Tokyo shio ramen
The story behind the bowl
Chef Ivan Orkin built his reputation running ramen shops in Tokyo before returning to New York. His Lower East Side restaurant remains one of the city's most personal ramen stories, shaped by Japanese technique rather than imitation.
Before you go: Start with the shio if you want the clearest expression of the kitchen before trying richer specials.
