Loved Ippudo (one wind hall) when I was in Fukuoka, Japan last year. This offshoot Kuro-Obi (black belt) of Ippudo is not even close. We had the TanTan ramen $26.30 w/ toppings (corn $2.20, bamboo $3.

Ordered two of the Kuro-obi to go and all they gave me was noodles and bean sprouts. I should have checked before I left but why would they just package bean sprouts and noodle.

Wanted to like it. Did not. Lady was nice enough to go over the wonderful 3 types of noodles they have, just to say that we're not allowed to change to them. The broth of the tonkotsu was pretty good.
