I tried the veggie ramen here and what surprised me the most was the very delicious broth! It wasn’t oily like some broths. Nice to see veggie options at ramen restaurants!

Honestly I expected something more from Ippudo. The broth was indeed good but it didnt blow mi mind and I was let down by missing toppings (like menma), which I found curious since I order one of the most expensive ramen. Despite all, I give 4 star also considering the fast and good service. I doubt I will come again.

Great vegan ramen, love the agedashi tofu and the crunchy gyoza, goods sake selection and welcoming staff.

Decent ramen. Over-hyped. Good and not the best.

As usual ippudo is just basic ramen you know. I have never liked ippudo anywhere in the world. I have tried in many countries but you know its just okay all the time nothing special. Nothing beats ichiran in my opinion. Not recommended pretty much the same all over the world. Rubbish service with basic food. I thought its gonna be better? But nah lol.

LOVE the soup! Feel like back in Asia!! The dumplings (Yaki, pan Fried) are small but taste good and the pastry is thin!

Ramen is ok, not amazing and left quite a lot to be desired. Stock is ok, but the pork and eggs are nice! But then I am here for the ramen. That’s why I give a 4 star.Food 7/10, service 8/10, ambience 8/10, value for money 7/10. I would say nothing really special.

Very rude staff. We were 4 and getting a table for 5 on Monday night, because 1 friend is joining us later. They made us wait outside and did not let us start before our 5th friend comes in…Then when the friend came and we got a table indoor we were rushed out of our minds to order. When we did the waiter rushed us mid-meal to stop everything and pay immediately. It was only 21:30…Too bad. 1 star for the food though.

Excellent service by our waiter Hugo, felt very welcomed and the setting was comforting, the location was great and the food was absolutely delicious, all the rest of the staff incl what we assume was the owner or head chef was very polite. Delicious food, if you like Japanese cuisine - you need to try this restaurant!!!

Not sure if it’s Brexit or the lack of drivers, but the portions were TINY.For nearly £10 I was given a kids bowl with rice and one chicken breast (katsu).The staff were amazing and very professional.If they don’t sort out their pricing or portion, I’m not really thinking of returning

Really great ramen, rich and creamy broth with a choice of the firmness of the noodles

If you enjoy the peculiar services of getting pushed around, talked down on in a dry and rude manner, and be told this is all “policy”, come visit this ippudo.We were a group of 4 not let in for about half an hour sat outside in cold because a fifth person had not arrived yet. other parties of 5 had entered before us. we were ready to order for all but the waiter was pretty dry and rude repeating their policy. Once fifth arrived, we had to wait another 15mins. Turns out it was a table for 4, with an extra chair. We sat and had 5 mins to order, not told the kitchen was about to close earlier, rushed us to get food. At payment time waiter came in and made us pay immediately middle of the food, we asked if we could finish first, he insisted it had to be done immediately. Not ok.

Staff and service was great. Food portions however were not - honestly the smallest donburi Ive ever had. I got the spicy karaage donburi, my husband had the katsu. Mine had about 3 actual pieces of chicken, husbands had absolutely no katsu sauce and the bowls were kids size.The age takoyaki tasted great but were clearly made and left sitting there for ages because they werent fresh when they arrived. Nothing tasted bad, just not worth the money.

The food here is absolutely wonderful! The only reason I gave 3 stars is due to the service. When we sat down it took someone almost 20 minutes to come take our order, then no one came to check on us the entire time. We finished our beverages half way through the meal and didnt have anything to drink from then on. Then to finally get the bill, we had to literally stop someone after waiting another 15-20 minutes since the completion of our food. They were not anywhere near as busy as the lack of service made it out to be.

Great noodle from Hakata Japan. Super!

I just love this place for their right mix of spices and flavours. It was my first point on checklist after lockdown opened. I always have Veggie Ramen there being a vegetarian n its absolutely delicious. Quantity of one Ramen is perfectly enough for a meal.

Dropped by on a whim. Great service. Ramen were some of the best Ive had. Lots of sake on offer to compliment the meal. Will be back.

