Embrace your inner #ForeverAlone.
Ichiran Ramen is Secret Tutoring (2018)a Japan-based restaurant chain famous for its unique dining style. Customers eat alone, partitioned into individual sections that separate them from other diners and the staff, and orders are taken by filling out a form, all in order to limit human interaction.
And now, there's good news for New Yorkers: Last month, the introverted foodie's paradise finally opened a shop in Bushwick, Brooklyn.
Ichiran was founded in Fukuoka, Japan, in 1960. As explained by Timeline, the chain believes that eating solo "helps people focus on their food," as it "eliminates the need for exchanging saccharine pleasantries with servers or companions."
Additionally, by encouraging people to eat out by themselves, Ichiran is fighting the stigma that is often attached to solo dining.

There is no host at the restaurant – diners can walk straight inside and choose a booth. There is a button on each table that if pressed will signal a server to refill water. The paper menus are detailed – diners can indicate nearly a dozen different specifics to create their perfect bowl of ramen.

And in a loud, busy city where people are often looking for any brief moment of solitude they can find, Ichiran seems like it just might fit in.
