    I'm a ramen girly and I love trying new ramen restaurants! This was highly recommended to me by a coworker of mine. I went with two of my girlfriends and we were slightly disappointed. We ordered the broccolini and cucumbers as appetizers. The broccolini was such a disappointment. I pictured a lot of whipped tofu in this dish & chili crisp and it had neither. The broccolini was also in like 3 large chunks so we weren't even able to really share it or cut it. We did ask for a knife but they weren't able to bring us one. Would have been nice for this to be cut up a little more to be able to eat this. We did enjoy the shoyu cucumbers. They were a lot smaller than I was also picturing but they were pretty good! One of my friends ordered the Shio Ramen and she said she really liked the flavor of the ramen broth and texture of the house-made noodles. She wishes the egg was cut in half but really liked how the egg was cooked. Two of us ordered the vegetarian ramen with regular house noodles with an added egg. I loved the egg as well, but do wish it was cut in half. This made it a little awkward to eat because I only had chopsticks so cutting it was a little tricky. My dish came with very little chili crisp so it was very bland. I ended up asking for soy sauce just to add to my broth to give is some kind of flavor. It didn't help much. My friend had a little bit more chili crisp in her dish. I did like the noodles. Thought it was odd that all dishes didn't come with an egg, usually the vegetarian ones don't because they're more vegan friendly so that didn't seem uncommon for me to add an egg to my dish, but my friend that ordered the Shio Ramen thought hers would have automatically come with an egg. Parking wasn't as bad as I anticipated it being. We were all able to find street parking. I don't think I'll be back here. I think there are better ramen places around.

    This ramen spot is located in 9th and is a great option for really good ramen! The Tonkotsu broth was rich, creamy and had lots of Umami flavor. We also got the TanTan which was a great option too. The ramen noodles were cooked perfectly and I loved the all around flavor of both broths. My only complaint was that towards the end both broths seemed too salty but it still tasted good! The ambiance was great and I loved the decorations inside. You order from your phone through a QR code which I've noticed a lot of other restaurants doing too. I do miss talking to a waiter and ordering the usual way but ordering through your phone is a good option too.

    Elk ramen

    First time coming here. Came right before it got busy. But unfortunately they were out of most of the ramen items and some appetizers. I ended up getting the pork shoyu- and added an egg to it. The noodles were good and broth was light. Wish there were more topping options. Also got the shoyu elk bison. Meat was very tender and the wonton it had in it was delicious. Broth was the same as the other dish. Overall place had good service and food was good. Just wish they weren't out of most of the items I wanted to try. Space is small so it isn't good for bigger groups. But still come and give it a try :)

    Just the basic but delicious! It was especially good on a 30 degree day!

    Very tasty and soothing to the soul. The egg was the nice touch that made it special.

    Lobster ramen

    Loved the lobster ramen. Took quite some time for them to make it... 35 min, actually. My friends got their food before me and we noticed other tables who came after us got their ramens before us.

    Came here for a pop up hand roll night and I never knew this spot existed before! It's in one of my favorite downtown neighborhoods, but somehow I've overlooked it. The space itself is awesome, with two floors and tasteful art with an open kitchen format. On the evening I visited, they weren't serving ramen but the rolls we ordered were delicious. Only reason I'm leaving 4 stars is because service was a bit lackluster and inattentive. I'd love to come back and try their ramen soon!

    Vegan ramen
    Selma K.

    Ramen was okay! They only had one vegan/vegetarian option, so it was a little disappointing if you are restricted to not eating meat. The vegan ramen was fine but would have liked more tofu or vegetables in it. The noddles were great tho.

    Ramen!

    We were lucky enough to go on one of the nights they had flown a chef from Japan. And we were so happy we made it in that night by a hair! The service was phenomenal, very polite and prompt. The vibe was dope fun music and inviting. With cute neon lights and plants and chalk board with the house rules on it. We loved the whole esthetic vibe they created! We can't wait to go again.

    shoyu ramen
    Claire P.

    great spot for a quick little date. It's a bit small inside but tables quickly opened up. The service was delightful from the young lady, it seemed like she was the only waitress/hostess/busser but she was friendly, quick and attentive. The ramen was nothing crazy special but had nice flavor and taste. Tasty and authentic, all you can ask for :)

    Truffle Chicken Paitan Ramen and Triple Threat Shoyu Ramen
    Cameron P.

    TLDR: This place was good, and we'll probably come back to try more dishes. My wife and I heard good things, so we wanted to check it out. We got the Truffle Chicken Paitan and the Triple Threat Shoyu ramen. Both were very good and umami. The house-made noodles were definitely one of the highlights as they had the perfect al dente texture. One thing we wished was better was the temperature. It was fairly warm to begin with, but quickly got colder as we ate. It's possible that that was due to the fact that we came right at opening. As far as service goes, our server did a good job at checking in on us. We asked for a table instead of a counter, and they were happy to seat us at the table instead. The restaurant and seating area are small, so be aware. It was well-kept and clean if not a little chilly (on an especially cold January day). Whatever the case may be, we still enjoyed our food and will return to try more things.

