Following the success of Ippudo’s flagship European restaurant in Central St Giles, the Japanese ramen specialist is to open its second UK restaurant in Canary Wharf this summer.
Ippudo Canary Wharf will offer many of the same signature dishes that has seen it become one of the most popular ramen restaurants in Japan as well as in Sydney, Singapore, Hong Kong and Manhattan.
With thirty years of history and tradition behind it, Ippudo will bring an authentic menu of Hakata-style (tonkotsu pork broth base) ramen to Canary Wharf. Signature dishes will include the Shiromaru Classic, a traditional white pork-based broth ramen and Akamaru Modern, a bolder, richer tasting broth seasoned with garlic oil and Ippudo’s secret miso paste (Umami-dama). Both varieties include freshly-made noodles (made in house daily by Ippudo) that are topped with roast pork, bean sprouts, and spring onions. Vegetarian versions of both the Shiromaru and Akamaru will also be available, made from a rich seaweed and mushroom broth topped with noodles, fried tofu and bean sprouts. The comprehensive ramen menu will sit alongside bespoke dishes exclusive to the UK that marry Japanese flavours with high quality British produce.
A no reservations policy will operate in the 65-cover restaurant, located in the brand new 115,000 sq ft Crossrail development.
A collaborative East meets West design ethos will be responsible for the aesthetics of Ippudo Canary Wharf, with Myu Planning creating the interiors within the Stiff + Trevillion designed setting.
Founded as an independent ramen restaurant in Fukuoka, Japan, by Shigemi Kawahara in 1985, ramen specialists Ippudo now operate over 120 restaurants across 13 different countries, serving more than 50,000 bowls of ramen each day.
