“ I heard good reviews from this place, and what caught my attention is that the noodles are made in the house. The ramen was so delicious I really enjoyed it. When I came in, it wasn't full, and service was quick. One thing I didn't like was the tissue box instead of napkins. ”

“ Totally spectacular ramen in central 9th from the chef behind Hana Ramen in Park City! We got to talk with him briefly and he is super cool...and REALLY knows how to cook ramen. The menu is limited because every single option is high quality. Handmade noodles and perfectly balanced broth. Don't forget to add an egg; these are PERFECT with a deliciously gooey inside. Also highly recommend trying one of the mini donburi bowls as you wait for your ramen. They also have a special menu focusing on ramen from specific areas of Japan on Monday nights if you are feeling adventurous! A few things to be aware of: - there is limited seating, so quite a line can form outside at peak times (including in the cold); it does move faster than you would think because most parties eat their ramen then go! -the waitstaff is generally very young; while kind, the service has sometimes been a bit awkward and/or they have forgotten to bring us items we have ordered; not a big deal generally (but probably better for a casual time with friends than someone you are trying to impress) -not a place for drinks, dessert, etc. Ambiance is okay but nothing to write home about. The focus here is definitely the food/ramen! ”

“ Food quality: 5/5 Service: 5/5 Cleanliness: 5/5 Value: 5/5 Literally perfection in a bowl. I don't know how Mike does it, but I couldn't be happier with this amazing bowl of Chicken and Duck Paitan from Ramen Ichizu . The soup was so incredibly creamy with so much depth and every bite was so rich and full of flavor. I don't remember the last time I was sad about not having any more broth to drink. The chicken and duck slices were so soft and tender, same kind of consistency as sous vide poultry. The marinated egg was well seasoned and had a perfect, jammy yolk. The wontons were ok, I would skip it next time only because I got more wonton skin than meat, and it really wasn't necessary to add. Oh, and we got the Shoyu Cucumbers too. Salty, spicy, vinegary, well-rounded. Great appetizer/ side dish too! Don't skip on this menu item. ”

“ A no frills restaurant, they have a pitcher of water and glasses for you to fill up your own cup and have a sign stating they do not do any modifications or have take out boxes. I highly recommend getting there early! Thankfully I got there 15 min before open, and by the time it was 5pm (their second open time), every table and seat was taken. I'm very thankful my friend and I were the first people in line and served because by the time we were done with our ramen, the people next to us (second in line) and everyone else were still not served and that was almost 30 minutes. So if you're in a time crunch, expect some long wait times for your food. We got the shoyu ramen and the shio ramen. The shoyu ramen broth had more flavor and a nice kick of garlic. The shio ramen was a bit bland, and shio is all my all time flavor. Lastly, the noodles were chewy and delicious. Overall, the portions of ramen were a bit small for the price point. We paid over $45 for two bowls of ramen and were still hungry. It's a nice place to try, but I wouldn't go out of my way to come back. As I stated earlier, get there early or you'll be waiting a while. There was already 10+ in line before the restaurant opened. ”

“ Went to Ramen Ichizu to try out the new spot in town. Great little atmosphere tucked inside the apartment building. We tried both of the styles of ramen they had. The Shoyu packed a lot of flavor and was really great. The Shio could have used a little chili oil in our opinion but was a nice crisp flavor. The noodles you could tell were freshly done and the team was making them while we were there. The karage was also very nice, fresh meat for sure as well. They definitely prioritize local high quality ingredients. Definitely worth a visit if you're looking for a good ramen spot here in Salt Lake! ”

“ Loved loved loved this ramen place. It's no frills and had a great authentic flavor AND noodle. Those thin and chewy noodles will be on my mind for the next month or so. They're in a soft open right now but they're trying to make a cocktail bar upstairs which is why they're only soft opening. 100% would recommend. The staff is busting their ass and I appreciate their service It's a small seating area for now so it may be tough for big groups. Groups of 2-4 seem ideal ”
