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.

    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.
