Most Unique Ramen place in New York - Ichiran Ramen
food is bliss
““True Love is hard to find, even Good Ramen.””
My friend Akash ( @akashxn) who is a well known photographer based in New York City and I decided to stroll around NYC. After hours of walking around we were crazy hungry. I was in mood for some Ramen. What can be better for Ramen than NewYork’s Korean Town????? Koreatown, or K-Town, is an ethnic Korean enclave in Midtown Manhattan, New York City, centered on West 32nd Street between Madison Avenue and the intersection with Sixth Avenue and Broadway, which is known as Greeley Square.
We visited a ramen place and got to know that they are running out of Vegeterian Broth. Ahh Sad. We were heartbroken. Akash looked up to other great places closeby and accidently we found the most unique Ramen place of all time - Ichiran Ramen. It was a happy accident to stubmle upon this place.
Let me share some unique things about this place with you.
1.ICHIRAN'S 15 SECOND STANDARD
Their fresh noodles are time sensitive. Once in the boiling water, they expand. Therefore, they strive to deliver your ramen from kitchen to your table within a fifteen-second window so you can enjoy exactly the texture you ordered. They have a rule about how long it takes for the noodles to reach a guest’s table. Anything over that limit is unacceptable, which is why all seats are within arm’s length. The time? 15 seconds.
2.Ramen focus booth
Be a little more intimate with your ramen with ICHIRAN's own Ramen Focus Booths - designed to allow you to focus on the flavors of your bowl with minimal distractions. This ICHIRAN Original was created in response to the many distractions and loud surroundings of a typical ramen restaurant. Conversations with other customers, hurried movements of the chefs, and many other sounds and images prevent you from focusing on your meal, distracting you from the wonderful experience in front of you. ICHIRAN's Ramen Focus Booths solves this by blocking out the distractions, allowing you to focus all of your attention into fully enjoying the flavors of our ramen.
Omg! Isn’t this the best thing in middle of NYC?
3.ORIGINAL SPICY RED SAUCE
The Original Spicy Red Sauce is one of five ICHIRAN Originals. With this original sauce, ICHIRAN was the first to introduce the now popular concept of serving ramen with a thick, red sauce. The secret togarashi pepper blend of our Original Spicy Red Sauce is made from combining over 30 different spices and then slowly aging it to perfection.
