Reviews
My friends ordered ramen and really liked it. The portions were very generous. We also ordered buns. I tried the chicken bun and absolutely loved it. I had the Manhattan Bridge sushi. It was good, but I wish I had ordered the spicy shrimp tempura instead.
Overall, the food was tasty and enjoyable. A great spot, especially for sharing plates with friends.
Have to say the experience of eating here is quite pleasing, but for me the food is so so. I got a pork bun, which was quite good, and the spicy miso ramen.
Though it photographed beautifully, the ramen was just okay, I found it a bit too oily and just texturally off. Wasn’t super impressed with the other flavors. Also, kind of wild to me that the soft boiled egg was an extra topping and didn’t come with it automatically. I’ve come here a few times now for the vibe and convenient location but left a bit unsatisfied.
Service was friendly and the restaurant has a nice atmosphere, but overall, it didn’t quite capture that “wow” factor. Still, it’s a decent spot if you’re craving ramen in the city.
I got a special ramen that came in extra large. Apparently I was one of 2 ppl to order extra large in the past 2 – 3 months lol… I had no idea how big it was. It was frigggin enormous. I could not finish even with the help of my 16 yr old. Had to pack for home.
But good lord was it tasty. The food was on point with broth rich with flavor and melty meats. Garlic toppings, spicy flakes and extra sauces galore. This meal was everything my boys and I needed at the end of a great day in the city.
Food: The ramen was exceptional—rich, flavorful broth and perfectly cooked noodles. The appetizer options were also enjoyable, though I found some a bit on the salty side. Overall, the quality was impressive.
Service: The service was attentive and friendly. My server was knowledgeable about the menu and made great suggestions, though there were a couple of delays in getting our orders.
Atmosphere: The vibe of the restaurant was lively and inviting. It has a modern feel but maintains a cozy atmosphere perfect for enjoying a meal with friends.
Despite a few minor issues, I’d highly recommend Ippudo for anyone looking for delicious ramen and a lively dining experience!
Service is friendly and super quick.
Get the dragon tantan ramen and the pork bun!!!
