I got the Shiromaru Motoaji, the broth was okay, nothing special. The chashu was the biggest disappointment. It was dry and cut quite thick. The meat didn't melt in your mouth as its supposed to which is one of the best parts! My partner got the tori shoyu and he wasn't happy with his meal, either. The pork gyoza were tasty, but also not something to rave about.

Wow what a waste of time and money$$$ Even my kids said its disgusting... We're very very disappointed. Plus, its too expensive for ramen. Pork bun is ok,it's $5.00 each but the frozen one cheaper ofcourse but taste way better. I wish they have Ramen Nagi in Australia... Waste of money and time

We got our drinks and waited 20 minutes, watching the tables that arrived AFTER us receive their food. We enquired to as where our food was and turns out, they threw out our food order so we had order our dinner again. In those 20 minutes that passed, no one came to us to check on us, to see if we wanted to order extra drinks OR FOOD for that matter! We waited an additional 20 minutes then finally got our food which was OK. For anyone who has never had real ramen, Ippudo ramen is ok. There are definitely better ramen places in Sydney.When we went to pay, the cashier did not ask if everything went well nor did he ask if the food was good. We paid and left and it wasn’t until the morning after when I was throwing out the receipt did I notice that they charged us for an extra drink that we did not have. Not only did they lose our food order, their customer service is terrible, we were offered no compensating for waiting 40 minutes AND they charged us for an extra drink we did not have. I certainly won’t be coming back here and I will be sure to share my experience with anyone who mentions Ippudo.

I went inside to use cash and because you could get any ramen and they lied about what was available on the app. It might be ok if the ramen was as good as it used to be but it was vey bland ramen with just one slice of chewy pork. Fast track to the bottom of the ramen chain.

I was seated with a direct uninterrupted view of a lousy set of gas cylinders+general back room stuff in a room whose doorway any decent manager should NEVER allow be left able to be seen by any client seated in the restaurant. I ordered one of their superior sic offerings that had a nicer cut of pork belatedly realising I 'd set myself up for a VERY expensive ramen lunch indeed by coming here the basic bowl, without extras, was $24!!! ..I decided to go for broke have the $1 extras ,, ON TOP of the $24! . . they being just 3 slices of seaweed+ one so-called seasoned egg ?uh? +2 extra slices of pork. Thank heavens I went for broke..the dish was quite ordinary value-wise worth barely half the money asked. There are MANY places in Sydney charging far less yet delivering a far better ramen dare I say it , more authentically handsome/richly satisfying than what 's being served here...... Attentive thoughtful service sure...but my honest tip is : every first day of the month ...they serve a choice of one of two ramen for just $10 each....that in fact is all it is worth! that 's THE ONLY day you should ever go here. The ONLY!

Thin, watery broth without much pork flavour, the noodles were cool and did not blend well at all. The big slap in the face was the one, smaller than my hand thin slice of Pork Loin. This for $18 for a small bowl. For any more pork they would have slugged me another $5. Very minimal toppings in the bowl throughout. I was stunned at how average this was. Possibly the most ordinary ramen I have had anywhere. This is the third (and worst) time I have had such an average ramen here. Time to forgo Ippudo, there are so many better ramen places in Sydney now that offer reasonable size bowls with more toppings, flavour and consistency at a decent price.

We got a ramen each and popcorn octopus to share<br/ The noodles were chewy and aldente, just how i like it. Broth is rich but not too salty and the egg was very delicious. <br/ The drinks list is very extensive. <br/ The chashu was a bit fragile, almost lost my piece midway.<br/ <br/ The price, however, didnt justify the portion. The price was higher than average, but i wasnt completely full, also thought the ramen would come with bamboo shoots and nori, like others with similar price points, but they are add ons, and would be too expensive.

Super unctuous, rich, velvety, and utterly delicious. I will be back for the hundredth time next time I'm craving ramen.<br/ <br/ Ippudo Kuro: 9.5/10

The atmosphere is lovely, with jazz music playing in the background, and the staff is very friendly. The prices are reasonable considering the outstanding quality of the food.

The broth of Kuro ramen is different and has unique fragrant from the garlic and the spicy miso paste. Wagyu steak rice was generous in portion. The steak slices were juicy and tender. Service was quick and very friendly.
