Get the Spicy Red Chili or the Triple Pork Triple Garlic and snag a table outside in the back
Kira FisherMarch 7, 2016
Come for brunch and try the creamy, delicious breakfast ramen.
Daniel MartinNovember 19, 2022
Tonkotsu Ramen is okay - egg disappointed, broth was not umami enough, noodles were good, pork kashu was too piggy 7/10 Caro-Points
Eric HoMay 9, 2016
Yummy Ramen and backyard seating.
Colin LeeNovember 12, 2017
Chicken Paitan ramen is great and delicious . I would not order the tofu Coney Island again.

Can't go wrong with any of the ramens here, they're all amazing.
Ryan GallagherOctober 8, 2018
Really good beer options. The ramen is really solid.
Blake OlmsteadOctober 28, 2015
The staff is always helpful—if you can't decide they'll help you make the right choice. Extra broth? Order extra noodles.
Serious EatsMay 27, 2014
The tofu coney island sounds strange but tastes great. The epitome of Ivan Orkin's Japanese-American balance.
Sharon MalaconApril 22, 2017
The ramen is good... but I've tried better ones... be careful because some of the ramen comes without broth (weird).... and I think it's expensive compared to others
Allison YuJanuary 27, 2015
I personally love the dry noodles more. I've never been satisfied with any of the apps I've tried though
Gunnar AasenApril 26, 2015
The noodles here are good and the praise is well deserved. I like the triple pork triple garlic mazeman.

Spicy Ramen is indeed quite spicy, but the delicious is worth the pain.
GillianJune 19, 2016
Mazeman❤️❤️ we had a bean starter special with nori that was amazing. Service was great!
Amina HussainSeptember 7, 2014
all the hype is real - try the triple pork triple ramen and the jfc as an app
Elie BleierAugust 15, 2014
Creative dishes. Absolutely loved the triple pork garlic mazeman! Get the sour beer as well.
Olivier DesmoulinNovember 23, 2016
Triple pork mazemen is good. Like the atmosphere of the place
Amanda GluckFebruary 25, 2015
Triple pork triple garlic mazemen. It's a light sauce, not a broth. Get it.
Jeremy BekerJuly 6, 2018
The chicken wings were amazing. I wasn't as impressed with the ramen as I had hoped, but still very good.
Micah MoreauOctober 10, 2016
Ivan is legit, but it's portions are smaller and more expensive than you'd expect. Broth and the rye noodles are delicious, but don't go in a hurry.
Noah WeissSeptember 8, 2014
It's fine. You expect greatness, and you get an average, slightly pricey meal. The triple pork triple garlic mazeman is worth getting.
Brook ShelleyMay 31, 2015
Damn, these noodles will have you shouting, "kaedama" and making pleasure noises. Delicious
Sandra RubinchikMarch 9, 2015
Spicy red chili ramen packed just the right amount of heat.
Steve KaliskiJuly 3, 2017
Spicy Chili Ramen is 🔥💯
Paris Piedade NetoOctober 31, 2017
Triple Pork Garlic Mazemen is the best !!!
Rahul SenJuly 6, 2015
Mazemen over Shio/Shoyu for flavor - anytime!!
Neelu RaviFebruary 14, 2018
The owner of this place is featured in one of the episodes of Chefs table (Netflix series). I was so excited to try this place out. Unfortunately, it didn’t meet my expectation. Hyped up!
Michelle LJune 15, 2014
The Tokyo Ship Ramen is so delicious. One of my favorite broths in the city!

Order the scrapple waffle (but don't Google what scrapple is). The fried chicken was also good, mainly for the liver parts.
John XieMay 15, 2014
Fully-loaded Triple Pork Triple Garlic Mazemen in the backyard with a Sapporo on a warm summer day. 🍜☀️
Marc AsghariApril 30, 2019
It’s one of the better ones, although they don’t the spicy well
Gideon OlshanskyMarch 13, 2016
The shio ramen is a classic, and the fried oysters and latke are a nice treat
Nicole FormicaOctober 21, 2017
If they have them, start with the pork buns!
Charlotte ChanJuly 28, 2017
My friend and I had the chili Ramen and the veggie Ramen. The noodles texture was unique and very good. However, both broths were too salty, felt greasy after having them. Too pricy for what it is.
Rodrigo CantalejoSeptember 19, 2017
When the Ramen lost the soul. I have very high expectations before go to Ivan Ramen... but what I found its a very normal Ramen, without flavor... Netflix 1 - Ramen 0
Christopher TaiJanuary 12, 2015
Start with the braised beef tongue and finish with the Triple Pork Triple Garlic Mazemen!
y contentJune 27, 2014
cool, lively atmosphere both indoors and out. and that triple pork mazemen is no joke. #treatyoself
MichelleAugust 7, 2017
Some seriously amazing ramen here! Cool bar where you can watch the staff cook.

Tongue appetizer, shoyu ramen, and seasonal cold seafood lemon and shiso ramen
Kris ConcepcionJune 13, 2015
A unique, spicy ramen that will hit the spot.

Triple pork, triple garlic ftw. The tongue and scrapple appetizers were great too.
Sam GilDecember 8, 2017
Triple pork was amazing. With the best ramen I’ve had. Bit pricey.
Monica DamashekJune 6, 2014
Tokyo shio ramen, pickled daikon and sake - great combo for solo dining at the counter.
Inna Ben ZeevDecember 30, 2014
Very strong dashi flavored soup. On the smallish portion side (compared to traditional ramen). Wasn't hot enough. The place was to warm inside. Ok ramen, not great if you're a ramen pro.

My favorite is the triple pork triple garlic mazeman. It's simply amazing, man! *rimshot*
Lena B.October 3, 2019
The eggplant starter is delicious
Jacob GyllenstiernaMay 29, 2017
Get the tofu, pork buns and Tokyo shio ramen with roasted tomatoes.
Tim JulienMarch 8, 2015
triple pork triple garlic is really good (p.s. it doesn't have much broth, just so you know)
Brian StraussMay 16, 2015
Non-traditional take on the classics. The triple pork noodles were insanely good.
Iñaki AranzadiDecember 29, 2016
Try green with garlic, and dry shrimps appetizers. Ramen is ok, very simple, don't expect and awesome ramen.
