Ikkoryu is actually my first ramen experience and I kept coming back - one of my favorite ramen joints in the metro. I must admit that I tried other ramen shops and Ikkoryu is one of my top 5 recommendation to family and friends. I would normally drop by here on a weekly basis.
I never really dig ramen, but my sons wanted it so we went. I did try before other ramens, but didn't like the weird taste of the soup and to my surprise I did like this. We ordered too potato croquettes and the karrage and the chips. All in all everything is great
Working near the mall means you’ve tried most of the places there. Ikkoryu’s probably one I’d go to eat to get a treat for myself. Food’s pretty good and server’s are really attentive (especially during lunch break). I really like their gyoza - good side order to any of their ramen (personal preference would be black garlic and tantanmen). Service time is a little slow though.

Ikkoryu Fukuoka specializes in tonkotsu ramen from Ramagoya Ramen in Japan which has been around since the '70s. Ramen was the Japanese adaptation of mee noodles from China. Today, I was looking for something spicy so I ordered their Tantan Tonkotsu (P380) which is their spiciest offering according to my server. She suggested I have tamago with it, so I obliged. Tantan is the Japanese version of the spicy Sichuan Dan dan noodles. The Japanese version normally incorporates Japanese rayu chili oil, soy milk and sesame paste in the mix. This particular rendition of Ikkoryu had a "ball" of ground beef immersed in the chili mixture.
In terms of flavor, Ikkoryu is subtle and not robust. In fact, I had to do a double take on my sips to verify if it was really spicy...well, it was not. You know the heat is there but just at the periphery. It's not the type that will make you cry "uncle" or ask for a glass of ice water or milk.
It was a good bowl, nonetheless. My server was right, having the extra tamago lifts it up some more as the velvety texture of the eggs adds greater balance.
Ajitama Tonkatsu and Gyoza to satisfy my Japanese food cravings! I usually have my noodles "soft". For this visit, I find it funny that the three of us ordered the same type of ramen. Oh well, we loved it so I guess that's all that really mattered.
When I went here, I ordered ramen and karaage. To be fair, this place is quite too pricey for its quality, but it's still tasty nonetheless. There are still better ramen places though. :)
I like their ramen flavorful but there's something to improve in their soup maybe i want mine thicker a little bit ..but kudos to staff verry friendly and approachable
My cousin who lives in the Ortigas area frequents Shangri-la mall, and she took us here multiple times because she knows I love Japanese food, and ramen is no exception.
Just recently, I introduced this restaurant to my boyfriend and he ordered the yuzu tama ramen, while I tried the aburi chashuu ramen. We also had an order of gyoza.
The broth for my aburi chashuu was a bit bland, however it made the aburi chashuu stand out. I also love how they served my noodles the way I want it: hard. Firm, starchy, and chewy. The gyoza complimented our ramen very well.
Yuzu tama had that light spicy kick, perfect on a rainy evening. We hope to try more ramen variants soon.
Plus, they offer complimentary Japanese tea served cold or hot.
Ikkoryu's gyoza will always be one of the best for me. Shangri-la branch, in particular, doesn't skimp on the meat. I tried gyoza in other ramen places where each piece is just small. 😢
On to their ramen, I tried the Aburi Chashu during my last visit. It was good but that piece of meat was just thin so it felt bitin. I'd still put my all-time favorite Black Garlic Tonkotsu as their best one for me.
I've been suffering from a bad case of Tokyo-withdrawal syndrome!
After eating my way through the Japanese capital, I had to have my ramen fix. So I ended up this ramen place. We had Ajitama Tonkotso and Yuzu Tama Tonkotso. Both had flavorful broth, nice slice of pork, eggs and very good "hard" noodles. Fortunately, this time their broth piping HOT! Just the way I like it.
The gyoza was also good and perfectly pairs up with the ramen.
The service was very good and fast. They had free iced tea (the brewed ones without sugar) which I liked very much. We just had to call their attention for refill on the drinks.
