That meant no waiting at all, and we could enjoy our meal at a relaxed pace. ## Seating inside Ichiba Ramen and the hidden details kids hunt for ![Interior seating at Ichiba Ramen](https://img.superchart.com/images/sokcho-ichiba-ramen-family-lunch/sokcho-ichiba-ramen-family-lunch-08-2b7zi-966.webp) ![Spacious dining hall with plenty of tables at Ichiba Ramen](https://img.superchart.com/images/sokcho-ichiba-ramen-family-lunch/sokcho-ichiba-ramen-family-lunch-09-1ag7k-966.webp) The interior is fairly spacious and clean, more like a newly opened, stylish restaurant than an old-school spot. There are plenty of tables, so turnover should be good even with a wait — worth a visit if you're in Sokcho :) Ichiba Ramen has cute little details hidden all over the store, so it's fun just to spot them! You can tell the owner put a lot of thought into the interior, and it made waiting for the food not boring at all — my kid had a blast treasure-hunting for them. ![Cute hidden interior details throughout Ichiba Ramen](https://img.superchart.com/images/sokcho-ichiba-ramen-family-lunch/sokcho-ichiba-ramen-family-lunch-10-1rh8t-966.webp) On top of that, the restroom is super clean, so it's a great spot to eat before or after playing at Sokcho Beach or Deungdae Beach! When you're eating out with a kid, or traveling in general, how clean the restroom is really matters — and this one is fully great! ![Clean, well-kept restroom at Ichiba Ramen](https://img.superchart.com/images/sokcho-ichiba-ramen-family-lunch/sokcho-ichiba-ramen-family-lunch-11-d58zk-966.webp) ![Interior of the restroom at Ichiba Ramen](https://img.superchart.com/images/sokcho-ichiba-ramen-family-lunch/sokcho-ichiba-ramen-family-lunch-12-1jpoo-966.webp) You order through a kiosk, and besides the usual ramen, there's a red snow crab roe cream ramen, which made it even better to bring a kid along. ![Kiosk menu screen at Ichiba Ramen](https://img.superchart.com/images/sokcho-ichiba-ramen-family-lunch/sokcho-ichiba-ramen-family-lunch-13-7guqn-966.webp) If you download the coupon on Naver Place and write a Naver photo review, you get a free seasoned egg, jumbo chashu (braised pork), or rice — definitely worth doing! ## Karaage, miso ramen and red snow crab roe cream ramen: honest review ![A plate of karaage at Ichiba Ramen](https://img.superchart.com/images/sokcho-ichiba-ramen-family-lunch/sokcho-ichiba-ramen-family-lunch-14-1r4p2-966.webp) You have to order karaage (Japanese fried chicken) at a ramen restaurant, right?! It was so crispy and good that we ended up adding a draft beer right after tasting it, haha. Dip it in mustard and the fried chicken flavor doubles — it was so good it made us happy. ![Karaage served with mustard](https://img.superchart.com/images/sokcho-ichiba-ramen-family-lunch/sokcho-ichiba-ramen-family-lunch-15-18vx4-966.webp) ![Draft beer ordered alongside the karaage](https://img.superchart.com/images/sokcho-ichiba-ramen-family-lunch/sokcho-ichiba-ramen-family-lunch-16-16kvi-m-966.webp) I ordered the miso ramen, and doesn't it look like a traditional Japanese-style ramen just from the rich broth alone?! ![Rich-broth miso ramen at Ichiba Ramen](https://img.superchart.com/images/sokcho-ichiba-ramen-family-lunch/sokcho-ichiba-ramen-family-lunch-17-15ons-966.webp) ![Close-up of miso ramen noodles and toppings](https://img.superchart.com/images/sokcho-ichiba-ramen-family-lunch/sokcho-ichiba-ramen-family-lunch-18-y6yxl-966.webp) Is it just me, or does the ramen's true flavor come through even more with a draft beer alongside it?! ![Miso ramen served with a draft beer](https://img.superchart.com/images/sokcho-ichiba-ramen-family-lunch/sokcho-ichiba-ramen-family-lunch-19-1idgq-966.webp) My kid ordered the red snow crab roe cream ramen, and there was plenty of sauce, so it stayed moist and smooth until the very last bite!! 😊 ![A bowl of red snow crab roe cream ramen](https://img.superchart.com/images/sokcho-ichiba-ramen-family-lunch/sokcho-ichiba-ramen-family-lunch-20-ao6nl-966.webp) ![Red snow crab roe cream ramen loaded with creamy sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/sokcho-ichiba-ramen-family-lunch/sokcho-ichiba-ramen-family-lunch-21-12hp7-966.webp) The special tonkotsu ramen comes in a really large portion, so if you're a big eater, definitely order the special size. ![The large-sized special tonkotsu ramen](https://img.superchart.com/images/sokcho-ichiba-ramen-family-lunch/sokcho-ichiba-ramen-family-lunch-22-1uew5-966.webp) It came with meat and bean sprouts, and the deep broth was excellent — my kid loved this tonkotsu ramen too! ![Tonkotsu ramen topped with meat and bean sprouts](https://img.superchart.com/images/sokcho-ichiba-ramen-family-lunch/sokcho-ichiba-ramen-family-lunch-23-1b8v0-966.webp) And the seasoned egg in ramen is always especially delicious, right?! The seasoned egg at Ichiba Ramen was genuinely great too. (We liked it so much we ordered extra.) ![Soft-boiled seasoned egg on top of the ramen](https://img.superchart.com/images/sokcho-ichiba-ramen-family-lunch/sokcho-ichiba-ramen-family-lunch-24-xgimw-966.webp) It runs on a self-return system where you bring your dishes back after eating, and even the instructions sign has a fun detail hidden in it — my kid really loved that. Ichiba Ramen, a ramen restaurant in Sokcho you can enjoy specially after visiting Sokcho Beach or Deungdae Beach, sticks to genuine Japanese-style ramen flavors that both kids and adults are bound to love, and it's open from breakfast through dinner — definitely worth a visit if you're in Sokcho. ## Where it is - Ichiba Ramen (이찌바라멘) - 348 Jungang-ro, Sokcho-si, Gangwon-do, South Korea - 강원특별자치도 속초시 중앙로 348 이찌바라멘 - 38.219477, 128.5916841 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EC%9D%B4%EC%B0%8C%EB%B0%94%EB%9D%BC%EB%A9%98/@38.219477,128.5916841,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@meals-plain-words/sokcho-ichiba-ramen-family-lunch/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
