This award strengthens IchiRyu’s status as the home of the best ramen in the United Arab Emirates.

“We are touched by this recognition because it embodies the hardwork and passion of everyone behind IchiRyu. It is a result of our collective effort and the fruition of the support and love of our loyal patrons,” said IchiRyu Chairman and Chief Design Officer Nicolai De Guzman.

First to bring the bocchi seki or solo dining experience in the UAE, IchiRyu is located in Wasl Port Views Building 7, Jumeirah 1, Dubai. Its best-selling ramen include the aka paitan (red ramen) and the IchiRyu Kotteri (Chef’s special).
