After visiting the Seaside top observatory, we took a subway from Daimon station to Roppongi station. Roppongi is famous for its night life. The area features
numerous bars, nightclubs, restaurants and other forms of entertainment.
However, we are not a club person and the main reason we were there was to have dinner in Ippudo Roppongi.
Ippudo is a chain ramen restaurant in Japan. It is quite a
big thing in Malaysia and Singapore so I thought to myself that I must try the
original ones from Japan.
This is the dining area of the restaurant. It is quite a
small shop as it can only fit about 20 pax. In fact, most of the shops in Tokyo
are rather small.
Most restaurants will have English menu available. So do ask for English menu if you do not understand Japanese instead of order
blindly.
We ordered the Shiromaru Motoaji (白丸元味) which is Ippudo’s
original tonkotsu broth (pork bone broth) served with thin noodles, bara chashu
(pork belly), cabbage, kikurage and spring onions. It is a classic Hakata-style
ramen. You can always choose to add additional ingredients with a small fee. We
added an extra soft boiled egg.
We were quite full from all the snacking before dinner so we
ordered a small rice (明太子ごはん温玉のせ)
instead of another bowl of ramen. The rice comes with mentaiko, onsen tamago
and seaweed.
People
are recommending their gyoza on the internet. So we ordered 5 pieces to try and
it was THE BOMB. Juicy delicious gyoza. Best gyoza ever! I would list this as the must order item in Ippudo.

full list of location and operating hours.
