Ramen is delicious, appetizers are delicious too...oh and the waiters are pretty cute ;)
Alice LiFebruary 27, 2017
Poor presentation (the bowl was very dirty when served), and extremely salty. I got the Tonkotsu ramen and the soup was murky and tasted like pure sodium. Really had to try hard to finish my bowl.

Appetizers are better than the ramen, also, host made you wait almost 40 min for a table and seat you at the bar saying that the bar is also table service, lack of communication wins! :(

Pork meatballs, ramen is okay but their pork meatballs are out of this world.

The spicy red chili ramen should be renamed the honey boo boo ramen - instead of pasta with ketchup it's ramen with franks red hot.. & some hot water - gross
Christina RosadoMay 10, 2014
The ramen is yum! Broth is super flavorful and the noodles were perfection 👌
Yera HaAugust 16, 2014
The Lancaster Okonomiyaki, the scrapple waffle, is a weird mixture of flavors and textures that ends up being really enjoyable
Mahesh Paolini-SubramanyaAugust 23, 2014
The appetizers are better than the ramen (which is good too)
Eric VanderSchaafMarch 22, 2019
The cauliflower appetizer is so damn good. A must!
GavinJune 20, 2015
Ramen and broth quality has changed within the year that I have discovered Ivan ramen and it now feels overpriced for mediocre, hyped up ramen. I would still recommend the shoyu ramen.

Super nice staff. Their appetizers are 2pc but they added a 3rd because we had three people

Triple pork triple garlic mazemen all the way
Ryan AmbsApril 29, 2015
Shio was safe but nothing special. Spicy looked like a bit much and I regret not getting the triple. Beef tongue, prawns, and mushrooms all average. Meatballs were my favorite app fwiw

Spicy chili ramen is incredible. Actually beats hide chan Red Dragon for me!

The chicken ramen was phenomenal
Nicole AptekarAugust 21, 2014
The veggie ramen is delicious! Comes with a roasted tomato, which is pretty surprising.
Berta CMarch 27, 2016
Chicken tan tan ramen - very flavoursome
Melody HanDecember 31, 2015
Inventive ramen but pricey with the fixings - the mushroom noodles are where it's at
Michael HaaralaMarch 12, 2017
Pork buns. Tempura mushrooms. Shio ramen. Ivan Palmer. Meal of champs!
Roniel TesslerNovember 15, 2018
This place is the real deal. Chicken ramen has the umami you're craving.
Christine WooMay 14, 2014
Mazemen > ramen here. Be sure to order one of the inventive apps here.
Yera HaAugust 16, 2014
If you're looking for something with a kick, the spicy red chili ramen is what you want.
Hillary YuanFebruary 9, 2016
tried this place twice, underwhelming both times. Shoyu and spicy chili ramen are both okay. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Chris GampatJanuary 6, 2019
Their noodles and thick and gorgeous. Totally worth it.

Spicy Red Chili Ramen and a few Sapporos is the best hangover cure ever.

The manzeman is much thinner than at Yuji and therefore a little less "interesting to me"

Really loved this place. Get the spicy chili ramen
David HuDecember 14, 2014
Pickled daikon with shrimp things is amazing. Must order.
Saarim ZamanSeptember 19, 2015
Get the tonkutsu tsukemen, it's better than the other ramen options
Jonathan KramerSeptember 8, 2014
The noodles are fantastic and the vegetarian option is an excellent surprise.
amrigJuly 7, 2015
The triple pork, triple garlic, mazemen is worth the wait.
James TaylorMay 15, 2015
Spicy chili ramen!
HolidayApril 30, 2017
Gluten free tofu noodles for the sensitive types. Top slurping!
Kristina RudicOctober 1, 2016
Definitely get the spicy ramen. Not overpowered by spice but it's full of flavor.
Julie HanOctober 17, 2017
rye noodles ramen: chicken paitan is one of my faves
Norma RAugust 6, 2014
Shio ramen has a lighter broth for those who don't want to feel super bloated after their meal
S GMay 7, 2017
Amazing ramen, try to get a seat in the patio

Triple garlic triple pork fully loaded is incredible. Ippudo can't touch it.
Tim FaustiniAugust 7, 2014
Their spicy ramen will have you sweating. Solid beer selection too.
Vivek BhagwatAugust 18, 2014
The triple pork triple garlic mazemen is not at all traditional, but amazing
Sean PatrickJune 20, 2014
Small portions. Triple pork, triple garlic mazemen is good, but price/portion ratio is way off. Deviled thousand year eggs are just deviled eggs with bonito flakes - good, but not $3.50 a pop good.
Ru LuFebruary 22, 2015
The artwork see really stood out compared to other ramen places. Original dishes were good.
Stephen GrazianoDecember 5, 2014

Shio and shoyu are the way to go (unless you can handle the garlic). The waffle is overrated.
Chad CombsApril 29, 2016
Come for the ramen; but be sure not to miss the small plates.
leo kyivJune 30, 2020
Cold sesame noodles is so good!must try
MeetchJuly 12, 2015
Whoa....LES buns. And the summer ramen with crab salad...
alexandra kOctober 11, 2014
