This cozy ramen restaurant is a hidden gem for anyone craving authentic Japanese comfort food without spending a fortune. The highlight of the meal was the Hokkaido ramen, a rich and hearty bowl that truly captures the bold flavors of northern Japan. The broth was deeply savory, creamy, and full-bodied without being overly heavy, and the noodles had the perfect chewy texture. It felt like the kind of dish that warms you from the inside out, especially on a cold day.
The miso ramen was equally impressive. Its broth had a robust, slightly nutty depth from the fermented miso, balanced with just enough saltiness and umami to keep every spoonful exciting. Topped with tender slices of chashu pork, fresh scallions, and a perfectly cooked egg, it delivered both flavor and comfort in every bite.
Speaking of pork, the chashu don was a must-order side. The rice bowl was generously portioned and layered with melt-in-your-mouth braised pork that was sweet, savory, and slightly smoky. The sauce soaked into the rice beautifully, making it incredibly satisfying and hard to stop eating.
To finish, the pudding was a delightful surprise. Smooth, creamy, and lightly sweet, it had a classic custard flavor with a silky texture that felt homemade. It was the perfect light dessert after a rich ramen meal
Staff was served with lovely friendly
What makes this restaurant stand out even more is the affordability. The portions are generous, the quality is high, and the prices are very reasonable compared to many ramen spots. Whether you are a ramen enthusiast or just looking for a comforting, budget-friendly meal, this place delivers on all fronts. It is definitely a spot worth returning to again and again.

Had a great dinner at Pikaichi. I had the spicy miso, which I really enjoyed – I’d have it again. The hokkai shio was also very good. I was going to have the yuzu soda, but they were unfortunately out. Instead I had the melon cream which I thought was too sweet.

The ramen is decent for the price. Overall, it’s good value. I ordered the spicy miso ramen with tofu, and it was flavorful and satisfying. A solid option if you’re looking for something affordable.
It wouldn’t be my first choice for Ramen, but it’s a reasonable option to visit.

Pretty OK ramen. I don’t eat pork so I could only get the vegetarian ramen, so my review isn’t reflective of the majority. However i thought the vegetarian ramen broth was pretty nice. I wish the eggs weren’t marinated with pork as I would have loved to get that in my bowl too.

Simply the best ramen in the best setting in the entire Boston area. Also the side of curry and rice is delish! Spicy Miso is the bomb along with the shoyu ramen.

Great service! Small menu so it was very easy to pick what to eat. I went with the spicy miso Ramen with extra pork. I was surprised at how affordable the food was. Our order came out within a few minutes of ordering. I’m mindful that I went during lunch time on a cold day in the middle of the week so it wasn’t very busy. Portion size isn’t much but it made up for it in flavor. Strongly recommend. I will come back!

Recommended by our son, we made the short 20-minute drive to check out Pikaichi, a ramen spot tucked away in Medford. As we approached, we noticed there were no other businesses nearby—but what caught our attention was the crowd of people waiting in line to get in. That was our first sign we were in for something good. I thought to myself, “Everyone must be here just for the food.”
After putting our names on the waitlist, it quickly became clear that this is a local, family-owned restaurant. The chef, who may also be the owner, prepares the ramen right in front of you behind the counter, adding a personal touch that’s rare these days. We waited about 20 minutes for a table—not bad considering how popular it seems to be.
Ordering was simple, and the menu offers a great variety of ramen bases and side dishes. We each chose a different soup base, and every bowl arrived beautifully presented and full of rich, satisfying flavor.
If you’re in the area and love ramen, this place is absolutely worth a visit. Highly recommended!

Small ramen shop, including a Japanese greeting and good-bye! We ordered a spicy miso ramen, a yuzu ramen, and a curry rice. The prices were around 12.49 for a bowl of ramen and varies slightly depending on which one you order. Fast service with a smile, this ramen ship is a great spot if you are in the area!

Pikaichi was bustling on a Saturday for lunch. We waited around 20 minutes to get seated, and saw many people waiting when we left. It’s a no-frills establishment with quick and efficient service, so we weren’t there for long.
I got the jigoku ramen and it was really delicious! It had good spice and wonderful flavor. I liked the tender meat, chewy noodles, and jammy egg as well. I’d definitely get this again.
I’m looking forward to my next visit!

Pikaichi is probably my favorite ramen place to go to within the Greater Boston area. I’ve been coming to the restaurant since it began in Super88 in the Allston area, and followed it to their new restaurant location in Medford.
The quality has remained the same over the last 5 years of eating Pikaichi. The service is excellent, prices are cheaper than most ramen places in the area, but the quality is still exceptional. Wait times and parking can be a bit of an issue, but it is well worth the wait.
I typically get the Jigoku Ramen, with additional toppings such as extra noodles, the chashu rice, and a whole egg added in. This comes out to around $16-17 for the total dish. The Jigoku isn’t too spicy, with the portion size being good for the price. The extra noodles are perfect to use up the rest of the broth, with the rest going for the rice. It is a bit salty for some, but I find that it is balanced quite well with the noodles and rice.
Overall, one of my favorite ramen spots in the whole city area, and I will continue coming back.
