IPPUDO SAN FRANCISCO

We always come here when in SF.

To be honest, this is one of the few places we’d fly to San Francisco just to eat. For the past ten years, we’ve kept coming back, and nowhere else in the U.S. has ramen this good. The broth is rich and full of flavor, the noodles are always just right, and everything on the menu is solid. We’ve tried almost everything here, and it has never let us down. I’m really sad they stopped serving the matcha wine—it was such a special touch. If you’re in San Francisco and you love good ramen, don’t miss Ippudo. This place has been a highlight of every trip, no matter how much the city has changed around it.

The food reminds me of the meals served on the airplane.

We had the best restaurant experience at IPPUDO. The service was impeccable, the atmosphere is spot on, and the food was outstanding!
Everybody was very nice, we never felt ignored, and the food came out really fast.
The atmosphere is very nice, with beautiful ceiling artwork.
The best part was the food.
First, we shared the fried chicken appetizer. It was delicious. For dinner
I had the Shiromaru Classic. The broth was out of this world. The ramen noodles are obviously fresh and everything was very well balanced with just the right amount of noodles to additional items. I've never had ramen that good!
We'll definitely go back!

Got their Shiromaru classic ramen and it was incredible, I really enjoyed the broth especially adding some chili powder and didn't think it was too salty! We also ordered the karaage, which was fried well but not flavorful enough for us.

Came here after a movie at the AMC Metreon and had no wait and got seated immediately!

Good:
- Food arrived so fast! We got our stuff 10 min later
- Loved the tsukemen and the noodle and broth went together so well - dipping ramen is my favorite
- The mazemen was a highlight as well - lots of flavor despite not having broth too - I think the sauce for this was even better than the dipping noodles
- Vibes are cool, it's a sleek modern interior and very clean

Bad:
- Pretty packed inside!

Overall I liked the place for a date night vibe, and the noodles are sooo good.

Great Ramen. They have a lot of vegetarian options. The soup’s flavor was strong and the noodles were thick n chewy. The place was packed on a Monday evening. Nice tasteful seating.

The spicy karaka ramen was flavourful and I especially loved the chashu: Thinly sliced and continued with the strong flavour.

The broccolini was a really nice starter as well.

Both bowls of ramen we got were delicious. But between the Akamaru modern and the Yuzu Shoyu, the later was definitely more unique. A salty fish broth flavor that paired well with the chicken cut.
