Ivan Ramen - New York

Service is pretty meh here. Our server rushed to ask for a drinks order within seconds of our being seated, then when she returned, we went ahead and ordered everything at once to make her life easier. A lot of non-wait staff ultimately had to cover for her with our table (and they were great). That was pretty much the end of her paying attention to our table. Appetizers (which were delicious) arrived before our hot sake. And then after our ramen was delivered to our table, she never came back to check on us. It would have been nice had she done so, as the soft boiled egg in my tonkatsu ramen was cold (delicious but cold). The mazeman was excellent and the chashu is some of the best in New York, so I would definitely come back another time. It was a busy Friday night, but we also were sitting down to dinner late enough that service was starting to wind down for the evening. By the time we got our check, the restaurant was nearly empty. It's pretty cheap considering the hype surrounding the chef and definitely one of the best quality ramen shops in the city, but some easy misses in there.

Absolutely loved our experience at Ivan Ramen. The food was delicious, fresh, and exceeded my expectations. There were 5 of us so we were able to try multiple dishes and all were excellent. Service was prompt and super friendly. Sat outside in the heated covered area and was perfectly comfortable. Looking forward to going back!!

Terrific food, staff service. Delicious noodles, beer and cheesecake. It was loud but not crowded. Some tables are high tops and some and regular, there is a small bar area too.

My kids and I came down for the ramen and it did not disappoint. We enjoyed the appetizer of fried chicken, our drinks, and our bowls of ramen. It was enjoyable. Clean. And the wait staff service was excellent.

The food was delicious . A little over seasoned the appetizer (fried chicken). The curry flower was awesome. The ramen was good. The service was good as well but it felt overwhelming sometimes.
