Karaka Men for the win! The pork melts in your mouth. Delicious.
Esin EsmerokSeptember 3, 2017
Great pork buns, fairly good ramen (I should say I had better).
Gloria ChinJuly 17, 2012
Akamaru Modern Ramen, cheese ramen, pork belly buns and the japanese fried peppers

Skip shishito peppers this week. I had a bitter, soapy tasting batch, 7/12. When asked for an alternative, the manager called me "spiteful" & claimed they were "perfect." So much for my rave reviews.
Billy HenehanSeptember 20, 2012
Order pork buns as your appetizer. Ask for extra flavor in your ramen. Thank me later.
Marisa MillardDecember 9, 2014
Everything was good. Get the paper buns and ribs for apps
Marco GomesDecember 2, 2017
The best vegetarian ramen.
JillianMarch 12, 2016
Pork buns for the table! Get the ramen to share, little goes a long way.
Natasha MoriniOctober 18, 2015
Always a long wait unless you go right before the lunch rush during the week. Very good but limited menu.
Jonathan AizenJanuary 20, 2017
Pair your Ramen with the tasty Brooklyn beer
Morgan PolotanMarch 21, 2015
Wide variety of ramen, but the pork dumplings are to die for.

Get the pork buns (it's true; better than Momofoku) and Akamaru Modern. You will leave a very happy person.
Jess LeungOctober 29, 2011
Best Japanese ramen in NYC, as well as delicious pork buns. Prepare for the long wait, but leave immensely satisfied.

Go at the beginning of lunch time to skip the line.. Even if there's a line it's always worth the wait.
Jonathan VuFebruary 20, 2013

Pork belly buns, akamaru modern ramen, beer! Don't deliberate. Just do it!
Ira BApril 21, 2015
The best pork buns money can buy. Worth the wait.
Danny ZhuApril 27, 2012
The Akamaru Modern with a poached egg is the way to go. Simply delicious!
JessieJune 16, 2012
Shishito ==> awesome; Hirata (pork) buns --> also fantastic. The Wasabi Ramen special needs to be brought back.
Anne LinJanuary 7, 2016
Try the shishito peppers and the Akamaru Modern ramen.
Ama KeatesJuly 3, 2013

Always come alone if you don't want to wait two hours! It's still just as good!
ginny hDecember 10, 2010
Ridiculously good pork belly buns that melt in your mouth. Ramen was good but not amazing. I've had similar if not better in California. Buns however may be worth the wait.
Helen SJanuary 25, 2012

don't miss the appetizers: pork buns, samurai ribs, goma kyuri, agedashi tofu, and the wings!
Lu BoutinJuly 29, 2013

Come at 5pm ( right before they open the store for dinner ) is the shortest wait u could possibly get.
Linda NguyenSeptember 14, 2014
Pork buns and the classic ramen with a soft boiled egg
Makeda J.April 18, 2013
Hands Down...the best fuckin' Ramen in New York!!!!! Awesome atmosphere too!!!! Most definately go!!
MaximFebruary 28, 2014
The ramen are obviously amazing - but try the yuzu sake too!
Blake OlmsteadDecember 28, 2015
The atmosphere is what really makes this place great.
Nicole CascinoSeptember 23, 2012
Specials that includes a free bun. Also a fantastic selection of quality sake. Cheers!
Andre RibeiroJune 17, 2013
Best ramen I've ever had. The pork buns are amazing as well.
Samuel CrystalOctober 10, 2011
Try and vary your noodle dishes around the table and try a little of each others as there is so much variation Read more
Simon KFebruary 24, 2015
Seemingly bought in noodles rather than freshly made, broth doesn't have much depth of flavour and ill-advised spring onion wipes out what little taste there is. Pork tastes like it's from a packet.
RCMay 20, 2015
Solid ramen. Get some of their house-made spicy paste.
Theresa GOctober 14, 2012
worth the wait! start with the steamed pork buns and then try the the spicy miso ramen.
Doug LNovember 26, 2012
Go there early in the day to make a same-day reservation. Suckers just show up and put their name on the list

chicken rice bowl is to die for. (and the akamaru modern is obviously delicious.)
Tom MengMarch 3, 2015
Fun vibe. Delicious ramen and pork buns
Amber VittoriaOctober 11, 2014
Best pork buns in New York. Definitely worth the wait.
Marcos MejiaJuly 7, 2013
They call you to be here in 5min because your table is ready then make you wait a half hour... Other than that the noodles and pork buns are good but Momofukus pork buns are better.
The Wall Street JournalJune 9, 2010
Beware: they only take same-day reservations, and the lunch crowd must wait five to 30 minutes in the front room. Complex $13 Ramen concoctions include the popular Akamaru and the Shiromaru. Read more
Rami Haykal-ManningApril 30, 2016
Worth the wait, add pork if need be to your ramen
Chris McgonigalAugust 7, 2014
Everything is good, get the bao bun appetizer.
Angelica ObilloOctober 17, 2014
Pork buns are a must!
Nick IorfinoAugust 14, 2014
Pork buns are the way to kick off a great meal at Ippudo.
Carrie MSeptember 20, 2010
The Akumaru Modern is so so delicious. Charming ambiance, and everything on the menu seemed pretty awesome if the Akumaru doesn't float yer boat.

Karaka (spicy ramen) with poached egg. Excellent!
Spring InésDecember 16, 2015
All the ramen here is great. You can get better pork buns elsewhere.
Joan MatelliJuly 3, 2012
Add mustard leaf to you ramen. Savory, rich, tasty, and not too heavy like an added egg.
Bryn WearsJune 17, 2014
Anything that includes an egg this perfect is worth eating
Ian GriggsAugust 9, 2014
Great ramen and a fun lively atmosphere.
Colleen McGinnFebruary 11, 2012

The pork buns are incredible! Definitely worth the waits and even better than Momofuku.