Wonderful experience with excellent customer service. I especially enjoyed the egg which was cooked just right, to the perfect texture. I asked for firm noodles which was like slightly softer than al dente, so I would have preferred extra firm, but thats just my personal preference. I would definitely recommend this restaurant.

I love this place! Its absolutely delicious and one of the best ramen spots in my opinion. Ive been to the Ippudo in Sydney before and I think this one is better!

Everything was fine and comes out quicklyreasonable price and nice lunch meal deal

Perfection！very lovely ramen staff very friendly. You probably need to wait a little bit.

Really salty soup taste! First time and 2nd time Ive been there but still the same taste bit more salty...

High quality Japanese food. A small but good selection of drinks and a good menu. Theres outdoor seating and they take serious COVID-19 measures; they ask you to sanitise your hands before entry and also check your forehead temperature.

I didnt know how to use chopsticks at first which is a little strange considering i went to an authentic japanese restaurant but I asked the waiter for help and he was calm and considerate and a brilliant teacher on the topic of how to use chopsticks. I wanted to tip him some extra cash but at that time there were card only. Very quick service and most important of all, tasty food

The decor and atmosphere arent brilliant here, its an odd shaped building and its crowded without being cosy, but the ramen is the expected standard. The classic tonkotsu is great. The London specials usually arent as good as the classics on the menu but I was impressed by the veggie ramen on the latest visit, which was very savoury and with good depth of flavour for a soup without meat. They serve decent sencha and houjicha tea in a pot big enough for two people.

Definitely my favourite ramen restaurant in London. The offer variety of starters and they are all delicious. The broth of the ramen is with good depth of flavour. The noodles are fresh and you can choose how you like the texture of the noodle (hard, medium and soft). If you’re a Japanese, you would be happy to find at least one staff there who is fluent in Japanese to help you with ordering. You may need to line up to get a table sometimes but it is totally worth it!

Taste good 👍 I recommend it if you want to a little taste of Japanese food

Amazing ramen with a very rich broth and handmade noodles. Perfect capture of a Japanese ramen that has a slight westernised adaptation. Quite pricey for the ramen but definitely recommend for the taste and quality. Staff were quite busy and can lead to delays in orders and collecting bills. Staff were very nice and apologetic for delays, and their service was amazing. Defiantly recommend to try as a top quality ramen place!

Delicious ramen and other options e.g. bao buns

Tables are too closed together! Food is good as per previous visits but not rushing back due to the lack of space.

Ippudo is delicious.Noodles so yummy, broth so tasty.Its not cheap, but its a very large bowl and completely fills you up.Cant wait to come back.

My favourite ramen restuarant in London. perfect everytime and the bao buns are superb

Ippudo is always so so to me, regardless of wherever Ive tried it. So you aint missinf out if you havent tried ramen from here. Shoryu is better. Only came here because Kanada-ya was closed so yea. Also, 2 stars because one of the staff with short blonde hair has attitude problems really. boyfriend ordered the sunmer special dipping ramen with the large portion. So large noodles, but with small portion of the dipping sauce/soup. Clearly not proportionate so my boyfriend almost ran out of the dipping sauce before even touching half of the noodles and he asked for more so he can finish the noodles. Staff said the best they could do is to top up with hot water but the sauce will be diluted. alternatively, bf can order thw whole set again but only for the sauce. So, they are asking him to pay full price of the summer set for the dipping sauce. Poor man wanted more sauce thats all...... Staff are willing to compromise with the quality of their food than to give extra dipping sauce. Even the table next to us was laughing at our demise. Im not very picky but the solution to the boyfriends problem is a no-brainer. Just dont understand.....

I love the veggie ramen at Ippudo and this branch is probably the best one Ive visited. Great service!

Amazing service and even better food.Positive experience, will definitely come back.

Yummy food at a good price. Efficient table service. Good covid protocols

Really good noodles and service. Always busy! Went there twice for noodles during out three night stay in london. Loved it!R&K

Always been my favourite ramen place all round the world, this London branch has the authentic taste just like the ones in Japan and other Asian branches. Kudos!

