Came here for ramen while visiting San Francisco and it was good enough for me to return a second time. Be aware that some of the toppings, like egg isn't included in the price. Check the menu and make sure you add everything else that you want in your ramen.
The brother is pretty good and the noodl
A great place to enjoy authentic Ramen in a lively atmosphere. We ordered the Bushi special, Shiromaru and Akamaru Modern. The Bushi special has a thick broth so buyer beware. You may not want to order a beer as the Ramen dish is rather filling. Place is clean and friendly with communal tables I
Best miso ramen! So tasty, and perfect for the cold weather! The karaage chicken and shishito peppers were also great appetizers! Nice atmosphere, and great service. Looking forward to eating there again!
Love me some delicious pork buns. Their meat to bun ratio was spot on. Then the ramen. It was delicious. That broth is fantastic. It is apparently cooked for 2 days in a specially crafted pot creating a “double maturation process” which deepens the flavor. I didn’t think it was salty as some others
Arrived for a saturday lunch at noon. It wasn't packed. But the place has a fast turnover so there's always seats.
Had the spicy Karaka ramen and pork belly bun. The ramen was pretty spicy, but it's a good spice with surprisingly lots of depth and flavor. The noodles were thin and perfectly cooked.
Excellent service. Ramen broth was rich but light, and the meat (chicken, pork) was tender and not dry at all. Cheesecake for dessert was also delicious. The pork, chicken, and veggie buns are also a must-have.
Pork bun: 10/10. Worth the visit just for that.
Cocktail: 9/10 very creative, great taste. Lychee was a bit dry.
Ramen: 6/10. Spice and style was lackluster. Noodles were not good.
Service: efficient, unassuming (was there at an odd lunch hour on a Sunday).
11/2023: Absurdly had to wait for the whole party to be seated - why is that? We’re trying to use the table and order as much as anyone else would be… Service was good and pretty fast, though notably individual items came out on their own, not all together.
This is the first Ippudo i had outside of Japan. The place is high end compared to the ones in Japan. Im very happy to say the ramen taste is exactly the same from Tokyo and Osaka. This visit i had Akamaru ramen, very delicious 😋.
I remember my cousin recommended Ippudo in NYC but we never ended up trying, and then I saw an Ippudo right by my hotel so…why not!
Decor is nice and I like the layout of the place. I asked for recommendations and was recommended the Karaka Spicy if I liked spicy (and I do), although I got it with
