Ippudo Westside

If you are vegetarian this place is a waste of time. Their vegetarian ramen is nothing more than cheap noodles in oil water. There was no flavor and the vegetables were too few and too thinly sliced that it had no substance. They also charge more for the vegeterian option than the others so it is a waste of time. Also, be prepared for a wait. The first time we left because it was a 90 minute wait and the second time it was 25 mins so we stayed. But it was a disappointment. The eggplant bun is good.

We were starving after an hour wait and so we ordered a bunch of food.
The shrimp & crab croquettes were amazing. The chicken buns were good.
The ramen was fine — nothing special. We were both not even halfway done with our bowls and couldn’t eat anymore. We told our server we wanted to take them home and were then informed that they «didn’t do that». You can’t take your food home with you. They were each $ 20 bowls of ramen. I paid for that food and I want to take it home. I think this is a completely obnoxious rule and I should have been informed before I ordered, so I didn’t order so much. Besides this, the service was distant, at best. We were never offered drinks and the server never once came to check in on us.
There are many other ramen shops that I will go to before this one.

Came here on a Tuesday night, alone (for the first time) because I was on a business trip and was craving for their ramen. Stopped by to see how long the wait was. A table for one still need a 30 minutes wait… I was so hungry but I waited anyway. Surprisingly they called my name within 15 – 20 mins! That’s a plus.
Here comes the food– I literally want to order everything on the menu. Yeah… My eyes are always bigger than my stomach when I’m hungry. So I ordered the pork belly bun, best choice ever. The pork was sooo juicy and delicious and it has a little kick of spiciness. Then I ordered their infamous ramen– Shiromaru Hakata Ramen (classic) with soft boiled eggs. The broth tasted sooo good, perfect amount of sodium, and the noodles was great! Not too soft or too hard. I devoured both dishes in one setting. Yup I was that hungry! After I killed both dishes, I was super full. But I saw the girl next to me ordered the green tea ice cream with mochi (s) and it made me want to order one too.
Few mins later, the waiter approached me with a dessert menu. The green tea ice cream was not on the menu :(The waiter said they ran out of green tea ice cream for the night. I was so bummed!
I would give you guys a 5 stars but without my favorite dessert, you deserve a 4! So make sure to replenish the green tea ice cream for other customers.
Overall, I had a great experience at Ippudo. Service is always on point– always make you feel at home and friendly. This is my second time here and I will definitely come back when I’m in town again. By far my favorite ramen in NYC :)

During my business trip in NYC my coworker was determined to get to this place and try their ramen. She said it was the best in New York and believe me, the hype is real. Like all good things in life it takes patience, but it’s worth the wait.
We went during lunch time on a Sunday and waited about 30 mins which wasn’t bad really for how small it is. I love the atmosphere, very quaint and traditional. All of the employees there were very nice and helpful with recommendations.
I choose to go with the Akamaru Modern ramen. The broth was my favorite part and I also added egg to it. Highly recommend! My coworker went with the spicy ramen and mentioned it was very good as well.
If I’m ever back in the big city I’ll be back for this place.

