Ippudo is the best place for ramen. We've basically stopped chasing all the new ramen places popping up because they aren't better than the classic. The tonkotsu broth here is the best, very flavorful without having to be too salty. I do like the wavy noodles, which unfortunately they don't give with the Shiromaru classic. But I did really enjoy the wavy noodles with the miso ramen. The newer places have broths that have a new (and often lighter) twist, but for us the classic heavier pork broth is the most flavorful. read more

It was ok--broth was fine, not the best, and many of the ingredients were subpar. Buns were only ok as well. Service was friendly. Price is about the same as other "Ramen Shop"s I prefer in the area, but Ippudo gave less in amount and quality. We ordered the sampler of buns. Veggie was just a mushy potato croquette. The pork was advertised as "melt in your mouth" but it took considerably more work than that, though the sauce was good. The chicken was rather awkward--a chunk inside a bun that didn't bite easily. When we ordered, we asked if these were easily splitable. Our waiter said "I can bring you a knife" What we got was not easily splitable, even with a knife, Soup: both is pretty ok, but not the best. The bowl is narrow at the bottom and wide at the top, so it seems like you are getting a lot, but I think the amount is significantly less than Ramen Shop and others. The toppings were mediocre. The bamboo shoots were unpleasant in taste and look. The mushrooms were rubbery. Bathroom grade: B. It's mostly clean. Single-serve, all gender room. The bottom line for me is there are other ramen shops within a block that I have not yet tried, and I certainly would before returning to Ippudo. There are other shops within a short drive that are reliably excellent, and I'd hit those first. read more

Went here with my best friend after a movie, and it was the perfect ramen experience. The ramen - filling and delicious. It brought tears to my eyes (and snot to my nose). The water service was excellent. I stayed so hydrated. The napkins are sturdy. Service is also excellent. Tens across the board. My only complaint is that it was not clear if the people at the table next to us were on a first date or not. Many conflicting signals: they were talking about business, but they ordered sake and looked a little shy? We both got the Karaka Spicy. It comes with most of the spice piled in the middle, so you can set some aside if you want a less memorable experience. Also, the edamame is delicious, and so is the chicken bun, though it looks more like a taco than a bun. Can't wait to come here again! read more

Ippudo has been one of my top ramen spots since the first time I had it in New York. Then, I followed it to Japan, Taiwan and now Bay Area. It delivers consistency, reliability and quality no matter where you go in the world. You know that bowl of hot Japanese ramen from Ippudo will be waiting for you in the same quality. That being said, the portion size and price does vary greatly. I am particularly disappointed at the size and price in Bay area. They don't really give you much noodles but charges double that price. Nonetheless, I visited Ippudo because I had this craving for comfort food and my son is a huge ramen eater. I do hope they will open more Ippudo in East Bay outside of Berkeley because ramen is such an easily acquired taste for all ethnicities. read more

Ippudo ramen noodles are the best. I recommend getting the tokyo wavy thicker noodles with kata (firm). Kaedama extra noodles for under $2 if you want to share with your partner. They are famous for their tonkatsu. We got the akamaru modern with with aka chili paste and garlic oil. Super flavorful and their onsen tamago egg went amazingly well. Recommend adding extra chashu pork belly as well. Their appetizers came really fast. We were counting for fun and found that we got 24 shishito peppers in our appetizer. Very generous and flavorful (salted, and spiced). For Chicken Karaage, we got 3 big pieces of chicken with small salad and 1 shishito pepper. Crispy and juicy inside, just perfect. The service was also great and efficient. Still the best ramen in the area. Tastes like Japan! read more

Ippudo is one of the biggest ramen chains from Japan and have multiple locations around the world. I've been to this Berkeley location numerous times and it's always been a solid spot for good ramen. This time around I went with the shiromaru classic and akamaru modern. Both were great as usual. The thin noodles were cooked well and coated with the tasty broth. If you're looking for a classic tonkatsu ramen bowl, go with the shiromaru classic. If you're looking for something with a bit more punch and flavor, go with the akamaru modern. Ippudo also offers an abundance of appetizers like shishito peppers, various steamed buns, karaage and more. Drop by Ippudo if you're looking for consistent ramen with multiple options. read more

I don't know why there are so many low reviews of this place. I discovered Ippudo while living in NYC, and I think the ramens I've had in the Berkeley location are comparable -- very rich, intensely flavored broths with toothsome noodles (depending on the specific ramen). I've always loved the ramens here. The apps are totally fine, but I really come here for the ramens themselves. Service has also always been maybe a little distracted at times, but always friendly for me. read more

