ippudo V Brooklyn

We had such a cozy, satisfying meal at Ippudo V with the modern and warm vibe, perfect for a comforting ramen night. Loved their all-vegan selection, which is honestly refreshing to see done so thoughtfully. We started with the Vrooklyn Gyoza, it was easily one of the best vegan gyozas I have had in a long time. They were incredibly flavorful with a subtle smoky depth. For ramen, we tried Platon Tonkotsu, their take on the signature tonkotsu-style broth. It was unique, deeply flavorful, and felt like warmth served in a bowl. The tofu and fried enoki mushrooms added great texture, comforting, hearty, and just so yummy. We also tried the Dragon Tantan which had bold, rich, aromatic broth. Deeply satisfying and layered with flavor. I was really excited to try the Orange Fruit Sandwich for dessert. The flavors were nice and refreshing, though the bread felt slightly dry. That said, it was easy to overlook considering how fabulous the savory dishes were. The only area that could use some improvement is the service. It was quite slow and there’s definitely room to elevate the experience. Overall, a fantastic vegan ramen spot I would happily return to.

Delightful experience! The food, service and the atmosphere were fantastic. One of the best tasting Ramen I’ve had and was kind of surprised to see them dedicate the entire restaurant to Vegan Japanese cuisine. We tried Daichi no Miso and Pla-ton, both were great but the miso based was incredible. Tip: order a side of their spicy paste (karaka paste) to elevate the flavor. This place is a must visit!

We went on a Saturday evening hoping for a cozy, lively dinner, but the restaurant was surprisingly quiet with only three tables occupied. The food was good, just not particularly memorable, I would still come back to try more items on the menu. One downside was that the check was brought right after we declined dessert. We were still going to continue having drinks …Since the restaurant was not busy at all, it felt a bit rushed and we ended up calling it a night earlier than planned once the check arrived. Just don’t bring the check if the customer hasn’t asked for it yet, it’s a turn off.

My favorite spot for vegan ramen and vegan sushi in NYC! The atmosphere of the restaurant itself is very chic yet warm. And the service is excellent! Our server Andrea was incredible, very friendly and had great menu suggestions. The mocha "smoovee" wasn't my favorite because of the chia seeds, but I think you can order it without. The hojicha latte is top notch as well. Can't wait to go back!

This place is so flipping delicious. There’s so many options. I come all the time to try new things. They have some seasonal items as well. The super Mario bros sushi roll is my favorite and I can’t get enough! The gyozas are particularly yummy as well. The staff is very kind and welcoming, there’s even some cool swag items for purchase if you’re into that. Highly recommend for vegans and non vegans alike.

The ramen itself was actually very good — flavorful, well-balanced, and not overly salty, which I appreciated. Unfortunately, the overall experience was negatively affected by the service. When ordering, the staff member repeatedly seemed confused and frustrated, responding with “What??” followed by another “What??” and misconfirming our order multiple times despite us clearly stating we wanted two tonkotsu ramen and one dumpling (no we do not have accents. This made the interaction unnecessarily awkward from the start. When our food arrived, one of the plates was visibly scratched and worn. I politely asked for a different plate, as my friend had received a newer, clean-looking one. Instead of simply replacing it, the server questioned why I wanted it changed, asked if I wanted a different color, and even suggested that the plate “wasn’t dirty, just scratched.” The back-and-forth made me feel uncomfortable and pressured, when a simple plate swap would have resolved everything immediately. The dumplings were also pretty burnt. The ramen was great — it was the service that made the whole experience unpleasant and uncomfortable. I do not recommend the restaurant for its unpleasant service. $68 was honestly over priced for what we had received.

I don’t eat ramen often, but the quality here was very good. The miso ramen wasn’t overly salty, and the broth felt clean with plenty of fresh veggies that made it lighter than most bowls. It’s a bit too pricey for a casual lunch, but works well for dinner, and the design creates a relaxing ambiance

Delicious!!! A vegan must-visit when in NYC. Ippudo V is perhaps the best vegan ramen in the States 😋 highly recommended, and no misses among the appetizers or the entrees.

