Nothing beats getting good ramen after 2 hours of karaoke. I was anticipating they'd refuse me service since I arrived at 8pm and they close at 9pm, but they were so swift with serving good food. I was even able to get a takeout of takoyaki!

Had a great time here! Came before donating blood. The server was very friendly, didn't wait before getting a table (it was just me). I just got the Orange Chicken over Rice. Didn't wait too long for my food. Tasted great! There was a nice zesty tang to the chicken that I really liked. Overall had a great time and def would come back with some friends.

The Pork Belly And Kimchi And Rice is absolutely beyond exquisite. Toe curling. Mouth watering. Fabulous. Sweet, savory, slightly spicy, and filling all at once. The juicy, tender, flavorful pork belly practically melts in your mouth. It compliments and balances well with the warm white rice and refreshing kimchi. Idk what the sauce is but it tastes like heaven. The dish is so good that you feel like you have to eat slowly to really appreciate it and force yourself to not eat it all in 3 seconds from how good it is. But even that is not a problem, because they give such an adequate amount of food. I get about 2-3 servings out of it and get to save the leftovers for lunch and it still slaps just as hard the next day. Impeccable. 10/10 ⭐️ oh also the service is really good they’re very nice also I gave 5 stars but it says I only gave 4

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.

Quite restaurant on the smaller side food was fantastic can not wait to be in the area to try another dish from there. The theme in the restaurant was awesome as well all fairly popular animes.

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!

Very tasty food and attentive service. Basic decor, but you did not come for that. We come for the ramen. No idea about the pho, but I’d be shocked if it is not equally good. The smoothies were also very good. A great place to satisfy your ramen cravings.

Randomly found this place search through google and I glad I made the drive to it. I ate alone so I was able to eat immediately but if you are with someone, you will have to wait a bit. The ramen was awesome, and the gyoza was delicious as well. They have amazing hand painted murals of trending anime’s on the walls as well as other painted murals in the back. Overall this restaurant was welcoming and although short staffed, the service was still awesome 😎. Can’t wait until I visit Fresno again so I can eat another bowl.

Very delicious Food! Got Gyoza and Tonkotsu Ramen! Price and quality are very good! Also very interesting Anime Art inside the restaurant. They only have a handful of tables so prepare for a little bit of a wait during busy times, or if you're alone you can also sit at the Bar.

Staff was incredibly kind to us, give Caidence a raise haha. Our food came to us in a matter of 5 minutes. That was fast. I ordered the guacamole and bacon burger. The food tastes pretty good, but the sauce they added was a little much.

<There has been an update after the story.> Drive through I bought a fried chicken burger and the chicken did not taste good. Slimy texture inside and chewy in a bad way. I called and someone answered right away. I asked if I can "exchange , get a return , or if they can't do much. Basically what can be done. He was silent!! Literally for more than 30 seconds just quiet . I can hear everything in the back but , he didn't hang up or say anything. I hanged up and tried calling a minute late but nobody was answering. Quick Update!! The manager called me today and apologized about her staff and she was very sweet. She didn't make me feel dumb about calling that day. She did say additional training will be given. She is proud of her store and changed my perspective on their customer service.

The burger combo I had isn't shown on the menu pictures. I had the lettuce wrap burger with unsweetened tea and fries. Was pretty good. The cashier was nice and friendly...Loved her lion tattoo! Nice experience and it wasn't crowded being that there was construction all around.

The lady at the window was very nice and kind appreciate her service

Food was good however it took about 10-15 mins for our server to actually come and take our order for drinks and food

Ichiban Ramen & Poki in Fresno is a spot I've come to really enjoy. It's popular for a reason: great food and friendly service every time. The place is usually packed, but I got lucky during my last visit and was seated immediately. This time, I brought a friend along who's been on the hunt for a good ramen spot in town. As a die-hard anime fan, I've always been a fan of their anime-themed decor—it adds a fun and unique vibe to the dining experience. I went for the spicy miso chicken ramen and a Thai iced tea, while my friend decided on the tofu curry ramen. Our food arrived at a perfect pace, allowing us to dive in without too much wait. The ramen was exceptional – fresh, flavorful, and served piping hot. We had to let it cool a bit before we could fully indulge. My friend, especially, was impressed; she mentioned it was some of the best ramen she's had in Fresno. What makes Ichiban Ramen & Poki stand out is not just the quality of the food but also the value. The portions are generous, leaving you satisfyingly full without feeling like you've overspent. It's places like this that make the local food scene so exciting to explore.

