Ippudo Westside is a popular Japanese restaurant located near Times Square, well-known for its delicious ramen, which includes various options such as vegetarian and vegan choices. The restaurant receives praise for its excellent food quality and taste, along with its friendly service. Meals are reasonably priced, with the spicy chicken gyoza and ramen being among the most favored dishes. The main plate portions are suitable for one person, while starters can be shared. This restaurant is highly recommended for ramen lovers, as it offers an authentic Japanese ramen experience and is considered one of the best in New York City. Customers have described the ramens, rices, and other treats as mind-blowingly tasty, with the broth being a highlight that keeps diners coming back for more. The service is attentive and responsive, ensuring water glasses are never empty and timing is just right. The menu is rich and provides ample options for ramen enthusiasts, while the smaller location has a vibrant, lively atmosphere. Although the restaurant is often busy, even late at night, it is easy to find a table during lunch hours. Some customers have suggested improvements, such as upgrading the cushions and tables, as well as making the entrance more welcoming, since it can be hidden and easily missed.
