This restaurant has an impressive variety of vegetarian ramen options, and the portion sizes are very generous. While the ramen itself was flavorful, the broth was especially creamy, which really stood out. The starters were excellent, and the corn dish was surprisingly good. But honestly, the cocktails stole the show—super well crafted. Overall, a great spot and highly recommend, especially if you like rich, comforting ramen and good drinks.

Party of 2, seated right away
• Service was quick – servers were very polite and prompt, bordering pushy.
• Menu was very clear to understand
• Ordered Yuzu Shoyu and Akamaru Modern ramens with Takoyaki as an app
• Takoyaki is the best I’ve ever had, better than ones from the street vendors in Japan. I’m not joking. Extremely crisp outside with a perfectly soft fluffy inner. Ask for their mentaiko sauce on the side – makes it easier to control sauciness (duh) 5/5
• Yuzu shoyu was extremely flavorful and fresh. Perfectly salty, light broth, and very fragrant, especially with the yuzu zest. Noodles are thin and perfectly al dente. Ordered extra noodles bc the broth was so good and fresh 4.5/5
• Akamaru Modern is a stick-to-your-bones type, great for chilly weather. Very thick and deep-flavored broth. Not too salty, but no need for more salt. Noodles are thin and perfectly al dente. 4.25/5
• Water refills every minute if you’re a water drinker like myself 5/5
Extremely pleased with this last-minute decision dinner plan.
Bill came out to 70$ish for 2 ramens, 1 takoyaki, 1 side order of noods, and tip.

Somehow remember this spot to be much better. Really expensive now for very small portion size. Got the Karaka spicy and it was ok. What you would expect from any decent bowl of tonkotsu ramen. Would have preferred the enoki tempura to be served in larger bites as well, but it was tasty nonetheless.
Very quick service, and fine decor. Overall, it’s a nice place for a business lunch I would say, but not really worth it otherwise.

I went to Ippudo with my partner and really enjoyed it. I loved how the ramen was flavorful and beautifully presented. I really loved the toppings as they added great texture and depth to every bite. The atmosphere was inviting and made it a great spot for a date night.

We had the Akamaru modern for 3 and it took them about 30min to serve but for the Dragon Tantan didn’t arrived until we were done and the 4th person had to eat alone.
As you enter at the restaurant and if there’s nobody waiting at the reception, don’t wait, or you’ll be waiting for no one. Just enter. We waited for 5 min and decided to go in and still, it took awhile for someone to get us a table.

Incredible Ramen! I went to Ippudo in New York a while back and it was great, so when I saw this, I was so excited! Very friendly staff, and she helped us pick out a nice sake to go with our meal. All our food was great! Definitely will come back next time I’m in SF.

This is my favorite restaurant for vegan/vegetarian ramen. This location had great atmosphere, I loved how warm and intimate it felt inside – great for a cold winter day. I got the nirvana karaka and the serving of miso bolognese on the side was plenty. The enoki mushroom tempura had great flavor as well as the marinated carrots. I love the tofu chashu so much that my husband and I split an extra serving of it. We’ll definitely be coming here again and again!

I’m a San francisco local, I’m familiar with the nuances and cost of living in this city. My Miso Ramen $22 was tasty, but portions were very small, good service and comfortable setting. I was surprised that their pricing was not in alignment with their menu. My Miso came to $32 plus tax (no substitutes). As a result my overall experience is 3 due to the small portions, and over price. (Very touristy, not for locals).

Ippudo San Francisco delivers a grand city-chic vibe from the moment you walk in. The ramen arrives like a spotlight moment—steaming, rich, and full of flavor. The whole place pulses with modern Japanese energy, warm service, and an unforgettable atmosphere.

Spicy Tuna Roll…a Dish of Its Own!
The Spicy Tuna Roll is the star here, fresh, balanced, and packed with flavor. It’s one of those rare rolls that feels like its own signature dish rather than just another sushi staple.
The Brussels Sprouts are delightful, perfectly crisp, lightly charred, and seasoned just right. A simple dish elevated by great technique.
And that Akamura Modern Broth? A total blessing in a bowl, rich, comforting, and beautifully layered. It ties the whole meal together like a culinary exclamation point.
An easy five stars.
