@JaumePrimeroNovember 4, 2011is the menu here worth the visit? hell yes. But, having lived in Asia now for 2 years, its tough to appreciate the ramen. Pork buns definitely rival Momofuku!
Sean BesserMay 29, 2013Excellent hip/upscale ramen place. Pork buns and the akamaru modern ramen were both fantastic, though needed extra sriracha.
Ajit VergheseJanuary 13, 2012RS says: Try the Shiromaru Hakata Classic: "pork bone broth highly emulsified, noodles slightly firmer than most and thinner, and pickled ginger is an important component of the flavor package."
SiovonneAugust 26, 2014Ramen! Waiting time is usually an hour or more. So put your name on the list and grab a beer. It's worth the wait.
Sam LoganDecember 14, 2017This is the best ramen I have ever had. Period. It's worth the wait. Do it ASAP.
Joshua EddyOctober 13, 2016Best Rammen and Sticky buns around and lines out the door to match. Sticky buns worth the wait.
Harrison JohnsonJune 2, 2018Try the Akamaru ramen if you like miso. The broth was delicious, and the service was great. 🍜
Get the Akamaru Modern. Just do it. And share some pork buns with a friend.
excellent ramen. sometimes a bit of a wait but totally worth it. Get the spicy ramen
Seth WiederSeptember 17, 2016Wait can be long but well worth it. Delicious Ramen and Chicken Buns are AMAZING! 😍🍘
Village VoiceApril 3, 2015You're actually at an advantage if you're dining alone here, for your wait will undoubtedly be shorter. Read more
The Akamaru Modern ramen was the best ramen I had outside of Japan, although I am sure the others are amazing too! Get the extra special pork belly, if you know what I mean!
Order the new ramen "hakamen." That's hard noodles to you ;) The new ramen appearing in soups here came out softer than usual on a first try.- The Tastes that Make the CityJanuary 28, 2015The akamaru modern ramen is the best ramen in NYC, making our list of "The Tastes That Make the City: NYC Edition."

Seth TJuly 3, 2012Snap! The Miso Ramen might be my new favorite - get it with the added pork belly and you're in for a rich and filling treat.
AmateurConciergeOctober 2, 2014Favorite "traditional" ramen spot in NYC. Try going at lunch to beat the wait
Hirata buns and the Karaka Men with extra noodle. Oh sooooo good. 5/5
I have a gastronomic romance going on with Ippudo. Typically pork buns, your favorite ramen with pork belly, and that thousand layered cake.
Elaine KimJuly 18, 2011Get the cucumber, pork buns, and a ramen.. My fav is the spicy one with a tonkatsu base. Also, I like extra scallions and freshly ground sesame seeds.
Neelu RaviOctober 1, 2017Pretty decent vegetarian ramen. My friend ordered pork buns and she loved it.
Daniel TantaleanOctober 24, 2015Ippudo is really great Ramen spot. Love the complementary green tea at the end of the meal.
ChristianJuly 23, 2016Interesting beer selection and side plates. Try the fried peppers. The ramen was very good, but not the best I've had.
Tariq AhmadOctober 1, 2017Excellent ramen (and fast service). Note that they will not seat you unless your entire party is at the restaurant.- Djaniella D.July 21, 2014Don't be shy to ask for a fork if you can't quite eat your delicious ramen with chopsticks!😉
Nicole CifaniJanuary 10, 2014If you get the veggie option make sure to thoroughly stir in the wasabi topping first. Yum!
Brandon HoangDecember 21, 2016This place gets packed! Don't be one of those people who chit chats and loafs around while everyone else is waiting to get their noodle on. Slurp, pay, get out.
Brook ShelleyApril 11, 2015Delicious and hearty. Always a line, but pretty damn great so it might be worth waiting for
Amazing and completely worth the wait! Get the modern ramen with pork belly on top!
MaximilianoDecember 16, 2013Akamaru modern: smooth, delicious and addictive pork soup with tasty ramen.
- Best place to go for lunch during the week when dining solo! Get the Akamaru Modern and iced green tea. The. Best!

Delicious ramen, always add a marinated egg. The cucumber appetizer is awesome too
Elie BleierJune 29, 2014Insane wait but worth it. Unique Japanese chant by the staff when you enter. If it wasn't obvious, order the ramen.
Shirley ZhuJune 11, 2016The pork bun is delicious! Ramen is great but the gin-sake cocktails are just so-so
DANGER TAMFebruary 20, 2012you're gonna have a wait there but it's totally worth it. why not get the maiko cocktail and dream of the sweet pork baos you'll soon be eating? right? right.
Fries are excellent, crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside.
Scott BFebruary 20, 2014The "modern" ramen with seasoned egg was fantastic, best ramen I've had in years. Worth a try!
Amanda PonzoJuly 5, 2013Went around 11:30am and we barely got in! Delicious ramen and incredibly friendly service. Points for playing Daft Punk the entire time we were there.
Joshua HaftelFebruary 2, 2016Their drum heart special is great, black sesame tonkotsu with rayu, cilantro, and lime. Noodles were meh though :/
EKWMay 27, 2012Holy crap this place was amazing! Food was so authentic and the vibe was rockin! Can't wait to come back and enjoy more great food!!
I loved the ramen but mostly because they weren't as strong and rich compared to the Ramen in Tokyo
Becca BaeNovember 9, 2015Delicious noodles and surprisingly good sake cocktails. Expect a wait of 45+ minutes on any given night.
George LeeJanuary 15, 2016Tried the Chicken stock this time. Pork broths still pack some extra flavor here.
jon nguyenJuly 8, 2013Try the Akamaru Modern - as anyone else who has eaten this would say...it was an awesome bowl of ramen...no if, ands, or buts about it
Ben YoungOctober 18, 2014Best ramen ever. We normally grab the edamame, pork buns and the Akamura Modern. Delicious!
