Good thing they have good service - you can read their menu ahead of time and order right away once you are seated. And the menu is only a small selection - choose a ramen base, toppings, thickness of noodles. I chose the black squid version, with thick noodles. The broth overall is very strong and thick. A lot of flavours hitting the palette. The noodles were done to the right level. Inside the restaurant is very small, probably around 15-20 people. Pricing wise was around $15 CDN.

Even the ground meat was covered in squid ink! This was a really good ramen, even if I did feel kinda thirsty afterwards. The noodles were Chinese rather than the Japanese ramen, which was ok, but it would really be better if they had the latter! The pork belly was so fat and thinly cut though, oh my gosh. You could add pickled radishes and veggies from little jars on your table (one was spicy and the other was very salty)-- both were delicious. You share that as well as any more spicy seasoning and communal water. My bf got the Red King and it wasn't as spicy as he thought it would be, and it is more chili oil than actual chili powder. His soup was salty as well. I quite like this place for its novelty ramen. If you know what you like, you can also customize your ramen!

While we waited, we see a big cloth hanging that tells you the restaurant is from Japan's Michelin Recommended Takano. The kids meal was the most impressive. They ate well that night! 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.

I really wanted to try their limited edition sake kasu ( only makes 5 bowls a day) but I was craving for seafood.

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. I'm probably overreacting, but you could try it out yourself.

Their menu is similar to Ramen Nagi. You can choose between regular, black (umami), red (spicy), or green (basil) broth flavors. They also do a rotating special ramen, which was lobster today. You can then choose the type of meat, spicy level, vegetable and noodle type/texture. We got the Black King, which has nice squid ink and umami flavors. Level 3 spicy had a mild kick, but wasn't overwhelming. The lobster broth ramen was also super flavorful, although the lobster meat itself was a bit tough. Overall, a solid place to come for a flavorful bowl of ramen with options to satisfy everyone except if you are on a diet.

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.
