Ramen Noodles Served Hip

Ippudo

Why locals love it

When you walk into Ippudo, It feels like a club with its hip and trendy vibe, modern Japanese decor, and the long wait for a table. The wait is worth it for the tapas style appetizers (try the hirata buns), tasty cocktails, and, of course, their flavorful bowls of ramen.
