Friendly staff and great ramen.

Have to arrive early to book in a time slot. We arrived 12pm and booked a 1:30 lunch. Coming back, they were still very busy but allowed us to wait inside instead of outside. I really appreciate them waiting for seats at the bar to be free, since we gave up the table to the family of four behind us.

Soup was a clean dashi base and the topping really elevated the flavour.

They have cool T-Shirts too!

I’m going to be straight up with you, just ignore the negative reviewers - they are all people who can’t read or plan in advance as the reservation system is clearly laid out for this restaurant.

This restaurant offers an intimate dining experience which myself and my partner enjoyed thoroughly. The price is great, food is delicious and the staff are all wonderful and energetic.

They were kind to all customers, regardless if they were tourists or local residents. Would highly recommend!

Really great food and service. Need to arrive early (before opening time) to get a ticket. Ticket gives you a set time to return which is really nice - as opposed to having to queue up for a long time. We arrived at 5:15pm (15 minutes prior to evening opening) and got a ticket to return at 8:30pm.

Ramen is delicious, and flavorful broth despite being light. Chicken/vegetable dumplings were also great.

It's my 2nd visit here (27 Nov 2024). My first time was in June 2023. Ignore the negative reviews about their wait times. You just need to be mindful that this is Kyoto, Japan. Eateries have small seating capacity. This place takes about 12-14 pple max at any one time, thus the "long wait". If you are not prepared to wait and only get to come to Kyoto once in your lifetime, then you can give it a miss. However, if you do frequent Japan/Kyoto, do give this a try! It would be worth your effort!

This morning, we got into the queue at 10:40am, very promptly, a member of the staff came out to put our names on a reservation list and told us to be back by 1pm. Our queue number was 32. We got back by about 12:47pm, got into the store to wait by 12:50pm and were served at 1:10pm.

Every dish I tried was good!!! I had the dark dashi version last year and got the white soy sauce (dashi) this time round. The Yuzu strips provided gives their soup a nice/refreshing flavour. The young man (dark frame glasses) who managed the queue in June 2023 (he's very fluent in English and left an impression) made my ramen today. It's nice to see him again, dedicatedly preparing our food. All staff members/crew are dedicated, polite and energetic (good vibes). Considering that they have to manage such a diverse cliente, it's great that they are able to maintain their positive attitude!

This place is worth the visit and as long as you strategise, the wait is not an issue. The location has multiple shopping streets to keep you occupied. Can't wait to visit again on my next trip to Kyoto! :)

To the young crew at Inoichi, keep up the good work! 👍🏻 😊

Came back 2nd time and it is as good as I expected, still one of the best fish base ramen. Had the black soy dashi ramen. Got there around 4pm before they are open to get a spot and there is a queue.