It was a rainy Monday eve, on a street with active construction and still relatively full with mostly my Asian brothers and sisters. I would say this is a legitimate Ramen spot, regardless who's serving it. The Takoyaki had a nice flavor. I will add to my list. BB read more

My friends and I were in Berkeley celebrating one of my friends birthday. We were looking around for places that were highly rated and decided we'd come here since we were all craving ramen. You'd think because we were a party of five there'd be a bit of a longer wait but we were sat down immediately and our food was our pretty fast as well. I got the akamaru modern with a side of pork belly. Overall, the food was very tasty. Staff was friendly and kept checking up on us to make sure we were finding everything alright. read more

Ippudo Berkeley - Akamaru modern with a side of pork belly - Ramen Near Me - Berkeley, California

Personally the SF location is better but food is still great. They did have a larger menu than the Sf location.

WHEN: Saturday @5:45pm What it seems, as long as you arrive before 6pm, there is no wait. There is a limit of 10 parties indoor and about 3 tables outdoor. There's an option of being placed on the waitlist via Yelp if you are 15-30 min away. Parking was decent. When I got there there was about 3 metered spots right in front. I suppose with it still sort of the pandemic (May 2021), and it's a tad early for dinner, there's not that many people out for dining. Before going in, they check your temperature and you order from their menu online (they have a QR code on the table to scan). Dress warm because it's cold inside--they leave the doors open I guess to constantly air out the place. The place seemed understaffed with just 2 staff members waiting the tables and it was a "full house". It's been so long since I've eaten here so I don't remember much. Here's what I ordered: AKAMARU MODERN - $14.80 A more bold translation of the original pork broth, thin noodles topped with Ippudo's secret "Umami Dama" miso paste, pork belly chashu, cabbage, sesame kikurage mushrooms, and scallions. Even though it labeled as spicy, it really isn't. There's maybe a slight subtle chili flavor but even a big wimp like me can handle it. The thin noodles was a nice change, and with all the bean sprouts and mushroom, it gives it a nice texture. I love the amount of scallions in the bowl which makes it refreshing. As for the pork belly chasu, some parts was tender and some were chewy, but since it feels like there's never enough of it, the egg makes up for that. It's a decent sized bowl and the broth was rich and tasty. ONSEN TAMAGO - $1.50 This is an additional topping of Poached egg. I forget they offer 2 kinds of eggs: this plain and wonderfully super delegate and perfect poached egg. The other is the seasoned egg you normally see in most ramen. I thought of getting the poached egg since there's already lots of flavor and a good amount of salt in the ramen. This was probably my first ramen experience where we don't feel rush to leave, haha! It took awhile before we received the check and it's probably because they may be understaffed. It was nice to eat out again, and I was happy to have quality ramen after over a year of hiatus due to the pandemic. read more

Ippudo Berkeley - AKAMARU MODERN $14.80 + 1.50 for the poached egg - Ramen Near Me - Berkeley, California

My boyfriend loves ramen so we come to Ippudo pretty regularly. I've tried several of their ramen noodles but the Akamaru Modern is probably my favorite, just because I like the flavor and ingredients more. However, I don't think you can really go wrong with anything they serve! Their customer service has always been great--swinging by to fill up our waters, asking if everything is alright, etc. They're efficient and have rarely gotten our orders wrong or mixed up. We used to dine in here all the time before COVID, but since then we've ordered takeout more. Can definitely say that takeout just isn't as good as eating there in person. Yesterday, we decided to swing by and eat in-person outdoors, where they have 1 table and 4 chairs. It was a great experience (i.e. the staff were just as attentive!), but it was a little windy so we were afraid leaves/bugs were going to blow into our food. Overall still a fantastic experience! read more

It's been a while since visiting Ippudo - my last visit was Dec 2018. To me, they were always a 3 when it comes to the taste. The service is always a 5 there - maybe because I don't require water refills. I get thirsty maybe 30 minutes after I leave the restaurant. They no longer offer firmness options for your ramen - a huge bummer for those that like it al dente. The broth is alright. I really enjoyed the piping hot broth though - the highlight of the meal for me. It was around $50 for 2 bowls of ramen and extra noodles on the side including tax and tip. We only came here tonight because Kiraku was a wait out in the cold - it was freezing tonight and the wait would have been an hour. When we came to Ippudo at 6pm, it was almost empty. By the time we left at 6:45pm, the restaurant was full, but no one waiting to get seated. read more

