About Ikkairo Ramen

Underwood's Ikkairo Ramen bypasses standard pork-only pots to build deep, concentrated crustacean broths loaded with seafood umami. Regulars zero in on the signature black garlic ebi and lobster tonkotsu—ladled out thick with half a lobster or prawns, soft-boiled egg, and shredded leek. Bowls are built with purpose, matching rich shellfish bases with chew-heavy iekei noodles while traditional tonkotsu gets classic thin strands. Crispy karaage, pan-fried gyoza, and bento keep family tables humming as bowls arrive fast.

  • Crustacean-Driven Broths: Shellfish-forward broths simmer prawn and lobster bases paired with bouncy iekei noodles.
  • Casual Comfort for Groups: Quick service delivers bowls alongside pan-fried pork gyoza, chicken bentos, and crunchy karaage.

Why Diners Choose Ikkairo Ramen

Discover why diners seek out Ikkairo Ramen for concentrated seafood broths, family-friendly meals, and fast comfort.

  • Deep, Distinct Crustacean Broths

    The kitchen crafts specialized, intensely concentrated lobster and prawn bases that deliver deep, robust seafood umami unlike conventional pork broths.

    The broth is rich, bold, and bursting with deep umami prawn flavour, perfectly balanced with the smoky aroma from the black garlic oil.

  • Custom Noodle Pairing for Every Broth

    Each soup style is thoughtfully paired with specific noodle gauges, matching hearty iekei-style thick noodles to prawn broth and thin Hakata noodles to classic tonkotsu.

    The broth is creamy and rich, the noodles are the thin, Hakata type. The prawn ramen has thicker noodles similar to Yokohama iekei ramen style.

  • Speedy Comfort with Classic Sides

    Quick-turnaround meals feature satisfying accompaniments like crispy karaage chicken and freshly pan-fried gyoza alongside noodles.

    And some of the best karaage chicken I’ve had in ages. We’ve had the tonkatsu red, black and miso - all of them are great choices. The staff are really friendly, and food service is very quick.

Before you head over

Practical advice on menu choices, ordering, and payment

  • Gauge Your Shellfish Palate

    The lobster and shrimp broths deliver concentrated, deep seafood umami. If you prefer milder tastes or find intense crustacean notes gamey, consider classic tonkotsu instead.

  • Plan for Premium Bowls & Card Surcharge

    Signature specialty bowls such as the half-lobster tonkotsu represent an indulgent, higher-priced meal, and paying by card at the counter includes a 2.2% surcharge.

  • Mix and Match for Varied Tastes

    If dining with family members or children who want alternatives to ramen bowls, you can round out the table with chicken bento boxes, karaage curry rice, or pan-fried gyoza.