There is no disputing the Ippudo is great — it is apparent by the hoards of people that willingly subject themselves to the torture of waiting for a coveted spot all the while having the delicious scent of ramen broth waft through the air, causing stomachs to continually rumble all the while waiting for relief. Not to mention, overwhelming support from the Unilocal community! Ippudo is one of those NYC staples, at some point it makes an appearance on someone’s NYC bucket list. While some say argue its touristy, who cares — tourists need to eat too!
I finally convinced the mister to come with me one day after work. Ippudo is located on a quiet street just outside of the crazy of Hells Kitchen/​Times Square, at quick glance you would think its super low key — ha! Take a step inside and madness ensues. I will say I was a bit intimidated seeing the crowd waiting ahead of me — I was determined.
We checked in and was told by the hostess that it would be anywhere between 30 minutes to an hour wait. He took down my number and as I walked over to claim a coveted spot by the window I received a text from them telling me I was on the list. Fast forward about 45 minutes, we received a text telling us we were next up.
The restaurant is a lot larger than it appears, there are two rooms the first has a larger communal table and the second has individual tables. Glancing over the menu you can see that it is pretty simple, not overwhelmed with too many choices they have their apps, a few dishes and 5 ramen dishes to choose from. You can also customize your ramen with add ons (think soft boiled egg, bamboo, greens, etc).
We started off our meal with the infamous Hirata poor buns — thick slice of pork belly, seasoned deliciously, coated in sauce and mayo. My first bite was a bit mayoey but as long as you make sure the sauces are evenly spread it is absolutely delicious. I had low expectations because let’s face it — its a pork bun how special could it be. Boy was I wrong, it was so flavorful and delicate, the buns were even steamed to perfection and everything just melted in your mouth — I was a bit sad when I finished. We also got an order Hirata chicken wings. The three long wings were accompanied with cabbage that has been drizzled with a vinaigrette. The wings were tangy and flavorful with a slight kick. I wish there were more.
Of course the star of the meal was the ramen itself. I chose the Akamaru modern with an additional side of seasoned bamboo. The broth was fragrant with a fatty undertone, but the miso paste made the meal. The ramen noodles themselves were very unique, you could taste the freshness in them and unlike cheap ramen it didn’t leave you feeling oily and heavy. The dish had pieces of pork chashu but honestly I am not a huge meat fan so I pretty much ate through that part without even thinking about it — the seasoned bamboo was just great. They were thick slices and had great flavor to them. Needless to say, my mouth is watering as I write this review.
Last but not least I need to spend time talking about the service here — it was perhaps the best that I have experienced in a long time. At one point during the meal, one of my chopsticks made a daring escape and somehow ended up on the floor. Even before I had a chance to flag down our server, another passing by employee had already set a new pair on the table for me. Our server was pretty great too, he explained the menu to us and offered us his recommendations and gave us time to look things over. When we were ready to order, we looked around and couldn’t remember which one he was and we were quickly approached by another server who offered to take our order since it was a bit busy and our server was busy.
Good people, good food, I can see now why some people are willing to wait.

The first time I tried Ippudo, I wanted to see if it lived up to its reputation. I came to this location for lunch on my own and was seated at a huge communal table among other single diners immediately. The venue was meticulously clean and bright.
I ordered:
Shiromaru Hakata Classic ($ 15) — «Tonkotsu» (pork) broth with signature Dashi, thin noodles with pork chashu, kikurage mushrooms, menma, pickled ginger, scallions:
It was delicious. The broth was the highlight of the meal. I prefer thick noodles, but their thin noodles did the job. Ippudo’s ramen is more expensive than most. Each bowl starts at $ 15 before toppings and adding an egg costs $ 2.
The service is wonderful. The staff worked quickly and efficiently. Everyone was friendly. The restaurant itself is pretty big, albeit a little crowded getting in and out.

My first time here in New York and I heard so much about this place. I love ramen, so it was a must try while I was in the city.
The wait for me by myself was about 15mins. I didn’t mind waiting. Hostess was nice and friendly. I took a seat at the noodle counter:-)
Server was really friendly and informative. I ordered the tori kara-​age (chicken) and the Shiromaru Hakata Classic ramen. Both were delicious:-) I added an extra egg to my ramen, which made it better:-)
Will come back when I’m back in NYC for sure!

Am I missing something? I may not be a ramen fanatic, but I sure can tell when ramen is great and when it’s just average. Ippudo falls into the latter.
A friend wanted to come here and having always wondered about the Ippudo phenomena around the world, I thought the higher-​end price tag would probably justify its quality – and popularity, I guess. I went with the Akamaru Modern; paying $ 15 for a ramen has never been ideal, but I can’t say I didn’t expect it at such a place. I was slightly disappointed when I saw how small the portion was in the bowl. The noodle soup probably filled up to a little more than half of the bowl, so the portion of the noodles wasn’t much to begin with, and the slices of the pork were much smaller than expected. My friends also complained about the portions of the food – you will certainly not get the most bang for your buck here, if that’s what you’re looking for.
The scoop of the soup base carries the reputation of Ippudo’s fame. It wasn’t terrible – in fact, it was pretty tasty and flavorful – but I felt cheated for the small amount for what seems like pretty oily broth. I couldn’t even tell you which was much better if you blindfolded me eating Ippudo ramen and ramen from any given random ramen shop. The hype and the massive rave about this place is kind of ridiculous and I’m not understanding how it supposedly stands above the rest. The only nice thing about this place is the location and the nice facilities that almost resembles the Shangri-​La.