Steaming hot, top notch Ramen 💪🏻

I’ve always really liked the Ippudo ramen chain around the world since the noodles are really thin and you can choose how hard it is. I recommend getting “hard” noodles.The cucumber appetizer is nice and refreshing to pair with your ramen. Sometimes the soup gets too salty for me so it’s nice to have something lighter to go with it.If it’s your first time there, i recommend getting the classic pork broth (it’s usually on the first page). It’s what they’re most known for.

Great tonkotsu ramen. Reasonably priced and reliable.

By far the most authentic and delicious ramen in london; A MUST GO restaurant

Been in the same restaurant in Hong Kong and Japan and I was happy to say that the quality was not decreased at all, although wouldve loved to have a bit more toppings like Japan but still the quality was superb.

Visited the Ippudo in Tokyo Central station last year, this London version did not disappoint with standards of Ramen to a similar level!

Had Ippudo in Manila, Singapore and now London. Always good! Taste similar regardless of locations.

Nice to find comfort food in LondonGreat food for Sunday brunchWalk over to Primark for shopping after the meal

The best ramen and tako Ive had in several years since my last visit in Japan. All guests are welcomed in Japanese and the cook apologized for the long waiting time. I recommend the spicy ramen and there is a great list for sake as well. Definitely worth a visit to warm up if it is cold outside.

Decent food selections and servings are worth their price. Ambiance is better than most ramen houses around London.

Yes it is a chain, but easily one of the best ramen places in London. It is slightly high end in terms of price however its not far off to other places and its absolutely worth it.The karakage fried chicken is tender and crispy, the buns melt in your mouth. Ippodo offers a variety of ramens, which you can choose how well cooked your ramen is from hard to soft. My ramen was cooked to perfection, the broth was creamy and flavoursome and well paired with the right topppings. Really recommend.

Very good ramen, a bit expensive considering you can get better tasting ramen, cheaper within 5 minutes walking distance but the portion size & atmosphere are excellent, worth a try if you want spend a little more

Really nice stop on the ramen scene in London.We know its a franchise - But the standard is very high indeed.I got their Tskukemen which was fantastic.Dipping soup was thick creamy and full of flavour. The noodles were firm thick and mopped the broth up well.I also tried their karaage and the gyoza.Both really good side dishes.The chicken had a subtle ginger flavour infused through it and fried to perfection.The gyoza were little bites of crispy heaven.I enjoyed it so much I went back two days later and ate the exact same meal again.Staff were really friendly and helpful - when I asked about a garnish sauce - he explained it was pepper and yuzu and told me about brands I could buy for home use.Really nice place with really well trained informed staff.Loved it

The ramen was delicious and the staff are so lovely. Definitely recommend although wouldnt order the baos again

The best ramen restaurant in London definitely check it and try the pork buns youll be amazed.

Standard you’d expect from Ippudo and this shop feels/is more spacious than Charing Cross

By far the best ramen I’ve ever had

The best ramen franchise in London. It is the closest example of ramen in Japan. It sticks to traditional style and basic senses for ramen which is quite difficult to be seen at other places. Do not forget to order fresh, well-maintained draft Asahi beer with ramen. Expensive price is the only problem.

The bets Ramen in London.

The place is nice and modern looking. The tables are a bit cramped and the place is a bit noisy with conversations, but still a nice place over all. The service was nice but a bit slow and the food came a different times.But the food... the food, was freaking delicious!! One of the best ramens Ive had in London. Strongly recommended. Also pretty inexpensive.

