World-renowned tonkotsu ramen chain from Fukuoka, serving rich, creamy pork-bone broth ramen since 1985.
IPPUDO is one of Japan's most celebrated ramen brands, founded in Fukuoka in 1985 by chef Shigemi Kawahara — also known as the "Ramen King" — with a mission to bring tonkotsu ramen to the world. The Star Vista outlet carries the same dedication to the signature pork-bone broth, simmered for hours until it reaches a milky, collagen-rich consistency that coats every noodle in velvety umami.
Diners can choose between the Shiromaru (original white broth) and the Akamaru (richer, with a miso-based "flavour ball" stirred in), each offering a distinct depth of flavour. Beyond the flagship bowls, the menu includes appetisers such as gyoza, edamame, and karaage, plus side dishes and rice bowls that round out the meal.
The noodles — thin, straight, and springy — are designed to pair specifically with the broth, and the optional kaedama (extra noodle refill) lets you savour every last drop. The restaurant's sleek, modern interior and efficient service make it well-suited for a quick but satisfying meal, whether dining solo or with a group. If you are seeking a bowl of tonkotsu ramen that has won over millions worldwide, IPPUDO at The Star Vista is a reliable, flavourful destination. It is ramen at its most refined — rich, comforting, and deeply satisfying.
