Omg!! I am so glad I got on the trusty yelp app for some ramen! ;) While out here I met up with one of my friends who was telling me their ramen out here is delicious. I picked the ramen spot based on reviews and the photos of the ramen. Ichiro Ramen stood out from the rest. This spot is about 40 mins outside of St. Louis and it was well worth the drive. It's located in a strip mall next door to a grocery store. The restaurant itself is small, yet does have plenty of seating to dine in. We were greeted and immediately sat down. We were asked if we wanted a table or booth. I ordered the Tonkotsu ramen, my friend ordered the seafood ramen extra extra spicy and mg other friend ordered the chicken fried rice since she's not a big fan of Ramen. The waitress brings out our food one at a time and the food looks and smells amazing. I taste my broth and it is chef's kiss all I did was add some hot chili oil for extra flavor and kick. My friend's seafood ramen looked so good snd you can tell hers was super spicy because how rich and deep the color red her broth was and she added a lot of hot chili oil to hers since she loves spice. My friend's chicken fried rice didn't look aesthetically appetizing, but she's said it was tasty. Ichiro is definitely up there as one of the best ramen spots I've been to, it's pretty close next to my favorite ramen spot is Sacramento, Ca Soku Ramen and they speaks volumes. read more

I really like the Ramen here and the chili oil on the table so you can make it spicier. I always get an extra egg and the up charge is fair. The soup dumplings are really good, but you do need to ask for a spoon, which should come with it. The proper way to eat a soup dumpling is to put it on your spoon to bite a hole in the dumpling and empty the soup into the spoon so that it cools and you can eat it and then followed by eating the dumpling. The tuna taco was not for me because it had entirely too much sauce on it. The poke bowl was very good. Service is always very attentive and friendly. This is so close to me that it's a regular stop. read more

The food was ok. Not the worst I have tasted. The service is amazing though and the place is small but beautiful put together, with perfect decoration. The ramen doesn't not taste better to go. It's simply ok. read more

I've been here several times now and have always enjoyed the ingenuity and variety Ichiro Ramen offers. The menu isn't overwhelming in size and has things organized into categories making it easy to navigate. They offer everything from poke bowls to ramen bowls while also offering traditional Chinese dishes like General Tsao's chicken. The Sushi tacos are a unique take on your traditional sushi rolls, and the appetizers offered are both unique and traditional. The Takoyaki octopus balls are filled with savory seafood goodness and the Japanese take on jalapeño poppers is a unique option. The interior is vibrant and modern and the staff always greets you with a smile and a welcome as soon as you walk in. read more

This is a smaller restaurant very intimate. They had a large menu with a lot of options for Ramen. I am doing 75. Hard and I met in my book club here so I did not order anything but I did have a small sheet when one of my friends ordered fried Oreos, they were so good. I only wish they did fried double stuffed Oreos and then put some powdered sugar on top. The Oreos were thin and no flavoring on the outside so kind of land but still a nice little treat. The restaurant was very clean. The restrooms are very clean. The staff was super friendly and constantly filling up our cups, as well as checking on us highly recommend. read more

Stopped here for lunch with a coworker and definitely will be coming back, Ichiro Ramen has amazing food with quick service, there is a large dining area with tables and booths that can fit small groups or large groups, large windows for natural light, but a very calming atmosphere, I ate the shrimp, sushi tacos, and the Ichiro Ramen, the spice was perfect, but not too spicy and the portion sizes were definitely good, I will definitely be coming back here read more

Omg - this was SO GOOD! You know what's real satisfying from a day of moving your items into your new place? Taking a break and having really yummy food to refuel. We ordered online directly on their website and went in for pick up. They have a big menu, but everything looked so good. Our order was Unagi Don, Lunch combo of veggie lo mein and rice, and fried ramen Every bite was really so good! Hopefully we can stop by here again and sit in, but we definitely found a great one! read more

Had to go back, even though we were just there 3 days ago, took different family members. We did Crab Rangoon and Spring Roll appetizers, yummy!! Orange chicken and shrimp tempura tacos. Orange chicken is listed as hot, but was manageable as my family doesn't care for heat. We must talk about the tempura shrimp tacos. Perfection! Seaweed taco shells. Sticky rice, lettuce, and huge tempura shrimp on top, with the perfect sauces, a little spicy, a little sweet. Again, service amazing. Cleanliness of restaurant, flawless. I can't wait to go back again!! read more

Such a fun stop for lunch- we got this as a work lunch and it was great! Hot ramen and spicy broths are the best in the winter! You should stay and eat in- but the to-go was excellent for us! read more

