Windy and cold in SF tonight, so we decided on Ippudo ramen before watching Supergirl at the Metreon. The host asked if we and another party of 4 wouldn't mind sharing a long table, so both parties agreed. The place was extremely busy!! Our orders were taken pretty fast, and the steaming bowls of ramen came out shortly after. The tonkotsu broth brought back memories of Japan where Ippudo ramen shops were everywhere, in the malls or train stations....yes, Ippudo is a very popular chain. And here it tastes as good!! The menu has expanded over the years, but we just wanted a quick dinner before the movie so we all ordered the same thing. Sharing a table must be confusing for the waiters, they kept asking which party had what ....
100/10 would go again. I can eat that seasoned cucumber everyday, and I don't even like cucumbers. The Karaka Spicy Ramen was a fan favorite-- broth was perfect and the poached egg was a must making it even more rich n creamy. The bun medley (tempura shrimp was my fav) and spicy chicken karaage was a great way to get this delicious dinner started. The ambiance made me feel like I was in Japan again. Overall a great experience!
Came here after a long day at the Super Bowl experience. We did a walk-in for four. The wait for a table was 20 mins or we can share a large table with random people and be seated immediately. We were hungry. We went with the large shared table. Pleasantly, there was more than enough room. There were at least 1-2 seats in between the three groups on each side that were there- a solo diner, a small family of 3, and my group of 4. I ordered the Karaka Spicy, my bf ordered Akamaru Modern, his sister ordered Miso, and I don't remember what her friend got- I think it was also Karaka spicy. My bf and I ordered the Treasure plate on the side to share and a side of spicy paste because I know Japanese spicy is barely spicy (from someone who grew up eating SEA spicy). Karaka Spicy had a nicely balance tonkotsu mouth feel and pork flavor. Broth was a little salty. I was correct to assume that it wasn't spicy because I used half of the side of spicy paste and I still didn't think it was spicy enough. Chashu was cooked fine. Notes: - I wished I would've asked if they could swap the thin noodles for the thick ones. I love the chew thicker noodles provide. - Noodles were cooked al dente. Akamaru Modern tasted very similar to Karaka spicy without the spicy. My bf used the other half of the spicy paste as dip for his toppings. He enjoyed it. Miso was a lighter broth (obvi) with a good umami flavor and was not watered down. Solid. She loved it. I have never seen her finish a whole bowl of ramen before. There was a server in training that took our order with the help of the trainer- he did great. Staff was attentive with our waters. Bussers were also quick to notice and remove empty plates and bowls regularly making for an easy clean up after we leave and kept the shared table clutter free. Interior was modern, but casual. They had an expansive menu with vegetarian choices, sushi, buns, karage, etc. and a surprisingly large array of alcohol. I would def like to be back to try some drinks.
Great ramen and beautiful restaurant! When you first walk in, you don't see the seating area, but when you're guided back, it's so spacious. There are many tables and also shared tables if you have small parties and are open to it (they double check if you're okay with that!) We got the karaage and each a bowl of ramen. The karaage pieces were huge and I enjoyed them, definitely filling. I got the yuzu ramen with their spicy ball on the side, which was a great decision. The spiciness really brought out the yuzu flavor in my opinion and was so unique.
Service and Staff: - We waited about 10 minutes and were asked if we wanted an individual table or if we were okay with a community table (we went with the community table) - Our server was nice - we were put off a bit though from a random staff member that came over and started very loudly telling us it would be $4 if we wanted to add more spice to our ramen. This communication was loud, repetitive, and unnecessary - Scan the QR code at your table to view the menu. A server will then come and take your order Food and Drinks: - Sake: flavorful and smooth - Dragon Tantan: the sesame broth was flavorful and this bowl definitely came with a kick of spice from the Szechuan flavors - Spicy Miso: another spicy ramen dish punched with flavor - Yuzu Shoyu: fun mix of flavors between the shoyu and the citrusy yuzu. Not your typical ramen flavors Miscellaneous: - Good for groups up to about 6 people - Bathroom is located in the back of the restaurant - Fairly loud given the amount of tables in the restaurant
