Now a combination of pork and chicken broths, this one’s definitely much better than their previous one. This is more traditional tantanmen. Love it and will always keep coming back for this!
Super plus to the amazing food is their equally amazing staff. 😊 My son and I went here two Saturdays in a row, I think. Will come back again next week!!!

They now have set meals for lunch
What I look forward the most on ramen aside from the richness and heaviness of the broth is the noodles. Definitely one of the best noodles so far. Thin, right hard crisp and light. It doesn't make you feel full. Pork is tasty. I love their ebi tempura roll --not 'fishy' compared to other's. Only thing, though, I didn't like is that it's hard to move around the area; it's not child-friendly because tables are close to one another. Unless you don't pay attention, you could clearly hear people from other tables talk.
Ippudo has always been my number one ramen joint in Manila. With its light yet umami packed broth, I could easily finish a bowl. And after weeks of not having a decent Japanese meal, I figured that it's time to end it and indulge in my favorite Shiromaru Tamago. One of the things I love about Ippudo is its impressive service. I used to frequent its Uptown Bonifacio branch and the staff never fail to give me a pleasant dining experience. And I'm glad that same is true with its Ayala Malls Vertis North store.
When I heard Ippudo is also open in the Philippines, I told myself to try. So far, the difference between the taste of JP and PH is the richness. JP has more authentic taste than PH, but taste was, it is up my alley. This is a good place to have a hangout with friends, though pricey, the food is still worth it. Overall, the place is good and the food is just right for Japanese food lovers.
Had dinner with the in-laws. Had to wait for a table for 8, but the wait wasn't long. We ordered the Shiromaru Motoaji, Shiromaru Tamago, Shiromaru Chasu, Karaka Special, Yokohama, Akamaru, Gyoza, Karaage, and Okonomiyaki. The ramen were very good. Not salty and not too rich. Service was very good. Request for wavy noodles and egg was accommodated. Price is slightly high.
Once again Ippudo doesn’t disappoint on a rainy night in Manila. I ordered the Yokohama Iekei for p499 and the torched salmon roll. The Yokohama Iekei is Ippudo’s take on the classic ikei style ramen from Yokohama. It’s a unique combination of Paitan and Ippudo’s signature tonkatsu broth. With thick noodles, shoyu tamago, loin and torched belly, Japanese spinach and cabbage.
The salmon roll was also delicious.
Interior design: Nice
Service: very fast 👍🏼

Living in the Philippines has no longer made us strangers to monsoons and torrential rains. And on cold and wet days like this, the craving for something warm and soupy hits. Enter the quintessential ramen. It's like a hug in a bowl— both heartwarming and deliciously satisfying.
One great place to get your noodle fix is at Ippudo. This Japanese shop has been making waves across Asia, and has sprouted numerous branches across Metro Manila. It's #WorldFamousRamen that you can easily get your hands on, and you don't need to go far.
The Akamaru Shimeji is one of my constants. This black garlic ramen promises warm, flavorful soup with springy thin noodles and a plethora of mushrooms and spring onions to go with your thinly sliced meat. And being such a garlic lover, I made sure to add in more (thanks to their conveniently placed garlic and garlic cracker). You can even pair this with their Nanban Karaage— deep fried chicken bites coated in a sweet glaze, which is best enjoyed with their creamy tartar sauce.
