I haven't had Ippudo in forever so this was such a treat! I remember coming here maybe 8+ years ago and the lines were out the door and you had to wait for more than hour. For a party of 2, we were able to get bar seating on a weekday night immediately with no wait which was great. - Takoyaki - I never have had a good experience eating takoyaki in the states yet so I really don't know why I keep giving it a chance. Either way, this takoyaki was pretty okay with one small octopus bite in each takoyaki. Otherwise, most of it was some sort of flour mixture. - Akamaru Shinaji - This ramen was fantastic, with the Ippudo flavor I remember. I loved the al dente noodles, and the amount of pickled bamboo shoots they gave you was great too. The chasu was also incredibly tender without a large meaty flavor. The only thing I wish they had in the dish was a soft-boiled egg. Overall great ramen place even though the prices were pretty high, although I feel like this is the standard now, unfortunately. I will say that my friend got the Yuzu Shoyu and the broth was pretty confusing and not great. I would not recommend getting that dish. read more

This is a great place to have a pre-broadway show dinner. Everything in the ramen was fantastic. The mushroom-based broth in the Nirvana Classic is earthy and flavorful, especially because of the garlic oil. The toppings of sprouts, fried enoki, carrots, and tofu complemented the broth well. I got the spicy sauce as well, which added both heat and flavor. The lemon sour drink largely tasted of the soda - it was alright and maybe not worth the price. They have bar seating in addition to tables, both of which filled up quickly around 6:30/7pm. All the servers were helpful and I received my food very quickly. read more

My girlfriend took me to her favorite spot after we left the circus, and I've gotta be real I wasn't impressed . I've had better ramen elsewhere. The presentation was on point and the broth was solid, but the meat tasted like thick deli ham, and the chicken was burnt on the outside yet somehow still undercooked. I couldn't finish it. They didn't offer to replace it, just took it away. The only thing I enjoyed was the pork bun. The service felt rushed probably because it was packed and we waited about 30 minutes just to be seated at the bar, even though we asked for a table. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Overall, the atmosphere felt chaotic and rushed.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Oh well one and done for me. read more

Came here while I was visiting nyc. Had the yuzu ramen. It was delicious. Soup base was so flavourful, the only thing I wish was that there were more noodles. The price isn't cheap either(paid about $27 with tip) but it's definitely worth it. Service was quick. Probably one of the best ramen I've ever had! Definitely recommend :) read more

I got the akamaru shinaji ramen. First off, the ramen was fantastic-- the broth was perfectly rich, the noodles were the right amount of chewy, and the pork was cooked and seasoned well. I'm definitely coming back to try their other ramen and pork bun menus. The service was very prompt and fast and the ambiance was casual yet modern.

The BEST ramen in the US! We had a reservation at 3pm on a Tuesday, it was pretty empty probably because we came at an off time. I've heard it gets pretty busy and the wait is usually long with a reservation, so definitely recommend making one! We ordered their karaage, pork bun, and karaka spicy ramen. Their chicken karaage is one of the best! It's super crispy and I like how I can taste some lemon in it, it made it that much better. Pork bun was delicious, it was a good cut of meat in the middle and not fatty. Their karaka spicy ramen was so unique because of their niku miso bolognese. Broth was rich and complex, and just bursting with flavor! Noodles were thin and not overcooked also. Service was fast and our waiter was super friendly. I can't wait to come back! read more

The place is cute but I found that the quality of the ramen was not as good as other ramen place. Very expensive ramen I must say, not a lot topping (such as egg, seaweed, etc) in the ramen. They made you pay for the topping, even when I asked for spicy sauce, I had to pay extra for it. And the taste... was bland. read more

I'm no expert on spicy noodles, but I am an expert on great food! Within walking distance to Times Square, it was a perfect place to try after a cold ( and I mean COLD!) jaunt in the city. Definitely get a reservation. The server is a great spice guide so take advantage of their expertise.We opted for spicy miso and spicy karaka with extra heat and corn. I felt warm and satisfied down to my toes. I'd love that feeling every day! Really a new experience for me! Not my last, they had some great sounding appetizers as well. read more

