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.

Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
Ivan Ramen is a must-visit for its "best ramen in the world," with dishes like Chicken Paitan and Tonkotsu stealing the show. Guests rave about the "amazing service" and friendly atmosphere. While some mention table spacing and wait times, the "delicious food" and attentive staff make every visit worthwhile.

    We waited 30 minutes for our table. They then sat us outside, and said we would be notified and moved when our inside table became available. They never notified us. There was really no point in having a reservation at all

    Tonkotsu Ramen and Triple Pork Triple Garlic were both delicious ramen dishes! We also loved the schmaltz-fried gyoza which was amazingly good. Our server inadvertently put our order in wrong so we accidentally got the soy-garlic fried chicken as well (on the house). Looking forward to returning and trying other dishes on the menu!!

    The appetizers were delicious, especially the eggplant. We’re all ordered ramen and agreed the Jiro was the best. Very nice decor and the back porch looked lovely for an outdoor spot.

    The chicken paitan Ramen might be the best Ramen I’ve had in the city. Deliciously flavorful, and the service was impeccable! Will definitely be returning

    I took two friends that were visiting from Germany, and they loved this gem of a restaurant. We had 3 different types of ramen and the special dumplings of the night (lamb!) and it was delightful. Wonderful and attentive service— one of the ramen orders got dropped but the team got one out quickly and gave our friend a sake to make up for it. All in all, a great night!

    A trip to NYC is truly incomplete unless we have dinner at Ivan Ramen. We have been coming here since they opened and it’s a real gem. The appetizers like pickles and friend chicken and chicken wings are amazing. The ramen is, obviously, the star of the show and we love that they do a chicken base since we don’t eat pork. Every bite here is insanely delicious, the ambiance is low key and fun, beers and wines are great and staff is wonderful. We adore Jose at the bar but everyone is the best.