I enjoyed the experience and the theme of the restaurant, but there was much to be desired in the food department. The food service time was a little high, but that was to be expected with the hiring/employee shortage. Pricing was competitive and the serving sizes were plentiful. Check it out for yourself and see what you think 😊 I will try it a few more times and a few more items and update my review.

It amazes me how expensive fast food is now. It shows how greedy the owner is. You are part of the problem, not solution. The service was nice. But your prices are as ridiculous as your responses to reviews. Do you ever have a genunine response ,or do you only know how to copy and paste that same general response? Also, I find it sad that during lunch, I was the only person in your resturant. Makes a person wonder why? Hmmm?????

Decent looking place, quick drive through service every time I've visited. Love that they offer Double Beyond BBQ Burgers packed with 50 grams of protein. They taste fantastic but they charged me $16 for one. I buy them in SF area from anywhere between $9 and $12.

The drive through girl was ok but these places need to understand that since we're can't dine in to be a little more patient with customers who have difficulty ordering with several people in the car. Feeling rush & assured our order was correct then things are missing or wrong sucks. Just take your time & be kind. We're all adjusting to the madness.

My order was completely wrong. I ordered Large combos both were medium upon paying. I ordered double famous stars with cheese as part of the combos, while driving I discovered they were singles... I am an out of town person who got nothing correct on my order. Very frustrating and no I didn't turn around, as I was already on the freeway. Drive through service, very subpar

It was around 10 am so I was the only one there. There wasn’t Dr Pepper or Coke cause they were out also I tried ordering a milkshake and they didn’t have milk so that was kind of a bummer.

The only reason I went to Carl’s Jr. is because a friend wanted to go there as she likes their breakfast biscuit. I was shocked that a small coffee was three dollars, when you can get one at McDonald’s for a dollar or less as a senior citizen. The place was practically dark when I walked in. This was at 8 AM. Only one girl working behind the counter-that I could see.

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

Noodles were adequate.. appetizers average.. A tad pricey.. There was a full house and my party of 4 waited over an hour for our foods...

This is, in my opinion, the most expensive fast food around... Last time I went here I only ordered a large soda and they were trying to charge me $4.99... for a fast food soda...

Tonight was the 2nd time in a week that my husband and I have gone to the drive through around 9pm and no one ever asks us to order. We don’t see anyone when we pull around either. Weird. First time I felt bad bc what if they needed help or was locked in the walk-in but 2 days later guess they are busy doing something else. I don’t know how they stay in business like this.

You’d think getting paid $20/hour they would be a little quicker. I’ve been in the drive through by myself for 10 minutes. No other cars. If I’m paying $41 for 2 burgers at least make it fresh and dash. Ridiculous

Their evening shift around 6:40-7pm was disgustingly rude and disrespectful. We just came by to grab a quick dinner and were super friendly/nice while ordering. I am always respectful especially to fast food workers because I know work can be hard on you when you are constantly getting yelled at for things. But we were as friendly as can be while ordering and paying. We originally were wanting to order the chicken stars or tenders but they were out at that time. It happens I get it. My bf then tried to order a Oreo shake, they of course were out of milk. We figured it was just our Luck and came at a bad time. But While we sat and waited for our food we happened to overhear a male mocking us to the cashier about “can we get our chicken nuggets”. This was super unprofessional and rude. We never said anything rude about them being out of multiple menu items and continue to order 2 combos and went about our day. To spend $30 to get demeaned in the process for no reason was really uncalled for. I’d advise staff to keep their comments about customers at least away from the drive through window/dining area. Really dumb in there part. I would really appreciate someone from customer service to reach out to discuss a plan of action for customer service retraining and/or a refund.

Do not go here if you you need any accomodations because you have a disability. Ichiban Ramen and Poki is not accessibility friendly and will not accommodate those with special needs. I had to leave after attempting to "negotiate" my needs and disability. Wait staff refused to even attempt to be understanding and I just left. I cant believe that there are business establishments that refuse to accommodate those who are differently abled. I later called to speak with a manager and they were not there. I left a message to return call and they have refused to return call.

Tofu Temple

Small little place. Packed when we got there so call ahead. The food was very flavorful and about $20-25 per person. The egg in my soup was questionable as it doesnt even look like the ones people are posting. However, the thing that turned me off a bit was that there was bug/fly deep inside the ice of the complimentary water being served. Out of our three person party, two of us had to ask for new cups because of that issue.