This has got to be my favorite ramen in the city. I love the feel of the restaurant, it's cozy but not too small. The staff is always phenomenal, they're not obtrusive, but are there exactly when you need them. But the food...wow, it's amazing. As always we over ordered. We started with the Shishito Peppers, Pork Bun, Edamame, and the Oishii Kara-age (Soy marinated boneless fried chicken with dill and caramellized lemon). The shishitos were flash fried and served with a seasonal salt (which had an acidic bite to it...it was killer). The same salt was served with the edamame (that our five year old couldn't get enough of). The pork bun was decent but not the best I've had (the pork was very thin). The chicken...that was the best of them all, perfectly brined and fried and the lemon squeezed over top took it to the next level. Onto the ramen. Our son has never had it before and as much as we try to expose him to different cuisines, he can be picky. We ordered him the Shiromaru Motoaji, which is a pork tonkotsu with thin noodles, we did order all the toppings on the side. He loved it, and who wouldn't, the tonkotsu is insanely good. My wife went for the Akamaru Shinaj with a Tamago (their marinated soft boiled eggs). The umami paste they put in this one takes their already phenomenal tonkotsu and put's it on the "best meal I've ever eaten list". Since they were ordering the tonkotsu I went for miso on this trip; the Spicy Miso to be exact. It was good (although the spicy tonkotsu is still my favorite). The thick noodles gave the perfect amount of bite and helped make the broth feel more full. I'm not a fan of corn in ramen, but maybe that's because every else I've had it doesn't do it right. The sweetness of the corn was perfect for rounding out the dish. Oh yeah, and I had to do a tamago on mine too. This meal, paired with a carafe of Sake was one of the best I've had in a long time. And the fact that I saw my five year old eat his first bowl of real ramen; this will be something I remember for a long time. Go to Ippudo, order a lot of food, have some drinks and make some memories. read more

I got the Nirvana classic ramen bowl. My sister got the Nirvana karaka. The only difference was that the karaka is served with a paste on the side. We both LOVED the bowls. We're from California and have tried MANY ramen bowls and this one tops them all! There's something about the broth! I'm on a low carb diet so I ordered mine without the noddles (I know, crazy), but I ordered the treasure toppings make up for it and it was such a good choice! I was completely full off this single bowl! It's a small intimate restaurant. There was no wait. Food arrived quickly. Waitress was always prompt and refilled out waters often. read more

Ippudo has been one of my favorites since it was only the east village location and they didn't take reservations. It has changed a lot, BUT what doesn't seem to change is the taste & quality of their dishes as well as their stellar service. The ambiance of this location is a lot more open and airy than the original. The original has a very authentic Japan ramen shop feel. But it's still a great spot! I love that they have this westside location! So convenient for us westsiders & Jersians. Now I think it's time for them to open a location in Hoboken or JC or even Weehawken, down by port imperial. read more

We also got the seasonal cocktail which was perfection during Christmas time. We walked in after our Broadway show, waited about 20 minutes, and had fantastic service. Felt like being back in Japan.

Finally, trying the ramen and karaage at Ippudo Westside. I left nothing behind in the bowl of Akamaru Shinaji. The broth is slightly thick, almost creamy. The noodles were al dente, if I may use this term with Japanese food. The red sauce adds another element to the bowl. That pork belly is unctuous. Now the karaage, I had to use my hands/fingers. It's appropriate when eating fried chicken, right? It was 2 chicken thighs cut in half thus 4 pieces. Perfectly cooked. The seasoning and coating is delicious. The restroom is beyond the black saloon doors. 3 restrooms: unisex, woman and man. The staff were patient with me and answered all my questions - I asked 3 or 4 questions regarding food and popular menu items. Everyone was happy and friendly with each other. read more

Don't go to this Ippudo. Ramen didnt even taste half as good as the Ichiran 2 streets down. Soup was too salty and less rich than Ichiran. Also the portion was so little, its impossible to get full here unless u a literal child. I knew it was a red flag when I came in and asked if I wanted sparkling or water, then whether I wanted that water from a bottle or tap. Bro just give me water! Also $22 for the Akamaru ramen is a scam. That didnt taste better than $14. Ichiran also does $22, but at least I get a unique experience and it was delicious. BTW Ichiran does no tipping, this place does. Wouldn't be too bad if I didnt have the server watching over my shoulder when I'm giving tip. I didnt give a lot, but I thought I gave what was appropriate for the level of service. I mean I just came in got seated, had to scan a block for a qr code, and have my water refilled. Basic as basic. I would of given them a 3/5 stars, but then my server's coworker pushed him out of the way took the contactless payment machine and asked us for more money. I would of took back my tip if I could after that. Just don't go here for mid ass ramen, unless u got no taste or like getting scammed of money. read more

