I ordered the tonkotsu ramen with dried shrimp added and the broth was rich and full of flavor. If you love seafood, I highly recommend this ramen. If you prefer your ramen more plain, get the original tonkotsu. Both did not disappoint. I just wish they had a location in California. Their only U.S. location is in Seattle, Washington.

There's a electronic ticket machine in the front where you get a waiting number (and optionally, you can leave a phone number and they will call you when it's time). I was about 7 spots behind was seated in about 10 minutes. Of course I couldn't pass on the ramen in Ippudo. On the menu I noticed they had half portion options for the Shiromaru and Akamaru options, so I opted to try one of each ($42 HKD Shiromaru 1/2, $45 HKD Akamaru 1/2), and it was a fantastic decision. The broths were definitely the highlight. The shiromaru had a lighter broth where you can really taste the pork flavors from the tonkotsu broth. The akamaru had some black garlic oil, as well as a more spicy kick that wasn't too overpowering but transformed the tonkotsu broth into a more vibrant, powerful flavor. And eating them right after the other was a perfect yin and yang combination. The chashu was flavorful and had a good amount of pork fat but they were very thin slices and not a whole lot of meat. The texture of the noodles was good: thin but springy. Combined with the green onions, bean sprouts, and kikurage, it was very delicious. Portions are a bit on the small size (especially the 1/2 size options) but well worth the price. Highly, highly recommended!

This includes some new restaurants including the Ippudo. It originally is from Japan and has outlets meanwhile all over the world. The branch at Telford is bright, big and nicely decorated. Service is attentive and efficient. They have a lot of different food to offer, it's not all about Ramen. You can also get some deep fried items, stone pot dishes as well as salads. After 3 p.m. you even get grilled skewers. Ramen you can get in all kinds of variations, different noodles, ingredients and broths. The Ramen is al Dente and the broths I tasted yummy. The deep fried items are crispy, juicy and not oily at all. The salads are fresh and the dressing not overpowering. Try the fried rice as well, it is really good. Overall I found this Ippudo worth returning to. And it's good value for money. You can easily pay less than HK$ 90 per head.

They got a small bowl of yummy ramen, delicious fried fish cake, gyozas, salad, and a strawberry cream waffle dessert AND a Yakult which they loved. All for HKD$92. The Aguni Island Salt Ramen we ordered was full of flavor and quality ingredients - the staff said this was the ramen with the lighter broth. Finally the Tsukemen that arrived last was just OK to us. The ramen was much thicker, and served slightly cold; best part of the dish was the dipping soup which had tasty protein in it, but I would stick to getting their ramen in the future. Apparently all their ramen are handmade. The service was slow so be ready for that. The kids meals came out first and the adult's ramen came 10-15min later and we were so hungry the adults started eating off the kids' plates. The Tsukemen took so long to come out I had to follow up with the staff if they've forgotten the order, but they hadn't... it just took that long.

It's not their most recommended ramen, but it's still pretty delicious, especially their Pork. It just so soft. Mm... What I like most about this shop is that they're not joking around with their spicy level. For the noodle that I ordered it comes with their "Jigoku sauce" meaning "Hell sauce", it ranges from 0.5 to 3. Most people should be able to handle 0.5 spicy. Level 1 spicy kicks it up a notch where you kind of can handle it, but you'd need to drink more water. If you got level 3 spicy, you'd probably have a stomach ache from it's spicy content.

After having experienced hte…read morehooplah that was one of the most reviewed businesses in NYC's Ippudo (https://www.yelp.com/biz/ippudo-ny-new-york), it was only fitting I gave the HK version a fair shot. It's been a few shots now and for the most part, I've been content with all I've sampled. Ippudo might be in a household name in Asia, but the HK version certainly has its own specialties in what seems like a regionalized menu. There were a number of things I've never seen in NY or Japan but I suppose that's the beauty in visiting other franchise locations right? If only all global brands had this much variety. The prices are still $$$, but it's nice enough in here where people will still come rolling in. Firstly, the lobster ramen? This is likely seasonal and even a little weird. The lobster meat is tasty and while the presentation is on point, the broth does not complement the lobster at all. By retaining the shell, it forces the diner to eat both separately (i.e. removing the lobster and eating the noodles). Awkward sure, but HK'ers will definitely bite. Gone are also the hirata pork buns that have garnered a lot of fanfare and in their place, a vastly wimpier charsiu version that is a tad disappointing. They also have a happy hour that includes various skewers / izakaya pieces at discounted prices, along with frozen beer and a number of other items I've not seen in Ippudo before (scotch eggs anyone?). Someone tell the chef to relax on the chives for the gyoza ... they were practically buried in green. I still wouldn't put it past Ippudo to showcase some quality meals. The decor here is modern, the interior is clean, and the place is large enough to accommodate all kinds of party sizes. There is still the semi-cheesy Japanese welcomes from the staff, but I've actually encountered quite a few actual Japanese folks working here. And I've also seen a few of the HK'ers sleeping in the back room. Ippudo Corp: Your employees need a break.

So depending on what you want to eat, you will have to choose first where to seat. Not a problem but just spent 10min trying to understand the menu first in the lobby before choosing where to seat.(downstairs...) Now for the good stuff: - prices are not cheap but value is great. Tiger prawn, Japanese beef, etc. A lot of very premium items that they carry super fresh and delicious. Tenderloin beef melts in your mouth and the tiger prawn is just pure poetry. This little surf & turf got my bill north of $2000 but it was completely worth it. Many restaurants in HK will advertise on the menu the Japanese beef but when you want to order it, it is not available. This happens quite often and it is frustrating - grilled skewers were good but not great. Unlike yakitori-focused restaurant, it is not the only thing they do, so they are not amazing at it. The deboned stuffed chicken wing was excellent though. The vegetable skewers were just OK - 1 toro scallion roll was amazing - sake selection was good - cheesecake was good. not too sweet. - service was attentive Highly recommend this place and hope to return