Unilocal is so helpful. Before we left for vacay, I searched for the best ramen shops in NYC. This is what brought us here. Plus this west side location is closer to our hotel than the other location with over 6,000 reviews. Yowza that’s amazing!
ATMOSPHERE:
The sidewalk signage is TINY, and the logo on the building was unrecognizable, to me anyway. And it didn’t help that west 51^st had heavy construction and barricades everywhere. But I must say that the Unilocal map is very accurate. They’re located on the north side of 51^st.
Once inside you’re greeted by modern design, and a shout of welcome in Japanese. There’s a fairly large stand up only bar at the front, traditional counter seating, and another room with tables.
RESERVATIONS:
We walked in at 2:30pm on a Wednesday and we got seated immediately. I’m not sure if they get super busy or not.
MENU (LUNCH:)
6 apps of mixed cuisine, 1 salad, and 5 different ramen flavors, and additional toppings.
FOOD:
Karaka-​men Ramen — The soup base is the milky colored tonkotsu, but it comes with garlic oil, and a spoonful of spice that when mixed together, turns the broth a fire orange color. Spice level is a 2 on a 5 scale and to me adds tons of flavor, which was a creamy garlicky tan tan-​like taste minus the sesame. I opted for the nitamago, which is a semi-​hard boiled egg cut in half. The yolk wasn’t runny but a little soft in the center which was delish. There were a few green onions, thin slices of kikurage mushrooms, very little cabbage, and tender char siu. The noodles were thin like angel hair and were cooked nicely, though I prefer a thicker noodle. The temperature was hot but not searing, unfortunately.
SERVICE:
Our male server was friendly, helpful, knowledgable and professional.
OVERALL:
Super tasty broth, good service, clean place (with a grade A certificate proudly displayed in the window,) and decent pricing.

I am not a big fan of Japanese Food. I have not eaten it much and also it doesn’t have much Vegan Options. But since Ippudo had such high ratings on Unilocal with a long wait of people mentioned in the reviews, I definitely wanted to give it a try.
They have a system in place for everything– wait, order, food n service. We arrived on a Friday evening around 7:30pm. We asked for a table and we were told that there is a wait of minimum 20 mins to a maximum of 2 hours. I was prepared for it especially after following though the Unilocal reviews. The staff took our details (Name n phone no.) and we decided to go for a coffee at a nearby StarBucks meanwhile.
As they put our name on their guests lists we got a message from them confirming our reservation. The message also had a line that read– ‘Check back in upon receipt of second message.’ This simply meant that they will send us a second message when they will have a table ready for us.
Anyways after a good wait of 1 hour 20 mins (n a huge cup of Cappuccino) we got that second message saying– ‘Your table will be ready soon.’ N me and my husband started running towards the Restro as we didn’t want to miss our chance after a long wait!
Nways we reached after 5 – 8 mins of that message and got our table ready. The staff was quick to take our orders and even suggested a good Sake (As we are not a huge fan of Sake!).
Being a Vegetarian I had just one Choice in Ramen Bowl which was Shojin Ramen (noodles with veggies and a light broth) so I had to go for that. While my husband ordered a Ramen named as Karaka Men which is chicken n noodles in a pork broth (It is Spicy!). For appetizers we ordered the signature Hirata buns in Vegetarian option (Almost everybody was eating Hirata buns that night!).
After we ordered the food, we looked around n the restaurant was packed with people even though it had quite a Large seating area. Our Sake arrived soon after we ordered and I must say it was one of the best Sake’s I have ever had. It was light, lil sweet and just at the right temp.
Then followed the Pretty Hirata Buns. They were real soft n the glaze on those veggie patties was a mix of sweet n spicy. There are couple of other vegetarian options too in the special appetizers section including Tofu, Corn n Eggplant.
The Ramen bowl was huge and had a couple of layers. The staff even explains about all the layers while serving the dish. My Ramen bowl was quite nice actually. The broth was light n sweet. While my husband loved his Ramen bowl. It had some bold spices in it.
Please note that the Vegetarian Ramen bowl has less quantity then the non– vegetarian versions. So there also an option of adding noodles to your Ramen bowl for 2 bucks provided you should have some soup left in there.
The food was fresh, light and was really served with too much passion. I loved eating here and will love to try their other location as well.

I come to Ippudo Westside every time I get the chance to visit New York, and they’ve never disappointed me.
Currently, the special seasonal ramen is called Drum Heart Ramen, and it was so good my first thoughts about it couldn’t even be said in complete sentences:
Unctuous. Savory. Pork belly like velvet. Spicy. Sizzling sesame oil. Fragrant. Black sesame in the broth. Healthy portion of cilantro. Brightness. Poached egg. Rich.
This. Was. So. Good!
From the description of the ingredients to the presentation, this was everything that I needed on a cold day and more. The spicy oil sizzling as it was poured on top of an already beautiful bowl of ramen was a nice touch. The sesame oil smelled so good.
Two thumbs up. See pics.