I know it's been a while since my last visit, but the menu of the dishes has completely changed. I returned today for lunch and was disappointed by what was available. We still had an ok meal, but it's nothing compared to the quality we used to experience. Both the pork and shrimp buns were solid. The spare ribs were mediocre, the karage rice boring and the pork belly rice just ok. If this is the new Ippudo, I have little reason to go back. read more

We had a great time! The menu had enough variety to please a lot of people. The service was very fast, and pleasant. The atmosphere is wonderful but the focus sure is on the food. We loved the broccolini starter, and the spicy gyoza. The boneless chicken appetizer was delicious but more difficult to eat since it wasnt bite sized or shareable. The spicy tuna roll looked delicious, although my friend who ordered it said it might even be too spicy. The star of the show was obviously the ramen. Many got the miso ramen, it sure is a crowd pleaser! I wish we had an opportunity to try more of the menu, but ramen sure is filling. You may want to call ahead if you have ave a larger group, or expect to wait. It seems better for parties of two for faster sit down service. read more

The food and the service was just amazing!! The server was super attentive and refilled our water cups every time it reached half level. Cocktail was amazing .. The portion sizes of the appetizers are good enough to share between 2 people. Depending on how many you get, you may not have space for your ramen.

I had been wanting to try Ippudo because of the hype over the years. For a Saturday lunch, the restaurant was almost full and was very loud. The service was nothing special. Unfortunately, my experience did not live up to the hype or price. I got the Karaka Spicy ramen which was good, but not worth the $20+ before adding on an egg. The marinated egg was also not that flavorful. I also tried the Akamaru Shinaji which was the most disappointing. I don't know if this was missing any salty components but it just completely lacked depth and flavor. Maybe this was an off day but it seems like there are other places in NYC with better ramen experiences. read more

This is another location of famous chain of Ramen restaurants. Allegedly it is considered the best Ramen in the city. They have same variety of Ramens and appetizers in all locations and everything is delicious. I have ordered their special Ramen with extra pork and wasn't able to finish it as the portions very generous. One thing you should know these restaurants do not allow you to make a reservation, they serve on first come first serve principle. And due to their popularity there is always a line.

My favorite ramen spot when I'm in New York. They have great cocktails, apps and ramen. Service is fast and friendly. Good atmosphere. There's often a wait on the weekend. The last time I was here, I came in on a Sunday for an early dinner after a matinee Broadway show and was seated right away for two. Started with the cucumbers. I'm generally not a fan of cucumbers but I will eat cucumbers like this all day, every day. For a cocktail, I had the plum win cocktail, which I knew would be sweet. It was quite tasty but if you don't like sweet then you might think it's overly sweet. I usually order the spicy ramen but changed it up this time and ordered the Akamaru ramen. Delicious. I slurped up the noodles so fast. Next time, will have to try the buns. My go to ramen spot, will definitely be back. read more

A rare heavy-handed criticism from a ramen lover. 3/5 (after 3 visits) - If you're considering it, you should try Totto first. Now, onto my experience: I had the Miso Ramen: Noodles tasted like spaghetti - I don't encounter this often but it was not fun. I felt the broth had a distinct 'western taste' - didn't finish it and didn't taste much miso either. It was fairly oily too, and basically just felt like someone took spaghetti and more or less made ramen with it. The chashu was forgettable and could have been seared or something to add some texture to an otherwise rather boring dish that felt like a chore to finish. My friend had a spicy bowl, which I think was much better broth wise and maybe the wavy noodles are actually better than the thin straight noodles that I've come to love from other joints that seem much more authentic and intense. Aesthetically, Ippudo looks great and is always a treat to sit inside of, love the decor and it generally is a nice atmosphere, but honestly I wouldn't go again. This is actually my third time visiting an Ippudo in NYC and it has let me down time and time again. I think it just not my style - and I don't think I can recommend it in good faith. read more

