Itton Ramen & Japanese Street Food

I had read about Itton Ramen in Burnsville, as the restaurant is a new entrant into the growing Asian food scene south of the River. This new restaurant is in the old pizza place near Blue Max Liquor Store, just off CR 42.

So, on Saturday night I was really craving "yaki-udon", a wonderful "comfort food" of Japan. Yaki = fried, Udon = large wheat noodles; typically cooked udon noodles are then stir-fried in different regional sauces with vegetables, other proteins thrown in at your option. Yaki soba/Yaki udon are great comfort foods in Japan!

I had the "yasai yaki-udon", and it was served quickly to my table. I also ordered an order of pork gyoza. The gyoza was crispy, and wonderfully prepared. The yaki-udon was similarly delicious, though next time I will ask the staff to fry the udon a bit more (I like them just shy of crunchy!).

While I waited, I admired the outstanding decorations which literally plaster nearly every square inch of the interior of the "izakaya". I also studied the extensive menu! Take a look at my photos; I took photos of the current menu. Wow! Many many options.

Location is good, at the end of a strip mall, lots of free parking. The restaurant is smallish, seating only around 20 people tops? Food was well priced, served piping hot, and delicious! Made me dream about Onomichi-shi or Hiroshima! Very authentic Japanese izakaya comfort foods here.

OH, and they have big bottles (25 oz) of kirin or Sapporo biru for $8! To wash all the delicious tabemono down to my onaka, mind you.... I'll be back to Itton Ramen! Take a look at my photos.

This new Ramen place is fantastic. I got the pan fried pork gyoza and the spicy miso ramen. Both were freshly prepared and absolutely delicious! The place was clean and the decor was fun. My only complaint is that they had really loud music playing that was full of swear words and very vulgar phrases. It wasn’t in keeping with the restaurant and was annoying to hear the f-word multiple times each song.

Went for their soft open and got their ramen and it was super tasty! Will definitely be going again!

Had curry plate ！the flavor was really great but would like to have more curry sauce on side , or maybe can offer customer if they think it’s not enough sauce they could ask for more that way it won’t be so wasteful , staff are amazing So happy they decided to open this location!

Had a great experience, friendly staff, great food, quick service, and I look forward to going back.
