Calling all soup sippers, noodle slurpers, and ramen lovers<\/a> of all stripes. A brand new set is landing in London this week (today in fact) that you won\u2019t want to miss. None other than Ivan Orkin (of \u2018Chef\u2019s Table\u2019 and Ivan Ramen fame) is finally opening up his first permanent ramen shop here in London<\/strong>. It\u2019s set to become the hottest destination for ramen in the city.<\/p>\n Ivan Ramen opens in Clerkenwell this week, on November 19<\/a> \u2013 that\u2019s today!<\/strong> The restaurant is walk-in only, so be prepared to queue because it\u2019s sure to be a popular spot. But it\u2019ll be worth it for a taste of the internationally renowned food that people have travelled across the world to try. Plus, he\u2019s even come up with a special new dish inspired by our city\u2019s own culinary history.<\/p>\n Ivan Orkin \u2013 ramen master <\/p>\n To those unfamiliar with the ramen master, Ivan Orkin isn\u2019t quite what you\u2019d picture as a world-renowned creative force in ramen. But anyone who has watched the lauded \u2018Chef\u2019s Table\u2019 series will be more than familiar with the man. A lifelong obsession with ramen led Orkin to dive deep into the tradition of the dish and the surrounding culture, before opening his first shop in Tokyo<\/a> in 2006.<\/strong><\/p>\n In the time since, he has also opened up shop in his home town of New York City<\/a>, and even Las Vegas. And now, it\u2019s our turn as he turns his eye to a London opening.<\/strong><\/p>\n Ivan Orkin, Founder of Ivan Ramen, said:<\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cTokyo, New York\u2026 and now London! What an incredible honor to share our food in three of the world\u2019s most iconic cities. London isn\u2019t just a world-class restaurant destination. It is home to one of the most exciting ramen scenes anywhere. I\u2019ve always loved this city, and I\u2019m beyond thrilled to finally be a part of it.\u201d<\/p>\n This isn\u2019t the first time Londoners have been able to try his food. Back in 2023, a sold-out pop-up landed in our city for a few months, doling out bowls of Ivan Ramen\u2019s mazemen (a brothless ramen). But now we can finally taste even more of the ramen maestro\u2019s food. <\/strong><\/p>\n On the menu at Ivan Ramen <\/p>\n Obviously, the main draw here is the ramen<\/strong>, and guests can slurp away on classics like the Tonkotsu (rich pork broth and shoyu-braised pork chashu) and Tori Paitan (rich chicken broth, minced chicken, egg yolk, crispy togarashi chicken). The Spicy Miso Red Chilli is also sure to be a hit with London\u2019s spice-seekers<\/a>.<\/p>\n But don\u2019t go ignoring the rest of the menu. As you might guess by its relatively restrained offering, ramen may be in the name, but Ivan Orkin has directed his passion to perfecting all of the dishes.<\/strong> Other options include Chicken Gyozas, Ivan\u2019s Karaage, Crispy Nasu (a fried aubergine dish), and more.<\/p>\n London even has its own special dish on the menu in the form of a Salt Beef Bun<\/strong>. This dish is \u201cinspired by the flavours of a classic East End bagel and filled with warm salt beef, pickled cucumbers, and fiery karashi mustard mayo.\u201d<\/p>\n ![\"ivan](\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Ivan-Ramen-Clinton-Street-2017-1119.jpg\"\/)