First time I went to the sf location since the first location in Berkeley opened 6 or so years ago. Staff were friendly and the food was good. We got seated and served quickly. I got my shoyu ramen because I like to compare this with all other ramen shoppes. It was good and solid but nothing strikingly out of the ordinary. Noodles perfect texture Broth has enough umami Porkx slices good Perfect medium boiled egg Love the bamboo shoots Oh and it's also convenient to have the baskets next to my table to put my coat a shopping bags.
Beautiful restaurant - you walk through the paper wall to get to the dining area, and it feels nice and private back there. I was really impressed with the overall design. I got the miso ramen. It was really good, but not on the same level as some of the other top ramen spots in SF. Prices are reasonable, and the service was great. Overall a solid ramen option!
I quite enjoyed the ramen. Got the modern tonkatsu, which i liked, and my husband got the shoyu (he thought was decent, not amazing); tried three buns cause it was happy hour; i liked the pork the best, and my husband liked the chicken the most. We both agreed the shrimp one was subpar. I liked the vibes too. My complaints: to add an egg, it was $4... I didnt realize it was the price of like two at any other restaurants until I saw the bill cause the waiter just asked if I wanted one (i thought it would be max $3 and even that is really pushing it). That was my fault for not double checking though. The service was really slow for a ramen joint. Employees were friendly but service was pretty underwhelming
We thought it was a pretty good ramen joint. We definitely liked the restaurant aesthetic and the service was great. The ramen itself was tasty. We got the classic and also the spicy. Both were good and we liked the noodle texture. Definitely had that shin sen gumi hakata ramen noodle feel. The broth was good too. We got one of each of the appetizer buns but thought they were just ok and we could have passed on those.
Ippudo was kind enough to accomodate our group of 6 before closing time. They said we wouldn't be able to order appetizers which was okay because we were only interested in getting their ramen anyway. Their ramen was perfect for a cold night out in SF. If we weren't so rushed (which was obviously our fault), we could've enjoyed the restaurant a little better. It was definitely an elevated vibe from your typical ramen restaurant. Can't wait to come back again and try other things on their menu.
My friend and I were going to the Metron to see a movie. I asked here where we should eat. She recommended her fourth best ramen place. Now, she is serious about her ramen, so fourth best in a city like San Francisco promised to be pretty darn good. Ippudo is tucked away in Yerba Buena alley, right next to Press Club. Walking in, you can't see the dining room. For some reason, I love that. It makes it feel like a well-kept secret. Once inside, the dining room is cave- like. Not in a bad way, just mood lighting, no windows, and natural edged wooden tables. There is also a big " tree" in the middle of the room. Service was fast, and efficient. The food was mostly good. I really loved my pork bun. For some reason, my shrimp bun was missing the mayo and lettuce. The first bite was kind of bland, but a dollop of the house made chili sauce add a nice touch of umani. My gyoza were a bit of a disappointment. They were cooked perfectly, but were also bland. The spicy sauce added heat, but no real flavor. The best part of my meal was probably my soda, which wasn't too sweet, and was wonderfully citrusy. My friend seemed really happy with her veggie ramen, and the chili sauce that came with it was delightful. One weird thing, drinks are only on the qr code menu. The paper menu they offer is only for food. Honestly, I love a paper menu, so I wish the had one for the drinks, too. I would stop in again for a quick bite, but probably not make it my go to.

