IPPUDO San Francisco

This restaurant has an impressive variety of vegetarian ramen options, and the portion sizes are very generous. While the ramen itself was flavorful, the broth was especially creamy, which really stood out. The starters were excellent, and the corn dish was surprisingly good. But honestly, the cocktails stole the show—super well crafted. Overall, a great spot and highly recommend, especially if you like rich, comforting ramen and good drinks.

The ramens were delicious living up to Ippudo’s reputation. The portion was good but we ordered extra toppings and grilled broccolini. What I enjoyed the most was the Matcha shaved ice. The matcha cream was delicious.

Wednesday 6:30pm Party of 2, seated right away • Service was quick - servers were very polite and prompt, bordering pushy. • Menu was very clear to understand • Ordered Yuzu Shoyu and Akamaru Modern ramens with Takoyaki as an app • Takoyaki is the best I've ever had, better than ones from the street vendors in Japan. I'm not joking. Extremely crisp outside with a perfectly soft fluffy inner. Ask for their mentaiko sauce on the side - makes it easier to control sauciness (duh) 5/5 • Yuzu shoyu was extremely flavorful and fresh. Perfectly salty, light broth, and very fragrant, especially with the yuzu zest. Noodles are thin and perfectly al dente. Ordered extra noodles bc the broth was so good and fresh 4.5/5 • Akamaru Modern is a stick-to-your-bones type, great for chilly weather. Very

Somehow remember this spot to be much better. Really expensive now for very small portion size. Got the Karaka spicy and it was ok. What you would expect from any decent bowl of tonkotsu ramen. Would have preferred the enoki tempura to be served in larger bites as well, but it was tasty nonetheless. Very quick service, and fine decor. Overall, it's a nice place for a business lunch I would say, but not really worth it otherwise.

The drinks, service, and noodles were outstanding! A friend recommended this spot so decided to try it out. We were seated at a communal table, water already there, and replenished frequently, and then we placed our orders. In about five minutes, our drinks arrived, and just five minutes later, our food followed—super fast! The noodles were incredible: packed with flavor and served in a generous portion. I also liked that the drinks were festive and fun. Highly recommend visiting if you’re looking for some of the best Noods you’ll ever have! 🍜😋
