Ippudo Westside

Amazing pork buns and really good ramen . They don't let you take leftovers home or to-go orders. Dine-in only. Weird rule, so order wisely. Their lunch special with salad & rice bowl is a great combo.

Love this place. The pork buns give me life. The Akamaru Modern is my go to Ramen choice. The staff is friendly and efficient. Expect a 30 to 45 min wait for a table. Its worth the wait!

If it's your first time here, you can't go wrong with the classic ramen - hearty, with amazing taste and texture. If you like spice, get a side of Bakugan, but beware- it packs a punch!

The best ramen you can have outside of Japan! I had the Miso Ramen and it was very delicious but I would recommend the Akamara or the Spicy one. Make sure to get some Buns as a starter they are 10/10

The tonkotsu broth was one of the best broths I've ever tasted. I had the akamaru modern, but I'm sure any of the ones made with tonkotsu are comparable! If you're a ramen aficionado, don't miss out!

Love, love, love Akamaru Modern. You have to put extra Kakuni in. So good! I experienced shorter wait time at West Side location both time I came here. it was no wait yesterday! (3 pm Sunday)

Pork Buns are definitely where it is at. You can't go wrong with any of the Ramen 's. They are all good! Don't be scared to upgrade your ramen with some braised pork and an egg !!!! OMG so good!! Read more

Amazing. I love Ippudo so much, tried it in London and now in NY and both were similar yet different experiences but both just as tasty and great.

Arakamu Modern ramen is a standout. Also recommend the Chicken buns as an appetizer . The wait is usually shorter than at the East Village location, grab a drink at the bar near the entrance.

Pork buns . Shishito peppers . Ippudo house salad . Karaka-men spicy ramen with egg . During dinner , you can put your name down with the host/ess and they will txt you 5 min. before your table is ready.

Oh ramen , how I love you so. This location is less crowded than EV. Get the ramen , any ramen and get the spicy sauce ! Pork buns are also great and the staff is super friendly . A slurping good time!

This was my first time ever having ramen and I loved every second I was here: the waiter , the buns , the cheese ball, the ramen and even the bill, yes. Definitely will go back next time I am in NYC.

Easily the best vegetarian ramen I have ever had! I don't normally go for veggie ramen (I'm a chashu fan) but this sesame broth sounded amazing. So. Freakin. Good.

I really enjoyed the Shiromaru Hakata Classic. And Brooklyn Brewery brews them an exclusive Kaedama Ale : a delicious not-so-heavy brown ale on draft . Worth it!

Altho’ Ippudo still reigns supreme among ramen spots w/ its broth & my fave bowl, Akamaru Modern, its strict no take-away (even w/ leftovers) & no extra-garlic-oil-on-side policies are turn-offs.

Amazing. Simply amazing. Wagyu Beef appetizer melted in my mouth like butter. The ramen broth was very flavorful and balanced the flavors nicely. The staff was knowledgable and very attentive.

Amazing ramen place ! Broth & noodles are phenomenal, staff is pleasant, and willing to help you with the menu. Try the Kaedama ale specially made for Ippudo by Brooklyn Brewery while you wait 4 a seat

Another Japanese import in NYC. One of the best ramen joints in the city in this reviewers humble opinion. Karaka’men ????????. Always a wait if 45/60 minutes so out your name down and come back later

Drum Heart bowl - black sesame spicy pork soup served w pork belly chasu, spicy miso paste, crispy onion chips , cabbage , cilantro , and lime , finished at the table w Rayu spicy sesame oil . DELICIOUS!

Pork buns , plum sake , modern ramen just amazing!

Much shorter wait than other loc. Pork buns are a must. Loved the torishio ramen - very light soup base w/ a shio leaf flavor. ask 4 scallions & spicy paste. If u want more traditional go 4 classic.

BEST ramen around!!! The broth might be the best I've ever had and the noodles are to die for. Get the pork buns to start and I'd recommend the spicy chili ramen .