    Ramen Ichizu is my personal favorite ramen spot of all time -- any state in the US, anywhere. I've been eating Chef Mike's ramen since his only shop was Hana! One thing that I really like about his ramen, especially the style he serves up at Ramen Ichizu, is how often I can find myself wanting it. By that I mean, many ramen places I can only eat every once in awhile, because ramen in the US is typically very rich, strong, salty, etc, which are not bad things necessarily, but it's an every once in awhile affair. Every bowl I have from Ramen Ichizu is light, easy on my stomach, and so fulfilling. I have come for different popups with creators from Japan, and different specials, but my favorite has got to be their Shoyu. Right now my favorite is specifically the Elk Shoyu. Before I ate their shoyu, I actually hated shoyu ramen as a whole, and only stuck to tonkotsu (mostly that's the only good style you can get at the places I've been). Shoyu in many places tastes way too salty, and is way too dark/soy sauce heavy for my taste, but I can tell that Ramen Ichizu makes theirs specially and authentically by hand, to the point where it actually changed shoyu from being my least favorite to my most favorite type of ramen (as long as it's theirs!) I love the cute little shop. It's my favorite place to come in to grab a simple bite before going to the movies. I always love sitting at the bar so I can watch them cook up the ramen. Earlier, service could be a little slow, but ever since they switched to using Toast tab it's been a breeze. Even before that, I was always willing to wait for a bowl. To me, the price they charge compared to other ramen shops is reflective of the quality craftsmanship of the dish, with every part cooked from scratch. It's more than worth it to me! Keep doing great things Ramen Ichizu! :-)

    Limited menu experience
    Kyle D.

    We've gone here twice now, and both times have been amazed that a place like this can exist in utah. The ramen is simple and focuses on ingredients and craftsmanship, true to japanese form, but they'll often take a unique spin on things like an elk broth with rare elk chashu topping (which i think has become a permanent menu item). The meals are a tad expensive, but for the quality of food and experience of eating it, it's well worth it.

    "Everything" bowl
    Ha B.

    I was so excited to try this place out since hearing only great things from a fellow Yelp Elite. However, this didn't live up to expectations. What's good: the ramen is pretty tasty and is not overly salty at all (which I love). They also have more protein options to choose from. What's not so good: the service...honestly this was one of the few times where a bad service ruined the meal--we put in our order but couldn't get anyone to bring out our beer, even after asking for it twice...we were just ignored. And what's worse is that the shop was practically empty when we were there (only one other table with 2 guests). Food-wise, the potstickers were a bit doughy and the duck (in my ramen) were chewy and I had to spit it out at the end. Portion is smaller than most ramen out there and price is a bit higher (wouldn't be an issue at all on its own, but in combo with other things I mentioned, it's not great.) Anyways, glad we tried this for ourselves but not sure if we'd come back... side note, personal pet peeve (as a good tipper), why do business owner feels the need to stand/hover over our table and watch us like a hawk when we pay + select the tip on the card reader machine? Kind of distasteful...

The food also comes out pretty quickly, which is always a plus. There were a couple of frustrations with this visit, though. They had flyers on the tables advertising their new Dino Ramen, and the flyer stated that you could get free ice cream with any Dino Ramen OR any other bowl of ramen. When we went to get the free ice cream, we were told the offer was only valid with the Dino Ramen and that the "any bowl of ramen" offer was only available at their other location. That was pretty confusing considering the flyer was sitting right on our table at this location. If the promotion is different depending on the location, they really need to make that clear on the flyer or not have those flyers out. Service was okay. The food came out quickly, but there wasn't much checking in afterward. We had to go out of our way to ask for things like refills or anything else we needed. Despite those issues, I really enjoy the ramen here, especially the Spicy Tonkotsu and hand pulled noodles, so I'll keep coming back. I just hope they improve the communication around their promotions and become a little more attentive with service.

We decided to sit inside since no one was at the tables and they were a few people outside, not buy at all and it was around 8:30pm We sat down the waitress, Asian lady was not rude but not friendly. No greeting, asked if we wanted water. She got the water, placed it down a little hard and that was that. We looked at each other and said oh lord,here we go.

However, interesting experience. We ordered the following: Chicken Karaage - 5/5: This was good and the sauce that came along with it was good. I needed more for the amount of chicken that was given. Miss soup 5/5: it was good and not salty, just enough flavor. Salad 3/5: the salad was good, I should have ordered the salad dressing on the side, it was bit much on the salad. Shrimp tempura maki roll 5/5: fresh and good. Nice size cuts not too big or small. Veggie Maki roll 5/5: fresh and good. I would return if ever back in Utah.
