What to Avoid (6)

Food 6

  1. Chef’s special ramen Net −1
    “The chef’s special ramen was the worst offender. The chicken was visibly slimy and resembled duck rather than chicken, with an unbearable smell that made the dish inedible. This was meant to be the signature dish—instead, it was revolting.”
  2. Chicken katsu kare Net −1
    “Skip the usual Chicken Katsu Kare and try the Karaage Kare instead. Crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside. The Japanese curry sauce was so good!”
  3. Fried shrimp Net −1
    “The shrimp nigiri and fried shrimp were passable—nothing special, but edible.”
  4. Kaisen ramen Net −1
    “We ordered their best-sellers, the IchiRyu Chef Kotteri Ramen and the Kaisen Ramen, but they didn't live up to the hype. Husband didn’t eat his ramen and i eat only the protein. It was beautifully presented but was served cold, and the flavor was just off.”
  5. Nigiri platter Net −1
    “The Nigiri platter was a letdown, as the quality of the sushi rice didn't quite meet the standard you'd expect from a Japanese restaurant.”
  6. Shrimp nigiri Net −1
    “The shrimp nigiri and fried shrimp were passable—nothing special, but edible.”

The Bottom Line

IchiRyu Ramen House Marina is built around ramen, but the menu goes beyond noodles. Reviews mention Aka Paitan, Truffle Ramen and Red Ramen – Tantanmen, alongside takoyaki, sushi, curry, rice dishes and desserts. The strongest bowls are described as rich and creamy, with well-cooked noodles, tender meat and, in one review, a jammy egg.

The setting is a major part of the visit. Anime artwork covers the walls, classic anime plays on screens, and one screen carries a live feed from Japan. The spacious, warm interior suits solo diners, couples, families and groups; a private dining room is available with a reported 1,000 AED consumable minimum.

Service is one of the most consistent positives, with reviewers repeatedly describing attentive, welcoming staff and quick order delivery. The portions are often called generous, and several diners consider the food good value, although one review described the restaurant as somewhat more expensive than nearby Japanese options. There are a few cautions.

One diner received cold ramen with an off flavour, while another disliked the wakame salad. A separate guest found repeated offers of takoyaki and drinks too persistent. If you prefer less broth, ask for it directly; Sunday parking was reported as free by one reviewer.