We stopped in for lunch. First noticed how clean and nicely decorated the restaurant was. We were immediately greeted with a smile and warm welcome. The service was very on point. I got a combo with miso soup, orange chicken and fried rice. Soup came out first, hot and comforting. We also had a Crab Rangoon appetizer which was delicious, hot, crispy, sweet, and creamy. My orange chicken was hot and crispy with a sweet light orange flavor, the fried rice was tasty and not greasy. Thanks for the great meal. read more

Ichiro Ramen - Dining area from the corner. - Ramen Near Me - St. Peters, Missouri

After being outside in the cold for a bit, we were looking to warm up with ramen for dinner which led us to try Ichiro Ramen. It was the closest ramen place in the area we were. Our waitress was very friendly and provided great service. The menu is very extensive. My daughter ordered the pork gyoza for an appetizer. She liked the gyoza but said the sauce was ok. It was on the sweeter side, which she did not prefer. Their menu does not specify the type of ramen broth so I was glad I asked. Their broth is pork based but they will allow you to substitute to a vegetable or chicken broth. I chose the Ichiro chicken ramen and asked for the chicken broth and my daughter chose Chicken Katsu ramen prepared with the regular broth. Their ramen was just ok to us. It was honestly pretty bland. Not only was the broth bland but my chicken was pretty bland as well and some of my noodles were stuck together. My daughter said her chicken katsu was ok but seemed to have a sweetness to it as well. We tried to doctor them up with the soy sauce and chili oil on the table but it didn't really help. My daughter ordered the mango Mochi for dessert but it was frozen really hard making of difficult to eat. Because they have such a large menu, I would go back to see how other dishes compare. I just would chose other places for ramen. read more

After church today, we decided to treat ourselves to some post-sermon slurping at Ichiro, the new ramen spot that's practically within noodle-tossing distance from our house. Naturally, we couldn't resist comparing it to our reigning ramen champion--Nudo. Because when you've pledged loyalty to a bowl of broth, every new contender gets judged like it's auditioning for a Michelin star... or at least a spot in our weekly dinner rotation. Let's start with the soup--the soul of any ramen bowl. And I say "soul" because if ramen were a religion, broth would be the holy spirit. In this sacred category, Nudo still holds the crown. Their broth is thicker, richer, and tastes like it's been simmering since the dawn of time. Ichiro's soup was decent, but it didn't quite baptize my taste buds the way Nudo's does. I need my broth to whisper secrets of umami and possibly my future. Ichiro's just said, "Hi." Next up: wait time. At Ichiro, we waited a solid 15 minutes, which isn't bad unless you've got hangry kids or a spouse who starts eyeing the decorative plants like they might be edible. Nudo, on the other hand, is like the ramen version of NASCAR--food arrives in under 5 minutes, and you're slurping before you've even finished saying "extra napkins, please." BUT--and this is a big, steamy, pork-belly-sized but--Ichiro has its own set of wins. It's cheaper (which means more money left over for dessert or gas), the menu is massive (I think they even had ramen with corn, which feels illegal but intriguing), and the ambiance is surprisingly classy. Like, "I could host a business lunch here and still order gyoza" classy. It's also way bigger than Nudo, so you're less likely to elbow someone mid-noodle lift. And the serving size? Let's just say I left with a belly full of broth and no regrets. Plus, it's close to home. Like, dangerously close. Like, "we might start going here every time someone in the house says the word 'noodle'" close. So yes--we'll definitely be back. Because while Nudo still wins in soup and speed, Ichiro's got charm, choices, and the kind of proximity that makes it hard to say no. And really, who wants to say no to ramen? read more

Need something comforting with the cold weather? Get some Ramen! I tried the Katsu Chicken and it hit the spot. It was hot and delicious. I also loved the shrimp taco. Just an FYI, you get two even though the listing is singular taco. The Rangoon were on the sweet side. Our server was friendly and they were very busy on a Saturday night, so plan accordingly. read more

- The food was nothing short of spectacular, I felt like I was eating the food straight out of Ghibli Studios Ponyo movie. The gyoza and dumplings were tasty and the dipping sauce was the perfect mix of sweet and tangy. - Our server, Nancy, was great she brought our drinks, appetizers, entrees, and desert out very quickly and was on top of making sure we had everything we needed! - My first glance walking into this place had me saying "wow" because it was so cute and clean. They had a design to the layout that gave a Japan street food feel in the best way possible. Plus everything you could need was on the table for you to get including tissues which is a plus during allergy season. read more