The atmosphere in this place is great! We ordered the pork buns and let me tell you, they are to die for. The ramen is amazing and the drinks are top notch. Definitely recommend!

Great beef buns (they had an amazing sauce!)and you cannot go wrong with the classic ramen . I also liked the atmosphere a lot!

Same great Ippudo, half the wait as the east village . Pork buns , akamaru ramen , and spicy tonkatsu all fantastic.

Must-go spot: the ramen was very good, but the starters are the real stars here. Not one of the plates that I saw flying around looked anything less than delicious. The tako tempura I got was bomb.

Excellent ramen !! All of them are good. Don't forget to get the pork belly or chicken buns to start - so good!! Expect a wait but it usually moves faster than they state .

This place is incredible. Love the ambiance and the ramen is straight fire. The Akamaru Modern Ramen is absolutely out of this world.

Ramen is 10/10. I like the Akamaru modern. Broth is very rich and flavourful. Usually requires a wait, especially during prime dinner time

So impressed with the service and menu knowledge at this location. The preserved egg in my ramen was perfectly cooked, and make sure you order the spicy chicken katsu bun . Hot, crispy and delicious!

The pork buns are among the best I've had anywhere. Karaka-men ramen was excellent and just spicy enough. Terrific service and reasonable prices for the location, quality, and style.

Get the pork bun and cucumber with sesame oil to start. All the ramen is fresh so you can't go wrong with your choice. Subtle but umami flavors.

The Hakata Classic is extraordinary - porky but somehow subtle all in one bowl. Add an egg and make it a lunch set with eel rice and salad .

You can’t go wrong with the Ramen . The classic is by far my favorite but any of the specialty ramens are amazing.

I love the atmosphere. The appetizer special had a bit of a mishap so I have that sent back to the kitchen and the manager took it off my bill even after they sent me another one so that was nice.

What to Order: Akamaru Modern ramen , with miso paste, pork chashu , cabbage , sesame kikurage, mushrooms , scallions , and fragrant garlic oil .

You will like the atmosphere there, lively and perfectly okay to go solo. Try the pork bun and add spicy sauce to your ramen !

The current house special is a giant bowl of NOM-NOM. Very kind staff in the whole operation. Strong execution in the kitchen mixed with efficient, quick service .

A true 10 out of 10 restaurant . Delicious, authentic , reasonably priced, beautiful, good service , good location. Bravo!

Eggplant buns are amazing, and the roasted peppers appetizer is another star. Vegetarians might be disappointed with the Ramen , looks beautiful and tastes good, but few noodles in a shallow bowl.

The noodles at the West Side outpost of NYC’s popular, word-of-mouth ramen darling are just as good as the ones at the East Village original. Tip: Order the Akamaru Modern.

The karaka men (spicy ) ramen was rich and flavorful, noodles were thin with a perfect hint of firmness. There was a little too much oil in their soup base but overall a great meal.

The ramen is good, no news. Pork buns are also great. The lighting is too bright , service is hushed, but overall the experience was fine. I wouldn’t be happy if I had to wait long to be seated, though

All Ramen are amazing ! This was the best place ever to eat Ramen , Buns . Strongly recommended ! Don't miss it.

Totally lived up to their hype. Food came out quick and was so good. Service was AMAZING. They text you when your table is ready, so you can roam around the area while you wait.

Akurmura modern and pork buns . Been to alot of ramen places in the city and still consider this my fav ramen and pork buns . West side has less wait if you get there before 6

The ramen was great but the real standout was the sesame cucumber appetiser . If I could live on one dish for the rest of my life this would be it. A must for cucumber lovers

This place definitely lived up the hype. Super nice, lively and energetic staff with great service. the ramen are amazing.

I've been to a few ramen places in the city and this place by far was the best...plan to have a bit of a wait, but i think it is worth it.

Most authentic ramen , just like in Japan. Pricey for what it is but you won't be disappointed. Much easier to get a seat than the downtown location too.
