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.

This place was recommended by a friend and I'm so grateful for the tip. I had the wagyu pastrami bun and Spicy Chilli Ramen, both were fantastic. The service was great and the atmosphere of the restaurant chilled but professional. Would recommend this for anyone who has experienced ramen in Japan but looking for that New York flair, the taste and inspiration are there in abundance.

Great place to eat ramen it’s tasty the fried chicken is really good but the portion is just getting smaller or something but at this moment the ramen bowl is very small for the traditional ramen size. It would be a lot better if they use beautiful ramen bowls and not simple white bowl that you would get in a dozen for a good price in ikea. But other then that the people are nice and a good place to at least try.