TAKE OUT REVIEW: My husband and I got their food to go. Arguably ramen is a difficult thing to eat at home when it is not prepared for you. That being said, it was still pretty tasty. We loved their soup dumplings! Overall the food was pretty good! I think we would have it enjoyed more if we went in person. read more

We were greeted right away with smiles and everything was clean. There were a few families there but overall the seating was spacious. The service was fine though she messed up on what I ordered. The food though was mediocre. Definitely Chinese flavors with the protein being pretty rubbery. Maybe ordering the Chinese food would have been better than the ramen? read more

I have been twice in one week. So good. Service is so good and quick. I have had the salmon sushi taco and the crab and cheese sushi taco. My favorite was the salmon but both are sooo good. There's a good amount of space but I've only been with a party of 2 and then 3. The tonkatsu ramen was 10 out of 10. There's lots of cute decor items. AND THERE IS DIET DR PEPPERRRR. read more

on the plus side, the remodel of the former Mandarin Garden space looks nice. All new furniture and lots of wood. Service is very pleasant. The food looks and smells very good, but my entree was not prepared as i anticipated - a more detailed menu would help. What i thought would be sauteed came dredged in flour and deep fried. I ate the side of "ok" fried rice and took my entree home for my son to eat. He reported the tofu very good but the tonkatsu ramen as, "eh". My dining companion really liked the steamed potstickers but didn't like the orange chicken as well. I'd try again, but make sure my next attempt isn't going to be floured. read more

I've been here 3 times. Once for food, twice for tea. All takeout. This place has had long wait times. And the worst has been for basic tea orders with 3 drinks. 20 minute estimate from the app, and I still waited 5 minutes after coming in to pickup. They also need to improve their online menu. Clunky and unfinished. It's a nice looking place, they just need better customer service. read more

A lovely contemporary Asian restaurant has moved into the old Mandarin Garden location in the Schnucks Plaza. It was quite busy when I entered. I was pleasantly surprised that my take-out order was ready even before the promised time. The ambience is a feast for the eyes. It's bright, and colorful. It seems like a great spot for a date night. They share the parking lot with other businesses and there is plenty of parking. We ordered our food as takeout on this visit. The miso soup was better than average. The side salad was quite plain and nothing special. My dining companion gave the General Tso's chicken a 7/10. What I was really impressed by was the customer service. I was greeted immediately by three different employees when I entered the restaurant, and they were very attentive and friendly while I was there. I'm planning on a return visit, to dine in and try the ramen. read more

Incredible food and service is excellent. Have been multiple times and never let down. The atmosphere is excellent as well.

I vomited violently after eating delivery from here. We ordered two combo plates and edamame; Hibachi Chicken and General Tso's Chicken. Both with fried rice and miso soup. The edamame was good, but lacked enough salt. The miso was typical, but the broth tasted watered down, and the portion wasn't what I was expecting. While I was still eating the Hibachi Chicken, my stomach felt a little strange. I got nauseous very quickly, and shortly thereafter, I watched all the rice I just ate go from my mouth into the toilet rather forcefully. BTW - and I know this is a lot of gross information - I vomit like, once or twice a year. I don't get sick from alcohol, I'm not on any crazy meds, everything else I ate was normal, usual. And I felt better immediately afterwards. That's the long way of saying it... The short way of saying it is eating food from this restaurant made me very sick. Aside from the puking, the fried rice was nothing to write home about. There were just a few scattered pieces of egg in it - and it lacked flavor. Usually, it's a darker color, but this fried rice was very light colored. The veggies were just ok. Mushrooms, zucchini, onion; the usual characters. There wasn't much chicken in the dish, but in hindsight, I guess that's good? It had zero flavor or seasoning. No richness to the sauce. Bland. A bit overpriced, even for a lunch combo, imho. read more

Visited this restaurant for the first time. They have another location in Telegraph Rd. We both ordered the tonkotsu ramen. Ramen was not authentic, more like a Chinese version. We both felt the broth could be richer. Calamari and shrimp pan fried dumplings were meh. I didn't feel good after eating the ramen tho. Service was pleasant. Unfortunately, the quality wasn't there so I won't return. read more

