About Ici Ramen Tepan

The moment before the first spoonful captures the essence of dining at Ici Ramen Tepan. Soft steam rises teasingly from a bowl cradling rich, complex broth that blends subtly sweet and savory notes. The atmosphere holds a casual intimacy, where the balance between an open kitchen and quiet corners allows flavors to take center stage without distraction. While the restaurant’s modest size sometimes results in a wait during peak hours, the attentive timing of plate arrivals showcases a focus on preserving optimal texture and warmth, a detail appreciated amid the culinary experience.

Observations from various Ici Ramen Tepan reviews highlight the diversity found across the menu, a thoughtful curation that extends beyond ramen to include teppanyaki elements that invite exploration. Photos shared online reveal vibrant presentations, with fresh garnishes and carefully sliced meats that suggest a precise culinary hand. Even amid the visually inventive dishes, some might find the spice levels geared more conservatively than expected, yet this restraint complements the broth's nuanced depth. The blend of traditional Japanese influences and inventive twists marks the establishment as a place where authenticity meets subtle innovation.

A stroll past Zadelstraat doesn’t immediately betray the quiet confidence inside this Utrecht eatery. The restaurant strikes a careful balance between familiar warmth and a culinary niche, providing a grounding spot in a city full of gastronomic variety. Pricing corresponds fairly to portion sizes, though added extras or specialty drinks can tip the final bill upward. Reviews often mention the accommodating staff who navigate the occasional rush with professionalism. This combination of factors results in a dining episode that can satisfy both novices and those well-versed in ramen culture, capturing a moment worth savoring without fanfare or excess.

Fantastic little restaurant with a simple but adequate array of dishes. Choose your preferred broth and spice level, add meat or fish and enjoy! Will definitely come back

Bang for your buck. Consistently good noodles, nothing too fancy or complicated. Only thing missing is the option to add toppings and a soy egg. Also: extra spicy is extremely spicy.. careful. 8/10 Went there again— really lovely woman working there. The ‘extra spicy’ was indeed still very spicy but I just like my lips burning.. also their miso broth is delicious. The crispy chicken nice and crispy. My friend had the same order but NOT spicy and she still enjoyed the flavor of hers. I like the idea of their shaped egg but it’s a bit too hard for my liking. 9/10

Great price/value with quick and friendly service. Fried toppings for my ramen were served separately so they don’t get soaked. The home made lemon iced tea was also really good. Regarding authenticity: the menu showed marinated eggs, but I received a strangely shaped boiled egg. Not very authentic (even though other reviewers seem to claim it is) but good ramen nonetheless!

Delicious pork ramen, broth was just right. It might be a little wait for the food during peak hour, but it does not take too long to arrive.

This is the second time I visited ICI Ramen and I was very happy about my experience again. Often times when I eat ramen at other restaurants, it's hard for me to finish it because the broth is way too salty. But at ICI Ramen the broth was perfect! I enjoyed every bite until the bowl was empty. The portion size was just right too and the egg shape is super cute. I had the Tonkotsu broth with a little spice and some porkbelly. The porkbelly was nicely grilled and the skin was crunchy. The pork taste wasn't dominant, it was perfectly balanced. The last time I went there I had Ramen with Karaage. I loved that they put the karaage in a seperate bowl so it doesn't get soggy from the broth. We ate there around 4pm and it was empty, so our order arrived quickly. Can highly recommend the ramen here