I got the akamaru ramen and didn't think anything much of it. Props to the kitchen for churning this out almost immediately after we ordered. We were sat and done with our meal in 30 min. But it wasn't memorable and there's better ramen out there. Meanwhile, even just looking at the picture of the same ramen bowl I ordered in Ippudo's SF location, they look completely different, and I much preferred the SF restaurant. read more

This place is pretty good. The broth is really really good - perfect blend of tanginess, a tiny bit spicy, bone broth/pork flavour. Everything else is good too - great noodle consistency, good pork. But the broth is really something else. Also tried the fish and chicken broth ramen. The ramen itself is just OK but broth is really interesting. Oh and the truffle potato fingerlings are the BOMB. So so so good. Welll come back for those. A gem. read more

This place keeps showing up on delivery sites but the order never goes through. I assumed they went out of business and the apps didn't update, but it's been two months now. What is going on?

I've seen Uber eats pick up there and just did an order from their website direct which was easy to use. Good luck!

If I get takeout ramen, should I order cooked or uncooked noodles?

It depends. Uncooked is the way to go if you have the time and follow directions per any big time ramen channel on YouTube. But cooked comes as very good as well.

Is the restaurant opened for delivery?

It is unfortunately closed temporarily until the shut down lifts. Prior to that, they never delivered and you couldn't even take away your leftovers.

Any gluten free options? Trying to fund gluten free ramen for trip coming up.

Shojin (gluten free uses a tofu noodle) is usually available - I would call ahead to confirm in case they ran out of the ingredients.

Will they close from 3 to 5pm or I can visit during business hours as it is listed on yelp?

During the weekend, they are open all day without closing mid day. During the weekday, they do close and reopen at 5pm

Ippudo turned up in my search of gluten-free ramen in NYC, but I can't tell from their website if they actually offer GF noodles. Do you know if they have a GF option? And what are the GF noodles made of? Many thanks.

Yes. Shojin is the only ramen dish with GF noodles made of tofu. When we dined there, they said you cannot substitute ramen in other dishes with GF noodles. Max has food intolerances so we write yelp reviews with that in mind. If you want more info… Read more

The spot is special (literally, you head below street level to get in), which somehow makes it feel even more like a NYC secret you're in on. Small, cozy, dimly lit in the best way, and staffed by people who are genuinely warm. We started with the tempura sweet potato fries and dumplings, both of which disappeared off the table fast. I went with the shio truffle ramen homemade chicken broth, homemade chicken chashu, half ajitama, bean sprouts, menma, shiso, truffle paste, and nori and it was easily one of the best bowls I've had in the city. The truffle paste takes it from "great ramen" to "why haven't I been here sooner," and the homemade chashu is so tender it practically melts before you even chew. Five bowls at the table, five very happy campers. Bonus: it's a quick stroll from Central Park, so pair a bowl here with an afternoon in the park for a genuinely great NYC day.

The cutlet is crispy, and the curry broth is rich, flavorful, and delicious. The service is also great. The servers are always attentive, ready to answer questions, and quick to refill waters whenever they notice your glass getting low. Food comes out quickly as well. Overall, Kin Ramen is a spot I find myself coming back to again and again whenever I'm craving a good bowl of ramen.

I was hoping for a bit more shishito (I only got one!), but overall it was comforting and well balanced. It's a very small space with a cozy vibe, which adds to the charm.

I ordered the Paitan Ramen Deluxe, and it genuinely lives up to the name. The broth is silky, rich, and comforting without being overly salty which is exactly what a proper paitan should be. The bowl comes loaded: tender shredded chicken, seared chashu, marinated soft-boiled eggs, fresh scallions, bamboo shoots, and a sheet of nori that ties everything together. Every topping tastes intentional, not just filler. The texture balance is what really stands out fatty chashu that melts, shredded chicken with real flavor, and noodles that hold up beautifully in the broth. You can taste the care in the soup base; it has depth, not just heat or salt. If you loved Totto Ramen back in the day, this feels like its modern successor same spirit, new precision. Toribro isn't trying to reinvent ramen which they're just doing it right. And in NYC, that alone makes it worth a visit.
