Hakata Ippudo NY

I have never had a bad meal here and I go almost once a week. The wait is long especially on the weekends and at peak times. However lunch is the best time to go as generally you can be seated right away. The staff is friendly and the food comes out relatively quickly. Best vegetarian ramen options as their sesame broth is really flavorful.

All solid, but the pork buns... BOOM. Mind blowing, definitely do those, the rest pretty good but nothing extra special.

This place offers a fun atmosphere and delicious food. It can get super busy but worth it. Service is very quick

Really really tasty ramen and ippudo buns! Shrimp bun was amazing. Also pretty reasonably priced for the quality and location. Try to go at off-hours to avoid waiting for a table

I deeply love the Karaka Men Ramen, add a poached egg and extra hot! Get a Sapporo and you will be all set. Location is good and staff are friendly. Waiting time depends but most likely 30 minutes to an hour +

Went around 4 pm on a Friday so there was no wait. Friendly staff and very quick service. The ramen was one of the best I've had.

Worth the wait. Delicious Ramen. The restaurant is a bit hectic because it’s so busy.

Certainly a bustling joint. Good ramen, quick service, all good.

Excellent ramen! The buns are very good too. Not too expensive which is rare in NYC. It's a famous place so you will have to be patient but it's worth it

To be fair this place has great service, awesome atmosphere, and the food is prepared perfectly. However, maybe it’s just me that didn’t like their style of ramen comparing to other ramen chains that came from Japan. I would still recommend you try it for yourself. There’s a lot of different styles of ramen and you won’t know if you like it or not if you never came!

Fun ramen restaurant, with a great variety of combinations in the soup. be sure to remember that you can order extra noodles - called kaedama, but i never remember that. The tables are large and communal, but you can be as friendly or as private as you like.

I absolutely enjoyed the food and service, good area nearby to my residence. The employees are always very friendly. Will come back again.

I absolutely love this place. One of my favourite ramen places. While waiting we had the cocktails and they were amazing. I love the bao buns specially the veg ones.

This place is really cool and they have an amazing menu too. The staff are real nice and the total service experience was great!

Always a wait but totally worth it. Noodle selection is around 10 or so but you can customize and alter them to your liking. Service is always on point, attentive but not over bearing, knowledgeable.
