“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.”

“Ippudo, vastly different than the Japanese branches and of lower quality than other tonkatsu ramen joints in NYC. It’s a 5/10 for me tops.”