OMG so good. Yes, there is a long wait, but totally worth it as once you get in, they get you in and out quickly.
We left our name with the hostess, went out for a drink at the House of Brews, and came back.
Usually ramen is hard for a vegetarian like myself, as most shops have limited to no options. Ippudo does a great job with their vast selection: Shojin Ramen, vegetable hirata buns, street-​style corn on the cob, and eggplant/​cauliflower tempura.

In case your needed further confirmation — Ippudo has some of the best ramen in NYC. I can’t speak to its authenticity, but I can tell you it tastes goooood.
My boyfriend and I came a little after 5, and there was still a 30 — 45 min wait for us. COME EARLY, or be prepared to wait. It’s worth it, though.
I’m a fan of the Akamaru Modern — the broth is savory and it comes with a generous serving of noodles. (You can order additional noodles for $ 2) The base price isn’t so bad — until you count in all the add-on’s: egg, beef, extra noodles, etc.
We also ordered pork buns and croquettes. The pork buns were delicious, but gone before I knew it. The buns were perfectly soft and pillowy, and the pork was flavorful and tender. We ordered crab and shrimp croquettes, which I loved. Creamy, warm balls of crab and shrimp served with some spicy mayo, mmmmm!
Though this is only the second time I’ve been to an Ippudo, I can confidently say that their venues and service are worth the 5-​star ratings. The venue is clean, modern and somehow relaxing despite the hordes of people waiting to be seated. The servers were attentive — our food came quickly, and dishes were cleared off in a timely manner.
Of course Ippudo has great ramen. That’s a no-​brainer. I probably wouldn’t come here that often (partly due to that wait) but it is nice to treat yo self once in a while.

Ippudo is good. Trust.
Atmosphere: I usually come here on the weekends right when it opens so as to avoid the wait. By some grace of God other times I’ve come I’ve never had to wait, like on a Saturday at 4:45. But shortly after that you can imagine yourself waiting anywhere between 1 – 2 hours to get a seat and get your hands on some yummy ramen.
Food: Always start out with the pork buns. They are full of flavor. The crunch from the lettuce adds a nice touch, although they do go too crazy on the mayo — could do without. $ 9 for two buns. My staple ramen is the akamaru modern with egg. I can’t even describe to you how delicious the broth is. It is out of this world and so good that I often finish it before I finish my noodles, which is super weird. The noodles are perfectly cooked and the pork slices are tender. It’s just a perfect harmony of a bowl, I tell you. However it’s almost upwards of $ 20, so savor it while you have it.
Service: Always friendly and very fast.

The pork buns and akamaru modern with $ 2 boiled egg are my favorite up here. The karakamen is good also on the spicy side but everyone knows this place has really good ramen which is why there is always a long line outside. It’s about a 45 min wait if you don’t come early. I always order akamaru every time I come here but there is this one guy who is pretty pushy when it comes to ordering. He seems like he hates his job. Had a ponytail, seems diva, and has a «just order already attitude». This other waitress was a lot nicer but somehow we kept getting stuck with this guy. We kinda knew what we wanted but still, if you could avoid this dude, avoid him. He’s salty about his job and his crankiness is contagious.
Also, be careful when you come in. I hit my head on the brick wall on the way in. (there is 2 doors before you get inside). And also as much as I like this place, nippori down the street is just as good and there’s isn’t a line at all. The staff is better and the food is really good. If there’s no line here, I’ll go for the ramen again, but if there is and you’ve already been here, go to nippori

/TL;DR Stellar ramen. In fact, everything was awesome.
/​ATMOSPHERE After a ludicrous wait, standing/​sitting on what could only pass as a seat for a stick figure drawing, we finally got seated. Having made it through the rain to get here, I was so looking for to this.
I got sat at the head end of the noodle bar. Amazing view from this spot.
/​FOOD Settled in with the Akamaru Modern. Rich, flavorful layers of pork taste in every bite. I’ve only had ramen better one place else in my life.
The Ebi Mayo shouldn’t be ignored. It’s a great appetizer to start with. The Ippudo salad can be ordered with a side of avocado and tofu. It’s excellent and would recommend having it as part of your meal.
/​SERVICE No reservations. Crazy lines. You can hold over at the very, very cool sake bar in the front until your table is ready. That’s about the only saving grace. The hosts will yell in Japanese in the most horrific Japanese accent possible. You get to enjoy that as part of your experience. Now you won’t be able to ignore it. You’re welcome.
HOW TO READ MY REVIEWS:
1 Star — Does not approach edible. Enter at your own risk.
2 Stars — If I’m in the area, I’d pick something else.
3 Stars — I would stop by if I happen to be in the area.
4 Stars — I would pick this place out of other places nearby.
5 Stars — I would go out of my way to dine here.

