Best pork buns in the game and the classic ramen is out of this world.

I've been to Ippudo 20x and finally had my first special, the szeshuan tan tan. Oh my. All other times: akamaru modern kikuni style with egg. Several kaidame. Always a winner. Oishi desu!

Pork bun is ridiculously good. Salad dressing (wasabi based) is insanely good. Communal seating, great ambiance.

The pork buns are the best in New York. And somehow the veggie buns are even better.

i love the ramen here but my favorite thing to get is the spicy cod roe over rice off the lunch menu!
Vladimir VidelovOctober 14, 2022
Wow, finally amazing ramen! Bun also top notch 🎉👏🏻
Melissa RosenfieldMarch 29, 2015
It's worth the wait which usually goes fast. Their classic ramen isn't salty which is perfect.
Marlon BOctober 1, 2015
Awesome ramen experience. If you are in the East Village this is the place to be.
Paige CSeptember 2, 2014
Oh those pork buns! Grab a spot at the bar (if you can) and enjoy!
Pursarth TuladharOctober 8, 2013
The best ramen I've had in all of USA. Be prepared to wait if you are going here for dinner. The lunch wait is not so bad.
Thomas RibereauApril 19, 2012
Take some chicken buns and fried yellowtail as apetizers, and the classic ramen Akamaru Modern with the pork supplement, it's awesome!
Matt RaibertAugust 20, 2011
I think the classic ramen is the way to go. With added pork belly if you like. I like to have the Karashi Takana on the side.
Ryan AmbsFebruary 20, 2016
Maguro tartar, octopus, buns, and wings. Solid ramen but I prefer the thicker noodles.
AaronMay 11, 2013
Tip: If you ask for vinegar, the staff will bring you a saucer of vinegar. Recommended. But to reach this stage you must have waited for an hour +.
Samson NgAugust 9, 2013
It's always just as good as the last time I came here! You can't go wrong with the Akamaru Ramen with the pork belly.
Gail HSeptember 12, 2012
Competitor to momofuku but I love the Akamaru Modern ramen. On a rainy day, what could be better? All about the ramen here.
Rachel SmithOctober 16, 2015
Came with party of 11 fantastic booths to accommodate, traditional ramen fantastic, enough to share!
New York HabitatNovember 10, 2011
Casual Japanese spot in the East Village, we love the pork buns but you can't go wrong with the ramen either.

Akamaru ramen lunch set (mentai mayo rice and mini salad)
MischaJune 2, 2015
The fastest way to get-in is really going alone, even doing so can take you up to 30min to get a seat.
AlexJune 8, 2015
the Akamaru modern is absolutely wonderful. matcha creme brûlée for dessert is 👌🏾
Nailah HinesJanuary 29, 2019
karaka spicy ramen is amazing and completely filling.

if you're a fan of all things spicy, the Karaka Miso Ramen is a winner! don't forget to add a poached egg or hard boiled egg and a side of pork buns...
Alan YouAugust 10, 2014
If you get to the bottom of your bowl and are still hungry, get an order of kae-dama (extra noodles) for just $2.00.

Still consistently one of my favorite ramen joints. Akamaru Modern is a classic.
Elaine CourtneyAugust 19, 2011
HUGE wait for a table. My friends and I had to go to a nearby bar to kill time. But the warm bowls of happiness melted the cold we were experiencing (it was hailing). Heaven.
AhuvaOctober 24, 2016
Oh, the RAMEN! Great vibes too, but be prepared to wait for a table.
David PoynerMay 28, 2014
Amazed at the quality. Well done. I suggest ordering anything off the menu. You won't be disappointed!

Worth the wait. Akamaru Modern ramen is some of the best I've ever eaten. Creamy, rich, umami.
Rishad TobaccowalaNovember 16, 2014
Chicken hirata buns are great starters and then Karaka Men noodles. With lots of draft beer.
Angela FettersOctober 25, 2014
One of the best ramen I've ever had. Alway make sure to get a poached egg added:-)
Rob HDecember 4, 2014
You can go in around 4 and make a sorta reservation for later that night. Cuts down hugely on wait. Go to black and white if you have long wait.
c0uPNovember 28, 2016
Has to be the best vegetarian ramen in town.
Jenny ParkNovember 19, 2010
I think it's overrated: the bone broth is too heavy and over-seasoned. I must say the chicken and pork buns are delish. The chicken wings are WOW esp. paired with cabbage, it's a perfect marriage
Jesse RoehrichMarch 25, 2012
Had the miso ramen and pork buns--both were delicious! I'd definetely recommend it, although it's a little pricey for ramen.
Joseph LeSeptember 19, 2016
Akamaru ramen with spicy paste and a soft boiled egg!
Leandro LageraMay 30, 2016
Yeah yeah. It's a chain but the buns are great and the ramen is authentic. Like the vibe too
Jarel HillJune 16, 2018
Liked karaka better. And if u go for lunch get a side bowl of fried chicken! Unreal!
Bin YangJuly 16, 2012
Possibly the best ramen in NYC but personally, I can't stand the lines. Great ramen and fantastic pork buns.

In the winter, the Kogashi Miso ramen is my favorite in the city. In the summer they dont have it :(

The mushroom buns are AMAZING. The ramen is pretty great too :) also try lychee soda.
Victoria NatenzonDecember 18, 2014
Most AMAZING pork buns ever. Worth the wait. Just go, you won't regret it.
Albie PagánNovember 19, 2014
If you heard many people say its the best ramen in the city, believe it. It's amazing. The pork buns? Orgasmic.

Generous shrimp dishes as a come-on at the opening, quickly deleted from menu in favor of shrimp bits...Enough p ork broth, to give you a heart attack at 50. 150 Ippudo locations in Tokyo, 1 in NYC ..
Irakli BibileishviliMay 26, 2015
Proper Ramen in NYC that serves traditional tonkotsu! Love this place!
Jules RiveraJune 26, 2019
Great drinks, food and staff.. what more could one ask for?
Melody HanAugust 17, 2011
Best ramen broth in the city, but be prepared to wait. Go early, put your name in for a specific time, and come back when you're ready to eat.
Anton SlyusarApril 23, 2016
Undoubtedly best ramen in NYC, leave some space for extra noodles.
Benta BentaFebruary 7, 2011
Try the Kogashi Miso Ramen - This was sublime- charred miso broth base with garlic oil and all the fixings. Only on Ippudo dinner menu till end of Feb
