Pipo Ramen & Rice

My friend and I met here for lunch. We both ordered the Pipo Curry Ramen and we both loved it! We both said we’d be back.

The best pork belly basil in town

We ate tonkatsu ramen, shoyu ramen and miso ramen.

Ramen comes to mind when the weather is cool and raining! Ever since I heard Pipo Ramen & Rice is on the Top 100 Places to Eat in Sacramento, I have been wanting to try this place. It's located in South Sacramento, off 65th Street, in this quiet plaza with plenty of parking. We came here for dinner a little before 6:00 pm on weekdays, and we were the only customers. The place is clean, tidy, and spacious with a high ceiling. We sat down and were given the menu and water right away. At first, I thought this was a Japanese/Ramen restaurant because of the name. After looking at the menu, it turns out it's a Thai restaurant. Either way, I enjoy both Japanese and Thai food. I love duck, so I immediately knew I wanted the Crispy Duck Fried Rice. I was surprised that the duck breast was served on top of the basil fried rice, instead of diced and cooked together with the fried rice. I really like that because I can see what part of the duck I'm eating. It's also delicious! The duck was crispy and savory. The basil and Thai seasoning add unique flavors to the fried rice. Generous portion. I would definitely get this again. 5/5 We also got the Tonkotsu Ramen. It's your typical ramen with the standard toppings and ramen egg (ajituske tamago). The broth is creamy and not too salty. It really is perfect for the rainy weather. 4/5 The service was great. The server was friendly and checked on us a couple of times. We can't wait to come back and taste other dishes.

Very understandable and generous stuff. Food is amazing

The food here always tastes fresh and amazing. One of my favorite restaurants in town! Their basil chopped chicken is my favorite!

I came here and grabbed a few things to go for the first time and I’m obsessed! Wish I had known about them sooner. Walking in I was surprised because it’s actually really nice inside, modern design, high ceilings, spacious. I ordered the soft shell crab curry ramen, and the seafood Tom yum ramen. While I was waiting for my ramen I had asked what the Mango Pipo drink was, and the guy helping me just made me one to try, he was so nice! The food portions are good for the price, and everything was so fresh and flavorful. The broth for both soups were so rich and had really good depth of flavor. The textures of the ramen and the seafood were perfect too. I think this place is going to be my new fixation. Wheelchair accessibility: Completely accessible lots of space between seats, even had a spot at the bar that is catered to wheelchair users.
