Ivan Ramen "More then Just Ramen!"
Ivan Ramen imagines the Classic NY diner as seen through the Japanese lens. The food is incredible, the service outstanding, the menu is uniquely Ivan Orkin. Ivan Ramen celebrates Ivan’s creativity through the lens of his life journey. His effortless blending of: his New York roots, his classic French training, and his deep understanding of Japan, color the menu and the restaurant. Ramen here is clearly a must, but you should not miss out on the amazing array of other dishes, which are perfect for sharing while you enjoy a well selected sake. Casual, comfortable and quirky with splashes of art inspired by pop culture and movies, Ivan Ramen is simply a fun restaurant.

    Still our favourite ramen in New York. The lemon miso brussel sprouts are worth a visit on their own. Great vegan ramen too.

    It is so good to be back at Ivan Ramen! We loved the pickles and curry flower - so addictively delicious and was perfect before the ramen! The Tokyo Shio, Paitan and Red Chili are all awesome! Thank you so much, we will be back soon!

    Very good Ramen, we ordered the Shio ramen and the Tonkotsu ramen and both were delicious. Highlights were the eggs, the tomato in the shio (I ordered extra tomatoes) and the pork belly which was very well balanced between meat and fat. Dont forget to add chilli oil, especially in the shio broth, really elevates the broth.

    The food was really good, especially the ramen broth and the starter lemon miso Brussel sprouts. The service was also really good. As I had dinner solo I was placed on the bar (even though I had booked a table) which is not the most comfortable place - you are sitting super close to the next person - and next to the door which was opening and closing all the time, so that's why the fewer stars in some cases. This is a place for fast eating.

    We were excited to have dinner here. Unfortunately, despite wonderful service, the ramen was not good. The flavors were overwhelming and we barely ate 1/8 of our ramen. The brussel sprouts were wonderful. And the service was excellent and fun.
