Ivan Ramen is one of those restaurants that foodies are absolutely obsessed with. New York-born chef Ivan Orkin lived in Japan in the 1980s while teaching English, came back to the states and went to culinary school and worked in some major NYC restaurants, then moved back to Japan and opened his first ramen shop in Tokyo. It became one of the most prominent eateries to help spark the modern global ramen craze, and Orkin eventually returned to New York and brought Ivan Ramen with him in 2013.
Highly acclaimed yet casual culinary concepts like this one have made their way to Las Vegas in recent years as part of the current food hall trend.
