I was there since day one and have seen their ups and downs. No restaurant is perfect but what makes them different is how they make up for their mistakes and learn from it. As a ramen-addict, I have tried most, if not all, ramen places in the country and this is the only ramen house that I keep on coming back. I am very particular with the taste, texture, aroma, presentation and service. As i love anything spicy, I always order their Karakamen Special. Whenever I order something new, I usually ask for the ingredients, proportions and how it is being prepared so at least I know what i'm getting at and to set my standard on the dish that i have ordered. Presentation - Nori shouldn't be falling, the chili beef, leeks/spring onions should be evident as it adds color to the bowl, the chasu should be in a perfect circle (though torched, it shouldn't be dry). Texture - very hard thin noodles (my preference), chasu is still soft though its torched and due to this it adds depth to the broth but still not overly rich. Aroma - you really cant resist the smell of a perfectly prepared bowl as it tickles your appetite as it goes to your table. Taste - though they use the same broth as their base, with the added ingredients mixed up in the bowl, it has created a perfect balance of spiceness and richness of pork. Service - i always feel welcome whenever i dine in this restaurant ( i always frequent the Robinson Ermita branch where they take good care of me always by rachel, mel and the whole team. Rockwell and SM Megamall did the same thing with me also. Most of all, they always listen to what you have to say to improve their work or at most exceed their best). Let me end by saying, this is THE BEST RAMEN HOUSE IN THE COUNTRY.

These are the only dishes I order in Ippudo because I am not into spicy food. It's worth the price!

Whenever I go to Ippudo Philippines, I'd often choose their Akamaru Ramen— a Pork tonkotsu ramen with black garlic, as well as the usual trimmings of noodles, char siu and spring onions.
But this time, I switched things up by ordering their Karaka Ramen. This spicy variant comes with thin wavy noodles (which looked just like instant noodles), slices of pork belly, and a special mix of spicy ground pork in miso plus spring onions— all swimming in a pork tonkotsu pork. The spiciness was mild, nearly negligible for me, but that's on a subjective basis.
I did though add more garlic cause I wanted to fill the void with some tangy garlicky flavors. And call me strange, but did you know that it actually tasted even better when you add some vinegar in it? That sour acidity really brought out the flavors of the ramen (though it could still use a touch of heat— easily remedied by the chili oil they serve on the side).
And the Gyoza? Let me tell you— it may look small, but these potstickers come with tons of meaty flavor. Plus, I just can't get enough of their sour-spicy sauce. Yum yum yum! 💕
Super love ko ramen sa ippudo. Ito lang yung di ko pinag sasawaan na ramen. Ang sarap grabe lalo na yung tantanmen. Tapos nag add pa ko nung pork belly.
Had ordered their shiromaru special with medium as the firmness of the noodles and it comes with pork loin and tamago. I must say I was pleased and surprised with my order as it exceeded my expectation. It wad good and immediately finished my bowl of ramen. The noodles were great, so is the broth. The tamago egg melts in your mouth and so is the pork. I loved it! Service was also pleasant, they trained their staffs well to be courteous and hands on to the needs of their customers. Overall satisfied and kudos to their team!
This is our go to resto in rob manila. We absolutely love their ramen—the shiro, akamaru and the karaka. They all taste excellent. Their soup base is just right, not too creamy, not too salty. The meat is perfect. We always have this “just right busog” feeling after having our lunch or dinner here, not the “nakakaumay” feeling. Another favorite is the beef ishiyaki rice. The mixture of sweetness of the sauce and the sourness of tomato complement each other. The service is excellent too. Will always come back here, definitely.
Just an update, we dine here yesterday, unfortunately the tables on the center were placed by small individual tables. The tables are too narrow that ordering more than 2 dishes will make the table too crowded that you cannot eat comfortably. But the food still tasted awesome.

It was my first time dining here at Ippudo and definitely not my last. The servers were so attentive and friendly. Upon entering the restau, the server accompanied me to my seat and immediately gave the menu. They asked me if it was my first time and I said yes. They recommended to me their new mushroom ramen with tofu. I was a bit hesitant to order it because I don’t like tofu. But since it was my first time, i trusted my guts and hope that I can finish it. I asked if it’s okay to separate the tofu because I don’t think I would eat it and they said it’s okay. I also asked for chili oil because i like my ramen spicy.
I didn’t wait long for my order to arrived. The broth was flavorful and light. The noodles was perfectly cooked (medium), and the veggies were crunchy. I tried eating it with tofu and I loved it! The tofu added texture to the ramen and it didn’t affect the flavors of the food. I finished all the 2 slices of tofu which I didn’t expect. Definitely good for you hungry tummy.
You’ll enjoy dining here not just because of the food but also the ambience. It has a fancy ambiance and even though there are a lot of costumers, you’ll not feel crowded and disturbed.
Shout out to my server, Ms Rochelle. You’re so nice!
First time to use zomato and thanks for a friend who recommend ippudo! Had a great dinner with girl friends. Menu is great. Ramen is so good. We tried the new mushroom ramen. Mushroom is so yummy!! Ambience is good. In addition to a nice meal, we had a delightful, friendly and efficiency server jhon. Jhon accommodate us very well he assured that we had everything we needed . Kudos! Great job!! Will be back definitely!!
Attentive staff. They offer to refill your water automatically. They keep on checking on their customers. The food is good. The ramen we ordered was perfect. Too bad they don't offer free soup unlike other Japanese restos.
We ordered shiromaru and akamaru ramen. Serving size of its ramen was large. maybe that's the one factor why the price is high. The soup is tasty.