First time at Ippudo in Berkeley and I'd come again! Noodles were perfectly cooked, broth was very tasty, nice options for toppings. Got the akamaru modern and partner got the yuzu with pork chasu instead of chicken. Next time we'll ask for no additional garlic in the broth. Staff was very accommodating and they were definitely short-staffed. Very different vibe from the NY location. It's a good bowl of ramen with the convenience of just walking in. Recommend! read more

A little over $50, not including tips, for two people. Not the ideal price for Ramen, specially when the broths were either too salty or tasteless and the $12 buns were done in two bites. Berkeley is more expensive compared to their other locations. Earned a star because at least the server was nice and patient. I wouldn't go out of my way to go there again unless they're the only ones open and I'm very hungry. read more

My favorite ramen spot in Berkeley! There's usually a wait that goes out the door, so arrive early. The interior is whimsical and feels very Japanese. The hosts shout greeting in Japanese as you enter, which is an endearing touch to the ambiance. The pork buns are so good! The bun is very soft and fluffy, while the pork is thick and tender. The light mayo binds the two together in a perfect bite. If I could only eat these without getting ramen, I would still be happy. The ramen soup is very flavorful, but not greasy or heavy. You can choose how soft or hard you like your noodles. They hold soup very well, making for a satisfying slurp. The pork slices in the ramen are thick and tender, and the egg that comes with is jammy and holds soup well too. All in all, a very solid choice for ramen. I would go back and recommend! read more

I'm definitely a ramen fan but even more so after eating here! Both the veggie Akamaru and miso tonkatsu were DELICIOUS! The broth was so much tastier than most places I've been too, extra garlicky which some might not enjoy but I loved! We also ordered one of each bun, and liked the shrimp and veggie ones the best. The shrimp was especially tasty, very crispy, and the veggie was super flavorful. They are a good size, can definitely share one bun between two people. On top of great food, the interior is very nice and calming, I can't wait to come back to try more! read more

Pleasant, helpful, friendly, and attentive. Ippudo owners, please recognize her in some fashion! The ramen was excellent. I could've used more spice, but hey. It was plenty of food, the noodles were fresh, and the ingredients were plentiful. The yuzu beer I ordered was divine (ooowh, dare I say that?). I HAVE to go back (I HAVE been back at this point).... read more

My friend and I came to Ippudo on a late Friday evening and were quickly seated. The gyoza was delicious and the ramen was too. We ordered the shiromaru classic and the akamaru modern. The pork broth has a great depth of flavor and isn't overly salted, hallelujah (this has been an issue at other ramen spots). The noodles were perfectly cooked. My only complaint is that they are a bit skimpy on the chasu. We were given very small and thin cuts of pork belly. Other than that, the ramen portion itself was generous and the service was good. I will definitely be coming back! read more

Even though Ippudo was less than a block from my work for years and years, I associate it solely with a very particular lunch our bargaining team enjoyed (or tried to enjoy) here while we were in the middle of hammering out our first contract. I think I came once after that, and many people started talking about it as ramen restaurants got trendier and trendier, but slurping delicious noodley broth from here will always remind me of 2018 and Erin (?) being worried about forgetting her bag in the compartment at the bottom of the chair--she worried about it so much that she did end up forgetting it and had to go back to retrieve it. The food is very good. The service doesn't really exist. Once you have your food, you're supposed to eat quickly so that you're not wasting their valuable real estate on food you've already purchased from them so why do they care whether you're comfortable? That's the distinct impression I got, anyway. Most diners seem happy to ignore the silent-but-palpable pressure to finish. Not me, but I appreciate others' ability to be strategically oblivious. The prices seemed high, even in 2018. I can't imagine it's gotten much better. It's a nice enough place, and it can feel fun--except for that staring. read more

i've been coming to ippudo since my college days, and they've never missed. however, i was particularly impressed when i came here a couple weekends ago with my friend for dinner. it seemed like they expanded their veggie ramen menu from my college days, so we were excited to try something new off the menu. since it was rainy and cold, we decided to both order the spicy karaka veggie ramen. the food took no time to arrive, and we were met with a big piping hot bowl of spicy ramen. my mouth is watering thinking about how much we enjoyed this ramen as i write this: the creamy soy broth with the vegan bolognese spread evenly for every bite, and the twinge of spiciness when sipping the broth was just the combination we needed to recharge us on a saturday evening. we couldn't stop talking about how much better ippudo got since the last time we came to the location in college, and are looking forward to coming back and paying this establishment another visit. it's always exciting to find a ramen place that offers more than one veggie ramen selection! read more