A ramen chain which is known for their good ramen around the world. Firstly, it seemed like staff didnt want to take our order as we sat there trying to get someones attention. This is not like the Japanese... and it wasnt even busy. Finally a waitress came over. To be honest there were too many options for ramen and they all sounded similar, I werent too sure what to choose. After we ordered, it seemed to take longer than usual for our food to arrive. We had to chase it and eventually got told that the kitchen didnt receive our order. They were apologetic and didnt charge us for our starters, but we were there for over an hour before we finally got some food on the table... And because they were rushing to bring our food out, our mains arrived before we finished the starters.Food wise, the dumplings were good and the spicy fire chicken wings were the best wings Ive had to date. They were succulent and the sauce was just spicy enough for me to handle. I probably could have done 20 of these! The pork belly were too fatty and not very nice (baring in mind Im such a fan of pork belly, so it was disappointing). The ramen was ok. I havent been here for a while, but remember them being better.Wheelchair access: The dinning area is on one level and I was told there were accessible toilets, which were downstairs but you could take the service lift to get there. Apologies, but I didnt bother go check after waiting so long for the food so will have to take their word for it.It was good of the staff to not charge us for the starters for their mistake. Overall, the food was ok but a bit more expensive than other ramen chains.

Chain Japanese Ramen restaurant ! The taste is nice. There is a lunch deal like ordering ramen or rice, you can get Gyoza, fried chicken, etc. with only £1. You can check with the restaurant again if the deal is still available.

Nice place where to enjoy ramen. A bit pricey though

We used to be usual customer before lockdown but this time will be the last. We came around 8pm like we always did and we noticed that something was off straight away. Despite been seated rather quickly and the restaurant being empty we felt completely ignored and once someone finally noticed us and took our order were not asked for any drinks but just served water instead. The starters came before any cutlery and plates and thats when we realised that the restaurant was closing and no one told us when we came in, and now the staff just wanted us gone so quite frustrated we started eating our ramen quickly. Not even 45 minutes seated and someone already brought us the bill (including 12% service charge) with pin pad in hand despite none of us finished their food. Really sad experience from what used to be one of our favourite restaurants.

Good portion sizes and superb and accommodating serves ... but it’s a bit expensive (London prices I guess)

Finally! Tsukamen in Soho!Recently opened up in the area, and a decent spot for the more adventurous Ramen eater.The menu is a little priciest than most ramen places in London (slightly) but made up for it by being able to add 5 gyoza for £1 at Lunch.Now, the Tsukamen. I’ve been obsessed with making this dish ever since I first saw it (cooled noodles and a hot broth).The noodles were thick and chewy, to help with holding the flavour of the dipping broth. The broth itself was interesting, a combination of traditional pork broth with a citrus element to it. Caught me off guard slightly, but still very tasty!Good place for something different, but Ramen traditionalists May be disappointed.

Best ramen place in LondonIf you are vegan, should try their vegan ramenCocktails are ok

Kind of salty and oily. We went at night and they looked pretty understaffed. One waitress had to take care of the entire back area. The agedashi tofu is more ok.

I was actually pleasantly surprised at this place. I was not sure if I’d like this simply because I’ve not enjoyed some ramen places in the past but Ippudo tasted really good. I went for the Classic with no egg and had a chicken Bao. The chicken Bao was really good and actually complimented the ramen. The Ramen also very good and tasting amazing and after having the broth it filled me up nicely! Great place.

Really tasty ramen, comes in three levels of spicy-ness (I ordered the spiciest) and different amounts of toppings. Was a bit disappointed with the thickness of the noodles though, a bit too thin for my personal preference but they were very tasty. We had the karaage chicken as well which was good, not as crispy as I’ve had at other establishments. We waited about 20 minutes before being seated on a weeknight. Overall a good experience and definitely one of the tastier ramen chains in London.

My favourite restaurant! Service is always fantastic and the food is phenomenal

I am not usually one to rave about chain restaurants but this might be the exception. The ramen is always high quality and they accommodate special orders quite well. The only reason it is not five stars is there is very often a wait and no rhyme or reason as to the queue times.

Really bad service neither friendly or helpful. Food is good, the best is chicken gyoza

Amazing restaurant!Outstanding customer service!They make you feel welcome from the moment you cross the door.Very delicious food!

Fantastic Ramen - just how its done back in Tokyo. Hirata buns are also supreme.