Headline: Legit Japanese Ramen!
I can’t use my normal Newsflash of real Japanese food made by real Japanese people as I couldn’t really see the kitchen too well from where I was sitting. We came here about 1:00pm and it was about a 20 minute wait (quoted 30 min) for a spot.
Living in Japan has made me somewhat of a ramen snob. Spending most of my time in northern Japan and in they Kyushu regions, naturally I became bias to the regions versions of ramen.
From the north: Sapporo Ramen
From the South: Kumamoto Ramen A.K.A. Tonkostu.
The Bao craze if full up in NYC as this place serves them up too. This is obviously not a traditional Japanese dish so I was perplexed to see it on the menu. It seemed like every place on the map that we ate had them. Everyone around us ordered them so we figured we we’d follow the herd and get an order too. I thought that they were the best pork buns out of the 3 places we ordered them (Bao House & Momofuku being the other 2). The meat was not overly fatty and had just the right (like 75% meat 25% fat).
I ordered the Karakara-​men and the lady ordered the Shiromaru (white circle) Hakata classic.
The karakara-​men (plus Kaedama) was excellent. The bowl was very well balanced. The spice did not take away from the base tonkotsu broth and the garlic oil was a nice touch to liven it up.
For ramen purists the Hakata classic is wonderful rendition of the Hakata style of ramen. It’s a simple yet very rich tonkotsu broth on par with what you would get at Ichiryu in the motherland, The woman complained that it was too simple and blasé’ however that is the beauty of the ramen; it’s supposed to be simple.
The ramen were very distinct but I enjoyed both of them equally. I would suggest the Akamaru or Karakara for western palates as the Hakata Classic may be too simple tasting BUT if you want to know what REAL ramen in Japan taste like w/​o going there then give it a try.
It is a bit spendy at around $ 13 a bowl but to curtail your hunger and maximize value, be sure to Kaedama it for $ 2 more. Kaedama is an extra order of noodles once you cleared the ones in your bowl. You”ll thank me later.
P. S. A little gee-​whiz information for everyone:
Akamaru translated in Japanese simply means; red circle. indicative of the dollop of red miso served in the Akamaru-​modern and Karakara-​men.
I am a fan of this place. Hopefully they bring one to the West Coast.
Eat with confidence.
–P

First, you start off with a bowl of endama.
Given my dietary restrictions due to my religious observance, I found it a bit challenging to select dishes from the menu. The Ramen options were all served in pork broth. There was a singular vegan ramen dish. The specialty appetizers were a mix of vegetarian-​friendly, seafood, and pork dishes. In order to satisfy my hunger, I knew there was no way that I could avoid selecting a meal without meat. Veggies just wouldn’t do. As my starters, I ordered the Hirata buns (2 pieces of steamed buns filled with chicken served with Ippudo original spicy buns sauce and mayo. Additionally, I ordered the Hirata chicken wings (3 pieces of fried chicken wings glazed with Ippudo’s special black pepper sauce. The costs were $ 9 and $ 7, respectively.
The bun was definitely different in terms of texture. The flavors and spices for both dishes were definitely there — dancing around on my palette. Overall, very affordable and beautiful restaurant. Our server was knowledgeable about the menu and helped us navigate to make the best decision for late dinner.
Tip: There can be a wait if you dine after the theater shows.

