IPPINN UDON & TEMPURA

This establishment markets themselves like a marugame but is really a Chinese fusion restaurant that offers udon noodles, where most of their dishes (mala broth, chicken teriyaki, green onion pancake) are more Chinese leaning. If you’re looking for an authentic Japanese restaurant please look elsewhere.

The food was just ok, just because something is made “in-house” doesn’t always mean that it’s good.

From their website “The process is built for speed. You grab a tray at the counter, ask for either thin or thick cut udon noodles, then move down the cafeteria line requesting toppings. At the end of the line, you add sauces and condiments like togarashi, panko crumbs and house fermented chili paste, pay your bill, grab cutlery from a nifty chopstick dispenser, and sit down to slurp.”

We took the trays, lined up, placed our order… and expected to have our food ready by the time we check out but you just pay and sit down … with your empty tray (?) and then someone brings your food over. Strange, nonetheless we won’t be coming back here.

I had the teriyaki chicken Dumburi , decent for the price, chicken tasted a bit weird , probably a commercial frozen product Would try tofu if I came again. Large portions I saw other dining options in the area but at a higher price.

My Cousin, who lives in Northern California, said we need to stop in Santa Rosa at Ippinn Udon while on our road trip from Washington to FL. He said it’s his absolute favorite. It did not disappoint. It was amazing! The staff were very kind. The food was delicious and fresh. They had really good sized portions as well. We even had enough to take with us on our road trip. This is definitely our new favorite place in Santa Rosa. Thank you Ippinn Udon for making our road trip extra special.

Ordered about 19 things. The chicken kabob was very dry (would not order that again. The rest of the items were tasty.

Fantastic! We were on a brief visit in Santa Rosa and chose to eat here at the last minute and I can't stop thinking about how delicious everything tasted. I live in Chico CA, and I'm seriously thinking about traveling to Santa Rosa just to eat at Ippinn Don't & Tempura.

The four different udons were delicious! The owner is very friendly and came out to ask about the quality and taste. The noodles were made fresh in the noodle shop! Many varieties.

It turned out to be way better than expected — it’s a casual Japanese udon store where you order at the counter, but the food feels restaurant-level. The udon noodles are perfectly chewy, and the tempura is crisp. I also ordered Salmon Don and I like the source. Prices is fair and the staff is friendly Overall it’s an impressive hidden gem that delivers comfort food.

The udon and ramen are so good. The texture is hard to beat. The noddles come very fast. In and out of the restaurant within half an hour with a satisfied stomach ☺️

Recommended dishes: Tonkotsu Udon, Spicy Beef Udon

Tasty meals though not so authentic flavor. More of a fusion with Chinese cuisine influence.

I’ve been a lot of places in the world and this restaurant has some of the best udon, curry, and delicious dishes I’ve ever had. Ippinn is a family favorite and we go often. Their homemade hot sauce is also incredibly unique and perfectly balanced too. They sell some there and we bought some to take home and we use it on everything 🙌.
