"I've been meaning to try Ippudo's ramen for awhile, they're reputed to be very good and quite authentic. So I was happy to finally have an opportunity to try them out. We went late on a rainy Thursday evening and only had to wait about 15 minutes for a group of four, which isn't bad for a ramen place. However inside things didn't get faster, it took awhile for our order to be taken and a very long time for our order to arrive. It's strange because most elements of the ramen should be ready to go. When the ramen finally arrived it was only fine. I got the tori Shoyu, and the broth tasted nice, it wasn't too rich and had a reasonably complex flavour. The noodles were a bit anonymous but nice enough. The toppings however were a let down. The chicken chasu was just poached chicken breasts that were a bit dry, the tamago too salty and there was nothing green to break up the heaviness of the dish beyond the garnish. At 16€, it was a pricey disappointment. The decor isn't very interesting, it's all bright lights and harsh surfaces, it reminded me of a canteen more than anything."
