Ichiban Ramen & Poki

The food was amazing, the broth was flavorful, portion is large for 18.25(Shi O Ramen). It's was delicious, the person serving us was so sweet, they give you free water while you wait for your order. I highly recommend coming here. For the atmosphere , they have paintings of anime, Dragon ball Z, Demon slayer, Naruto, Sailor moon, and more. It adds a good touch to it. They don't play music, which is preferred for me as I come with friends, and we enjoy chatting. Very good place, you should go when you get the chance

Ordered pho and two different ramens- pork curry and shrimp tempura (forgot the photo). All three bowls were insanely flavorful. The pho did not/ does not come with any herbs or lime. It only came with lemon and bean sprouts. The curry was so thick it was almost a sauce and, imo, would have been better as a sauce with meat over rice. Regardless, it was very good. The shrimp ramen was very shrimp-flavored- in the best way! Really, my only dislike is how tiny the space is. There are only 24 seats at tables (5 2-tops, 2 4-tops, 1 6-top) and then bar seating... Maybe 8 more people? It's a very tight space. If people are paying at the register, there's no way to get to the restroom or back half of the restaurant. They definitely need a bigger space, but the staff is friendly and the food was amazing! Definitely recommend. 🙂

Ichiban is hands down my go-to spot for ramen in Fresno! The food is absolutely amazing, with a variety of broths to choose from—whether you’re in the mood for something thick and rich or lighter. The portion sizes are generous, and the flavor is consistently top-notch every time I visit. The restaurant itself is cozy, despite being on the smaller side, and the walls are lined with classic anime artwork, giving the place a fun and welcoming vibe. One thing I really appreciate is the staff’s attention to detail. On one occasion, we arrived just 40 minutes before closing, and even though it was late, they graciously seated us. When it started getting stuffy inside, they even asked if we wanted the door open, showing that they really care about making sure guests are comfortable. The service is fantastic, and the staff is always friendly and accommodating. This is definitely one of my favorite spots in Fresno—if you love ramen, you won’t be disappointed!

First time coming here and the food was absolutely delicious, we got the spicy tonkotsu and Kim chi ramen bowl with gyoza and broccoli tempura and everything came out great. The food was hot and fresh and came out quickly. The blonde server lady was great too, very friendly and checked up on us. 10/10 will probably be coming here a lot more often.

The shrimp Ramen taste good! But my seat is near the restroom, by the bar area, is not good because of the smell.

SMMMMAAAAACCCCCKKKKKKSsSSSSs!! Listen, I thought I knew what good ramen was. I’ve been all over the Central Valley thinking I was living my best life. I was wrong. Ichiban didn't just serve me a bowl of noodles; they staged a flavor intervention. This place is the undisputed GOAT. If you’re still eating ramen anywhere else, I’m actually worried about you. Go here. Now. Your stomach will thank me later!

First time and definitely many more times to come! Friendly staff, cozy atmosphere, and delicious food! We got the spicy tonkatsu ramen and wonton ramen. Absolutely delicious, flavorful, bountiful, and spicy but not too spicy. The anime murals were super cool as well! We will be back!
