Profile

Among the starchy-food cognoscenti, it’s pretty much agreed that, with Ramen Setagaya, Rai Rai Ken, Soba-ya, and Ippudo NY all clustered within a few short East Village blocks of each other, things on the noodle front couldn’t be rosier. It’s also generally agreed that what to get at Ippudo—the first U.S. branch of the Japanese chain—is either one of the two $13 bowls of super-porky ramens, the Shiromaru Classic (the joint’s original, pork-bone-enriched recipe) or the Akamaru Modern (the Shiromaru plus all the fixings, and a touch of the house “special secret sauce”). Where to sit is another matter: Some like the bar, where you get the best view of the pajama-clad cooks. Others prefer the spacious booths. But we’re partial to the cushy white chairs at the dining counter, which, when pushed together cozily, form what GQ’s Alan Richman, writing on his blog, recognized as a Japanese love seat having experienced the sensation firsthand on his date with David Chang. — Rob Patronite and Robin Raisfeld

The ambience was much nicer than most standard ramen places with darker lighting and a cherry blossom centerpiece. The ramen was very tasty with perfect noodle thickness and there were several flavors to choose from (as opposed to Setagaya). I tried...Read More
