- Benta BentaFebruary 7, 2011Try 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
- New veggie ramen is super good. Pro-tip: replace tofu with pork.
- Mike ChauMay 12, 2013Try the Kurobuta Millefille Age - Panko crusted and fried Berkshire pork cutlet with bamboo shoots, shiso leaves and cheese inside. Awesome.
- Kristen PeiranoFebruary 15, 2015The modern ramen is the perfect ramen (if you prefer spicy do not get this one). Skip the pork buns. They are not even close to the hype
- Liz LeeJuly 21, 2013Everything was awesome. Servers are very on point. The host and hostess are wonderful. Tip them well people! (:
- Erica CongelliNovember 14, 2012Avoid the wait: put your name on the list, then go kill some time at the pool hall around the corner. They'll call you when your table is ready.
- There will *always* be a 90-minute wait, but don't despair! There's a chill pool hall a block north on 4th Ave, so arrive early and shoot a few games while you wait.
- val bravermanAugust 16, 2012Modern with poached egg is undeniably the best ramen I've ever had. Ever. Drink with an ice cold Sapporo. Heaven.
- Best pork buns in the city!! Momofuku cannot hold a candle to these! Ramen is more than excellent obviously! Get the Akamaru or the Karaka Kogashi!
- julia tNovember 28, 2014Worth the hype. Put your name down and go play pool at Amsterdam billiards to kill time. PORK BUNS.
- John SwordsAugust 8, 2014The ramen is some of the best in Manhattan. Not quite Ivan Ramen Slurp Shop.
- Jill XuFebruary 12, 2011<3 the rib, avocado & tofu tart, and spring roll as appetizer. 1st ramen on the menu is the best. green tea almond ice cream... hmm, yummy :P

http://www.yelp.com/menu/ippudo-ny-new-york - Try the goodbye rice (ocha zuke) for a little something extra, after a bowl of ramen soup. That's 3 logs of rice, dotted by sesame seeds and nori. Quite nice.
- Always get the pork buns. There's even a veggie version that somehow tastes just as good.
- The ramen is a must and so are the shisito peppers and pork belly buns.
- The Ramen is unbelievable and their pork buns might be the best in NYC.
- Max MearsheimerFebruary 2, 2013Pork Buns are incredible. Have them with the Yamazaki Whiskey Cocktail. An amazing combo.
- Bryn WearsJune 17, 2014Anything that includes an noodles, meat, and egg this perfect is worth eating
- Yoni ZloczewskiAugust 30, 2015If you go at the right time you can avoid massive waits - also a great solo spot
- Nora MooreSeptember 23, 2014Ramen is good. Broth is flavorful and porky without being too salty, noodles are tender and chewy, pork is not too fatty or salty and full of flavor.
- Sophia Del CidNovember 20, 2015Everything. This place is fantastic, they have something for everyone.
- Deepak ShrivastavaApril 8, 2014Come before noon and enjoy the ramen without the wait. Amazing apps as well.
- suneelSeptember 11, 2014skip the usual akkamaru modern and try whatever interesting special seasonal ramen they have.
- Dana DAugust 23, 2010Forget a table. Head to the corner of the bar, snag some of the excellent wings and a beverage. Then watch the people milling around outside waiting for their table.
- The broth in the Modern is what I imagine the urine of unicorns to taste like. Eat it up. Enjoy it. Savor every drop. Or I'll find you...
- Madeleine RootOctober 28, 2014Sure it's an awesome ramen place... But don't skip the pork buns. Yum!
- Erin FinneganApril 29, 2013Don't bring anyone who's ever been to Japan here; they'll complain that the ramen is twice as expensive as Tokyo and half as good. The three hour wait time means the proprietors have tricked NYC.
- H QJanuary 10, 2013I like the flavor of their ramen..but I can't stand their broth. It's too thick and unctuous in the mouth. Broth should be lighter
- Monday LisaSeptember 22, 2014One of the best ramen spots in NYC. Which is why there's always an unholy wait.
- VIJune 8, 2010No matter what anyone says ippudo u have my little ramen heart forever!! Shishito peppers and my lychee martin. Sure there is a long wait- but everyone i have brought loves it!!
- Pavel BainsJuly 26, 2012Get the spicy ramen with pork. Also get the pork buns. You will never want a slider ever again.
- Frank DenbowDecember 28, 2013Wasabi ramen is excellent. Make sure you mix it well since they use real wasabi stems
- Carlos SanchezJuly 5, 2013Sensational - cannot recommend strongly enough. On par with the best ramen places in Japan
