Considering Ramen for date night… this is the ONLY acceptable place as its not your traditional counter only rushed seating but very trendy restaurant style. A definite must if you are craving Ippudo and need to keep the lady happy.

I just had to try Ippudo in Japan as a comparison to the all the ones in NYC. As expected, it was good, and better than the States of course. Maybe the pork is fresher. The broth is richer and more flavorful. The noodles are fresh, almost al dente. And then the gyozas. The skin is super soft and there’s a crunch when you bite into it. Super oishi! Friendly staff. Expect a line at peak hours. Cash only.

Fancier interior than most ramen places and more of a true restaurant feel with table service. Larger menu gives you a variety of broth choices, but we went with tonkotsu — fatty pork broth. Perfectly done and big portions. Fantastic service as seems to be the norm in Japan. Great opening hours. Wasn’t very busy when we dropped by at around midnight or so on a weeknight.
