Ramen IKKYU ( Boca Raton) — Restaurant in Florida

I have been to Japan 3 times. I'm not an expert on ramen, but not every place in the States makes ramen as good as it is in Japan. With that said, Ikkyu has some of the best ramen I have eaten on this side of the Pacific. My wife and I have been here a few times as it is relatively close to home. My most recent experience was having their Japanese Curry Ramen. It was so delicious with this slight creaminess. The egg was cooked perfectly and the yolk was creamy in the center. The chashu pork is cooked perfectly. So much flavor and the fat melts in your mouth. My wife has had their ramen as well, however this time she got the Teriyaki Beef Rice Bowl, which she also enjoyed. We have also had their dumplings and kaarage fried chicken. Both are delicious. We really enjoy their Taro Fashion Bubble Tea. It is one of the best taro bubble teas we have had. The owner, Xia, and her husband are very friendly. We asked them for a recommendation for quality all-you-can-eat sushi and they recommended a place that is now our favorite sushi restaurant to go to as well. They definitely pay attention to detail when cooking their food, but the wait time is also...

I came here to try their tonkotsu ramen because I read a review someone left comparing it to ramen they had in Japan. I loveee tonkotsu broth but their tonkotsu is not tonkotsu it's just a normal pork broth. I was really disappointed by this, and the noodles were kinda eh but the pork belly saved the whole thing. Honestly the pork belly here is the absolute best for ramen, the rest of the bowl is a bit disappointing but the way they make the pork belly is just amazing. Also if you ask they have hot sesame oil which I really liked. My boyfriend got the fried rice which was pretty good, we had to add a bit more soy sauce to it but that's not a big deal. Overall the meal was good, I just hate how many ramen places are claiming to have tonkotsu broth but it isn't tonkotsu. Also there was a group of guys borderline yelling in there the whole time which was really annoying, but that's not the restaurant's fault. Also the woman working was very sweet...

With a culinary experience that encroaches closer to fine dining. Ikkyu is amazing!

Every time ive come here Ive held off from leaving a review because I havent taken any pictures of the food... by the time the food gets to the table and the wonderful aromas hit your nose, you dont want to waste a second taking a picture. you quite literally want to shovel your entire plate into your mouth, lol.

Incredibly well balanced flavors and portions, I have never seen a full plate left on a table.

Every bite leaves you wanting more of whatever is on your plate, I highly recommend any of the dishes here, the ramen, the fried rice, the crispy bao buns, literally everything on the menu is of the highest quality and I havent been disappointed yet.

The staff are wonderful, cheerful, and extremely attentive and helpful. Thank you Ikkyu, you are now my...