I had been wanting to try Ichiro Ramen for a couple of months. After reading the menu I ended up ordering the Super Ichiro Ramen (Pork, chicken charshu, bamboo shoots, seasoned egg, green onion, fish cake, spinach, black garlic oil) and a drink. There were a number of people in here and I was watching some of the other food come out. The appetizers I saw appeared to be your basic bagged frozen dumplings. The ramen looked nice when it came out. This was marketed as spicy with a little pepper near it on the menu but I would not call it spicy. Even the chili oil on the table didn't really add much heat. I enjoyed the broth and the pork. I though the chicken was a little plain. I did not think the black garlic oil had any flavor at all if it was there. All in all this is a fine choice if you have to have ramen in St. Charles but I'd prefer to skip it and have something better on the mainland. Service is friendly. read more

I was very, very impressed with my ramen here. I met a good friend for a late dinner and we got sat and taken care of right away. I got the spicy miso ramen and I've had dreams about it since! I appreciated their decor as well; it wasn't just a hole in the wall, very cute inside! read more

I dropped in to Ichiro Ramen for lunch after a movie on a Saturday, upon arrival I was immediately greeted and seated by a friendly staff, and drink orders were swiftly taken. The dining area was split level with both booths and tables, full windows lit much of the restaurant, which was especially nice during this mostly sunny day. I ordered a matcha milk tea and honey dew milk tea without boba, which were fantastic tasting, not too sweet. I ordered soup dumplings, tuna sushi tacos, edamame and a pork bun for appetizers, the soup dumplings were solid and provided a good chew, the pork bun was fluffy and the chashu was melt in the mouth good, the Tuna on the Tuna Tacos was somewhat too sweet, however the fried nori shells were pleasant, and the edamame was steamed and salted well. The chicken katsu don was well seasoned and perfectly crispy, the katsu was not too soft or hard and the chicken was moist, the ajitama was a truly nice touch that elevated the donburi experience, the steamed rice was an average medium grain, the Unagi Don was well seasoned with full cuts of unagi smothered in unagi sauce, the pairing with their fried rice added a nice combination of flavor, the fried rice wasn't overly complicated with unnecessary fillers, primarily flavored with eggs, soy sauce, and sesame notes, the only criticism I have of the donburi was the bed of cabbage, which isn't typical of a donburi and could have lead to soggy bottoms of the katsu, which wasn't the case in this instance due to the freshness and swiftness of our server Emily, however if you order a katsu don online I would suggest asking for no cabbage or cabbage on the side to avoid potentially compromising the crispness of the katsu. I also ordered an oreo bingsu and mango bingsu, both were sweet melt in your mouth treats, the added whipped cream was a little indulgent and too sweet for my taste, but if you're looking for something sweet I highly suggest trying the bingsu here. Overall the experience was great here, fantastic and friendly service with a smile from Emily, and the cooks do a good job of crafting solid dishes for a nice casual meal. read more

My wife and I went here for a dinner around 6:30 pm. The restaurant was very crowded but we were able to get a table immediately. The restaurant is decorated well. There were a lot of servers and three of them came to our table for our order. We ordered the Gyoza pork. It was pretty good but could have cooked more evenly. We ordered the Super Ichiro Ramen and the Beef Don. It took a very long, around 30 minutes for our food. They were both good but we would have liked to have more vegetables in both of them. We both had water and the total bill with tip was $48. Good but not great. read more

Place is decorated nicely and staff was welcoming. Seated quickly and server arrived promptly. Crab Rangoon was hot and fresh with a fair amount of filling. Sweet and sour dipping sauce had great flavor and wasn't overly sweet. Gyoza were pretty standard - unfortunately halfway through the ordered I went to pick one up and saw a very black and long hair on one of them. As I and my dining companion are both blonde I knew for certain this wasn't our hair. Manager came out quickly when I brought this up to the waiter. She was very apologetic, offered to make us a new batch (which I declined) and she took it off the bill. She immediately went back and addressed with the kitchen (we heard her) so we will let this slide this one time. Ramen was good and plentiful. I do agree with some of the other reviews that note there is some room for stronger flavor in the broth. Menu so big and extensive ramen, noodles, rice, terriaki, poke bowls, and some standard Asian fare. Nice new option to the area. I will be back. read more

I wish I could come back everyday, would recommend to literally everyone. Also the waitress was super duper sweet, and the ambiance was very good, well decorated read more

Very disappointed. I had high hopes but it was a miss. My husband's spicy ramen wasn't spicy and had no depth of flavor. My Hawaiian bowl seriously had as much tuna as one nigiri, two cucumbers, three tiny chunks of canned pineapple and a scoop of canned corn. There was no shortage of over powering red onions, however. The miso soup was forgettable and the hot tea was tepid at best. There are too many good Asian places to waste your money here. read more
