THE NOMNOMGRAM!
- The Quality of the food here is preeeeetty impressive and awesome! It's very clean and the soup base is really good and not overly salty and overpowering like 'normal' Japanese style ramens. They have really fresh ingredients and its also very filling and delicioussss! The Ikkyu Soy is one of their signature dishes, I also tried the Tantan Men (ramen with soy soup base topped with spicy pork) and that was pretty good and not too spicy like it usually is at other places. They also serve side dishes like Gyoza (japanese dumplings) and a few signature Japanese rice dishes too!

- The Customer Service here is preeetty good. Ramen Ikkyu isn't a fancy restaurant (even though they should think of getting an actual shop because its just talent gone to wasteeee!), anyways so it's just a little shop stand inside the Sussex Center Food Court hence its very *bam bam bam* customers ordering in and out. The waitress who served me didn't have very good English but it's really good because you order on the iPad they have on the desk and then they receive it in their system and then you just pay them. It's a really good idea because you know what your ordering and you can alter your meal however you want. Avoids any misunderstanding with the waitress and customers.
- The Pricing of the ramen is decent and cheap'ish. For ramen, it's pretty good! An average bowl of ramen is around $12 and they have special ramen's like the tantan men which will be around $15 per bowl. The BEST thing about this place is that they offer FREE Kaedama (noodles) refill! so you can refill your noodles as you wish if you're not full yet!
- The Quantity of the dishes are decent and as I mentioned earlier, you do get free noodles refill and with the price, it's really good in terms of quality and quantity especially for the price you pay!
**Side Notes
Ramen Ikkyu is not exactly in the best
location but they have really really good
ramen. They're located in the corner of
the Sussex Centre food court which is a
lot better now and less dingey like it was
before. The great thing about this place
is that its pretty quick and don't let the
soup scare you off! It's really nice and
creamy...?
I reckon these guys will go really far in
terms of business wise. They have a really
nice layout and I can see them opening up
an actual store in the Cityyyy!
Sahhhh nomnomsss!
Hope youre have an AWESOME Monday! Don't forget to smileeee =)
