IPPUDO

The operation here is poor. There were plenty of empty tables inside the restaurant, yet customers were left waiting in a long queue without being seated. We (2 of us) were asked to sit at bar table when there were at lease 3 tables avaliable that we could see. We saw an empty table for four (Table A), but the staff insisted on cleaning another table (Table B) instead for group 1 to seat. It took them more than five minutes to clear Table B, even though Table A had been available the whole time. To make things even more frustrating, the next group in line was eventually seated at Table A. (Right corner of the pic: empty tables inside, the table on my right also empty. With a long queue outside) To top it off, the couple sitting next to us was halfway through eating a bowl of rice when a staff member approached them, said it had been served by mistake, and took the bowl away while they were still eating. Even the lady had already eaten some of it. It was shocking to witness and showed a complete lack of professionalism and customer care.

I absolutely loved my visit! The pork classic ramen was incredibly delicious 🍜, and we particularly enjoyed the perfect hard texture of the noodles. The atmosphere was outstanding 🤩, and the food was simply amazing 💯. Service was also very good. I highly recommend it! ✨

Kids love it here, but we adults mostly come here for the vibes and hospitality of manager Bell and friendly staff Cassey .. we are regulars here , even though char siew is not so nice these days and other sides became pricier , Ippudo you’re lucky u have a great manager here who is so friendly with kids and can manage peak periods .. great job Bell! Separately I hope Ippudo management can have more reasonably priced sides that are of quality ingredients. Tempura was made from the frozen vanamei type that we can get from supermarket !

Have been visiting Ippudo since their early days at Mandarin Gallery and Mohamed Sultan when the menu was still very ramen-focused. Their ramen is still consistently good, but the much wider menu today feels like it has taken some focus away from the ramen itself. The tonkotsu broth, while still rich and flavourful, doesn’t quite have the same punch and aroma that once made Ippudo the go-to place for tonkotsu ramen. Our usual orders are the Akamaru or Karaka-men, both richer and bolder with the added paste in the broth. We also always ask for the noodles to be cooked firmer, as the default doneness tends to be slightly soft for our liking. The char siu remains reliably good—tender with light charring. Besides their classic pan-fried gyoza, the crispy corn is another favourite with nice spicy, savoury notes.

Used to enjoy ippudo back 10 over years ago, but today's bowl was shocking. Just look at the amount of fats floating in the soup and on top of the charsiew. I didn't enjoy my ramen, and I couldn't slurp the soup as it was way too fatty. Apart from the fact that their lunch set was quite value for money, I would think you can give this chain a miss, or at least this outlet. The takoyaki that came with the set was nice though.

This 2nd review is for the ramen with miso which turned to be salty in a nice way. A repeat for sure. Service was good and delivery was super fast, within 5 minutes we got our two bowls. Had the ice lemon tea which was good too. A repeat in near future for ramen. 2025 December Review #2 ========================= The classic ramen broth (Shiromaru Motoaji) is pretty good. Chashu pork is very soft. Presentation is near perfect. The salad is tasty with the dressing, also well plated. The truffles fries quantity is lacking however the taste is nice. Food was dished out fast. A repeat for ramen if in the area. 2025 October Review #1

Decent ramen place for a quick lunch . Menu nothing too fancy. Love the broth of the Bonito tonkatsu ramen . Crispy corn ...can pass . Soso . Should have just grilled the corn and avoid the tempura crispy on the top . Ice cream doable to satisfy a sweet tooth post meal. They serve cold water complimentatry.

I’d like to give a special shout-out to Cassey, one of the wonderful servers at Ippudo. She is always so friendly, kind, and helpful, and what I appreciate most is how lovely and attentive she is towards my kids. She always makes us feel welcome and comfortable whenever we dine here. We always enjoy our meals at Ippudo, but having Cassey around makes the experience even more enjoyable. Her warm personality and genuine care really make a difference. Thank you, Cassey, for always making our visits so pleasant! We’ll definitely keep coming back — and it’s always nice to see you when we do!