My favorite ramen in the City! -Delicious broth -Menu has a good variety of different types of ramen: tonkotsu (pork), chicken, & vegetarian -Loved the spicy tuna roll with tuna poke "chunky salsa" on top. Roll was squishy & crunchy...yum! -option for skinny or thick wavy noodles -nice boujee interior -friendly service :) *Wished they had more specialty beer, like a yuzu beer or somethin'* read more
This place has beautiful decor and the setting of this restaurant really is a vibe. Goma Q (cucumber): can't go wrong with this. It was a refreshing appetizer. Cooled and crunchy with the perfect amount sesame dressing. Akamaru Ramen: 5/5 - the broth was delicious, had a great umami flavor to it. Noodles were made the way I requested. This location is downtown so parking can be a little bit further. But perfect location for those staying in hotels near by and/or hanging around Yerba Buena. The staff was really friendly, the restaurant was clean, and overall I had a great experience trying this place for the first time. read more

The ramen and karaage (Japanese fried chicken) that we had at this Ippudo location in San Francisco was excellent. Service was great too, and the wait was short. I enjoyed my experience here more than my experience at Ippudo's original US location in Manhattan's East Village. Therefore, I give this Ippudo five stars. My wife disagrees with me. She rates our experience at this location four stars. She thought the ramen was good, but not mind-blowing. Some people might expect mind-blowing ramen from a brand as highly-regarded as Ippudo. She thinks the ramen we have back home at Okiboru in Atlanta is better. I can't really argue with her because she makes some good points. For those unfamiliar, Ippudo is an internationally-renowned ramen restaurant chain from Fukuoka, Japan. Fukuoka is where tonkotsu ramen originated. There are only seven Ippudo locations in the US at the time of writing this review. They're either in California or New York. The East Village location was Ippudo's first location outside of Japan. That location opened in March 2008. This location in San Francisco opened in January 2018. This location is hidden from street view, but it's easy to find because it's located on a prominent, wide walkway between Market Street and Yerba Buena Gardens in SoMa. When we arrived just before 1:30pm on a Sunday, there was a line of about 10-12 people inside ahead of us. The line snaked through the front bar area. The bar was not in use. We were seated in less than 10 minutes. Ippudo doesn't take reservations. It's first come, first served and everyone in your party must be present to be seated. One guy in line in front of us got held back because the rest of his party hadn't shown up yet. Ippudo is also strict about no outside food or beverages. My wife brought in an iced coffee and had to leave it at the bar. We picked it back up on our way out. This location has an open kitchen and a fairly spacious modern dining room. The place was packed when we sat down, but by the time we left, shortly before 2:40pm, there were several open tables and no line. The tables were placed closely together. There was very little room separating our table from the one next to us. We might as well have been eating with the two random ladies adjacent. Solo diners and a few parties were seated at communal tables near the front of the dining room (that was my experience at the East Village location). So, you may be sharing a table with strangers. The ramen menu was straightforward with five kinds of meat or fish-based ramen ($18-21 each), four kinds of veggie ramen ($19-22 each), 14 toppings ($2-8 each; optional since the nine ramen selections already came with preset toppings), and kaedama (extra noodles to add to your broth after finishing your first serving, $3). The non-ramen menu had mostly Asian dishes like buns ($6 each or 3 for $17), dumplings (gyoza, $12), and rice bowls ($17 or $18 each). They also had some good-looking cheesecakes for dessert (different flavors, $7 each). The girls next to us got the Matcha Cheesecake and it looked delicious. Here's what we got: Special Appetizers * Oishi Kara-Age ($13) - deep-fried boneless chicken marinated with Ippudo's "secret" recipe; comes with choice of one dipping sauce -- we chose Mentaiko Mayo, homemade seasoned cod caviar with Japanese mayo Ramen * Shiromaru Classic ($18) - pork tonkotsu broth, Hakata thin noodles, pork belly chashu, scallions, seasoned bamboo shoots, and naruto * Akamaru Modern ($19) - pork tonkotsu broth, Hakata thin noodles, pork belly chashu, scallions, seasoned bamboo shoots and garlic oil; topped with Ippudo's "original 'umami'" paste If you're a fan of karaage, I think Ippudo's Oishi Kara-Age is worth getting. While it doesn't particularly stand out to me, satisfaction-wise, compared to other karaage, it is generally different in a few ways: (1) The batter is thicker and crunchier. (2) The chunks/pieces of chicken are bigger and meatier. (3) The savory, creamy dipping sauce is unique (and it's appetizing). I thought both the Shiromaru Classic and the Akamaru Modern ramen were equally terrific. My favorite and most memorable thing about them was the "Hakata" thin noodles. They had wonderful texture. When we ordered, our server asked us what noodle texture we'd like. I believe the options were soft, medium, and firm. We chose firm for both. The noodles were indeed firm, and bouncy, unlike most other restaurant ramen we've had. In Fukuoka, "Hakata ramen" is the same thing as tonkotsu ramen. I will say the tonkotsu broth wasn't as rich nor as complex as a lot of other restaurant ramen we've had. Also, my wife preferred the Akamaru Modern over the Shiromaru Classic because it was more flavorful overall. The Akamaru Modern came in a red bowl and the Shiromaru Classic came in a white bowl. Ippudo has red, white, and black bowls and the colors designate various ramen. We had a Thai server who was friendly and attentive. Our order came out fast. read more

A decent ramen place along Market Street. This place doesn't take reservations, but I was able to get a table for 2 upon walk in immediately on a Sunday evening. I ordered the Shiromaru classic ramen. While the noodles had a great texture and the flavor of the broth was good, I wish the soup had been more piping hot. Additionally, I felt like the portion size was a bit too small to justify an almost $20 price tag. After taxes and tip added on, it just felt like an overly expensive bowl of good noodles but not necessarily amazing noodles. Service was very quick. I want to say the food came out within 5 minutes of us ordering it, which was nice! The waiters were also extremely attentive; my friend dropped his spoon and a waiter came to replace his spoon without us even asking. A relatively calm and relaxing environment as well. A decent spot, but just a little pricy for a small bowl of noodles. read more

