I am Asian and I won't recommend it if you want to try ramen. It is just horrible for an Asian. The egg and bamboo shoot are both cold, i mean i know they are pre cooked but can't you guys warm them up in the broth first? The charsiu pork チャーシュー is sour to taste. Noodle is not ramen noodles. Broth is fine I guess. Also why so many spring onions. Service is ok I guess, price is fine but definitely not worth it. read more

Amazing experience and delicious ramen. Service is very attentive and the drinks are delicious.

The food, an authentic Ramen and the service. Small place but a good choice for Ramen.

This is our first meal in Miami and we were absolutely disappointed. The two bowls of ramen were by far the worst we had ever had. We got the ichimi ramen and the spicy one. The broth is ok, but it is lukewarm. The toppings are all cold, like right out the fridge cold. The pork has no flavor at all, like it was just boiled in plain hot water. Actually, it tastes yucky because of how fatty it is. I gagged and had to trim off all the fat. The egg is pretty good but cold. Here comes the worst part - the noodle is way overcooked and mushy. Either their quality has gone downhill or we ordered the wrong foods on the wrong day. It is not a 4 stars restaurant. The only star is for the staff. read more

Walked in on a Sunday noon, it was quite empty so I get seated right away. The server walked over and poured water into the glass on my table and walked away without saying anything. Pretty soon like a minute later and they walked back to me to take an order. Im usually quick at making a decision on what to get so it was fine with me. But they didn't even mention the menu or anything like that in the beginning.. The inside ambiance is modern clean and nice. In my opinion, the pop music is a little too loud as it makes conversation a little more challenging. They have a good variety of ramen options, and I went with their signature tonkotsu ramen and their popular homemade ramen. They have a decent amount of meat, egg tasted great runny yolk, but I'm struggle to see what is the wow factor. The soup was creamy but overly salty. Noodle was ok, thin and so sort of overcooked. When you cook noodles in starchy water, you can easily taste it which I did in this case. I am a huge fan of ramen so I have tasted many many ramen places. I wouldn't mind coming back to this place, but this is like something I will dream about eating everyday. read more

Ichimi - Gables - Found in my Ichimi Pork Ramen - wtf is this? - Ramen Near Me - Coral Gables, Florida

I've been coming to Ichimi since 2017, and in all that time the quality of their food has never wavered. Ichimi is the gold standard for ramen in South Miami, and it's obvious the owner and chefs have an incredible passion and respect for Japanese food. On the menu, you'll find several choices to satisfy your ramen craving, but you'll also have the chance to try a number of Japanese snacks and appetizers, including Takoyaki, Pork Gyoza, and Pork Belly Bao buns (sense a theme in my taste?). When you go, you HAVE to try the "Ichimi Ramen", a classic, unbelievably creamy tonkotsu that exemplifies comfort food in the truest sense of the word. The ingredients used in the dishes are of the highest quality; you'll never catch them dead serving you a bowl with curly pre-packaged noodles or over-boiled, unmarinated eggs like some other ramen places in the area. If you're looking for quality ramen that won't break the bank, Ichimi is the place to go! Tip: Stop by between 12 and 3 on weekdays and ask for their lunch special - for a discounted price, you can get a bowl of ramen and two appetizers! It's a great way to try a little of everything Ichimi has to offer. read more

The best pork belly buns ever! Great service. Reasonable prices. The fried chicken rice bowl is a little spicy as it's a curry. The garden ramen bowl was my favorite. Both are very big servings. I had a glass of sauvignon blanc with my meal. The restaurant is small, but clean and inviting. I would definitely return. read more

Come with me to Ichimi, their Coral Gables location, to try Ramen for the first time. I know I'm late to the game with Ramen, but I'm a fan now. My little sister said Ichimi had the best ramen, so I said let's go. To drink, I went with a Japanese Beer, Coedo Marihana Ipa, with a medium body and citrusy aroma it was great. For starters, we did the Rib Bao Buns and the Crispy Pig Ears. The Rib Bao Buns were delicious, and the rib was tender--the combination of the rib with slaw and the fluffy and soft buns made for a delightful bite. My sister wanted Crispy Pig Ears, and they were good. The pig ears were indeed crispy and had a sweetness to them, but a bit too chewy for me. For the ramen, we both had the Ichimi Ramen made with a Ton Katsu base, scallions, kikurage mushroom, bean sprouts, bamboo shoots, and hanjuku egg (I opted out of the egg), and we did a side of pork. The broth was rich in flavor and creamy. The pork was tender. I liked the noodles. I tried everything in the bowl except for the nori since I'm not fond of the texture. The ramen is served in a large bowl and is very filling. Overall, I loved Ichimi. The food was excellent, and the service was lovely. I liked ramen more than I thought I would and ate more than my sister and I thought I would. I definitely need to work on my chopstick skills, but I will be back for the ramen and Bao Buns. read more

