The ramen is always amazing; reminds me of Ippudo in Japan!

Landing several franchises in Australia, IPUDDO has a selective range of ramen and sides made with care in their quality produce. I am a foodie with an eye for cheap eats, hence the value for their menu can make me hesitate. Nonetheless, the distinct memory of their flavours will continue to keep me up at night until I am able to run back to this gem once lockdown is eased.
Seating can be hard to grab during dinner times. In addition, there are no bookings so you gotta be lucky to avoid waiting. To be honest, it’s all worth the wait. Its modern yet calm atmosphere and warm colours of timber gets you travelling back to Japan. Staff are friendly which mirrors the authentic service you would see in Japan.
We ordered a plate of pork buns and seared salmon aburi, plus a ramen for each of us. I ordered the classic tonkotsu ramen and every slurp had a satisfying buzz. It wasn’t too heavy on the mouth and the flavours were perfectly balanced. The pork, however, was so fatty and juicy I wish there was more. The ramen noodles, were pretty average, which was the only downslide.
Pork buns were amazing, as they know how to care for their meats, and the fluffiness of the milk buns just worked so well together to give it that perfect balance of porkiness and sweetness.
If I had to return, it would have to be for the seared salmon sushi with the cream cheese on top which I could not get enough of. The seared salmon could still melt on the tongue given the slightly crispy texture from searing the salmon. It was so light yet popping with flavours and textures.
Overall, the balance of flavours is something worth coming back for. I miss you Ippudo!
love the food and service at this place, however didnt like waiting outside in the cold probally offer free hot beverage or outdoor heaters. I cant wait to come back
I really like the atmosphere of the restaurant. The staff were very attentive and made the experience nice. The food was very very nice. Would highly recommend it.
Ippudo was very good overall! I liked the ambience and design of the restaurant as it felt very peaceful. I also think that the taste and presentation of the food was quite nice too. I’ll definitely be coming back here again!
Came once, had some delicious ramen and an entree of salmon rolls - the salmon absolutely melts in your mouth. Wanting to come back again!
OMG! First time trying @ippudo.au it was a really great experience. I had the - Akamaru Tamago with flavored egg / special ippudo tonkotsu broth & pork belly. This is the first time I gave 10/10 for a restaurant because the service was great & the food was delicious & authentic.

Akamaru Shinaji ($16)
⭐️ 4/5 ⭐️
🍴Haven’t had #ippudo in awhile and it’s still the same rich broth and tasty standards that I remember although the broth does get a bit too salty towards the end. The noodle texture can be chosen from soft-hard. The #akamarushinaji was the original tonkotsu broth enhanced with miso and garlic which I feel made it more layered and flavourful than just the usual pork broth. The char siu was perfectly tender and cooked and because of it’s more fatty nature, was soft and melt-in-the-mouth kind, although I personality prefer a less fatty piece of meat.

Yummy ramen and sushi. However, it is quite pricey for the size of ramen and sushi you get, and there is often a wait at peak times.
Great food. Great venue. Child friendly. Highly recommended! Been there many times with great service. Mostly during the day though, but im sure at night they would provide good service given the layout
Came here for lunch on a Thursday and it was pretty busy. Food was pretty good, got the spicy ramen and it was a good level of spice. Only downside was that the table was really small so me and my party felt really squashed. Service was good
Ippudo was a Japanese restaurant located at Q.V., specialising at ramens. I loved the ambiance; dimly lit, modern, wooden themed. The ramen was still not comparable to that of Hakata, but everything else was simply amazing; pork bun, salmon sushi roll, gohan, even their Nutella choc pot dessert! The line could be pretty long but it was definitely worth it.
The service was nice where staff were warm and friendly. Seems like the place was understaff as we had to wait a while to have our orders taken. When serving us they remembered who ordered what dish which was great. The dishes we had were nourishing and revitalising. Would recommend if you’re not sure where to eat in Melbourne CBD.
I went here for lunch with my wife, it was simply awesome.
The broth was amazing, pork melt in your mouth, was unbeivable, top it off with a tap poured Asahi Super Dry and you have the best combination.
Let me just say, the bowl was completely emptied/cleaned, i was not leaving a single thing in the bowl it was that good.
One of the best tonkotsu broths I have had in Melbourne.
Also love that they have Asahi black on tap here!
The few times I have been here service has always been good. If you come during peak dinner times (especially weekends) be prepared to wait in the queue.
We had a great meal!!! The chashu Ramen was flavourful and delicious!!! Great choice of wines (try the yuzo one... It's so good). The staff was very friendly and helped me to choose the right noodles for my ramen.
Thank you 😊
