    Yas great service and ramen today at "The Rev". We did the valet parking for $2 wout tip at the sister restaurant right by "Santiago's Bodega" felt like a no brainer. Then came in to enjoy a hot bowl of freshly prepared ramen. I got the Florida and my son got the chicken. You can customize the toppings which is so ideal and they have so many. Ugh my fav topping by far was the mushrooms in the chicken ramen, flavorlicious and the chicken kaarage on point! It was my sons but I was all over his. The Fl to me was still good but more for seafood lovers. Service was so sweet and graceful. Ambiance, lighting, and curtain booths feel intimate and inviting. I enjoyed thanks!

    Chicken lovers ramen bowl

    This place is a real gem, just off mills in the Ivanhoe district. They are way more than a ramen bar. We stopped in for an early dinner and had our choice of seating. They have these great family friendly booths that are partially enclosed, would also be ideal for a date night. David, our server was quite possibly the best server in all of Orlando. Truly helpful kind and memorable. He explained that they have daily specials, a pretty extensive happy hour and while there is not a kids menu there are tons of kids friendly options including A ramen bowl (broth and noodles). They also have plastic cups with straws and lids for littles that many restaurants have phased out and I still very much appreciate. We tried the sugar snap peas with shrimp, surprisingly delicious with a complex slightly spice sauce, the chicken lovers ramen, their burger, tofu and the unexpected star of the show the lobster butter toast. The ramen was great and the noodles were the best texture I've had in a long while. The tempura chicken thigh that comes in it would be great even on its own The burger was pretty good but the fries that came with it were absolutely top tier. The lobster butter toast. Japanese milk bread toasted in plenty of rich lobster butter. I couldn't get enough and neither could my kids. So great. The owner was kind and informative. He truly cares about his restaurant and the quality of the foods they put out. I heard rumors that they may make an egg sando with that toast and the moment that just he menu I'll be back to try it! 10/10. Go enjoy yourself.

    They have seafood, ramen, and drink options. I was craving a nice bowl of ramen. The lychee saketini is the best one of all the saketinis (comes with two lychees). As for my review of the ramens... a solid 8.5/10. My friends and I got the TR 50/50 and Big Pappa ramen (like $18), pricey side but there isn't much Asian food around. Each bowl came with two halves of a marinated egg. The menu has a lot of customizable options like if you want chili oil or extra ingredients for an extra cost. The big pappa ramen has a thick strong pork meat flavor. The char Siu was two thin pieces of pork belly, kinda reminded me of bacon tbh. The bamboo shoots, however, were outright not good. It tasted watery like straight from the can - had absolutely no soup flavor. The lobster and shrimp salad ($16) was delicious. The Japanese milk bread dipped into the concoction (needed more than a small bowl) was delicious. The 6 Jameson oysters with their vinaigrette was delicious and not too small for fall season. They had 3 different types of oysters. The seacuterie looked interesting but sounded like it was pricey for not a lot of food. The appetizers came quick first. There's plenty of seating from booth to tall bar tables. Free parking in the back lot, but you could also pay for valet. They're right next to their sister bar/restaurant store.

    As a ramen lover, I was deeply ecstatic that The Rev opened up in the Ivanhoe Village area. The Rev is a great addition to the area. The ambiance is nice and chill. It has a homey feel to it, which adds to the chill and calmness of the restaurant space. They have a good amount of seating and even moments where you can get a bit more of an intimate feel for a nice little date night. The decor is simple but nice. It is usually not super crowded. So, it's a great place to pop into if you don't want to deal with the hustle and bustle of its neighboring restaurants. The staff and service are excellent. Overall, my first experience was really good. Now, as it relates to the food, I will say it is not my favorite ramen in town, but it is good. Everything was prepared well, and the presentation of the dishes was very nice. My friend enjoyed every bit of their dish and finished it in the restaurant. I had some leftovers to go (as I usually do), and they held up nicely. I ordered the Chicken Little dish while my friend ordered their Florida dish. The drinks were also super tasty. I had their Sparkling Pear Saketini - which was a nice and delightful drink. As someone who is trying to get into Sakes, this was a nice happy medium. All in all, it was a tasty meal. I'll be back for sure. I am looking forward to how they will grow with Ivanhoe Village. Definitely pay them a visit if you have not already.

