Title: A Hidden Gem of Authentic Ramen in Minneapolis

My experience at Ichiddo Ramen was nothing short of remarkable. Despite visiting during a quieter hour at 4 PM, the staff provided a heartwarming welcome that instantly set a positive tone for our dining experience. Every staff member, from Jess in the kitchen to the attentive waitresses, greeted us with warm, sincere smiles - a testament to the excellent service culture they've nurtured.

I had heard some online chatter regarding undercooked noodles, so I approached my order with a touch of caution. But to my delight, the noodles were cooked to absolute perfection. It's important to realize that in the US, many of us are accustomed to overly soft, overcooked noodles. The slightly firm, al dente texture of Ichiddo's noodles, however, is a mark of authentic ramen and is far from being undercooked. It was a refreshing change, and one that truly enhanced my meal.

As for the rest of the experience, Ichiddo ticked all the boxes. The quality and taste of the food were top-notch, and the portions were generous, satisfying even for big eaters. The interior decor further enhanced the dining experience, exuding a tasteful blend of modern and traditional aesthetics.

For those who have previously left negative reviews, I implore you to revisit with an open mind. Understanding the intricacies of authentic ramen could lead to a more gratifying experience.

I wholeheartedly recommend Ichiddo Ramen to all my family members and coworkers seeking an authentic ramen experience. I will undoubtedly be a frequent patron, revisiting this delightful corner of Minneapolis regularly. My visit to Ichiddo Ramen was an experience that not only exceeded expectations but truly provided a taste of Japan in Minneapolis.
