Very quick, perfect for lunch on the strip. I have had a LOT of ramen, and my order held its own. Tried the spicy miso ramen and the cold sesame noodles (seasonal). Both were delicious, very well-balanced, and served in adequate portions. Would recommend, had been wanting ramen for days & this hit the spot! Spent $50 for two entrees + a water bottle. For Vegas, pretty reasonable! read more

Tried some of my boyfriend's Mom's food and this place was pretty good! Gyoza had a nice crisp and a small kick of heat - I enjoyed it. The cha siu bowl was extremely flavorful and the meat was tender - I would say less sauce would be better though. Overall, a tasty meal and I'd recommend this place :) read more

Absolutely incredible flavor and quick service! Great value for the price too! The spicy ramen packs a punch and is delicious. read more

Got the spicy ramen.Noodles were thinner side and overcooked.Just go to a nice restaurant if you can.Save your stomach space for something better read more

Stopped by this ramen restaurant last week and it wasn't good at all. We got 4 ramens: chicken and pork. The ones with the pork broth were a little bit better but chicken had not flavor at all. It was so disappointing, I don't recommend it. Staff was friendly and it's on a food court so there plenty tables. Nice environment read more

Ivan Ramen - Ramen Near Me - Las Vegas, Nevada

"Ivan" is one unfamiliar ramen eatery, at least for me. Tasted not bad, but definitely on the salty side, and the noodle used was belittle lack of texture, comparing to familiar traditional Japanese noodles. Also, they didn't include one of the essential toppings: bamboo shoots strips. read more

Flavor flavor flavor. Wagyu Pastrami Bun and Cold Sesame Noodles were the best lunch for a quick bite on the go before a flight. Unique menu packs a punch with spices and umami goodness. Will be a Vegas tradition to make a stop here if ever at the Venetian. read more

I stopped by Ivan Ramen at The Venetian and only tried the Tonkotsu Ramen--but wow, what a first impression. The broth was rich, creamy, and packed with umami, the noodles had that perfect chew, and the pork was melt-in-your-mouth tender. The service was great--friendly, attentive, and quick. The place is spotless, and watching the cooks work their magic right in front of you adds an extra layer of excitement to the whole experience. I'm giving 4.2 stars only because I didn't try more of the menu (yet!). I can't wait to come back and explore the other ramen and sides. If one bowl was this good, I know the rest will be amazing. read more

Ivan Ramen - TONKOTSU RAMEN - Ramen Near Me - Las Vegas, Nevada

I think that was the worst ramen I tried in a long time. I ordered Spice Miso ramen - it was more like a stew than a ramen soup. The quality of the noodles were bad. Asked for tap water, they did not have any. You would need to buy water. My husband tried Tonkatsu ramen and did not like it too. I do not recommend this place at all. read more

Not good. Spicy miso ramen was cold and tasted "off". Took two bites and throwing away. Gross.

We got the tonkotsu ramen - it was decent but on the saltier side. It kind of tasted pretty oily as well. The picture had an egg so I assumed it came with it but it didn't so was kind of disappointed especially since it cost around $20. Portion are on the smaller side so if you are super hungry you may not be full. This is located in the Venetian food court. read more

During a recent trip I decided to give Ivan a try. I went to the NYC location many years ago and remember liking it. Maybe it was the location or maybe it's just gone downhill in general but the ramen I got (Tonkatsu) was one of the worst I've ever had. I know the whole purpose is to be 'different' but in this way. The noodles had no texture, the broth was uneventful and the pork was poorly flavored. The service was decently quick and the seating is shared with 5 or 6 other places. If you're a fan of ramen I would remove this from your list. read more

The yuzu kakigori was the highlight of our meal -- it reminded me of a lemon meringue dessert but with a refreshing twist. The yuzu curd hidden in the middle of the shaved ice was my favorite part -- very tart! It's a generous portion that can easily feed 2 to 3 people, making it perfect for sharing. I thought the price was fair for the size considering it's Vegas. The service was great too. Highly recommend if you're looking for something unique and refreshing to end your meal. read more

This shop is located within the Via Via food hall inside the Venetian. We ordered a ramen which came out to about $21 before tip. The broth was extremely salty with flavor being overpowered by sesame oil. There was also barely any noodles - maybe about enough for 10 bites or so. With a ton of other stores in this food hall at similar price points, I think there are definitely higher quality options elsewhere. Would not come again and don't recommend. read more

Decent for a quick stop ramen but wouldn't come back, their ramen bowls barely have enough broth. Tonkotsu ramen was decent but the spicy miso was so un-enjoyably spicy, i ate only a 10th of it so unfortunately that was wasted and I had to find lunch elsewhere. read more

I am writing this review because it was the worst pork chashu Ramen I have ever had. It was one piece of chashu in the entire ramen. Despicable for the price that it costs! I will never go back! This was the half of the only piece of pork chashu! Absolutely terrible. The rest of the soup tastes good, so extremely disappointed in the cheap portion of pork. Servers were nice though. Ambiance seating was cafeteria like and extremely loud and uncomfortable, although I expected that. read more

Ivan Ramen - Half of a piece of the only piece of pork chashu in the ramen - Ramen Near Me - Las Vegas, Nevada

