What JONATHAN ALBINO ROCHA doesn't like about Ivan Ramen:
From the moment we sat down the servers were trying to rush us out. Really bad experience. They wouldn’t stop trying to get us to leave throughout our time in the restaurant, getting angry when we weeent ready to order, trying to take plates away before we were done, and giving us our check before we asked for it. The tonkatsy ramen was fine but nothing special, the gyoza dumplings the same, and the pork buns were ba... View all feedback. What Stephanie Tjebben likes about Ivan Ramen:
If you need a ramen spot with vegetarian and vegan options, this place is great. It’s a small but thoughtful menu. The food is very good.

Ivan Ramen does not disappoint. If you’re looking for Japanese food that you won’t want to stop eating, this place is a must

The food was absolutely incredible! Our server was oddly standoffish, but the rest of the staff were super kind and welcoming

The reviews for this restaurant are mixed, with some customers experiencing rushed service and average food quality, while others rave about the delicious ramen and appetizers. The servers were criticized for trying to rush customers out and not providing attentive service, but the ramen dishes were praised for their rich flavor and high quality ingredients. Some diners found the portion sizes to be small, while others enjoyed the cozy atmosphere and friendly staff. Overall, the restaurant seems to have its strengths and weaknesses, with some recommending it for a unique ramen experience and inventive appetizers, while others suggest it may not be worth a visit.

Quality always on point and portions are good. Cold Sesame Noodles has a nice kick. Pickled Daikon XO is really refreshing as a starter.

Cant say whether I recommend this or not because they sent a spicy ramen instead of regular tonkotsu that was ordered.