This spot sure garners the tech-city crowd. Youngins in muted-color baggy fashionista clothing. A dude raving about using A.I. art at his company because he doesn't want to keep human artists on contract......*grumble grumble* Anyway, pretty solid ramen restaurant. The miso ramen was soothing and flavor-balanced (not too salty at all). Plump takoyaki. Generous portion of shishito peppers. I might be crazy, but the pork bun tasted like a mini burger to me ahaha probably because it had soft lettuce and a mound of mayo. Also tried the yuzu passion drink. It was alright in that it was like a glorified mimosa as the drink taste was overwhelming of citrus juice. Place seems understaffed as it took a bit of time to get the check. Not sure how strong the ramen game is in SF but overall I recommend this spot if you're in the area and have a hankering for some ramen. read more

Next to Four Seasons San Francisco you'll find a great Ramen House. Though Ippudo San Francisco was recommend by St.Regis Hotel concierge, honestly, I had very low expectations as is not located anywhere near Japantown, convenient as it was within walking distance from my hotel. I was pleasantly surprised great food, excellent ramen, good service, vibrant vibe, and clean bathrooms. Ordered the Edamame, Ebi Mayo, and Shiromaru Classic Edamame: boiled edamame with yuzu seasoning salt. Ebi Mayo: Tempura shrimp with sweet red mayo,tangy white mayo on scallion and ginger bed. Shiromaru Classic: pork tonkotsu broth, Hakata thin noodles, scallions, seasoned bamboo shoots, naruto, and slow cooked pork loin chashu with a deeper, delectable flavor, added Tamago, marinaded seasoned egg, Everything was beyond delicious, a solid 5 Yelp starts. enjoy read more
Ippudo was an excellent spot for Ramen for a long time. However on this particular visit, the quality seems to have dropped. And as with every other restaurant, the prices of seem to have gone up. The place still has a classy vibe. The service is still pretty good and as is the food, although the buns aren't as tasty as I remember. It but it's not uniquely good and just doesn't quite justify its price considering you can get some pretty damn good Ramen all over the city. read more

5 food, 3 service The buns? Absolute fire--pillowy, savory, and crave-worthy. Ramen was rich, flavorful, and served fast. The space is sleek, stylish, and everything you want for a cozy noodle night. Service was... brisk. Felt a little rushed, with a language barrier that made things awkward. Nothing terrible, just not the warmest vibe when your server is shouting at you "order now". Go for the food. Stay for the flavors. Just don't expect a lingering, relaxed dinner. read more

I got one thing here and it was the Akamaru Modern Ramen. This broth was soo up my alley. Not too salty, not too "umami", it was just right. It was a really simple and well-done bowl. I would come back just to have this again! Service was ok. They took about 15 minutes to tell me they were out of the goma Q (cucumber appetizer), but they were able to serve the man sitting next to me who got a ramen bowl, even though he got seated after me. But I'm not rating based on this hiccup. read more

The wait was short to get seated so about 10mins They were pretty busy since it was 1215pm. It took awhile for them to get our order taken but it made sense. It was lunch time in a busy area off Market St. I ordered edamame & karaka spicy. The edamame was served warm with a powder on the side. I think it was salt with something else in it. Not bad but a lil weird. Karaka spicy: the broth was rich in flavor. Not too salty, not too spicy for the average spice lover. I personally would have had it more spicy. It was like sweetness and spice. I finished my whole bowl. You can add more toppings/extra and I got an Onsen Tamago added (poached egg). I disappeared after I mixed it all. The entrance was simple. After getting called to get seated, you walk through the curtain (noren) and are delightfully surprised by the dining area. The Aesthetic is modern and stylish. They have beautiful tree like sculpture and the walls are styled with cloth. They have a happy hour 3-6pm. Which I would definitely return for to try but I would also just go there for a date. Seems like it's the spot for lots of business people too. Saw lots of peopele in suits. Makes sense. Market St. read more

