This 2nd review is for the ramen with miso which turned to be salty in a nice way. A repeat for sure. Service was good and delivery was super fast, within 5 minutes we got our two bowls. Had the ice lemon tea which was good too. A repeat in near future for ramen. 2025 December Review #2 ========================= The classic ramen broth (Shiromaru Motoaji) is pretty good. Chashu pork is very soft. Presentation is near perfect. The salad is tasty with the dressing, also well plated. The truffles fries quantity is lacking however the taste is nice. Food was dished out fast. A repeat for ramen if in the area. 2025 October Review #1

I think this place is rather different from other Ippudos given its bar and selection of sake. Food-wise, I am kinda surprised that the variety of ramen is rather limited. …

I recently visited Ippudo for the first time, not only at the i12 outlet but also at the restaurant itself. I came with my family, and we had the pleasure of experiencing exceptional service from the team, especially Ms. Cassey. …

Delectable Ramen, Second time this year eating at Ippudo. You can choose the types of ramen that you want, the texture of the ramen is soft and smooth. The soup was quite salty and the meat had quite a chunk of fats. The meal was quite costly but when you sign up for their membership you get a free drink!
Aisyah
It's a very standard ramen restaurant. Nothing fancy, get your ramen and get out, like you would in Japan. Quality is quite consistent, although our Karaka Men special ended up quite salty. Gyoza was also quite straightforward. …
