This is an exceptional ramen restaurant. When we visited on Tuesday night, it wasn't crowded, and we enjoyed excellent service with our meals arriving promptly. The broth was truly remarkable.

What michael s dislikes about Ippudo:
However, just take a look at my seating situation. There’s a huge air conditioning unit blowing directly down into my bowl of soup. Can you guess what happened next? Water from the AC dripped straight onto my food. Is this some kind of joke?

Ippudo is also famous for its side dishes, and my favorites include their okonomiyaki, nanban karaage, and deep-fried gyoza. While all of these are excellent companions to ramen, I believe the okonomiyaki stands out the most with its hearty texture that perfectly complements the smooth, rich broth of their ramen. I must admit, while writing this review, I realized how forgetful I was—I forgot to take pictures of my akamaru ramen and my friend’s karakamen! Oops!
The ramen here is quite tasty, and the restaurant is spacious and well-maintained. However, there was no central air conditioning during our visit—just a few machines and fans near some tables. I really appreciate a place that serves a perfectly soft-boiled egg, and I also like that you can choose the firmness of your noodles.
The BEST ramen in the world's most empty Ippudo!! The reasons for the emptiness are 1) this one is very new, 2) the area is still somewhat deserted thanks to a ton of constructions going on, 3) who eats ramen when it's 95f 38c outside with high humidity... Since it's best ramen it needs no introduction, but some tips: 1) Whatever you order, don't forget to add the signature fresh garlic on your noodles, 2) Unless your teeth are bad, order your noodles hard and I'm sure you'll like it!
Ippudo has introduced a new ramen dish called Clam Chowder Ramen. Being a bit traditional, I usually prefer my ramen to be simple and unadorned. However, this unusual creation intrigued me enough to give it a shot. In hindsight, it's probably one of the biggest ramen-related regrets I've ever had. This bowl seemed to attempt to incorporate everything – it combined tonkotsu broth with clams, potatoes, grated cheese, and bacon, and even had a drizzle of truffle oil. In fact, I can't recall ever enjoying a bowl of clam chowder with truffle oil. When I finished my meal, the server approached me looking concerned and asked how it was. I wanted to be polite, so I nodded and said it was good, but deep down I wished I had stuck with one of my three beloved original Ippudo flavors.

What on earth is going on here?

The kids also thoroughly enjoyed their ramen and gave it their stamp of approval! We had just returned from Japan too.

I loved it here. we ordered ramen (for die,) maki and gioza. amazing, so authentic cost. the ambiente was really modern. the limonade was great. a little expensive, but I guess it was worth it. I'm sure it's coming back.
I was never a fan of ramen until I tried their Tantanmen. It is incredibly rich and flavorful. The other ramen options are consistently good with rich, flavorful broth, generous portions of pork, and perfectly cooked eggs. While I may not be an expert on ramen, I would confidently say that this place is likely in the top 5 for any ramen enthusiast in Makati or BGC.
Excellent top of the line ramen as always. Keep on coming back to this place. My favourite the karaka special Shiromaru special and the pork buns. All a must try.
Karakamen is my staple order. Try their pork buns and pork okonomiyaki. Will always comeback whenever craving for ramen.
So much love for ippudos' ramen. I was also at sm megamall ippudo. sira diet tuwing kakain sa ippudo, hahahahaha. but they have healthier version naman and 100% délicieuse!