We can be kind of judgy about places that have less that 4 star reviews, so I might have passed on this place because of it.. but I always read the reviews themselves to determine whether I should go or not.. so here you go. I wasn't super hungry, just looking for a nice snack, so I may have not needed two things but I enjoyed them both. The Curry cauliflower was deliciously surprising! I don't generally like the katsuobushi (it's a light fish flavor so if you're not into fishy then get it on the side to try it or do what I did and just scoop it off mostly so it's not too much.) It's got little green onions and I loved the shoga (red ginger) and the red tsukemono (the red pickled kind you get typically with Japanese curry dishes). The Curry flavor is just right and not too much, and the crunch on the cauliflower was perfect. I also got the Wagyu pastrami buns. I know people were complaining about the amount of meat but it is just right for the amount of room in the folded "duck bread type" bao. There are some fatty bites (they always happen with pastrami) so I pulled those parts out. The sauce was pretty tasty and went well with the overall bite of pastrami, sauerkraut and bao bread. The half and half drink wasn't my fave, I think I would've preferred just to have the barley tea (I love barley tea!) so that's what I'll get next time. The service was fast and since I got to sit at the bar on the nice cushiony seat I got to see them make my food, which was pretty cool. ;) read more

I wasn't expecting much from food hall ramen in Vegas, but Ivan Ramen completely proved me wrong! The Shio ramen is outstanding: the broth is rich and balanced, the noodles have just the right bite, and the Ajitsuke Tamago was absolute perfection. Come for the ramen, but don't miss the Yuzu Kakigori. I've had kakigori in Japan and order it anytime I see it on a menu. This one ranks among the very best. Every element felt intentional: the silky yuzu curd, the crunchy cookie crumbles, the delicate shaved ice, and the bright punch of yuzu juice. The textures and flavors came together like a symphony. It's massive, easily shareable, and truly unforgettable. Highly recommend both the ramen and the dessert. This spot is a gem! read more

Ivan Ramen - Spicy Miso Ramen - Ramen Near Me - Las Vegas, Nevada

Over priced The pork chashu rice bowl was over spiced and the chicken karage was too salty. The Tokyo Ramen was mid and not worth 20 dollars. I think I could of had more with a cup a noodle read more

Worse ramen ever... the guy at the counter try's to angle you so bad for a tip... but why should I tip when my ramen broth comes out cold as ice... man what a waste of 19$... cannot recommend read more

The yuzu kakigori is HUGE and amazing! It was the only truly great thing I had in Vegas on this trip. Everything else was bad to mediocre including the Michelin star Chinese restaurant and the ramen here. But the yuzu kakigori was maybe the best I've ever had!! It's absolutely humongous, perfect texture, and incredible flavor throughout. The guy making it took such care and just kept making it bigger! I was in a hurry and almost told him at half way that was enough! The guy should get a bonus for making it so amazing. If only all of Vegas was like this. read more

Ivan Ramen - Yuzu kakigori - incredible!!! - Ramen Near Me - Las Vegas, Nevada

the food was bland it's pretty much water and ramen, service was slow too I waited at least 20 minutes for my food I would not order again.

It wasn't bad, but certainly wasn't good. Got the tonkotsu. It had black garlic oil, which I like. It kept me very full for some reason.

i loved the vegan ramen! it included a lot of vegetables that i don't think most ramen places have. it was kinda hard to find but it's tucked in a cute food court read more

Great little spot tucked into the corner of Venetians food hall. Loved the pickles as well as the ramen.

The shaved ice was good. The ramen was too salty. It was spicy but not in a good way.

Clean, friendly, price was a little high, but the food was good. No Japanese works there read more

Took three bites and threw away. Too salty. Too much fish flavor. Sadly. None of us enjoyed it. And of course very overpriced. Sad it didn't work out. But ended with gelato for dinner. read more

The Ramen bowl was almost $20 dollars. The chicken they put in was the size of gravel and as hard, Awful food. Don't ask for water. $6.00 read more

We had the tonkotsu, cold sesame noodles, and chicken gyoza. Everything was very good but the gyoza were extra special (maybe from the fried skin topping and spicy sauce) that it didn't need the included gyoza sauce. It is located in the food court (so a little loud) but the counter connected to the stand makes you think you are in Asia and gives you the opportunity to watch them cook. If you don't want sit there, there are plenty of tables. The cashier wasn't friendly and seems like she wanted to clear the line so she can continue her conversation with the girl that hands you your order. read more

Super slow, tastes bad, and the meat isn't very fresh, so it was a pretty bad experience. If you were taking kids there, your kid might hate their chicken tender, since they taste strange, and again, the chicken is not very fresh. read more

Based on the pics in his cookbook, I was expecting a unique and a fantastic ramen incarnation. What I got was something analogous to gas station sushi. To start, the eatery is located in a food court, albeit in the luxe Venetian Hotel. You must fetch your food when your number is called and carefully balance the tray with your bowl of swishing soup and a la carte accompaniments/drinks to your seat. When you're through you must then deposit your used dishes in a trash/recyclable collection station (this was the only authentically Japanese touch) - so much for ambiance. The tonkatsu broth was acceptable, though the toppings were pretty basic, at least by Japanese ramen shop standards; a few shavings of pork belly and cold egg round out the 'fixins'. The soba-like noodles were done al dente and were pretty good, though they were a little stingy with the amount which floundered in the broth - it reminded me of my girlfriend's long hair fanning out in the bathtub. The spicy cucumber side dish was limp and had an unpleasant aftertaste as if it were kept too long in the marinating bucket. All told it was dissapointment and not worth even the somewhat reasonable (at least for Vegas) prices they charge. Ivan's is no threat to the nearby Chipotle! read more

awesome Ramen! wonderful Tonkatsu broth. The broth was thick and the eggs consistency was just right. The shiatsu pork was wonderful

the place is nice, and the ramen is good aswell, but PLEASE please please bring back the yuzu kakigori.

Tried the tonkotsu ramen here, extremely salty, barely any flavor, and the portion was laughably small. Honestly, this is the worst Japanese ramen I've ever had, no competition. I saw multiple reviews saying it was way too salty, 100% agree. Wish I had read them before coming. Definitely not recommended, and I won't ever be back. read more
