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 is my first time and New York and I work in the service industry in Charlotte NC and this was one of the better experiences I've had. Foo, was I credible especially the wagyu pastrami buns were a highlight. The food was filling yet the courses were timed so well that we weren't to full between appetizers and mains. Service was great for a small team dealing with a high energy environment in a tight space. Would highly recommend to my friends or anyone that lives in NYC.

    Amazing experience! The server was kind and interacted with our family even though they were very busy. She offered her favorites on the menu and helped refill drinks for our kids without asking. She was speedy to deliver food and offered dessert menu. We just loved the Yuzu Kakigori - very fun and tasty! Positive vibes and memories for my family - just as we hoped!

    Amazing food choices, we got the spicy miso ramen and it was the spiciest ramen I had ever tasted and the broth was savory and rich and delish. A bit pricy but worth it in quality and quantity. We will definitely be back and found the best ramen spot in the city.

    Best of the best. Best ramen in the city for sure, but you can leave without a few of the appetizers as well.
