Ivan Ramen

Ivan Orkin gained fame in Tokyo for his ramen before returning to New York City to open this shop. He mastered the craft by spending years navigating the intense culinary culture of Japan, where he became one of the few foreigners to successfully operate a ramen shop. His signature dish features a rye noodle that he developed himself to bring a unique texture and flavor profile to the traditional bowl. The shop serves as a bridge between Japanese techniques and American ingredients, reflecting his own journey between the two countries.
