“We Couldn’t Leave Our Beloved Neighborhood!” — Ippudo Says Arigato to Home of 13 Years… and Moves Down the Block

Hell’s Kitchen ramen favorite Ippudo Westside will close its doors on Sunday after 13 years in the neighborhood. But don’t worry — the restaurant is not going far. Ippudo has been a popular Hell’s Kitchen destination for ramen since it opened in 2013.

The new restaurant will take over the former home of longtime Italian restaurant ViceVersa and its short-lived successor, VV Bar.