    Tuna poke
    Arun K.

    I went for the Orlando sip and savor week (deal with restaurants in the downtown area). I arrived without a reservation on a Saturday evening, and decided to sit in the bar area. My bartender, David, greeted me and gave me some time to look at the menu. I noticed the sip and savor deal had drink specials as well, so I took a lychee and passion fruit saketini (8 dollars during the special). It was a sweet and refreshing saketini. I tasted mostly lychee than passion fruit, but it was still delicious. I also loved that there were 2 lychees to enjoy as the topping. There was a right amount of sake to provide the buzz, but nothing overwhelming. The menu was a three course dinner for 35 dollars. I took the suggested tuna poke for my appetizer. It has three nicely sized wontons with a nice amount of raw tuna. The wontons held the tuna well, and still crispy to enjoy. The tuna was quite fresh and soft, and the sauces had a citrus flavor with a kick of spice too. For my entree, I chose the pork and chicken ramen. When I tried the broth, I noticed something was missing. It was seasonings! Even though the broth had the pork and chicken flavor, it needed some seasonings to add the umami taste. Same with the fried chicken included in the soup. While the chicken was tender, the tempura tasted like KFC without the herb and spices. I did enjoy the chasu, egg, cucumber, and bean sprouts that were included as well though. The noodles looked to be instant brand, but not too bad. While the soup could have been better, it was still good enough to enjoy and filling enough to take home for leftovers. For dessert, the yuzu cheesecake was just right. It had the perfect amount of citrus flavor without puckering my lips, and it was rich enough to be filling. The blueberry sauce was a bit too much, and syrupy for my taste. Edamame was also included for snacking, and very enjoyable with the chili seasoning. The service from David was great and attentive. He kept checking up on me and helped me with packing my leftovers into the bag. He also cleaned the table between the courses too. The atmosphere is small and casual. There is a small bar where I sat, and I also saw some tables with curtains to create an intimate setting. Parking was small and can be difficult to find, but thankfully valet parking was available for 2 dollars. The valet staff was excellent! The Rev is a nice concept owned by the restaurant next door, Santiago Bodega. While it's pretty casual, the food and drinks are mostly good. I would try their non soup options next time, as well as try Santiago Bodega too. The Rev is a great addition near the downtown area. Overall: A-

    The restaurant is very beautiful. It was a little too warm for me. I was starting to break a sweat by the end of our dining. It also seemed like there was just one person there and he was doing a lot so I had to flag him down a couple times. I got the three dollar oysters on happy hour, the pork Ramen, the Gyoza, and the 50-50 Ramen. The oysters came with this white miso dressing that was really yummy. I would come back here just for the oysters. The Ramen was just OK. The 50-50 had a tempura Chicken piece on there that was very crispy and not too greasy and delicious. I didn't care for the dumplings. The texture on the inside and on the steam side was a little weird. The pork chashu was also very good. The broth was pretty standard. But I feel like that's kind of what you get in Orlando. I truly haven't found a good Ramen place in Orlando. And by that I mean, good enough for me. I think most people will like this place just fine. I would come back for the oysters and maybe try a small plate of something else that isn't ramen. I loved the chili crisp xxx. That was great!

    I was hungry so I stop by this restaurant! I was greeted right away. Got the table and music was mellow. Very clean restaurant! Customer service was good. David was my server, knowledgeable with the menu! He brought me complimentary boiled peanuts to start before the Big meal! I ordered the Florida Ramen! Seasoning was to overwhelming! Not enough broth! Noodles are overcooked and soft! The broth was not served hot! David customer service was superb though! I usually give a 2 star if the food wasn't good but because David customer service was great I will give a 3 star! The Key lime pie tasted really good! Price was to expensive as well! I don't think I will come back for a visit!