The fact I don’t even like ramen and still gave it 5 stars means it is just THAT amazing!!!
The Ippudo in East Village was originally on my itinerary, but the thought of the long wait kind of discouraged me. I was around times square when my buddy wanted some hot soup to soothe his sore throat. I hurried and Unilocaled somewhere close by and found this Ippudo around the corner so we decided to head over. When we arrived there were already people waiting outside and our estimated wait time for two at 6:30PM on a Friday night was about 1 – 1.5 hours. We were lucky to snatch a seat inside by the bar while we waited. I ordered a glass of chardonnay to kill time. About half an hour later I got a text our table was going to be ready soon and to check in with the host. After checking in we got seated right away! Our total wait time was actually 30 mins. Who wouldn’t like a longer estimated time, but gets seated way sooner right?
After we got seated in the main dining room our waitress came by and asked what we would like to drink. Below is what we ordered.
Appetizer — Ebi Mayo. * This came with 4 tempura black tiger shrimps on a bed of mixed greens drizzled over with spicy mayo and a stick of fried ramen noodles. * This dish was amazing! The shrimps came out perfectly battered, moist and just straight delicious!
My ramen — Karaka Ramen. THIS RAMEN IS IT! I read some reviews that said the spicy paste added in the ramen made it too salty, but it was just perfect for me. The noodles were perfectly textured, not soggy or too hard. The soup was a perfect soothing rich creamy pork base with a kick because of the spicy paste. I also added eggs in my soup and the yolk was so perfect. It wasn’t runny where it spilled out into the soup, it was just perfect medium rare eggs haha.
Second ramen — Shiromaru Hakata Classic. This is for everyone that doesn’t like spicy and just wants a plain ol classic ramen taste. Everything in it is just as amazing as my Karaka!
I wish they had this in the West Coast. Like I said I don’t even like Ramen because I’m more of a phở girl, but seriously living in Los Angeles where we have a Little Tokyo aka Japanese Village Town, none of those ramen shops can even compare! I’m so happy I got to try this place. The service was superB too! Definitely coming back when I’m in New York again.

Ippudo Westside

Five Stars
Chloe was back in town for a day or two. So we had to eat some delicious noodles and drink some sake. The estimated wait time was 1.5 to 2 hours but luckily they texted us only 45 minutes later. We were seated at the communal high top area. We ate those sexy pork buns. These soft rice flour buns were puffy clouds that held the sweet, salty, fatty pork belly. We ordered a bottle of the Nigori Sake called Summer Snow (Natsu No Yoki) which is a pretty name for a beautiful drink ($ 46). They don’t much of a bottle selection. I am not to partial to sweet or milky but this was surprisingly pleasant. This unfiltered Nigori Ginjo was mildly sweet with a robust rice taste and notes of white peaches and cream. The noodles came out fast.
I had the Shiromaru Hakata Classic ($ 15) with a soft Egg ($ 2). It was perfect and pretty much gone instantaneously. The Tonkotsu broth was creamy, salty, and unctuous from their use of pork bones and Marrow. The house made thin noodles were round, chewy, and carb-​tastic. The pork loin chashu was less fatty than expected but well cooked. The toppings were balanced and rounded out the flavor. The most notable were the house cured menma (bamboo shoots).
The service was great from start to finish.

En la Ramenmanía que me ataca desde hace como año y medio llegamos a este lugar recomendado por varias personas; parece que el local está de modita y no decepcionó: desde que entras lo haces a un bar de sake que en las tardes agarra inercia con el amplio espectro de comensales que llegan. Obvio tienes que esperar pues siempre está lleno y cuando te pasan te anuncian a gritos desde la puerta y luego entonces pasas y todos gritan de regreso y me gustaría saber que gritan pero no pregunto para no exponer mi ignorancia en japonés y sólo grito: Bansai!
Mi recomendación es como siempre sentarse en la barra y ver como preparan todo desde ahí. Dicen que los cocineros están guapos pero yo me fije que las hostess tampoco están mal. Cualquier ramen está bueno (yo pido que no tenga hue-​vito encima) y con unos edamames y un sake caliente todo se vuelve felicidad después de andar hambreado, insolado y cansado de caminar todo el día.

Eu adoro ir no Ippudo! É uma casa de ramen super badala em NY! Tem que chegar cedo, não faz reserva! Recomendo pedir o pork bun de entrada, na verdade eu vou só pelo pork bun! E de comer ajoelhada! De ramen recomendo o Akamaru!!!

J’ai été dans ce restaurant pour tester leurs buns.
Le service est rapide et le cadre est très agréable. Cependant le prix des buns est assez élevé pour la quantité du repas. Il s’agit d’une entrée certes mais la quantité est très limité (uniquement deux buns par assiette) et aucun «petit accompagnement… «le tout pour $ 25 à deux just for that with one diet coke :/

Unos ramen buenísimos, y también probamos la ensalada de tataki de de atún que para cenar es más ligera que los ramen y estaba muy buena.
Te dan la opción de rellenarte la sopa de fideos una segunda vez para terminarte el caldo por 2 $ nada más pero ojo si vas en el último turno y cierran la cocina no puedes.
El local es muy bonito aunque son muy gritones.

Fuimos a cenar, tuvimos que esperar casi una hora pero sin duda merece la pena. La comida y la atención excelente. Repetiremos seguro. Terrific food and service.