Ippudo V is truly a hidden gem and I'm thrilled that Ippudo has decided to run with a plant-based concept! The menu features Japanese cuisine and I was very impressed with everything we tried. I'm always on the hunt for vegan sushi and the rolls here are phenomenal - the Super Mario Bro and Brooklyn Bridge Rolls are must-orders. Be warned: there's only 4 pieces per order, you'll want more! Another stellar item were the Brussels Sprouts, which may just be on my list of top Brussels sprouts, as they were cooked to perfection. The Gyoza were great and you couldn't tell they were vegan. My least favorite item was the Maitake Tempura, as I found them to be a bit lacking in flavor. I can't wait to come back and try more of the menu.

The broth at Ippudo V was incredible. I'm shocked at how they can have such a huge place in dumbo, but the restaurant is cavernous and so aesthetically pleasing. I sat at the bar alone and service was good even at the off-peak 3pm time I went. I'd come back often and try more of the menu!

amazing!! incredible!! First, gorgeous location and interior, food is just even better!! First time at Ippudo V and everything was just perfect. I ordered few dishes. Flavor was wonderful. Service was quick and attentive! 10/10 must try!!

My husband, a dedicated meat eater, declared it some of the best ramen he's ever had--and my jaw was on the floor when he said that! The food was absolutely incredible. The ingredients were fresh and perfectly balanced, with nothing overdone or overly processed. The homemade noodles were exceptional, but the sauces truly stole the show. 10/10

I saw the sign for ippudo V around the corner from my gym so I decided to go check it out after my workout. The corner location is sunny and warm, and I loved the garage style windows that rolled up and let the fresh air in. There isn't a ton of foot traffic by that area in Dumbo but the space is simply gorgeous and the menu is quite creative and worthy of a visit. This fifth location frmo Ippudo serves exclusively plant-based versions of their ramen and bao buns. They also have plant-based sushi as well, but I just finished a workout so I decided on a Mango Manifesto ($13) smoothie instead. I loved the housemade vegan whipped cream piped around the sides of the cup and the smoothie was very mango-forward. I didn't taste much of the plant-based protein collagen so if you are sensitive to powders, you will not be put off by their smoothies.

We stumbled into this new restaurant walking around the area. We came in for the sandos but they only serve during the day time. This place is pretty spacious and it was set up like cafe/restaurant style. We got the gyoza, sushi roll and dessert. The gyoza was pretty good and really enjoyed the 3 unique dipping sauces. The sushi roll was vegan and thought it was alright. The imitation eel did taste pretty similar to real eel. We also got drinks hojicha latte and sencha. Both were pretty standard drinks and I believe they source from Kettle. The chocolate mousse cake was really good. It's made out of tofu and has a good texture to it. Overall, pretty solid new restaurant for vegan Japanese food. It's a bit pricy for some of the dishes tho.

This place is a dream. The space is beautifully designed and so welcoming. And the food is simply incredible. The tonkotsu ramen broth was so rich and tasty and the enoki tempura and tofu chashu were incredible. The gyoza were delish too. Can't wait to go back.

Terrible experience. Staff were very unfriendly for no reason. One of the waitresses literally followed us out the door hounding us on something they could improve. Even left a snarky remark at us when we just wanted to leave. Avoid this place.

I feel very mixed giving 4 stars for $30 ramen, but I think the fact that it's vegan but doesn't taste vegan combined with the gorgeous interior of the space may help to justify it?? Everything on the menu is plant based, and while I'm a meat lover through and through, I was very intrigued. Once I got past the sticker shock (typical Ippudo ramen are in the high teens to lower $20's), I decided I needed to try the "tonkotsu" and see for myself how rich they could make a plant based broth that is traditionally pork based. OH MY. they did it. They really did it. How did they get the broth to be so creamy?? So rich?? Answer: mushroom and soy milk? No matter, I was so impressed! The grilled eggplant slice in the tonkotsu was soooo melt in your mouth and the pickled carrots added a nice refreshing zing, while the fried enoki provided a tasty crunch. The husband was less impressed with his shoyu ramen, which is generally lighter than the tonkotsu to begin with, but I still thought they did a great job with the broth. All in all, I don't know the variety of options out there for vegans, but ippudo V did a banging job of delivering on the umami. If I didn't have a side by side comparison I'm not sure that I'd be able to recognize that this broth is plant based! The price is not my cup of tea, but hey, I'll stick with my meat-based $20 ramen!

