AI-generated summary
The still gets recommended constantly, especially the akumaru modern with its rich tonkotsu . The pork rib is the sleeper order. People say it slipped after the company sold, swapping pork belly for pork loin and cutting toppings while prices went up. Some bowls now run close to $29.
“My husband and I are never returning to ippudo again. We were still hungry and paid 60$ for just 2 ramen and a noodle refill. Ever since eating ippudo after a super long time, I’m still thinking about how much it has changed: small portions and high price.”
