Ivan OrkinChef

Description

Chef Ivan Orkin launched this flagship after building a following at two Tokyo locations. The kitchen pairs slow-cooked noodles with izakaya starters, highlighted by pork buns, crispy eggplant, and potato salad. The signature tonkotsu ramen features jammy, amber-yolked soft eggs, though opinions on the broth's authenticity are mixed. While the service is attentive and child-friendly, the dining room is small and tends to feel cramped and noisy at peak hours.
