The broth had a wonderful depth of flavor, but the toppings on this "shiromaru N.Y. style" ($13) — tonkotsu soup with stewed pork, cabbage, and scallions — left me flat. The ramen noodles were very thin, and firm. I sampled Ippudo's signature ramen during their soft opening, so I'll certainly visit them again, but only after they've had some time to settle into their routine.

Wow, how did you get there so fast I heard today was the opening. I'm excited, though I've been waiting for them to open all month!... lunch just 3 hours away...

Sometimes you see a lot just by looking. I was passing through the neighborhood about a week ago when I spotted a curious-looking establishment down the block -- something like Lincoln Logs in blonde wood. I'd forgotten about Ippudo entirely, but there it was, with their "soft opening" hours posted right in the window, and I made it a point to stop back in for a bowl (on my way to dinner).
Expect to wait, even if you arrive early. Have fun!

I agree... broth was great, the rest just ok. and i only got one piece of pork -- feel like two is the norm. also: too much greeting!