Food is def overpriced for a bowl of ramen that only comes with the basic and a pretty small serving. It cannot be lived up to the ones I had in Japan, but I truly enjoyed mine! Tonkotsu broth was rich. Ramen was cooked to a good firmness. The scallion, bean sprouts and woodear mushroom added freshness and texture to the bowl. Pork belly was thin, but okay too. We also ordered takoyaki, which can be better. It was pretty soggy and deflated when it got to our table. Probably will continue my search for other ramen places in the area before coming back again. read more

Damn... this ramen tastes NOTHING like the ramen from Ippudo NY! I really got my hopes up. In the end, Ippudo fell short of my expectations. Like, really short of them. Ever since I tried Ippudo NY, I haven't been able to find ramen as good as theirs. There are a few that have come close, but none have been able to duplicate the high-quality ramen of that place. When I found out that there was an Ippudo in Berkeley, I knew that I had to give it a try. It took me a while, but I finally made it there. I knew that it wasn't going to be a good as Ippudo NY, but I couldn't believe how lackluster their ramen was. I stopped by on a week night and it wasn't too busy. I was seated right away and given a menu. I already knew what I wanted but decided to look over the menu anyways. The first thing that I noticed was that the Akamaru Modern didn't come with a soft-boiled egg or corn. Womp womp. It wouldn't have been a big deal, but both items costed an additional $2 each? Say whaaat? Why are y'all over here nickel and diming people like this? I kinda can't have my ramen without these items, so I got them anyways. The ramen came out fast... like almost too fast. There was no steam coming out of the bowl. Sure enough, it was lukewarm. I had originally told my server that I wanted my ramen spicy. I guess they don't really make it spicy? She recommended that I add sriracha or chili paste. Hmm... okay. When my ramen arrived, it did have a little bit of chili paste in the middle. It didn't really do much though. Took my soup spoon and dug it into the broth. So, so, sooooo disappointing. The broth barely even had any flavor. Can you imagine... lukewarm broth that's practically flavorless? As if that wasn't bad enough, the noodles were not up to par either. I went with their signature noodles which are made al dente style. I could not believe how overly chewy these damn noodles were! Waaay too firm and it just wasn't appetizing. The chashu was very fatty and didn't have much substance to it. Basically, this bowl of ramen was pretty bad. I mean, I've definitely had worse but I expected so much more from Ippudo. Honestly, I wanted to be nice and give them 3 stars because the staff was really sweet. But hell.. who am I kidding? $20+ for a mediocre bowl of ramen?? I just can't do it. Not planning on returning anytime soon. read more

As a former NYC resident, I fell in love with ramen after eating at Ippudo NY in the East Village. They have honestly set the standard for all ramen spots for me. I live for their Karaka Spicy. Upon my move back to California (both SoCal and NorCal) I never really found a place that truly lived up to my beloved Ippudo NY. However, after being away for almost a decade, I kept seeing people dining at an Ippudo Berkeley. Could it be my beloved Ippudo was just 30 minutes away from my hometown? I was desperate to check them out and see. We were a party of four, all first time visitors, and came in on a Friday night around 6:00 pm. We lucked out and just beat the crowds as we were seated promptly upon arrival. The hostess was extremely welcoming and service from then on was exceptional. We were quickly attended to and our server frequently checked in us and made sure our first experience was memorable. I ended up ordering the Cal Ramen. I placed pressure on myself to try this Berkeley exclusive dish, and perhaps, that may be where some of my disappointment came from. Our server hyped it up, so I went with the recommendation and 'exclusiveness' of the dish. Although very tasty, it was lacking the magic I was expecting. The broth was not as flavorful as I had hoped, my egg was overcooked (and I ordered an extra one that was also overcooked), and although I ordered my noodles firm, they were not quite there. I did come in with high expectations hoping they would live up to their New York counterpart, but left feeling like they had missed the mark. I would give them another try and order my favorite Karaka Spicy to make that comparison. On a positive note, Ippudo Berkeley was one of the better ramen spots I have tried here in the Bay Area. I might even contend they are in my top four list of ramen restaurants. Service was outstanding which also justifies my rating. I am still on the hunt for my #1 ramen spot in the Bay Area, but would dine at Ippudo Berekely again to give it another try. read more

