    I had googled to try to find an Ippudo near me and this is what it took me too which is a new concept from them. It wasn't bad but my experience started first off disappointing since my heart was set on something else. I did give it a try because it can't be that bad when it's the same concept right? And I was right it wasn't that bad but it didn't hit the spot like Ippudo always does. They basically have taken a really good ramen and fancied it up with ingredients like gold flakes to make it nicer. I know there are people that are thrilled by the fancier ingredients and everything but it wasn't for me. Im glad I tried it and you should too bc it is a food bowl of ramen and they have a nice pre-fix for lunch but it won't be my go to.

    This is the Maguro Luxe Box it is $48 and comes with nine pieces of tuna sushi, 3 Akamai (Lean tuna) 3 chu toro (medium fatty tuna) and 3 otoro (fatty tuna). So this is more of a proper Japanese restaurant/ramen spot than sushi place they don't have a ton of offerings like a nigiri set but this was really good for the money my only gripe would be that there didn't seem to be a huge difference between the chutoro and otoro. It's not that fentanyl, melt in your mouth 99.9 percent pure o-toro. But this is a good deal. They also have a salmon set and offer rolls as well. I like this idea get it again. Perhaps also with a yellowtail roll which they sell for $13. But I'm going to give gogyo a solid B.

    I don't think I've been to many Ippudo establishments but was excited to check out their new elevated ramen restaurant, Gogyo. It definitely has fancy calming aesthetics with the hanging plants, dark furniture, and dim lighting. Food: -apps: fried maitake was good with a thin and crispy tempura batter and made better by adding their pepper powder. The kaarage featured very juicy and tender chicken thigh meat, but wish there was a little bit more crunch. -kogashi miso: The miso flavors were bold, smokey, and salty. Broth was thick with thinner/flatter noodles. -kiwami tonkotsu: Solid tonkotsu broth flavors with a mix of seafood and pork features. The addition of gold flakes on top was aesthetically pleasing. -shoyu tsukemen: I appreciated the generous serving of noodles. The dipping sauce was very pork forward and I liked the heavy involvement of onions. The touch of citrus flavors was helpful in balancing the salinity and cutting the richness of the broth. Drinks: -hoji hallball: probably the best out of the three I tried. Simultaneously tea and whiskey forward. -the gogyo: their version of a manhattan but didn't seem to have anything extra to make it specifically their version -land element: didn't really taste much besides the cognac; the earl grey flavors did not come through at all. Overall I enjoyed my meal but nothing really stood out or impressed my party of 3. Food came out quick on a weekend night and staff were polite.

    The newest concept from Ippudo. We stopped by before a show nearby. They had just "pre-opened", so no longer a prix fixe menu from the soft opening. They have a bar/lounge area in front and the table seating in the back. The table seating is a mix of booths, regular tables and a large communal table with a nature decoration in the middle. We were sat the communal table (the booths were full). It was a bit dark at certain spots. They have a small hand towel that they wet for you to wipe your hands before eating. They had a basket for us to put our stuff in, which I appreciated, since the chairs are wide, which makes it difficult to put jackets over. The Shoyu Tsukemen was very soy sauce forward. The waiter informed me that you can ask for chicken broth if it's too intense. The noodles were cooked well. I would have preferred chicken (or some other meat) over the smoky pork, since it just added more saltiness to an already salty broth. I would have also liked more key lime, because I could not taste any change in the broth after squeezing out every last drop from the one wedge. I had a taste of the Kogashi Miso Ramen, and it had decent tonkotsu flavor, but no smokiness from the charred miso. It also has tiny bits of pickled ginger, which I was not a fan of. The Jasmine Iced is regular jasmine tea, so that was good. Overall they have decent ramen, but not worth the price. It was not anything special. I'm really not sure what they're trying to do with this new concept.

