Opened on the 2nd of July, did you see the queue?! It was a bomb, people kept coming! Yes of course we tried out their food. In fact, editor is a huge fan of Ippudo. Before ramen, starters first. Their salmon roll and sake mentai rice, OMG it’s a must try. Their fried chicken is out of this world as well. On to the ramen, our favourite has got to be Akamaru. The fragrant garlic oil made the whole bowl heavenly. Or even challenge yourself with the Karaka series, you get to pick your level of spiciness.
