For quality traditional dining, ICHIRAN is one of New York City’s favorite dining destinations when it comes to ramen. ICHIRAN provides solo dining booths for those who may not be gathering with family and friends, however, for those celebrating Easter in a group, these partitions can be removed for guests to enjoy the company of loved ones.

With locations in Times Square (152 W 49th St, New York, NY 10019; (646) 964-4294), Midtown (132 W 31st St., New York, NY 10001; (212) 465-0674), and Brooklyn (374 Johnson Ave, Brooklyn, NY 11206; (718) 381-0491), ICHIRAN will be open on Easter Sunday from 12 pm – 8:30 pm at their Times Square and Midtown locations, and from 12 pm – 9:00 pm at their Brooklyn location; with their menu available for both takeout and delivery.

ICHIRAN’s classic Tonkotsu broth is created with the purest filtered water and pork bones, which normally produce a stronger aroma, but using specific technology and extraction methods, this scent has been eliminated. The broth is rich in natural collagen and ICHIRAN is the first ramen company to use Trans Fat free natural oil. The family-owned business started as a simple ramen stall in 1960 and created the Five Original ICHIRAN principles which are: Original Spicy Red Sauce, aromatic Tonkotsu broth, solo dining booths, order forms and the Kae-Dama ordering system. ICHIRAN’s solo dining booths were designed so guests could focus only on the ramen that sits before them, savoring the fragrance of the broth and experience each slurp of ramen. The Hakata-style homemade thin noodles are prepared daily factoring in the humidity and temperature that day at ICHIRAN’s Brooklyn Factory.