    I've always enjoyed the various Ippudo chain restaurants throughout the city. I was intrigued when I saw they opened this new iteration, Gogyo in Gramercy. A quick note: despite this being the highest priced bowl of Ramen (The highest I've seen to date) I ever experienced I will try to review this as objectively as possible and not factor in my feeling that this is all overpriced. The space inside Gogyo is an upscale lounge vibe - very dark with a lot of natural elements informing the space. There is a large communal table in the center with booths and tables surrounding. It's an inviting space to slurp on some ramen without the austerity of a place private counter space Ichiran for example. From the dining room, the kitchen is visible through a line of wood posts. "Our signature creation, five miso blends charred at 572℉ (300℃) awakening a smoky aroma and deep flavor." is the description and impressive marketing for their Kogashi Miso Ramen. I was curious, but had my reservations about their intent. Miso is a probiotic. When it is added to food it is generally when its not boiling or had a chance to cool a bit so to not kill off the benefits of miso. Charring miso at 572℉ (300℃) seemed like a silly idea to me, and in tasting this ramen my assumption was correct. I didn't get any of the smoky aroma or deep flavor - my bowl looked like a black oil slick and had the same mouth feel. This richness almost bordered on a tsukamen dipping broth, which is unpleasant in a bowl of ramen. Besides salt and oily slickness the other flavor that overwhelmed the broth was pickled ginger which was unexpected so it took me a min to identify it. The tamago was flavorful and seared pork belly was tender. The ramen noodles were more towards a katamen style bite (al-dente, firm). Overall I did not enjoy this with the negatives outweighing the positives. I thought the fire-grilled scallops were a good addition until I tasted them - they come topped with tobiko with 3 to an order. Unfortunately they were pretty cold so another disappointment. Gogyo is another reason I have abandoned the Ippudo chain in recent years. I feel the quality throughout the restaurants has declined as the costs increased substantially. Its all relative, if you feel they provide a good value for the food then by all mean enjoy! Also note they are currently in their "Pre Open Episode 2" as they call it so maybe they will improve, but for me I know of too many other places to get much tastier bowls of noodles.

    This space is so beautiful, large and high ceiling with tables really spaced out. It's a cute spot even for a date night. The menu only has the package option; it's pretty pricey even for NYC for jus small bowl of ramen, even with appetizer and dessert added it's still one of the most expensive ramen in town I had the tsukamen, the flavor is just ok, the plating is really cute. But flavor was a little too much with so many different flavors. Their signature ramen also taste pretty strange. The service is really slow, there are two person serving and we waited for a long time to get the food, and long wait between each course. It takes about 1.5hrs to get out of there. A lot of wait time in between . Definitely not recommend if you are in a time crunch.

    3.5 stars If you're looking for an upscale ramen, then you've found the spot. The interior is moody and dark but you can also tell a lot of detail has been put into it. We stopped by Thanksgiving for lunch so it was quite empty, and we were seated at the communal table. Overall, the food was good. We ordered the kogashi miso and the tonkatsu. The miso was a little toooo charred but the tonkatsu was very nice and the crisp adds a great burst of flavour. Would definitely be interested in trying their tsukemen next time, but if you're just looking for a solid ramen without breaking the bank I'd go elsewhere.

    They have the best ramen in town. Indisputable. However the sashimi isn't as great as I hope it is. Sweet radish was warp inside the sushi that makes everything too sweet. Mackerel is too fishy and the aftertaste remains. Tempura is part of the high highlight for the evening. Service and the environment is great.

    A group of us was looking for a lunch spot on a Sunday. I came across Ippudo on Google maps and was confused when I saw Gogyo in lieu. Turns out Gogyo is part of the Ippudo group. The map isn't updated to say Gogyo. In any case they had seats available so we decided to give it a go. The space is really gorgeous - I didn't expect it at all. The bar at the front is nice and the dining area - which is at the back of the restaurant was very impressive. The restaurant offered a prix fix menu - $38 for an appetizers, a bowl of ramen and a gelato. There were loads of ramen to choose from and extra noodles were charged at $5 each. Our group ordered different types of noodles and all were very tasty. I did make a mistake where I accidentally tipped out a lot of pepper on to my ramen bowl as I didn't know how the container worked. The waitress saw what had happened and promptly offered a fresh ramen bowl. I politely declined as it was my fault but she went ahead anyway which was just exceptionally nice and thoughtful. It really showed the restaurant cared. The whole ambience and experience here was really great. I look forward to coming back here again soon, this time I will avoid the pepper garnishing.

    Part of the Ippudo group, Gogyo is known for their Kogashi Ramen. They have locations in Hong Kong and elsewhere but this is their first US location. They currently only serve a pre-fixe menu for $38 as it's their soft opening. The pre-fixe included cucumber and bean sprout salad. They were fine, standard accompaniments, with a hint of spiciness. The Kigashi Miso was delicious, noodles well made and chewy, broth was rich and flavorful, pork belly beautifully cooked and egg deliciously yummy. Definitely the highlight ramen of the place. The Kiwami Tonkotsu was decent, still with a decadent broth but with more variety in toppings (including pork and scallop). It's a bit more truffle flavored. The restaurant itself is nice and service is decent though a bit less attentive.

    tsukemen toppings
    Karen S.

