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.

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
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
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.
Tell us what you ordered and what it cost. Two or three sentences about one dish is more useful to the next person than a star rating.
Nearest first, then across the Rio Grande Valley.