Came back to Ichimi after years of not coming back and it was still a great experience! Didn't get ramen since I was craving some light fares for a snack. Let me be honest, I only came here for the crispy pig ears. I'm not sure if they changed recipes over the years but these pig ears are by far the best recipe they've had. It was lightly salted, very crunchy, with a hint of sweetness to it! I would come back just for these pig ears! I love the Kraken Buns, they're my personal favorite but I opted for the shrimp buns this time. Overall great experience, friendly staff, and good vibes. Till next time! read more

Superb ramen and excellent beer selection. The spicy ramen I opted for boasted an impressive heat level and rich taste, thanks to the abundance of vegetables and chili oil. A heap of green onions provided a wonderful complexity to the dish, a feature that sets it apart from others. The broth and pork belly were truly delightful. As for the Japanese IPA I savored, it was truly outstanding. With a wide array of options available, I am eagerly looking forward to returning and exploring more delectable offerings from their menu. read more

This was my first experience having Ramen & I LOVED it! We sat down pretty fast & ordered right away. I got the Spicy Miso Ramen, it was the perfect amount of spice & flavor!

I would definitely come back to Ichimi and try more dishes & Ramens! read more

I took my nephew here for lunch, and he loved it! He's been eagerly asking when I'll bring him back. We'll definitely be returning soon!

Came here last week when the temperatures started to get a little cooler. I think a lot of people had the same idea because there was a line out the door! We didn't mind waiting and were seated around 40 minutes after we arrived. I opted to get the #2 which is a tonkatsu based broth. This little bowl warmed up my soul and I had enough left overs for a little lunch the next day. I ordered mine with pork but my friend decided to try the chicken wontons and I think next time I will do just that as the pork can be a little fatty. Others in my party ordered the Black Dragon Ramen which literally was black! It was super garlicky so if you love garlic this is up your alley. We also ordered the Soul Rice bowl which was surprisingly delicious. I didn't realize they offered rice bowls so this was a nice surprise. All in all it was a great experience. read more

I've always seen this place but never realized it was ichimi! Small places like this one are popular for a reason. I came on a weekday during the holidays and it was still packed! We had the pork bao buns and ramen and the pork was so good. I'm a big fan of bao buns when they have cucumber inside. The ramen was also very fresh. They give you two different options for your noodles. For dessert we kept it simple with the mochi read more

I was pretty excited to try out this place after seeing all the raving reviews on Google Reviews and Yelp. Ramen is one of my favorite foods so I had high expectations coming in. Came for a weekend lunch and there was seriously nobody there, we were the only people in the store for about 20 minutes which I was not expecting. The waiters were all very courteous to us and we got our food very quickly. I ordered the Ichimi Ramen which is their standard tonkatsu ramen and honestly I have to say that I wasn't a fan. The ramen broth itself was very buttery, like you could taste the butter in the broth which is weird because that's usually not an ingredient in there. The sliced woodear mushrooms were very hard and the bamboo shoots had a very distinct canned taste to them, like they were not incorporated into the broth at all. Even the egg wasn't mind-blowing which is usually always the star of the dish. Was honestly pretty disappointed with this ramen. Not sure if I will come back to be honest, but +1 for the friendly servers and how fast our food came out. I think after we ordered, we must have only waited 5 minutes before the ramen came and we got the checks immediately after we finished which was nice. read more

Came here on a weekday for dinner. No one greets you at the door. You have to learn from the 15+ other people waiting outside that you have to write your name on a paper to wait for your name to be called. Once seated, we had to ask for our order to be taken and be given water. The food arrived barely 10 minutes after and was incredible. The spicy ramen was so flavorful and perfect for a cold Miami night. I would probably order a different appetizer. I did not like how the pork belly bao buns came with mayo. Overall, this place is severely understaffed. Only 2 people running the whole show other than the kitchen. Food is great, hiring even just one more person would take them to the next level. read more

This place took a while to grow on me but it's become my go-to when I see movies at the theatre nearby.

Would recommend the window side seating. read more

The food is great, really really good. The issues here come from staff attention today detail and ambience. The bad first: this restaurant plays explicit music loudly in the restaurant. If you have young children or are sensitive to songs with inappropriate words, this restaurant plays that. I saw a mother covering her child's ears a few times during dinner when heavy vulgar language was used in songs. Second, while sparkling water is complimentary, staff do not pay attention to detail and refill your cup with whatever they have in their hand. I had sparkling water that was running low, and staff just came by and didn't ask what I was drinking, just filling it up with regular water. Now the good. Gyoza is awesome. Those homemade pork dumplings are so delicious and served with an awesome soy sauce that has some tang in it. The ramen is excellent. It is a little more expensive that other places since all toppings are extra, but it is nice that they give complimentary chili oil. The noodles are great, the pork is chewy and fatty, and the broth is delicious. read more

