Best Japanese ramen noodles I've ever had. The karake-men is soooo good, perfect spice levels and such a rich miso broth. It got my nose running because I couldn't stop eating. My friends got some gyoza and they said it tasted very good! But definitely such a great place to eat and an affordable price ❤️😸😸

Clean, elegant, professional, and an experience I will never forget. They made made some of the best food I've ever eaten in my 7 years in England. The karaka bowl is to die for, the atmosphere is very welcoming and comfy, and the staff are very nice. I will definitely be coming back in the future, and I implore anyone reading this to please pay them a visit if you're in the area.

Very good vegetarian ramen, and very good crispy vegetable gyozas too! It is a chain that we discovered in Japan and we were very excited to see that there is also Ippudo's in London! It has nothing to envy to the locals in Japan :) the only thing is, the tables are very close together, there are a lot of people and without any windows... the atmosphere that is created is a bit oppressive.

One of the best Ramen restaurants in London that I have ever been to. The ramen and the Age Tako Yaki was so delicious, we ordered the “firm” ramen and we think that was just right and we were glad we didn’t order “soft” ramen. Waitress was very polite and attentive, it’s a very nice place to have a quick lunch.

We had the crispy gyoza and karaage as starters, followed by the karaka tamago and the veggie ramen. The starters were outstanding. The karaka ramen tasted very similar to the ippudo in Australia, with a few subtle differences. The veggie ramen was quite different. Both were excellent.

The best ramen I found in London so far. Walking down embankment direct somewhere else and them window called my attention. The menù is small, that for me means good food. There are basically 3 main dishes that can be slightly changed, adding egg or extra top. Had the pork with egg (shiromaru tamago) with firm noodle. It doesn't look spectacular in the photo due to a plain color, indeed is that tasty that I haven't left a single drop of broth. Won't suggest the special, it is basically the normal dish with the extra on the side; If i am that hungry, I will order another dish

Place isn’t the cleanest considering it’s a food place. Very cramped too. Food was meh at best. But the worst thing is the server who took away my coffee cup from starbucks because he said they didn’t allow it. Why? I don’t know because they are not a competing brand with Starbucks so I was so perplexed. He was rude to my companion as well, taking his card away to put it in the card machine. Really disappointed with the interaction.

Aside from the very warm ramen that you will indulge, staff are also very warm in welcoming you. Be it elderly, family with toddler/infant, name it. They go extra mile with their food service.

A great ramen experience if you eat the bar. They recommend ordering extra noodles, if so desired, when you’re halfway through the bowl. Eating at the bar means that I got my extra noodles in fifteen seconds! The broth is tasty, noodles were sufficiently firm textured, without being too rich or heavy. It’s also a great way to see the chef in action which adds to the whole experience. The cost was pretty standard for a London meal. The bowls are kept in hot water right up to plating and serving which has allowed the broth to stay at a good temperature throughout the meal, even with extra noodles. Excellent work, team.

Excellent ramen. A different universe to Wagamama which is what I was used to. Recommend firm noodles which is what they recommend. Delicious. Place is small so space limited. Sometimes queueing outside, lots of Japanese (v good sign). Not worth waiting more than 15 minutes though - it’s just ramen, but they are very good quality.

Vraiment très déçus de l’expérience. Nous venons de Paris et connaissons très bien cette chaîne. Les ramens sont déjà meilleurs chez nous mais ce qui nous a le plus choqué c’est l’amabilité des serveurs. Est-ce normal à Londres que ce soit aux clients de voir les places libres et de demander si ils peuvent y manger ? Sans rire, il y a avait trois places libres et c’est au bout de 15 minutes que quelqu’un est rentré pour demander si les places étaient disponible. En plus de ça, c’est plutôt cher.

I had an incredibly frustrating experience at Ippodo. Despite the restaurant being virtually empty inside, they inexplicably insisted that I wait outside. This seemed like an unnecessarily selfish decision driven by poor management. I was thoroughly disappointed with the way they handled the situation.

Do una stella, perché sono stata trattata davvero male, presa in giro. Dopo un pomeriggio passato a Covent Garden, scendendo avevo voglia di Ramen, così dopo ricerche su internet sono arrivata qui, avevo il telefono morto con zero batteria e mi serviva un minimo giusto per tornare poi verso casa, chiedo gentilmente se era possibile caricarlo visto che c’era sopra una cassa un IPhone bianco… Un ragazzo asiatico disponibile chiede ad un suo collega che gli dice severamente NO! Nello stesso tempo di quando mi porta il ramen, domando come mai non posso usufruire 5 minuti di carica, quando davanti ne ho uno e non è di nessun cliente perché c’erano solo tre ragazze e tutte con il proprio telefono! Mi è stato detto chiaramente NO, come se stessi facendo la carità e non fossi una cliente. Se lo staff preferisce caricare il proprio cellulare e aiutare una cliente per soli 5 minuti, almeno che lo metta in un posto nascosto ed evita di fare figure del genere… Mi era passata la fame, ero davvero arrabbiata, delusa, non mi era mai successo un episodio così di basso livello! Non ho nemmeno assaporato il cibo, per me aveva perso tutto il gusto e non vedevo l’ora di andarmene e la cosa più triste, è che avevo speso la mia ultima batteria per andare in questo posto assurdo! Fortunatamente sono riuscita a tornare a casa con l’aiuto di persone per strada, a mai più!

If you're looking for a quick ramen fix and do not care much about the authentic taste or the flavor of ramen, then this place is for you. Many things to dislike about this joint... but mainly the broth was mediocre and lacked flavour and didn't have the richness that you expect. Also, the gyoza lacked the right flavor. For foodies out there, pass and keep looking for a better ramen place! I have been to Ippudo in Japan and this is way below the quality of ramen that the folks in Tokyo had. I am definitely not going back. However, I must say that the staff were amazing and service was impeccable.

I used to come here every week and haven’t been for around 18 months. I wish I hadn’t. I was greeted with Namasté for a start. I ordered a poached egg extra for my ramen and it was so cold it was crystallising and ruined the broth. The server was outright rude and said did I want them to leave it out in the heat. Then proceeded to lecture me on how to add the egg. It was truly disgusting and he didn’t care. I said it was making me feel sick and he said that’s how they do it. I was then physically sick in the toilets. Didn’t care. Just he’s never heard it before. I usually am fairly relaxed about not the best food but next stop environmental health.

I have ordered Karai men and I was deeply disappointed with the amount of meat. The amount of it was smaller than my little finger. I think they should prepare another dish to show the amount of topping rather than putting them on noodle. Some people may argue I am pretty mean but 14.5pounds for noodle is never cheap. The quantity of dish should follow the price.
