Welcome to Ikkakuya Tokyo

“ This resto serve yourself manual at front, order first, pay, and enter resto with bill that you paid before, then sit well wait to serve the meal. Small resto but, unique, interesting. Food taste great also. Just try yourself. ”

“ Good inexpensive ramen with peanut-free dishes which were great as I have an allergy. However lacking in vegetarian options so couldn’t give five star. Staff helpful and service was fast. ”

“ I have been a loyal customer of this ramen place every time I visit Japan for almost 5 years now, and it never fails to satisfy my craving for a delicious bowl of ramen. Despite trying out other highly recommended and hyped ramen places, I still firmly believe that this place offers the most basic yet incredibly satisfying ramen experience. My personal favorite is their signature ramen with a soy-based broth. The flavors are simply exquisite, and the rich, savory broth combined with perfectly cooked noodles never disappoints. What sets this place apart from others is their generosity when it comes to the toppings. They are remarkably generous with the amount of seaweed they include, which adds an extra layer of texture and taste to the ramen. Additionally, they also provide variety of condiments, allowing you to customize your bowl of ramen according to your personal preferences. I recommend add the chilli oil. One thing that I truly appreciate about this ramen joint is the lack of tourists. Unlike the popular ramen places that often have long queues, this place allows for a more authentic and intimate dining experience. The ordering system is also straightforward and convenient, as they provide menus in English. ”

“ Very good ramen, very tasty and excellent service! Already my second time here! ”

“ If you’re looking for a ramen experience that is hearty, savory, and truly satisfying, Ikkakuya (Ichikakuya) in Shinjuku is the place to be. This spot delivers classic Yokohama Iekei-style ramen with incredible consistency. The star of the show is the broth. It’s a thick, creamy, and intensely flavored tonkotsu shoyu (pork bone and soy sauce) blend that's wonderfully rich—exactly as promised by their signs! The perfect balance of pork richness and savory soy sauce depth is pure comfort food. What truly sets Iekei style apart is the customization, and Ikkakuya nails it. Before you even sit down, you can choose your preferences for: 1. Broth Thickness (kotteri or assari) 2. Oil Level (from light to rich) 3. Noodle Texture (soft, regular, or firm) For first-timers, I recommend going for "regular" across the board. The toppings are spot-on: tender slices of chashu (pork belly), fresh spinach, and those essential large sheets of nori seaweed, perfect for dipping into the broth. It's fast, friendly, and absolutely delicious—the perfect fuel stop whether you’re exploring Shinjuku late at night or need a quick lunch. Don't forget to grab some free rice to soak up that incredible remaining soup! ”
