Long worthwhile wait for some damn good ramen. Many choices of beer on tap. The staff welcomes every patron with cheers and the decor is so beautiful!
This location uses an online menu: https://ev-ippudony-menu-qr.netlify.app The dining room is nicely designed and a peaceful space in the midst of a busy city. The entry is small but once you enter into the inside, it's like a cave. Overall noise level is ok but could be loud during busy hours. Will update after meal
The food was amazing . We order multiple appetizers that came out quickly . The spicy miso ramen was the best. The service was good. Food came fast without any issues. The location was clean and ambience was nice. It was a busy when we arrived but the noise lever was fine. Overall great experience with the family.
Made a reservation for a Thursday night. The seating is super unique as they have large tables and seat parties together. Would be really fun if there was a large group. The staff were kind and very crisp and professional with their movements. Food came out piping hot and full of SO MUCH FLAVOR. Add on the boiled egg and you won't be upset about your decision.
ended up at ippudo since cafe 2by2 wasn't open at the time we expected. this bowl of ramen turned out to be just what we needed on a cold winter day. i ordered the karaka spicy ramen ($24) with a poached egg ($3) on the side. the noodles are in a pork tonkotsu broth with thin noodles, chashu, and scallions. it's also topped with the house blended niku-miso bolognese, garlic oil, and fried onion chips. for the price, i was a bit disappointed that there weren't other toppings included (it would have been nice to have some bamboo shoots or fishcake). however, the flavors of the dish were delicious, and the texture of the noodles were just right. the other bowl pictured is the nirvana karaka ($27), which has a mushroom infused broth with a soy milk base, thick wavy noodles, marinated carrots, fried enoki mushroom tempura, tofu chasu, and kaiware (or daikon radish sprouts). the spiced niku-miso bolognese was on the side in this one. this one was also liked by the table and, as you might be able to tell from the ingredients, is vegetarian!
Never really any complaints, ordered their spicy ramen and it was on point. Broth was very rich and flavorful. Appetizers was great, except for the spicy gyoza. Do not get that, it's very bland or maybe the line cook messed up on the sauce mix. Will always recommend!
This is a ramen spot I've been going to for many years when it solely focused on serving good ramen and delicious pork buns. Now they have elevated to serving a variety of Japanese dishes to truly immerse in some Japanese comfort food but with more finesse. I've seen the menu change and evolve throughout the years but I'll be focusing on the current menu. I ordered my go-to order which is Pork Buns (which they now serve in a variety from fried chicken and fried shrimp) and Akamaru Shinaji with extra garlic, which they slice and diced for me since previously they served the garlic press and raw garlic glove. So I appreciated the improvement in serving a topping such as extra garlic. The new item I ordered was a Rice Bowl with Karaage (Fried Chicken) and this was quite a filling dish with plenty of karaage, sauce, toppings, and rice. This is a very saucy, crunchy, and slightly sweet sauce of a dish so do ask if you want to tone down on the sauce if you wish to try this dish. This location always has the same iconic entrance and bar where many people lounge and wait to be seated. The dining area has various seating options from the bar where you can see the food being cooked, prepped, and made (which is a favorite spot of mine), a communal table to eat alongside other guests, round tables for larger parties, and booth type tables that overlook the entire space. There are also additional tables for a bit more private dining experience. Overall, this is a spot I'm glad has been around throughout the years, improved as well as evolved its menu, and a good time as a solo dining experience or with friends
This spot was definitely bigger than it looked from the outside. We stumbled upon this find on a rainy thanksgiving day while we were staying at the moxy around the corner pretty much and I'm so glad we did. I loved the way they did their ramen- from thin noodles, flavorful but not greasy broth and thin pork, it really warmed us up on a rainy day and filled us up perfectly. I got to try this super nigori sake, which I didn't even know was that different than nigori sake, it was think almost like a smoothy but with the nigori flavor. The server warned me beforehand which I appreciated knowing it was going to be different. Overall a great experience that we stumbled upon on a rainy day.
