Save your time and don't go to Ganko Ittetsu Ramen on Thayer. Went last week, it's filthy inside, the staff is really inexperienced (not their fault, but it was really rough), and the food wasn't anywhere near good enough to try it again. Made me sad

Was just there last week. Staff comment is on-point, but I’d still recommend it. I don’t get the Ganko hate, it must be a seasonal staffing thing? Their ramen is so much better than what I’ve had at Wara Wara.

Idk, the ramen was only ok, with really fatty meat and a pretty small portion (I know it's supposed to have fat, this was not that). I just think it's overpriced when you can get the same quality product elsewhere

Surprising considering their really solid rating on google. I've been to their brookline location and it was quite good. Might have just been an off day there for you :/

It was pretty surprising. It was the dirtiest front of house I've seen in a long time. Don't want to think about the areas I couldn't see. It doesn't get that dirty if there isn't serious issues in staffing/mgt.

They actually won best of Boston in recent years (other location is Brookline). I like other options a bit more, but if that's a testament to the pretty solid reviews it does tend to have in the larger area.

Glad we weren’t the only ones unimpressed by it. Very mid food, can’t say the service or cleanliness was that bad though

Will plug Ebisu as a much better experience completely.

Where’s the good place at then?? If you’re gonna knock one place at least offer up a better one

I haven't had any in PVD that is consistent and delicious enough to recommend. I was giving a warning.