Went for an early dinner on a Sunday, qued outside for about 20 minutes. The entry was clearly Covid centric, nhs app and temp taken, which was good to see.The food came out quickly, and was decent. The bowls contain a lot of food with a wide variety of choice on the menu. Expensive, but that is London.

Ordered the Tsukemen, along with two drinks and the lunch set special, was not disappointed at all. Great value for money and the food was served very timely. Everything tasted great! Will be definitely coming again soon.

Love love love Ippudo! So happy they are back open again so I can eat their food.

Some really nice memories of the 3 months I spent in Tokyo popped up in my head as I was in ippudo. Delicious ramen and Gyoza. Makes me want to return to japan asap.

Nice ramen, the broth was really good, not too heavy. But the pork wasnt the best and I found it a bit odd that they left the egg whole

Perfection 👌🏻 beautiful Ramen, blissfull chicken starter, flawless customer service, helpful polite happy waitresses, quick service, inexpensive.

The ramen is great. The staff are friendly and very accomodating. I suggest not to come during peak hours. If you just want to enjoy good ramen and not want the hassle of waiting.

Bad service with service charge. Do not recommend.

A perfect place for Japanese ramen soup. The side dishes are also delicious.

We had good food and the service was great.

Amazing quality foods would come back again

My favourite ramen bar in town. The ramen is easily the best you can get in the UK and I have been to most of the major ramen bars. Great staff too

Delicious ramen noodles at a reasonable price.

Im in love with Ippudo. Im no ramen expert but they provide a consistent experience in the different locations that I have visited though NY is still my favorite. This is store is in a very centric location, very spacious with lots of tables and an attentive staff. I recommend the akamaru modern and the pork buns. You wont be disappointed.

Best ramen in london!

Always a great experience to eat at Ippuso St Giles. Top notch service and great ramen! Theres always enough seating and you get to drink by the bar when youre waiting for the a table. The staff is well trained and super friendly. I recommend the tonkatsu, karaage and renkon chips.

Tired new menu : cold noodle , its soooo good ! The noodle cooked just right, the mince meat is the star ! Its flavour enough and still fresh, not too heavy.Recommend visit lunch time, you can add £1 to get gyoza, karaage ... Good deal. We tried deep fried gyoza, both gyoza and dipping sauce are fantastic.Staff really friendly, they will explain you all dish in details.Desserts : new pudding, a bit too sweet for my taste but still creamy and tasty, we think coffee and hojicha flavour are better !

I wanted to eat here but a horrible long queue . Did not get in to the restaurant.. I heard it was great but I cannot confirm.. to bad. A suggestion: bring beers to the patiently waiting people😁

The food definitely lives up to its reputation! I had the Shiromaru Classic, which was absolutely delicious- they even ask you how well done you like your noodles! We also shared the sweet potato hirata buns, the veggie gyoza, and the chicken kara-age, which were all divine and brought out very promptly after we ordered. We also tried something new to us - renkon chips, made from fried lotus root, and they were a great crisp. The staff were all very friendly and attentive, and Id highly recommend attending if you love ramen. Be warned though, the spicy ramens are eye-wateringly spicy!

Good place for a lil afternoon drink and catch up with mates

Taste of home. The quality of the side dishes make me want to choose it above other ramen places.

Love it, every time I come here!

Truly one of the top Ramen dishes I have ever eaten anywhere in the world. The flavour is just so moresome and the broth is perfect! I cant wait to try another tomorrow.Thank you for this superbly satisfying meal - and so well priced!!!

Great veggie ramen and super friendly chefs in the open kitchen.

Pandemic review: Temperature checked at the door. The staff serving us was really friendly. We went for early dinner a weekday. It wasnt packed and the we were seated as spread out from others as possible. As it got busier the tables in between were seated but still felt a comfortable distance. Plenty of outdoor seating is also available outside.Noodles great as usual, great spicy veggie option is appreciated since not all noodle places cater for vegetarians 👍

Great ramen! We had a lovely meal. Have saved this restaurant for our next trip to London.

Amazing semi-cooked egg！ However noodle itself is just average and broth is too salty. Service is good though.
