Excellent! From the same People that own Torino ramen. They bring the same level of attention to the details of each preparation. Nothing is an afterthought And everything tasted amazing. The young man at the counter was kind and patient with us, explaining everything. We had never been so didn't know what to order.
We had Bao and a couple of bowls. I can't believe it took me so long to try it out.

Great flavors. All noodles vegan. Flavorful broth. Decent portions. Quick. Love Torino already which this is an offshoot of.

My family and I were nearby and hungry. Little did we know this would be some of the most delicious Japanese food we’ve had! The bentos are delicious and all components well done, and we hear the ramen is incredible as well. Staff very kind and outgoing, great vibes overall.

Found this place right off the highway (94). We were tired of fast food. My daughter is a ramen connoisseur. She loved it. She loved the pork ramen. I loved the pork ramen as well. Emi is incredible. Very informed. Knew about what foods might be processed with peanuts as my daughter has an allergy. They don't use peanuts which was nice. But she still checked on the pork Chashu to be absolutely sure. Very friendly too! So good we brought some home for the boyfriend. Totally casual. But they do have a sit down as well across town. We'll be back!

Food wasn’t great. Ordered pork chashu ramen. The pork was a dry block of meat. Was not cut at all.

Loved the food! It was super yummy and affordable. I’d go back in a heartbeat. We got the bento, a rice bowl, and a combo. Really helpful staff and good service.

Excellent service and bright, clean restaurant ideal for take-out. There is a long table where you can sit and eat-in at Ichi, if you prefer. I LOVE the Yakiniku Beef BBQ Donburi. I haven't tried too many items on the menu because once I find something I love, I stick with it. Prices are good and the food is delicious. Definitely worth checking it out! It's my family's go-to place for take-out.

This place has great ramen and sushi! Many options to choose from for a good price. They are so friendly and accommodating. It’s our go-to place when we can’t decide what to eat.
It’s not just a good food, it’s the best in the area. When my daughter is sick- ramen. When I’m busy- onigiri on the go. Bento, Boba, just the best. Very clean place, very clean food. you won’t feel like you eating fast food, but very well made home food. We’re so lucky to have this place in Wilmette. We prefer homemade food, but when it’s busy day Ichi just our lifesaver. I never tried better cooked rice than this one. I tried many times at home, but Ichi rice just the best! Love! Thank you

Nice clean casual spot with minimal seating. Got the Chicken karrage bowl was good with curry sauce they have other sauce options hope to try again my meal came with miso soup. And decided to try the bao the bun was good but felt the pork was a bit dry and kimchi made it a bit soggy messy. Overall great experience hope to go again

I am so excited that I found this place. It is near Wayfair by I-94. I have been looking for decent Japanese place without having to go to Schaumburg. This place has food that Japanese local would eat. I love their yakiniku beer bento and also I buy their onigiris for my kids snack before their activities. Their baos and ramen are basically the same as what Torino offers. (They are owned by the same owners.) It is primarily for takeout orders but there is space you can eat-in. The front staff is very friendly.

Simple but comforting tofu donburi and ume oringiri.

Ichi is a great little Japanese place with a fairly large menu compared to its size. I loved the large communal table and great decor. The food is awesome, try the Japanese fried chicken.
