu (basically pork belly slices) today was particularly tender & melt in your mouth. Though I asked for extra spicy, the [chili paste] didn't add as much kick as I thought, but it does add additional umami & makes the broth so much better! The soft boiled egg is always perfect & the mushrooms add the noodles are chewy & bouncy. Absolutely recommend Ichiddo. Presentation is on point & service today was excellent. $13 yakitori sampler with tender beef cubes, chicken, shrimp, tofu & mushroom FIVE STARS this was freakin awesome! I'm not a huge fan of just chicken (it has to be cooked a certain way), but the chicken & beef was moist & tender, absolutely flavorful. I've never had tofu outside of soup, & this tofu was crisp on the outside, perfectly cooked & firm. Delicious! read more

This is my favorite ramen place in Minnesota. Yes, I've tried them all. I come here every time I make a trip to Minnesota. My favorite is hands down, the spicy shredded pork ramen. The flavor in the broth, especially when you mix the egg, is so satisfying and hearty. The spicy isn't overpowering, it's just the right amount. The noodles, always cooked to perfection and not overdone. The shredded pork is flavorful and a good amount. I just can't get enough of this place! read more

Came in last week on a cold Thursday evening around 5:30pm and surprisingly it was not busy! The boyfriend and I were greeted right away in Japanese and then seated to our booth. Menus were given to us and cups of water served a few minutes after. The menu comprises a variety of food ranging from appetizers to hot plates and of course, ramen! The space is spacious and there are ample booths and tables throughout. What we ordered: -Beef ramen for the bf. -Kimchi ramen (mine) -Crab jalapeño -Gyoza I enjoyed the kimchi ramen as it encompassed the flavors of both (lightly) spicy and sour. Very flavorful and delicious! I tried my bf's beef ramen and it was good also! You can definitely taste all the flavors in it. Has more of a miso-y, sweet flavor to it. And not much spice to it. The only thing with the ramen is that i wish the portion was a bit more and the noodles to not be as chewy or al dente. The crab jalapeños and gyozas did not disappoint either! I could definitely go for seconds on those! I docked one star because I feel that the service was kinda slow. Our waitresses probably came around like only once to fill up our glasses of water and ask if we needed anything else. They also took a little long to give us our check. Overall, a satisfying experiment and I'd come back again. read more

There are days when only a good bowl of noodles will satisfy. If you are having one of those, Ichiddo Ramen does stave off the noodleholic delirium tremens. I have checked this location out a few times now with consistent experiences overall. I like that there is a small dedicated adjacent parking lot and it is next door to a small Asian grocery store so access is easy and you can grab a meal and a 50 lb bag of rice for home use (lol, don't judge!) at the same stop. What I am less enthusiastic about is the price point. The food is good when you consider you are getting a passable bowl of ramen in the middle of Minnesota but the portions are not large and the pricing seems a bit steep (their ramen offerings range between $11-15) when you consider that within the same area (Eat Street), there are no fewer than 6 Pho shops where you can get a comparable sized bowl of noodles (albeit based on a different geographic genre) for anywhere from $3-6 less. Another example was an order of generic Fried Rice (very tasty but no meat) that ran $8. The portion was not huge, there was no protein in it save for a few scraps of egg, and the entire cost of the ingredients was probably less than $1 all in. Even if you factor in the cost of the cooking and serving labor, that mark up is a bit punishing. As an overall comparison, my tab to eat here with my family is about $25 more for an equivalent amount of food then what we spend at any of the neighboring Pho shops. I agree with the opinions of the other Yelpers on this site that have given this place high marks for their food. I found nothing to complain about with the quality or the taste. I just have a harder time ranking this place up so highly based on the cost. Perhaps I am not a ramen snob and do not understand the specific factors that go into the elevated price of Japanese noodles vs. noodles from other countries. But I also know that it does not make great financial sense to satiate my noodle habit here on a regular basis. read more

I was craving some ramen and stopped here. Service was great, but the food was bad. Calamari for appetizer: for $6 I want more than 4 rings. the sauce was bad too. Beef ribs: again for $6 I expect to eat something, anything.. they were very tiny, the smallest ribs I've ever seen in any restaurant, full of fat only. there was nothing to eat. ribs tend to be fatty, but come on, all fat? I want my money back. Ramen: there's al dante and there's just not done. and the broth was not good on top of too rough undone noodles. Chow mein: just no. Cheapest chinese place will do better tasting one with half the price of $15. After $50, I am hungry and did not enjoy one item. I would not eat here. But the service was fast and good, so I am sticking with 2 stars. This may be a good place to drink, but I cannot with good conscience recommend this place for food. read more

I got the sweet potato fries, calamari, and the kimchi beef ramen. The flavors were there but the portion is super small. I guess they are one of the few ramen places in town so they can up the price and be stingy with the portion. They only gave me two small piece of beef in my ramen! And i paid extra for an egg and it was only half an egg. It was pretty empty on a Sunday night. Probably only two other tables. Service was ok. They never came to check up on us but they were nice. I'm not sure if i would come back here when in town again since the portion was super small. read more

Ehh. Japanese ramen isn't their speciality. The restaurant tries to advertise as Japanese ramen, but they don't it right. The owners are Chinese and the ramen has a more Chinese twist to it than Japanese. My girlfriend got the Char Siu Ramen and I got the Tan Tan Ramen. The Char siu ramen is suppose to be like tonkotsu, but soup lacks pork flavor and pork taste like Chinese BBQ pork meat. It's not terrible, but it's not really that authentic. I got the tan tan ramen because it was the cheapest ramen on the menu. I didn't want to spend so much here cause it didn't look good at all. I'm glad I didn't get the "Japanese ramen". The tan tan ramen was okay, and pretty much what I expected. Not great, but not terrible. I also decided to try out the wings here. They weren't good at all... They're not worth it. The wings are neither crunchy not meaty. They wings are tiny and barely have meat on them. Also they're drenched in this weird spicy wing sauce... and it's not good. It was like 7 bucks for 6 wings... Totally not worth it. I'd rather get the hot wings at KFC. The wings here are seriously lacking.. Tip: Check in for free char siu pork bun. Limit one per table though. I probably wouldn't come back here. read more
