The ramen looked very greasy, and after finishing it, I got food poisoning.

Delicious veggie ramen, a bit on the hotter side. But I love it. My go to! Also really good when ordered for delivery! Also recommend trying the bao. YUM.
Ippudo is a good fast paced ramen spot. I don't think it's the best ramen around in town, but it is good. The service was fast and very attentive! The parking can be a little tough if you want to park in front, but there is a garage with a lot of spots!

Great food. Only recommendation is to not need reminders to get certain things.
The pork tonkotsu broth is a little salty for my taste.

Tried karaka spicy. It was spicy and flavorful. Chashu is a smaller portion comparatively. Noodles were the right thickness and tastes delicious. Def coming here again.
A bit pricey but the food was good and the service was very professional.

Wanted to love Ippudo since I've heard great things about this place from my friend but I personally thought their ramen was very average. The broth wasn't as flavorful as I thought, and their spicy paste overpowered the taste of the ramen as I was eating. They only give you a handful of ingredients compared to other ramen places I've tried so far. I'm talking 2 thinly sliced pieces of tonkatsu and a handful of very thin ramen noodles so I finished my bowl in no time lol. Service was fast but other than that, I'd venture out to other ramen spots the next time I'm in the area. Nothing beats Menya Ultra in SD though!

First time trying Ippudo and heard they were popular and located all over from Japan. We were seated right away. But it took forever to place our order with the wait staff. Then no one brought the napkins and chopsticks so I had to get up and go get it myself. We ordered the gyoza, the Shiromaru classic, Akamaru, and two Karaka spicy ramen. We thought it was ok. The soup and toppings were done well, but we felt the noodles could be more firm / al dente as we felt it was too soft. It was not a five star experience, but we got to try it.

The good: flavorful, not too salty, noodles are soft and bouncy, the meat is soft The bad: overpaying for how much they give you. If you want to eat here and feel full, make sure you eat a main course meal before you come here for the ramen appetizer. One thing for sure is that, it's one expensive appetizer. Biggest pet peeve is expecting to pay $20 for a meal and not having to go home to cook.In the picture, they give you a tapered bowl which tricks you into thinking you have a big bowl and it's only half way full. Before eating, that's me holding up the noodles in one go. Finished it in a couple bites.

The ramen is good. Having had Ippudo ramen in Japan, I feel the ramen here still have room for improvement.
