Ramen IPPUDO Le Thanh Ton

Ramen IPPUDO Le Thanh Ton is a Japanese ramen restaurant on Lê Thánh Tôn in District 1, Ho Chi Minh City. The restaurant is part of a global chain founded in Hakata, Japan. It specializes in serving tonkotsu ramen, a style known for its rich pork-bone broth. The venue sits within the area often called Ho Chi Minh City’s “Japan Town.”

The menu features several signature ramen bowls. The Shiromaru Classic offers a traditional, milky tonkotsu broth. The Akamaru Modern presents a richer, more contemporary version of the broth. Other varieties include the spicy Karaka-Men. The kitchen prepares its broth by simmering pork bones for many hours. Diners can customize the firmness of their noodles.

Beyond ramen, the restaurant serves a selection of side dishes. The menu lists appetizers such as Hakata-style gyoza, pork buns, and fried chicken karaage. The restaurant also offers rice bowls and salads. The dining space features an open kitchen. This allows guests to observe the chefs preparing the ramen.

Shigemi Kawahara founded the first IPPUDO in Fukuoka in 1985. The brand expanded globally, opening its first international store in 2008. The name IPPUDO translates to “one wind hall.” The Le Thanh Ton location is one of several branches operating in Vietnam, bringing the brand’s established recipes and format to the city.
