Food was amazing - wonderful flavors and beautiful presentation. Attentive and never had to ask for more water or tea.

This was the second time I've been to this location and the first time was ages ago when it first opened. Service was prompt and the food was good. The standouts were the chicken karaage and Ramen. It was good and they did have a happy hour.

Ippudo Berkeley never disappoints! From the moment you walk in, the friendly staff makes you feel welcome and taken care of. The food is just as incredible—the airy steam buns are perfectly soft and filled with flavorful goodness. The crunchy spicy karaage has the ideal balance of crispiness and heat, making it an absolute must-try. And the ramen? Simply outstanding. The sesame oil broth adds a rich depth that makes every bite comforting and satisfying. Whether you're a ramen enthusiast or just looking for an amazing meal, Ippudo Berkeley is the place to go!

The noodles were hard. Not cooked. The server was rude. We had to ask for chili flakes 3 times and still none.

NIRVANA KARAKA is a must try ramen for vegetarian people. Everything was a hit! Highly recommended.

Great tasting ramen. Also try shishito peppers. They are delicious.
Wonderful and delicious bowl of ramen. Unfortunately the soft boiled egg is separate. Spacing was a bit tight but the staff was able to accommodate a table in the back for a stroller so I can eat with my newborn baby. They also have a small table in the gender neutral bathroom that you can sort of use as a changing table!

The ramen is pretty decent, but for the price of a bowl, you can almost buy a plane ticket out to Japan to get the real thing. And $3 to add an egg? Come on. The service isn't particularly good. Wait staff aren't trained to the same level as the Ippudo branches in Japan. All in all, I wouldn't come back, especially when factoring in the hefty price. Also the 18% suggested minimum tip (including tip on the tax) was also a turn off.

I dined in once when I picked up my take-out order. I asked very politely, but the older lady was pretty upset over that until I ordered extra and gave the minimum tip of 18%, lol. The tonkatsu ramen with chasu was pretty good - probably the best in Berkeley but nothing mind-blowing. Since then, I’ve only ordered the chasu Bun Medley as take out. Each time I order, the meat filling gets less and less, resulting in buns that taste less and less fulfilling, and look nothing like the advertised picture on the menu. Might just stop ordering all together.
Love all of the vegan options!
