Medium Risk NYC Grade: A

Going back to 2024, Ippudo has four inspections in the public record. The most recent visit was on Mar 19, 2026. Medium risk typically reflects a handful of issues that inspectors wrote up but didn't deem critical.

The most recent inspection turned up four violations, more than the two found previously.

When inspectors have written things up, non-food contact surface or equipment made of unacceptable material has been the most frequent reason, cited two times.

That falls roughly in the middle of the pack for Manhattan restaurants. Nothing in the record is alarming, but there's room to improve.
