Reviews for Ika San Ramen & Izakaya in Papillion, NE

Delicious ramen, with excellent flavor. We got the shoyu ramen, delicious hearty flavor. The spicy Miso was also delicious, I... will say that I believe they used gochujang as the spice for the spicy Miso, it was still delicious, but not Japanese and aslightly different flavor than I'd expected. The Tokyo chicken was also delicious, very hearty breading and flavor. Read more

The Fuego Ramen bowl was outstanding. One of the best I have ever had. Flavor was great, the buffalo chicken skin and charred... chicken thighs in the ramen were perfectly cooked. My wife had the Spicy Miso and I think it might have been even better. TheGochujang Sausage in the Spicy Miso is something you have to experience. We also had the Kimchi tempura which I now want to eateveryday. Read more

This place was delicious. The restaurant is airy and clean. Our lunches were delicious. The service was great. Everything was... amazing. I had the vegetarian ramen. I had never had mushroom bacon before... and I greatly enjoyed it. Everything about thedish was on point. My kiddo has the miso ramen and she said it was delish. We also shared edemame for an appetizer... perfectlysteamed and salted. Read more

Fried calamari is the best I had, worth 5 stars. Tonkatsu is good if not too salty. Sho yo ramen is weird because it?s too salty... and sweet at the same time. Chicken son is also too sweet. Read more

I know this is a ramen restaurant but if you haven?t tried the sushi you are missing out. The chef created custom daily specials... and they are amazing! The shrimp nachos were fire! Fresh, flavorful and some of the best sushi in Omaha. Make sure you add it toyour order! Read more

Great broth flavors and creative (non traditional) toppings. If i could just make one nitpicky complain, I do wish the sprouts... were blanched & not raw and my slow cooked pork had more flavor. Everything else was pretty good, though I was kinda expecting alot from the hype of this place. Read more

Oish? ! :) Only been here twice and both times was VERY satisfied with everything. Staff was amazing. They leave you to eat in... piece but check on you every so often. Food is served as soon as it's finished so might not come out at once but that was finefor us. The ramen bowls are HUGE. We asked for two little empty bowls so we could share with our toddlers and they happily gotthem for us. The pulled pork buns are absolutely amazing. My toddlers ate SO much and if you have toddlers you know how pickythey can be. 10/10 will be back again! Read more

Nice option if you are looking for a spacious izakaya offering ramen, sushi, rice bowls and appetizers. This is part of a local... chain. Tonkatsu broth was fantastic at a 5 star, but the char Siu was a 3 star. It didn't have that fresh pork taste and had aslight after taste that wasn't appealing. The Fuego rounded out at a 4 star for me. The chicken skin was soggy by the time Itried it (it wasn't my meal, it was my friends). The chicken didn't have that much flavor, but the top was over cooked and Ifound it difficult to bite through. As it is located in the center part of shadow lake, there is technically tons of parkingbut you are kind of fighting with other businesses. Ika is located off to the side though and I believe the parking will beeasier here than at other restaurants that are located in the center as it also happens to be at the edge instead of deadcenter. Service was professional where he explained everything, but his tone and eyes that never met mine made me feel like hedidn't want to be there. I asked my dining companion who agreed it was slightly uncomfortable. Read more