Today my sister was with me running errands and she'd never been to Ippudo. Found a parking spot right across the street. Just luck. At first she didn't want to wait in line, but I assured her a 2 top would not be a problem. A five minute wait. Typical of Berkeley, a older haole woman passed us by and said, "I'd never stand in line." Communist. Jeez. Inside the store is pretty small. Much tinier than San Francisco and the locations in New York. There's no bar and communal seating. Since there's not much space, it's pretty loud. Just not a cool vibe. My sister wanted to try the Truffle Fries. Not really different from the fries at Habit Burger. The ketchup was delicious. A curious thang! The menu had a few bowls exclusive to the Berkeley location, however I just got the same Akamaru Modern (extra firm noodles) and kae-dame. Shared a bit with my sibling Service was okay. Not quite the attention you expect to receive at Ippudo. Had to ask a server a few times for stuff. To be fair it was busy and I counted only three staff on the floor and one host. I'd just had a great service at Ippudo in The City last Friday with my friend Angela M, so I'm a little biased. Yes, parking is terrible in downtown. Too bad the new udon shop is open for lunch yet. I would have rather gone there. I don't think I'll be back to this location. read more

The one star goes to service, because the staff was nice. Now.. onto the ramen. I think this is the first ramen spot I've ever been to that put "back fat" into their ramen. It was seriously gross. My kids were picking it out because it was disgusting. Imagine clumps of fat, I would have thought it would melt or get smaller with the hot broth, but it remained the size of a grain of rice. I tried the karaka spicy ramen, and the flavor was unappetizing, to say the least. I'm not exactly sure what was in the spice, but it was seriously not good. I remembered waiting in line for 2 hrs in NYC for this chain, and I swear I don't remember them ever serving their ramen with "back fat," but they need to stop. read more

Ippudo, you know. So let's face it, there is a reason why this place always has a long line. And let me tell you, this place is worth the wait. So bring a jacket and be prepared for a wait. If you get lucky, then shooot, enjoy your food! Ippudo originated from Japan so their ramen HAS to be delicious, right? Others might disagree but everyone is entitled to their own opinion. It was my first time here, because I was always so hesitant to line up and wait outside, but I am glad I finally tried this place out. We were a party of 4 and luckily didn't wait too long. We weren't seated at a table, which was fine, because the bar table sat exactly four people and we were seated right in front of the kitchen so we got to see all the magic that happens there. Everything I tried was recommended to me by my boyfriend's cousin in law. So we started off with their Ippudo Buns; chicken and pork. And o m g... the BEST bao buns I have had in a while! The chicken- cripsy, tender, juicy, and flavorful! It had that Orange Chicken crisp with a San Tung chicken wing taste (#IYKYK, if not, it's my favorite chicken wing spot in SF). At first it may look like the chicken won't be enough, but you will for sure wish you scarfed the whole thing down after one bite of this bao bun. Jk, take your time and savor each bite. I don't eat beef or pork anymore, so I'm not sure how the pork tasted, but judging from my boyfriend's eyes, they probably tasted amazing. So the bao bun itself- soft, warm, and a liiiiiiitle sweet. Some bao buns actually stick to your fingers, or maybe even the meat itself, but this one did not! I TOTES RECOMMEND GETTING THIS AS AN APPETIZER! Ramen: First, I absolutely love how you have a choice of how you want your ramen noodles to be cooked! Soft, medium, firm or very firm. This was the first ramen place I have ever ate at that asked me, so best believe I was in awe! I got my noodles cooked medium and damn... perfection!!! Thin noodles that swirled perfectly around my fork, tasted fresh and captured the flavor of the broth very well. I ordered their Karaka Spicy Ramen; which is their Tonkotsu broth with an added kick to it. And yes, the kick will kick. So if you aren't a fan of spicy, I don't recommend you ordering this bowl for yourself. My boyfriend ordered their Akamaru; which tasted "bold" (as stated on their menu). Both broths were creamy and lived up to their description on the menu. Sadly, not every ramen comes with an egg. Presentation of the ramen- worth a picture! P.s. Don't forget to get some hot sake with or without a glass of cold Sapporo. Well, please be 21+ first. P.s.s. Be sure to let the hot sake cool down just a little before you take a shot. Lol. read more

I came here for my brother's birthday and was shocked at how much I loved the food. The only ramen I've ever had was ramen 101 and now I can't go back. The ramen was flavorful and filling. I only ate about half of it and took the rest to go. The bao buns were out of this world. The veggie one was unreal. The cold sake was good, we meant to get hot sake but it's okay. We'll be back. Everyone else was also really happy with their food. There were quite a few different palettes at the table and everyone was able to find something they would eat. We also ordered the shishito peppers, the calamari balls (hella good), and the wings. I can't wait to go back. read more
