What to Order
Signature Tonkotsu Ramen
This is their flagship pork bone broth ramen, known for its rich, creamy, and deeply flavorful broth, often customized with noodle texture and saltiness preferences.
"The tonkotsu broth was rich and flavourful, clearly simmered for a long time, and the ramen noodles were perfectly chewy."
Ms BUNNY V
Black Tonkotsu Ramen
A variation of the signature tonkotsu, this ramen is enhanced with garlic and sesame oil, adding an extra layer of richness and aromatic depth to the broth.
"Garlic and sesame oil gave it a boost of richness and it smelled amazing; rich, creamy, and flavourful. If you’re craving something with more depth, go for this one."
Cinth H
Fried Chicken
Crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside, this fried chicken is a popular side dish that complements the ramen well.
"The fried chicken was nice and juicy, but gyozas were just ok."
Simon W
Gyoza
These bite-sized dumplings are praised for their crispy exterior and juicy filling, making them a satisfying accompaniment to your meal.
"The bite-size gyoza were crispy outside and juicy inside, pairing perfectly with the ramen."
Ms BUNNY V
Takoyaki
These savory octopus balls feature a crispy exterior and a soft, molten hot interior, offering a delightful textural contrast.
"Once you bite in to the crispy exterior of the takoyaki, be careful. The soft yummy centre melts in your mouth, might also be molten hot."

Inside Scoop
- There are two Ikkousha locations very close to each other; one specializes in pork broth (Tonkotsu) and the other in chicken broth (Tori Paitan), so check the signs carefully.
- You can customize your ramen by choosing noodle texture (e.g., hard, regular), broth saltiness (light, regular), and adding premium toppings like flavored egg or extra pork cha-shu.
- They offer a unique birthday promotion: if you order four bowls of ramen on your birthday, you receive free dumplings equal to your age.
- The restaurant provides plastic baskets under bar seating for your belongings, a thoughtful touch for convenience.
- Expect a lively and bustling atmosphere, which some reviewers describe as "dinner theater" or "buzzing."
