IPPUDO MARINA BAY SANDS - 2 Bayfront Avenue#B2-54/55 The Shoppes at Marina Bay Sands Marina Bay Sands

Delicious ramen with reasonable price. You can select how your noodle is cooked. Good and quick service. You may have to queue for a table.

Ippudo is definately one of the best ramen joints in Singapore. Their standards are very consistent and good. Being in MBS, their prices are a bit more expensive than other outlets it seems, I had the super spicy black which is a singapore fav for 27 Bucks so we could add noodles and share and the kids had the kids meal at 12 Bucks which was decent with a drink. Will definately be back.

After a visit to Gardens by the Bay, headed to the comforts of Marina Bay Sands Shoppes to cool off and to enjoy dinner. Chose to dine at Ippudo as the craving for the Honten in Hakata, Fukuoka, is strong. Feeling really thirsty, a most often denied option was made and a can of Coca Cola was ordered. Sigh, so expensive. Hahaha. Ippudo is best known for their Tonkotsu broth and was the first Ramen Champion in Japan. Ordering the store's specialty Akamaru Shinaji, it brought back memories of that first meal at Ippudo's Honten. Alas, after that first bite, it was obvious the difference in quality between the Honten and this outlet at MBS. However, for a quick fix, the outlet in Singapore is still considered as acceptable.

We hadn’t had a meal at Ippudo for quite a while, and the Akamaru special ramen were still very good, if a little oily. The four char siu pieces were thick and juicy, and very tasty. The chicken karaage were also very nice, crispy and full of flavour. We also liked the gyoza, which were a tad small, but flavourful. It was good that they provided cool or warm water for free. Service was quick and efficient.

I feel the broth here is much better than other outlets I had tried. Business is very good there, if you go after 9.30pm the side dish may sold out. Settle for a hot bowl of ramen is sastifying.

Very fast service, does not take long for food to be served. Ramen tastes great! Authentic Japanese flavors. Broth very tasty. Staffs courteous and helpful too.

I usually go to the Mandarin Gallery main branch, but when at MBS, would drop by their outlet here too. This time tried their tea rice too. First time tasting Japanese tea rice. Not bad at all.

Decent ramen at affordable prices, one of the more economical options at MBS. There wasn’t a crowd on a weekday night and we were able to get our food in minutes. However, side dishes were not that great, not worth topping up to the set meal.
