Ippudo - Santa Monica

IPPUDO was founded in 1985 in Japan's ramen capital of Hakata by the internationally renowned Ramen King, Shigemi Kawahara. Through his devotion, creativity, and passion for quality, Ippudo became the driving force behind the "Hakata Tonkotsu" ramen boom in Japan. Since then, Ippudo has become the most popular ramen restaurant expanding over 60 restaurants to major cities worldwide.

Our signature ramen is produced by highly skilled ramen artisans who carefully select ingredients to prepare a rich, aromatic tonkotsu soup & homemade thin noodles. Our tonkotsu soup is slowly simmered over 20 hours producing a delicious, silky broth unlike any other. Our ramen is served extra hot so please use caution when indulging in our signature dish. Enjoy!