    I love tsukemen, so when I hear of a place opening that serves tsukemen; say no more and I'm there. I dropped by on a random friday for lunch during their soft opening period and was seated promptly with only one other table being serviced. You could still kinda smell that new wood furniture smell and you can tell they really put alot of thought and money into their interior decor as it was really nice. I ordered their tsukemen (surprise surprise) and my stomach left super happy. Noodles were perfectly chewy and the right thickness for the thick hot broth. Appetizer it came with was delightfully refreshing for the palate. Will be back to try their hot ramen!

    They don't sit incomplete parties, even if you're the second group to arrive to an empty restaurant. I have been here previously when it was another Japanese restaurant. The cold dishes came out rather quickly, which one would hope, but the ramen itself was a very long wait after the cold dish. It felt like close to 30 minutes before I ate the main course. I thought it was okay, like didn't blow my mind. If I would have to wait to eat this, I definitely wouldn't have been very happy. I would come back once they bring more items to their menu. I don't want to write them off completely, but if I have to wait to try their other stuff, I probably wouldn't do it I don't like to wait in line for food and if I do, it puts a higher expectation and I didn't have to wait for this food, so giving it three stars.

    Met up with friends at Ippudo's newest concept - art of ramen. As per their website, the name is balancing the 5 elements (wood, fire, water, earth, and metal). The menu states the cycle embodies restraint, harmony, and equilibrium. They opened in late September 2025 and still in their soft opening phase. As per the hostess, the restaurant will have their grand opening at the end of the October 2025. In the front of the restaurant, there is a bar and waiting area for you to wait for your party. Your full party needs to be there before the host will seat you. Be careful of the low sofa, it's so soft that it's difficult to get back up. The menu is limited and prix-fixe at $38. - It comes with 2 kobashi (small dishes) - our dishes are cucumber salad and a spicy noodles. - Choice of 6 ramen - Dessert: chocolate, lemon, milk (vanilla) The cucumber salad was delicious. The noodles were a bit too spicy for me. I was curious about their signature dish charred at 527°F (300°C) soup. It was tasty though the broth was a bit greasy for me. I decided on the lemon gelato, which is refreshing. Surprisingly, I was so full from the whole meal. One thing the music in the dining hall is pop rock though it's extremely loud in the bathroom (ear splitting). Go check it out for yourself.

When you walk into the restaurant, you pre-order at the touchscreen to the right of the entrance and later when you're seated you give the order receipts to the server at your window. The food at this location is obviously going to be pricier than it is in Japan (came out to around $60 for 2 people), but it is SO worth it as you can't get Ichiran anywhere else besides in Japan.

For a restaurant, especially one serving customizable ramen dishes, with a allergy list post on the wall by the counter where I sat at B1, a little flexibility or empathy toward food allergies would go a long way. The interaction felt dismissive and unwelcoming, which made the overall dining experience uncomfortable. Customer service matters just as much as the food, and sadly this visit fell short. The smashed cucumber was good. Spicy dumpling was good. Ramen broth was light, not as rich or flavorful as others. There are so many good ramen places in NYC, this Chinese Ramen place has lot of room to improve.

    Cozy no-frills ramen bar near the theater district. I enjoyed a delicious, balanced bowl of Paitan…read moreramen ($19). No complaints, except that I guess I prefer Tonkostu (pork bone) over Paitan (chicken bone). I appreciated sitting at the bar to watch the lone ramen monger stir around the next batches of broth, hand-torching some chashu; boiling, whip-drying, and gently nestling my noodles, then manually laying out the toppings. The dish feels real, personal.

    Toribro Ramen exceeded my expectations because the pork is even better now than it ever was at…read moreTotto Ramen! If you loved Totto's spicy paitan ramen like I did, look no further because Toribro has what you need. I only wish they offered the super spicy ramen with chili oil on the side like the good old days, but the standard spicy packs a punch too! The regular size ramen was plenty, but don't let that stop you from trying the decadent Mega with all of the toppings. The food came out hot and fast too, so my table of two was in and out in less than 45 minutes easily. The menu is pretty straightforward with few choices that are all delicious - a perfect spot for the quintessential quick bite and a fair price to match. Vibe-wise, this place is a true hole in the wall with steps leading down from street level into a basement. The inside is packed and intimate so I'd come with a small party such as a friend or a date who's into good food. There was no line when I visited on a Sunday at opening time, but it got packed quickly so be prepared to wait on the sidewalk or arrive at noon. As someone who's moved out of NYC years ago, I made an effort to visit Totto Ramen every time I come back and now Toribro has taken that spot in my itinerary.