I came here for dinner with a friend on a Monday night. I'm always excited to try a new vegan Japanese restaurant especially vegan sushi. Planta Queen is my favorite vegan restaurant but it's in Manhattan so I'm always looking for a good vegan restaurant in Brooklyn. The place had a lot of seating and I especially liked the tables near the opened windows. My friend ordered the Pla-Ton (vegan tonkotsu) ramen with vegan noodles, fried enoki mushrooms, and eggplant. I ordered the Super Mario Bros sushi roll (Akazu brown rice, seaweed, avocado, asparagus tempura, marinated carrot, marinated red cabbage, mushroom tempura, plant-based "Tuna" mayo teriyaki sauce, mayo and micro herb). The vegan tonkotsu broth and noodles tasted great and rich. The sushi roll was tasty too. I really liked the mushroom tempura. However, the mayo was not vegan so it's vegetarian sushi, not vegan sushi which would bother people who are vegans. I'm not vegan so it's not a big deal to me. Service was fast and friendly. The place was on the pricey side but I'm glad I tried it.

Incredible ramens. They are insane. Great service. Great vibe. Food is just amazing. Also recommend the crispy corn.

My friends and I stopped in spontaneously for matcha, tea, and coffee. It was a big, bright space with plenty of seating. We sat at the coffee bar as the drinks were being made and they were all delicious. Good strong iced coffees, and the matcha was made properly with a wooden whisk and quality matcha powder. Christina took really good care of us! We loved her energy. I'd definitely come back again and try the other offerings.

Incredible. The food, people, and ambience are all top notch. Thanks for adding a vegan restaurant to Dumbo. If you love ramen and Japanese cuisine, this in one of the best in the city, check it out.

Great vegan ramen, we loved it, must eat for vegan and vegetarians. Daichi No Miso was ordered by three of us and was a hit and so was the Sushi. Christina our server was great.

Ippudo in Brooklyn! And they're plant based! And what's this, they deliver! Wait, why don't they have any of their menu items from their restaurant on their delivery menu? C'mon Ippudo, there are starving vegans that would spend their money on your ramen weekly, but you're not helping. Put your vegan items on your delivery menu. You would have made bank from us by now. Also, update your vegetarian items to vegan with vegan mayo and vegan egg so you don't have to feel guilty calling yourself plant based. Ippudo decision makers, step it up. You put a V in your name, but you don't deliver it, just slinging pork products out the back? WTF?

In today's climate, it's important for a successful business venture to consider consumers' needs and wants. Here comes Ippudo, a well-known Japanese ramen empire with their signature tonkotsu broth. Even a giant needs to heed to diner voices and has introduced the first vegetarian spot from the ramen shop. Despite the lack of 'meat', the bowl is still very hearty and comforting - still he same wavy egg noodle but now cooked in a vegetarian base along with vegetable toppings and obviously no char siu. But the meal still feels satisfying. The Pla-ton ("faux-kotsu") ramen is should probably be the first foray here. The broth is creamy yet loaded with umami. Nothing taste any less stellar than the OG version, including the price point, not that vegetable dishes should be cheaper. Now chat Chikalicious Dessert Bar has closed, having their dessert there is also another advantage point. No line so far, so do take advantage of it, along with the calm and less hectic environment.

I am very confused. Ippudo V only advertises vegan and vegetarian ramen on their website. Excited to order from them, I go to Uber Eats and see pork ramen options but no vegan options? Very misleading.
