A famed name amongst ramen connoisseurs, Ippudo is known as one of the best ramen restaurants not only in London but in the world. Created in 1985 by Kawahara Shigemi, this chain has expanded globally, maintaining its humble yet expert reputation for making the perfect ramen. Here you can choose the firmness of your noodles- which is not a commonality. 

It is a walk-in only venue and you're guaranteed a short wait, but trust us, it's worth it. The menu offers a range of ramen delights, with the karaka-men being one of our favourites. Think spicy miso paste, creamy tonkotsu broth, mushrooms, bean sprouts and pork belly. Needless to say, combined with the woody interior that pays homage to quintessential Japanese design, you'll feel like you've travelled halfway across the world with no need to buy a plane ticket. As Ippudo states: 'every steaming bowl is an 'arigato'- a thank you which they serve to their customers all around the world with a smile'. We'll see you there!