Sam was an amazing server! Stellar service I love this place This the spot I go to when my friends tell me they hungry or visitors are in the area. I take em here and we get lit! Ya know I got to get my Sapporo or That other what is it. Hmmmmm asahi how can I forget. I get the basic cuz it's all I need. The ramen Tonkatsu nothing modified and enjoy that with my alcohol one or two I'm good to go. It's super pretty in here and gives the authentic feel like I'm I. Tokyo with the bins for my bags cuz you know in Japan they be Hella hygiene friendly. Why can't all restaurants be like this. I love the storage bins. The k ly thing that is different is toilets are not bidets lol! Love how it gives and authentic feel like you are in Tokyo and this is hella close. Thankful for traveling without flying all the way overseas. Immaculate ambiance 10000000. read more
It seems limited ramen spots that are gem in San Francisco. I admit lots of Ramen spots doesn't do for me in general. There are some good ones but I just keep it a secret because of the limited seating. This place is a good place if you getting an early day drinking hangover in downtown San Francisco especially because the Press Club is Nextdoor ( app not included). The Ramen here which will rejuvenate you . It's like a menudo but with better tasting broth with fresh noodles and better cuts of pork and better flavor. I ordered the spicy tuna sushi and it woke up my mouth and sinuses but in a tasty way. I also got the shrimp bun which flavorful with a tempura twist and so smooth with their soft bun. The Karaka spicy ramen was delicious and has kick to it. The ramen was full of noodles which is my jam. Chopstick slurp to the end of this earth. The broth had a good spice which woke me up twice. Overall a solid place to enjoy some Japanese delight. Ippudo is the spot next to the Four Seasons enjoyable for all seasons. Although Summer in San Francisco officially ends through October Go to Ippudo for some ramen that keep you during the day awake and sober read more
I've tried their NY location before and this place was just as good as I remembered. Service was fast and easy. No wait times and the food comes out in minutes. Don't think you can go wrong with any of their ramen. The fried chicken bao was definitely a star of the show. Must try! read more

Been here multiple times but this is my most recent trip for lunch by myself. The noodles weren't as firm as they use to be. Felt really overcooked. The broth is just as good as I remember and the chicken kaarage was great. The service was good and the ambiance was chill but the lunch rush was non existent. Aside from the overcooked noodles, everything else was great read more

Great ramen spot in the city! Came here for lunch on a Wednesday with my coworker. It's located super close by the Westfield mall where you can get off the Powell street BART station. Look for signs towards 4th street so you end up on the same side as the restaurant (not 5th). We both got the Akamaru ramen with egg added and the chicken Karaage. Both were 5/5! Karaage was juicy. They allow you to order one sauce for free but if you want another, you pay for it. One mentaiko mayo sauce was enough for us! It was really good esp with the shishito pepper to munch on! Ramen broth was very flavorful and the noodles were the standard straight noodles that still held the texture and broth perfectly. Chashu was pretty tender but not the bestest. I think all everything came out to $60-70 which is pricey for 2 ramen bowls and Karaage but it's probably the SF tax. Interior is very intimate yet spacious. A lot of in office people came here for lunch while me and my coworker are remote girlie's. Overall, this place hit the spot when you need a quick lunch spot during work. I finished my bowl completely w barrly any broth left. I'll definitely come back! read more

Food, service, and ambiance is top notch. Not the best wifi connectivity. Customers are required to scan a barcode to view the menu. With a single bar of connectivity I was unable to download/access the menu. I requested a paper menu or guest wifi. The waiter provided his ipad instead. We ordered the akamaru modern ramen, spicy shrimp tempura roll, and chicken kara-age rice. The ramen and roll were delicious. The chicken dish was overcooked with minimal sauce. A few things that stood out a floor bin was provided to guests with purses, we passed a privacy curtain to enter the dining area, and a water decanter was immediately provided at time of seating. Overall a positively delicious experience. read more

Was in town for a convention last week and this was by far the best meal I had there. Granted I had to go back to my room to change shirts because i looked like Dexter after a fresh kills once I was done slurping those delicious noodles. I forget what my entree was called but it was a delicious spicy ramen bowl with pork. It was amazing. The bao buns were good too, would definitely go back. read more

Ippudo has been on my list for awhile so finally decided to drop in for lunch today. When I arrived, it was quiet and no one was manning the front counter nor the front bar. I waited a bit and even said "Hello? Excuse Me?". No one heard me so I went through the curtains and immediately I saw two servers standing there and they served me quickly. Water was bought out. I ordered the Goma Q cucumbers and the Miso ramen. The cucumbers were not my favorite. Sesame dressing was salty tasting at the red peppers was hot. Too much of a clash. I would try the chicken Kara-age instead if you want to order appetizers. Now the Miso ramen was very good. At $20 a bowl, it is definitely not cheap but the creamy miso broth was warm and inviting. The wavy noodles was perfect and so was the Chasu. It's the first I have seen with fresh ginger layered on top for added flavor. Highly recommend the ramen here. I was also eyeing the Karaka Spicy too. Clean location, beautiful modern interior. If you're looking for a good ramen shop downtown, this is a good place to have lunch! read more

Everything was really delicious! The matcha dessert was a highlight coz it was large! It had a lot of layers - there's beans and ice cream under that cream and matcha and shaved ice. Service was really good and fast. The feel of the place is nice, though it was really hot when we came and if there was air conditioning, we barely felt it; also, prices are steep, but other than those, it was a really good dinner. read more

You'll wait in a Disneyland like line until the hostess asks for your name, she'll call you when it's your turn to be seated.