    Trying out a new spot, The Rev!
    Kate M.

    This is such a great new spot in Ivanhoe Village! They had a great happy hour going on when we arrived for dinner so my husband and I each ordered a sake drink and the Deviled Eggs, which were amazing!! For my meal I got the TR 50/50 Ramen, which is made with pork bone/chicken bone broth, pork chashu, nori, fried chicken, seasoned egg, pickled cucumber, fried shallots, and bean sprouts. The broth was SO flavorful and it was such a unique ramen with the fried chicken. The Rev is a really cute location and we sat in a cozy booth which was perfect for date night. I can't wait to come back and try another ramen!

    Ramen
    Tony P.

    Great ambiance and authentic Japanese bar and restaurant setting. However the ramen whole looked tasty was not very good. It needed to have more flavors and it was pretty bland. I may try it again in the future since this place is still new. Friendly and attentive staff!

    Gyoza dumplings
    Drew S.

    Oh boy, this place was great. We just had some appetizers, gyoza dumplings and fish dip but both were amazing. Also had the frosted blackberry saketini, which was spectacular. Our servers were both super attentive and knowledgeable of the menu. The vibe of the place is upscale but welcoming and chill. I loved it and will certainly be back.

    Teriyaki chicken skewers
    Johanna F.

    Perfect little ramen spot, very cozy vibes and great service/atmosphere. Will definitely be back for their happy hour deals. The teriyaki skewers were juicy and had a crunch. The coconut sticky rice was delicious, great portion size. Ramen was great and the broth was rich and flavorful.

    We are so happy this place exists in our neighborhood. The dumplings, ramen and boa bun was delicious. Can't wait to go back! It was gorgeous decor and the server was so patient and explained any menu item I had a question about.

    Lobster with white rice
    Amy C.

    My boyfriend and I were looking for dinner late. I saw that the rev was still open and I had been wanting to give it a try. We were able to get seated pretty close to closing time. I went for the coconut lobster and my boyfriend did the Florida ramen. They ran out of coconut rice for the lobster so I was given white rice instead. It was basic but I was in the mood for lobster. So they cut up the tail into pieces and then put it back in the tail for presentation. The sauce was good but I would've liked a little more sauce in the dish since the rice was plain. The Florida ramen was really good. The broth was a fish broth I believe and very flavorful. I love the succotash in it. It was not salty or heavy. Different from Japanese ramen broth. I liked everything in the ramen except the blackened fish. My boyfriend liked everything in it. Our server David was really nice. I would come back to try other dishes and if you want to try not typical ramen.

I suspect they treat there staff well and hire the right people. Everytime I am here I feel like they are over staffed, but there are plenty of tables inside and out in this intimate venue. My two favorite happy hour dishes are the Salmon Pke Tacos and the Crispy Chicken. I used to live on Lake Eola Park and I so miss coming here. Glad I stumbled in here today.

That said, I would definitely come back to try other items on the menu, as there are so many options to choose from. Our server, Carl, was very friendly and attentive. I visited on a Friday evening, and the ambiance was relaxed yet lively, with plenty of groups enjoying dinner or drinks at the bar.

Still great though. My sister got the tonkotsu with black garlic and she almost ate the entire thing. Also got some shishito peppers and that was also just as good as everything else. I kept seeing the lychee martini being ordered to I got that and it was as good as everyone mentioned. It does have popping boba at the bottom which I loved but I know not everyone likes it so just an fyi. My sister got the Roddy pom. The place is pretty small and they don't take reservations so be prepared to wait at least 30 minutes. We got there 25 minutes after opening and waited 40 minutes. The parking gets filled fast along with overflow parking being full so be prepared to find a spot.

I loved the initial flavors but the foam got a little greasy and clumpy when mixed with the crushed sesame seeds, particularly toward the second half of the coffee. I wouldn't order it again. I would be interested to see any updates they've made recently but with so many new restaurants on Mills, I may choose those first.
