    Been here 5+ times
    Delicious food but atrocious ambience. Unbearably loud and in desperate need of a temporary winter door.

    tried this place twice, underwhelming both times. Shoyu and spicy chili ramen are both okay. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    Not a fan of the rye noodles. The broth is very light/delicate, which is intentional, so while not my style - I TOTALLY appreciate the execution

    Nice chicken broth (what Ivan is famous for), noodles are too soft for my taste though.

    Get the shoyu. The cheese mazeman is basically Mac and cheese. Not great if you want ramen.

    Fine tasting ramen, but should an egg cost an additional $2?

    If you're coming here from Chef's table and expect to be a great Japanese ramen, don't.

    I'm super disappointed. Got to try 4 ramens and none of them taste good. Very salty and pricey.

    The chicken paitan is the specialty. The ramen is good here, but not worth a long trip or wait

    Larger menu selection but I still prefer the mazeman at the Gotham Market location. Expect to wait about 45 min - 1 hour for seating.

    Good, but momofuku is better. I got the vegetarian ramen but thought the shio was much more flavorful.

    Staff is friendly. We ordered 3 different ramen from the menu. All were below the expectations. Disappointed. Chicken wings were delicious as starter.