Came here on a Sunday for lunch and was seated immediately. Ended up getting the #2 Ichimi Ramen. What a good classic: I chose the house-made thin noodles which felt fresh with that ideal chew. The broth was satisfying with the savory soy sauce and black garlic oil. If you like spicy, make sure you ask for the chili oil, which you'll add in yourself. I may have added a little too much, but whoo that was painfully good. For each ramen, I like there's a choice for different proteins. For #2, you get to choose between pork, wonton, beef (+$1.50), or rib (+$1.50), and I ended up choosing the wontons as the protein. I really liked how uniquely flat the wontons were, and the meat was lightly flavored--definitely would get them again. Service was super fast, the ramen came in less than 10 minutes. and the servers were on top of refilling waters. As for parking, you'll have to do street parking (pay by mobile) or there are nearby parking garages to also choose from. Grabbed an Ichimi Gyudon to-go to eat later for dinner. Chose this since unlike ramen, I didn't have to worry about the soup or the noodles changing texture. If you like sweet savory dish, order this! It's definitely on the sweet side for sure loaded with caramelized onions, but there's also so much flavor and texture with the soy sauce, fatty meat, soft rice, and runny egg. Such good comfort food. Reheated it (not including the egg), and I was amazed that 6 hours later the egg was still runny. All in all great food for both dine-in and take out. Will definitely come back! read more

Man I don't understand all the five star reviews for this place, it's average at best. And this is the second time I try Ichimi, I came I year ago and an underwhelming experience also. I wanted to give them the benefit of the doubt, but I was disappointed once again. The porky buns are too salty and chewy for me. The spicy miso ramen is alright, nothing to brag about, and the pork was also very chewy. Fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me. I will never come back to this place. read more

Nice unassuming place with authentic ramen. We usually add some apps like the dumplings, salad, and various spiced interesting things like duck wings or pork ears. The service is efficient and friendly and the prices are very fair. Best bargain in the gables for a quick dinner! read more

Service was friendly. Prices are fair. Food did not take long to arrive. We had the Ichimi ramen, Soul Ramen, dumplings, edamame, and Takoyaki ball. All food was good. Ramen broth had a nice flavor and the house noodles had a good texture. We ordered one ramen with pork and another with wonton. I preferred the pork as it was more flavorful than the wonton. Takoyaki balls were flavorful but not my favorite as they had a gooey consistency and very little octopus in the center. Ramen portions are large. We shared 2 ramen among 3 people. With 3 appetizers we had enough ramen leftovers to take home. read more

Look.. I'm not the type of person who is in their target demographic but I was treated kindly and the food was excellent.

This is hands down the best ramen place we've ever been to--and it's become our ultimate comfort food destination.

This place is really my favorite ramen restaurant in Miami. This last time we went we decided to try the soft crab buns as pictures and I was impressed that they had this delicacy on the menu in the first place. They were yummy and glad I got to try that. As for the ramen it is always so flavorful and savory. I have had the spicy miso, curry, and ichimi ramen and all were good but my favorite is the very traditional ichimi ramnen. All ingredients inside the ramne are delicious but my favorite is the egg. Very filling dishes. Restaurant itself is pretty standard and always clean. Service is good.

I've lived and worked in the Gables area for the last ten years and ichimi has always been a go to spot for me. It's a ramen spot so naturally I got the ramen! I've only gone during lunch and they have a special that includes ramen, gyoza and spring salad. All three are delicious not matter which combination of meat you get. Make sure you try the chili oil! It's a spicy but well worth adding it to your ramen. The service is fantastic and they are attentive when you arrive. It does get busy during lunch times so be prepared for a small wait. The space itself is fairly small but comfortable and enjoyable. I 100% recommend coming to ichimi if you are looking for a good ramen spot in downtown gables read more

5-star service, 5-star food, 5-star ambience. Very good ramen bowls served up with a smile in a very cool little venue in the Gables. 5-star service. So we decided to bicycle over to the Gables for a kick boxing class (from Miami Beach...ha, what jock boys : ) The great service started at the door when they welcomed us wholeheartedly despite us looking sweaty and rough around the edges. They even gave us pointers on where to stash the bikes safely during the meal. Service during the meal was also terrific, with humor and explanations throughout. 5-star food. OK, I know this is sacrilege but the last time I had ramen noodles they came in a freeze dried pack and you poured boiling water over them, then sprinkled a seasoning pack on top...I think I was 18 and trying to make cheap food in college. Well, these decidedly ain't ya freeze-dried ones, papi. Edamame wasn't the usual blandish boiled soybean pods, but significantly spicy...I was actually sort of making rude noises getting all the spice off the outside of the seed pods LOL. Curry ramen was also a perfectly spiced dish. My other half had something called black dragon ramen but liked it so much he refused to share even one bite... 5-star ambience. This location is as glam as the Fountainebleau and Midtown locations, but a little more serene. The interior is beautiful and has enough sound absorbing soft surfaces it's quiet even when crowded. Coral Gables in general is sort of Miami's Beverly Hills, meaning it's upscale, beautiful and a little hard to park. Funny aside: even the bike rack had a BMW (bicycle) parked there. read more
