Ichimi (Coral Gables)

I love Ichimi, I consider it a Gables Stable and it has been one of my favorite Asian restaurants in Miami for over 7+ years. But when I went this weekend, and order the classic Ichimi Ramen, I found that signature Ramen flavor that I had grown the love wasn't there. There was a thick layer of oil on top, to the point where I had to scoop it out. They also are charging the same price for less duck wings. They used to serve 6 wings and now its only 4. The Pork belly was still good, but I was sad to see the quality drop in the soup. Despite my opinion the restaurant was full and had a wait list. I hope that the chefs can focus on making quality soup and the owners do what they can to scal appropriately. The 3 servers on the floor were doing everything they could to keep a good flow in the re

The food here was really good the ramen was excellent. However, I’m giving three stars because of the atmosphere. It was quite dirty inside. We were sitting at a window table and the windows were dirty, and the decorative bottles near us were covered in dust. The women’s restroom also wasn’t clean. I do want to mention one nice touch the bottled water on the tables, which I really appreciated. So overall: the food is delicious and yes, I would recommend it. But my sincere suggestion to the owner is to pay more attention to cleanliness even the light fixtures were dusty.

The place is very nice and spacious, with an atmosphere you enjoy as soon as you walk in. The service is not the best, but even though it is not excellent, it is good. The pork belly baos are honestly the best I have ever had. When they arrive at the table they look simple and you might think they do not have much filling, but when you take a bite you find an incredible mix of flavors. The Ichimi Ramen is delicious. We always order it with wonton and extra meat, and it is truly the best ramen we have ever eaten.

I normally don’t like to leave a low star review when the staff were nice and friendly. But the ramen was so bad! It’s very creamy and feel like New England chowder not ramen! And way too much scallions. Some reviews said it’s authentic. Well I was visiting Japan for a few weeks and had ramen almost every day and none of them would be like this! It made us sick afterwards because the cooking oil they used was very cheap. Overall. Sad because it’s a cute place and staff are nice, but this is the worse ramen and Japanese food I have ever had.

Ichimi is easily one of the best ramen spots in Coral Gables! The food here is incredible—authentic Japanese flavors that taste fresh and perfectly balanced. I believe the owner or main chef is Japanese, which explains the quality and authenticity in every dish. The ambiance is cozy and welcoming, making it a great place to enjoy comfort food. They even serve Japanese beers, which pair perfectly with the ramen. We ordered the Ichimi Ramen with pork and their housemade noodles, and it was absolutely divine. The broth wasn’t overpowering or too salty—just the perfect, delicate flavor that makes you want to savor every bite. The pork belly bao is a must-try—soft, flavorful, and absolutely delicious. People clearly come back for this dish! We also had the chicken katsu with curry on the side
