- Harrison JohnsonJune 2, 2018Try the Akamaru ramen if you like miso. The broth was delicious, and the service was great. 🍜
- SiovonneAugust 26, 2014Ramen! Waiting time is usually an hour or more. So put your name on the list and grab a beer. It's worth the wait.
- Veggie buns are amazing, even better than the pork buns (which may be the best in the city).
- @JaumePrimeroNovember 4, 2011is the menu here worth the visit? hell yes. But, having lived in Asia now for 2 years, its tough to appreciate the ramen. Pork buns definitely rival Momofuku!
- Sam LoganDecember 14, 2017This is the best ramen I have ever had. Period. It's worth the wait. Do it ASAP.
- Get the Akamaru Modern. Just do it. And share some pork buns with a friend.

- Elaine KimJuly 18, 2011Get the cucumber, pork buns, and a ramen.. My fav is the spicy one with a tonkatsu base. Also, I like extra scallions and freshly ground sesame seeds.

- Seth WiederSeptember 17, 2016Wait can be long but well worth it. Delicious Ramen and Chicken Buns are AMAZING! 😍🍘
- The Akamaru Modern ramen was the best ramen I had outside of Japan, although I am sure the others are amazing too! Get the extra special pork belly, if you know what I mean!
- I have a gastronomic romance going on with Ippudo. Typically pork buns, your favorite ramen with pork belly, and that thousand layered cake.
- AmateurConciergeOctober 2, 2014Favorite "traditional" ramen spot in NYC. Try going at lunch to beat the wait
- Seth TJuly 3, 2012Snap! The Miso Ramen might be my new favorite - get it with the added pork belly and you're in for a rich and filling treat.
- ChristianJuly 23, 2016Interesting beer selection and side plates. Try the fried peppers. The ramen was very good, but not the best I've had.
- Hirata buns and the Karaka Men with extra noodle. Oh sooooo good. 5/5
- Neelu RaviOctober 1, 2017Pretty decent vegetarian ramen. My friend ordered pork buns and she loved it.
- Daniel TantaleanOctober 24, 2015Ippudo is really great Ramen spot. Love the complementary green tea at the end of the meal.
- Tariq AhmadOctober 1, 2017Excellent ramen (and fast service). Note that they will not seat you unless your entire party is at the restaurant.
- Nicole CifaniJanuary 10, 2014If you get the veggie option make sure to thoroughly stir in the wasabi topping first. Yum!

- Brandon HoangDecember 21, 2016This place gets packed! Don't be one of those people who chit chats and loafs around while everyone else is waiting to get their noodle on. Slurp, pay, get out.
- Delicious ramen, always add a marinated egg. The cucumber appetizer is awesome too
- Thomas BraylenSeptember 21, 2014Authentic Zi Xiu Tang Bee Pollen,100 Natural Ingredients with Traditional Herbal Formula, Amazing Effect with No Harm In Bestzxt com http://www.bestzxt.com/
- Fries are excellent, crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside.
- Elie BleierJune 29, 2014Insane wait but worth it. Unique Japanese chant by the staff when you enter. If it wasn't obvious, order the ramen.
- Shirley ZhuJune 11, 2016The pork bun is delicious! Ramen is great but the gin-sake cocktails are just so-so

- Joshua HaftelFebruary 2, 2016Their drum heart special is great, black sesame tonkotsu with rayu, cilantro, and lime. Noodles were meh though :/
- Amanda PonzoJuly 5, 2013Went around 11:30am and we barely got in! Delicious ramen and incredibly friendly service. Points for playing Daft Punk the entire time we were there.

- Becca BaeNovember 9, 2015Delicious noodles and surprisingly good sake cocktails. Expect a wait of 45+ minutes on any given night.
- I loved the ramen but mostly because they weren't as strong and rich compared to the Ramen in Tokyo
- Ben YoungOctober 18, 2014Best ramen ever. We normally grab the edamame, pork buns and the Akamura Modern. Delicious!
- Jeff HOctober 27, 2013Pork bun is ridiculously good. Salad dressing (wasabi based) is insanely good. Communal seating, great ambiance.
