ABSOLUTELY THE BEST RAMEN IN NEW ENGLAND!!! Everything was delicious prepared perfectly. This place opens at 5:00pm we got there about 5:02pm and good thing we got there when we did because we got the last table in 2 minutes this place was completely full and the line was building up at the door if that doesn’t speak volumes of this restaurant I can’t help you. We can not wait to be back

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.

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!

Yummy food for the area. Great broth. Medium noodle. The seating wait time was not long. Take out is a very quick process. Street parking was easy as well around 5pm weekday. The store is going on a vacation March until May 2025.

The veggie options were OKAY. Not bad also not as good as good bought ramen. I think their pork broth is supposed to be really good but I can't have pork so I couldn't have it. Note to owner-- try a chicken, fish or beef broth for folks who can't have pork. Staff was very friendly and attentive. Never had to wait for anything. Wait was long on a Friday night but that just means they're good. No reservation. Lots of parking available within walking distance. And the prices are very reasonable
