- SAugust 16, 2017They have a special ramen for vegetarians, just ask (it's on the English menu but sort of hiding in a special note on the back). Really good noodles and broth - don't miss it!
- Ryan BrightOctober 7, 2016Seated immediately for dinner - a relief given the waits back home in NYC. The karaka is one of my favorites anywhere, and the gyoza is also worth trying.
- Meredith BlechmanOctober 28, 2016Go for a later lunch (~2:45) to miss the long lines. They will make a veggie ramen if you ask. Highly recommend adding a soft boiled egg to whatever you order!
- James CrawfordDecember 27, 2019Yes! The Tonkotsu chilli ramen is great. We had middle heat (6out of 10). I can’t imagine what the hottest is like. Extra points for the jazz playing in the background.
- CarissaJanuary 2, 2018about a 15 minute wait around noon, totally worth it. get the spicy pork ramen (spice level 2-3) with extra cha sui. don’t bother with the gyoza, it’s not special.
- BanuNovember 26, 2015Ippudo Karaka is best soup i have ever tasted!! And don't miss Hakata bite sized dumplings! Veery delicious food and lovely place. I highly recommend.
- Kate FergusonApril 4, 2017I know I can get it in Sydney or Singapore, and even with all the amazing ramen options available in Tokyo & #kyoto, I still just had to have some when I visited Japan...
- Chris MallonApril 14, 2019The Karaka ramen at Extra Spices level was fiery and delicious. Perfect for people who want heat, and you dial the spices up and down and add extras. Dumplings were delicious.
- Nadine AbidAugust 2, 2015I ate the vegeterian ramen and it wasn't as great as expected... But I've heard the ramen with pork is delicious!
- Olive LogieDecember 29, 2015There is always a line out the door, and for good reason - the ramen is just incredible. Gyoza no better than elsewhere bit still yum. Extremely quick table turnover, don't expect to linger.
- William DyerMarch 31, 2017The special classic was delicious. There are some special offers that only appear on the Japanese edition of the menu.

- Jennifer GSeptember 8, 2017Don't be discouraged by the all pork menu at first glance if you don't eat meat. Vegetarian ramen is available and equally delicious!
- YC CheahJuly 27, 2015Ramen is good. Their broth is flavorful although slightly oily. I like mine with 2 cloves of crushed garlic (add-on option, upon request)

- Rachel RothApril 13, 2017Vegetarians: ask for the off-menu "veggie ramen", and add lots of toppings.
- OmansowaMay 24, 2019I’m a local ramen lover and had been underestimated Ippudo. Cuz they are too famous, have long waiting line all the time that consists a lot of tourists. However they are progressed, what a soup tho!
- Kevin MarlowAugust 11, 2016A very popular ramen restaurant in Kyoto. There usually is a line, but it is worth the fairly short wait.
- Alicia GregoireApril 25, 2015Spicy ramen was excellent, maybe best ramen I've tried yet! English menu & short wait at 6pm Sat night
- George PetroApril 27, 2017Best ramen ever. Super tasty, lots of flavor! Also service is really friendly and rapid!
- Luca DaviddeMay 21, 2014Probably the best ramen in kyoto. Nice prices and happy service, try spicy ramen, but not more than "standard" !!!
- ASJune 5, 2019Excellent Ramen, i enjoyed the three spices; don't go more if you're not use to spicy food.
- Ben K.May 29, 2014Order the Akamaru Special and revel in the fact that there's no wait and prices are half that of the NYC location.
- Cristie CollinsJanuary 16, 2019Very yum. Friendly staff, accomodating of my vegetarian husband. Highly recommend.

- Sophie ArenasSeptember 18, 2014Fast and great service. Ramen is amazing and the prices are very reasonable!!
- Mike O'DeaFebruary 25, 2011This spot is my favorite! The NYC location is like Disney world compared to the Kyoto version - and double the price!
- LoreApril 17, 2016This place was recommended in the Lonely Planet. Gyoza are very small and not to die for. I was very disappointed. Prices are fair though.
- tjaumin foodDecember 26, 2015Have had way better ramen in other places, unfortunately this one is a bit overrated...seems to have more and more tourists.
