A FIRST IN THE WORLD: IPPUDO RAMEN BAR LAUNCHES AT UPTOWN BONIFACIO

Uptown Bonifacio welcomes an exciting new culinary destination as Standard Hospitality Group (SHG), in collaboration with IPPUDO (Chikaranomoto Holdings), unveils Ippudo Ramen Bar—a pioneering concept that reimagines the ramen experience like never before.

This world-first dining concept elevates Ippudo’s signature ramen craftsmanship with a contemporary and high-energy atmosphere designed for the modern diner. Seamlessly blending tradition with innovation, Ippudo Ramen Bar introduces a sleek, stylish setting and a redefined menu that takes Japanese dining to new heights.

Staying true to its roots, Ippudo Ramen Bar features its iconic tonkotsu ramen, alongside never-before-seen exclusive ramen creations made specially for this concept. Beyond ramen, the menu expands to include sushi and sashimi by handroll specialist @koyo.ph, as well as an array of small plates, mains, and premium highballs expertly crafted by an award-winning bartender—delivering a bold and well-rounded dining experience.

Designed in partnership with Hong Kong-based architecture firm DEFT, led by SHG Creative Director Michael Concepcion, the restaurant’s interiors reflect a harmonious balance between Japanese tradition and modern aesthetics—with clean lines, warm textures, and an inviting, high-energy atmosphere. The innovation extends to the uniforms, crafted in collaboration with Commonwealth and its founder, Omar Quiambao, adding a stylish touch to the dining experience.

"We are excited to introduce Ippudo Ramen Bar at Uptown Bonifacio, a concept that both honors Ippudo’s legacy and redefines it for a new generation of diners," shares John Concepcion, CEO and Founder of Standard Hospitality Group. "With an exciting new menu, dynamic ambiance, and reimagined Japanese dining, we look forward to welcoming both loyal fans and first-time guests to experience this fresh take on ramen culture."

The arrival of Ippudo Ramen Bar at Uptown Bonifacio further solidifies the township’s reputation as a hub for premium lifestyle experiences and top-tier culinary destinations. With SHG’s continued expansion—including 12 new store openings across its portfolio of premium casual dining concepts—this new dining spot is set to become a must-visit for ramen lovers and Japanese food enthusiasts alike.
