What people say, in short
Recommendations span Ichiran's New York outlets, including theater-district suggestions rather than this Times Square pin alone. One diner favors the thin noodles, and another recommends it for lunch. Dissenters find it bland, overpriced or disappointing in portion size; another regards it as a safe rather than adventurous ramen choice. One nearby resident reports frequent lines without naming the outlet.
