Ichimi (Midtown)

This is our third year as their customers, and one day early this year I noticed they had changed their menu, but it seems the quality that had been consistent for years has also changed. For just over ten dollars, you can only get six frozen dumplings from the supermarket. Some of the chicken nuggets and skewers are definitely from the vendor. It's hard to say whether they still make the ramen broth themselves. If you only found this restaurant because of the good reviews, I wouldn’t recommend giving it a try. For Asian diners, don’t waste your time and money.

The food was delicious — I was very impressed! It was my first time at this place, and I’ll definitely be coming back to try other dishes. Kudos to the kitchen staff for doing such a great job preparing an amazing meal. I had the fried rice with different kinds of meat, and the portion was very generous as well. Five stars from me!

Currently the best place in Midtown/Wynwood for a decent bowl of ramen. They've got a bunch of other things on the menu that are also great. Quiet but pleasant atmosphere, attentive staff. Definitely worth a visit for a casual bit of Japanese-leaning comfort food.

As a Japanese, please let me say this. You cannot get authentic ramen here… Please do not go here. The owner of this restaurant does not know how to make tonkotsu ramen. When I ordered tonkotsu ramen, I was asked what protein I wanted. I was surprised to see beef as one of the options, which immediately gave me a bad feeling. "Tonkots(豚骨) ramen is made by extracting broth from pork bones. Why would you add beef to that? Give me a break… Unfortunately, the moment I took the first bite of the ramen that was served, that bad feeling turned into certainty. There was absolutely no pork-bone flavor in the broth—just a soup that seemed to be superficially salted. The noodles (which I paid an extra $1.50 for) didn’t go well with the soup at all, and the bean sprouts were undercooked and had an unpleasant smell. It was honestly terrible… As a Japanese person, it was the worst ramen I've ever had... The gyoza were also not good at all. they weren’t cooked properly and came with a strange-tasting sauce.

Came here excited as reviews were amazing. Sadly was very disappointed. Gyoza was odd tasting and I couldn't bring myself to eat more. The chicken was very dry. We were very hungry so we were able to eat that, thankfully. Ramen was decent for American standards. I felt it lack depth and flavour. Basically food is edible. I prefer my costco frozen gyozas to this. It was not worth the trip to visit and I wished we dined elsewhere. Our waiter looked unhappy with 18% tip and it felt awkward (she didn't look like she want to chat and was super focused on watching the tip machine). I'm from Australia so to experience this and having disappointing food threw me off. Every other food places we tried in Miami was amazing so this was disappointing and I thought to leave an honest review. I do like how they give free water and the food portions are good. Noodles are good. Glad they added spring onions and egg to the ramen. That is all the positives. Glad people enjoy this though but sadly not me and I really wished I did.
