Ramen IKKYU ( Boca Raton)

Long waiting time and no one really seemed to care. Everything feels very slow and relaxed, maybe too relaxed. If you have plenty of time and don’t mind waiting, this place might be fine. The food is okay, but the service and wait time definitely take away from the experience. Slightly negative overall mainly because of the waiting.

I’m gonna put 4 star . I ordered spicy kimchi with chicken and it needs more flavor and more vegetables. My husband ordered rice noodle also something missing in taste. Your bun bun shrimp is fire. We loved it. I ordered mango yogurt drink but I got green tea instead. I think the girl needs to be more motivated even I left her good tips. Also we like decorating of place, very Japanese. Maybe their classical tonkatsu ramen is good.

I just received my uber order from this restaurant which is 12min away from my house, I can’t believe every single dish I ordered was uneatable. The egg rolls dough were mushy and inside were raw and even frozen in the middle. The Yaki udon with beef dish, was tasteless as for the flavor, the udons were soggy instead of firm and scallions not fresh. And last but not least, the Tonkotsu Ramen was the worse, for a Ramen restaurant. The broth came straight from a concentrate packet, full of MSG and extra salty, the ramen itself was hard and uncooked. Sorry but for me 3/3 dishes is enough not to comeback again nor recommend it. More attention to the kitchen staff is highly advised.

Every time I visit IKKYU, I am reminded why it is my go-to spot in Boca Raton. The consistency here is truly impressive; the food is always incredibly tasteful and prepared with care. Whether you're going for ramen, rice bowls (beef teriyaki is my favorite) or their traditional dishes, the flavors are authentic and fresh. What I appreciate most is the atmosphere. The ambiance is quiet and peaceful, which is a refreshing change of pace. It has a specific charm that reminds me of a casual Japanese restaurant in Kyoto—unpretentious, welcoming, and centered entirely on the quality of the meal. If you are looking for a genuine Japanese dining experience without the loud, frantic energy of a typical fusion spot, IKKYU is a hidden gem.

I must say The atmosphere is amazing Customer Service was amazing from this young lady. The chicken was 10 out of 10 the rice was loaded with chicken and bean sprouts which I love the spring rolls were very small and I prefer to have more of a crunch with my vegetables, but they were decent, but everything else was amazing, I recommend you to try this place if you have not tried them already
