Boston Solo Dining Vol.2 🍜 | Ganko Ittetsu Ramen Review

When eating alone, you can fully focus on the ramen bliss—no sharing needed! Today’s pick: Ganko Ittetsu Ramen, Boston’s ramen OG with legendary spicy broth and next-level fried chicken. Here’s the full breakdown: 🔥 MUST-ORDER 🍜 Karai Shoyu Ramen • Broth: Rich, porky, spicy 🌶️ (heat infused, not just floating oil!) • Toppings: Thin chashu (lean but flavorful), perfect 63° egg 🥚, bamboo shoots for crunch. • Noodles: Sapporo-style thick curls—chewy and soup-clinging today (lucky—quality varies!). 🍗 Kara-Age (Extra Crispy!) + Thai Curry Sauce • CRUNCH so loud it echoes 💥 • Juicy thigh meat → first bite = juice explosion 💦 • Thai Curry sauce: Creamy + hint of lime = perfect against grease 💡 INSIDER TIPS • Waitlist: Join via Google Maps (tiny shop = long lines!) • Fried chicken myth: Available daily now (not just Wed-Sun!) • Restroom hack: Giant noodle strainer keychain 🥄 (ask front desk) • Backstory: Their old chicken shop (Gantetsu-Ya) merged here post-pandemic—two legends in one! 🎯 FINAL SCORE • Ramen: 8.5/10 (consistent, but broth salt levels vary) • Kara-Age: 11/10 (best in Boston?) • Solo happiness: 9/10 (no regrets, just spicy noodle sweats 😅) 🏠 Ganko Ittetsu Ramen 📍 318 Harvard St #3, Brookline, MA #BostonRamen #GankoIttetsu #SoloEats #SpicyNoodles #JapaneseFriedChicken #BostonFoodie #HiddenGems #BrooklineEats #NoSharingNeeded
