NYC FAVOURITE IVAN RAMEN IS SET TO MAKE ITS UK DEBUT

Ivan Orkin is bringing his successful ramen concept to Islington next month

London’s had an influx of American imports recently, with New England’s much-loved seafood spot Saltie Girl landing in Mayfair last November and LA’s NIGHT+MARKET arriving in Shepherd’s Bush in the shape of new restaurant Chet’s. Now, we’re getting ready to welcome another as Ivan Orkin is coming to Islington with a brand new concept.

In early February, Orkin will settle in for a four-week residency at pop-up venue Neighbourhood with Ivan Mazemen and a menu of the broth-less bowls of ramen that have become a staple at his Tokyo and NYC sites. Expect the likes of:

  • Triple Chicken Triple Garlic Mazemen (fresh garlic, roasted garlic, garlic oil, paitan broth, chicken)
  • Katsu Curry Mazemen (panko breaded chicken breast, Japanese curry, thick rye noodles, assorted fukujinzuki)
  • Cold Sesame Noodles (chilled Szechuan chicken, roasted peppers, preserved chilli, coriander)

The Chef’s Table star first opened Ivan Ramen in Tokyo in 2006 and has since opened a series of acclaimed ramen shops in Japan and New York – this move to London will mark Orkin’s UK debut. It’ll also mark the first international name that Neighbourhood will welcome for a residency.

Opens 9th February 2023
77 Upper Street, Islington, London N1 0NU
