    Well it doesn't always have to be fancy. I discovered Ivan Ramen recently on a getaway to watch NHL Vegas Golden Knights. Made all sorts of reservations prior to arriving in Vegas but pre-gaming restaurants is part of the fun, right? We ended up cancelling everyone if those reservations and noteworthy substitutions were made. Ended up here in the food court at the Venetian when my travel companion started reading the online menu to ne. They had me at karaage chicken! It was at least worth a try, right? Did not disappoint. Sat at the counter and enjoyed an order of really tasty chicken and I'll definitely go back. Their preparation is different but different isn't a bad thing. The flavor, the nice crunch and the blessing of chicken thighs verses breast was a total winner!!! Yummmmm

    Not sure why the hate! I gave this place a try and it was good, no complaints. Chicken was cooked good (wasn't dry and textured) and the flavor was really good as-well. I will say, if you don't like spicy, then skip this because it's fairly spicy! All in all: Easy order, good food. A place I would recommend checking out while at the Venetian or Plazzo!

    It's in the food court area of the Venetian, they have a limited selection and the tokatsu was watery, not rich like pork broth should be. The two slices of pork roll were good, and the salty pickled mustard greens, salty wood ear mushrooms and the soft-boiled egg was a nice touch. Ramen itself lacked something - not a strong flavor that I have come to expect from tonkatsu. Barley tea wasn't included as a part of the special (half app and a soda/water for $9 or so), but was pretty good as a light drink with too much ice. I sat at the bar watching them prep their food. Clean your own tray with the bowl on the other side of the column. Shared seating with the other restaurants in the food court. It's a nice place for a quick meal (fried chicken, tacos, and more in the area).

    Grabbed a bowl of ramen before heading home. The restaurant is inside a food hall inside of the Venetian casino resort. There's lots of seating and tables everywhere but it busy and gets crowded. The whole food hall is beautiful! Plenty of delicious food around. I ordered the tonkatsu ramen bowl with an extra egg. It was so flavorful! Loved the eggs and the chasu.. the ramen was thin and tasted almost like wheat noodles. Delicious! My son ordered the Tokyo shoyu. He said it was great. It was also flavorful. He cleared his bowl soup and all. A great quick bite! Delicious but a bit pricey, that's a given though lol it's inside a casino.

    This place changed my opinion on Ramen!!! I had ramen before but somehow it never was to my liking. That is until I arrived to Ivan Ramen. I explained my taste and likings to these kind folks and they made recommendation: have Tonkotsu but with ground pork instead of pork belly. .... Omg - was this good!!! Service was phenomenal and food was delicious. It is located in food court but still it is awesome. Not too loud , and very clean!!! After visit here - I am officially Ramen lover now!!!!

    Menu (April 2026)

    I was excited to see that the famous Ivan Ramen from NYC was here at the Via Via food hall inside the Venetian. It's a casual quick service version of the actual restaurant, so you order at the counter and seat yourself. The menu consists of mostly ramen, a couple of rice bowls and a few appetizers. We ordered the Tokyo Shoyu ($19) and Chicken Paitan ($21). Between the two, the Tokyo Shoyu ramen was better with a light dashi-chicken broth, pork, soft-boiled egg and roasted tomato. It was tasty and the egg was cooked well. The Chicken Paitan was spicier than expected given it only had chicken broth, minced chicken, crispy chicken skin and egg yolk in it. I've had other chicken paitans that were better. I wasn't expecting it to be exactly like the real thing, but I thought it would be better. The ramen broths were very salty and not in a craveable way. It's fine if you want ramen in a pinch but I probably wouldn't get it again.

    So glad that we made it into Ivan Ramen at the Venetian food hall and honestly...this whole setup is just fun. Constant motion, people everywhere, options in every direction...perfect spot when you're with a group or just don't feel like committing to one vibe. Even the picky eaters are covered. Started with the Spicy Kyuri Pickles and yeah, these showed up. Big flavor, really well seasoned, and they don't play it safe on the heat. Not overwhelming, but there's definitely a kick that lingers in a good way. Gyoza was next and felt like a step up from the usual. Great pork filling, super flavorful, lightly pan fried with that perfect crisp on the bottom. Heads up though...the spice sneaks up on you. First bite feels easy, then it builds. Worth it, just know what you're getting into. Left full, a little surprised (in a good way), and already thinking about coming back to dig into more of the menu. This is the kind of spot you circle back to.

    Silent sleeper! This Ivan's chicken karaage was so good. It was served pipping hot it was crispy and juicy with soo much flavor. I ordered a side of plain rice in the side and went back for the cucumber which set this meal off! Get the pickled cucumbers. I poured the juices over my rice and it was heaven. I was so full I didn't want to do anything but sleep.

    SPICE ALERT!!! Authentic Ramen dishes. Located inside the Via Via Hall inside the Venetian hotel this spot will not disappoint. A super trendy food hall with options for everyone. If you can't handle spice, even if you think you can handle juuuust a little, do not get the spicy ramen. If you're a heat-a-holic, get the spicy ramen!!! I recommend getting the combo meal so you can taste an appetizer. The gyoza was perfect amount of crisp to softness ratio. Plenty of seating for big or small groups. Service was quick. A little hard to hear them call when your order is ready, they could be a little louder or have a number display system.

    Tori paitan
    Huey N.

    Having a hot bowl of noodle soup is great after a couple days of Vegas shenanigans. I love tori paitan so I didn't bother reading through the rest of the menu. Overall, the ramen was fine but didn't live up to the hype of the name. I wish there were slices of chicken instead of ground meat. The bits of crispy skin were a very nice touch. I've had more chickeny ramen broths but it had a good thickness with the extra fat layered on top.

    Combos- spicy ramen and soy garlic chicken, tonkotsu ramen and gyoza
    Rita W.

    Ivan Ramen located in the via via food court. Walk up, order, have a seat- tables or the bar, and they call your name when your order is ready. Get your food and enjoy. Casual spot, but was nice. We got combos so we tried the following- Tonkotsu ramen- friend really enjoyed this one. Good flavors, whole thing finished. Spicy miso ramen- I loved the spice to this one, but for the sake of others, they could warn it's actually spicy. It's really spicy if I can taste it, haha. Not sure if it's always like this, but a lot of the flavors are the spice and I wasn't too fond of the heaviness of the thicker broth with ground meat. Gyoza- looks crispy-ish, but a bit on the oily soggy end. Otherwise it was pretty good. Soy garlic Chicken wings- could have used some more crispiness, but otherwise tasty. For the drinks in our combo, we got water. Evian. Fancy lol. I rather go elsewhere for ramen going forward, but glad I finally got to try Ivan ramen.

    Tonkotsu
    Heather H.

    Located in the Via Via food court. I will say, the other options in the food court are very enticing and likely better but if craving ramen, this is fine enough. Overall, a mediocre bowl of ramen, but the convenience is hard to beat. They did the soft boiled egg well, and had yummy woodear mushrooms which I enjoyed. I also liked that it had pickled veg. The noodles looked buck-wheaty which I didn't mind. The broth is bland though. Definitely not traditional or GOOD ramen for LA standards, but was good enough. Service is fast and was one of the few locations that didn't have line. Ambiance is food court vibes. I'd give it 3.5 stars if I could.

    Japanese fried chicken bowl
    Kelvin C.

    Overall cool vibe, but the chicken bowl was just ok. The fried chicken was nice and crunchy, tender, but the chicken was drenched in sauce. The sauce was a bit sour vinegary flavor that was not an enhancement. There were somewhat looked like Korean pickles. The onsen egg was good. There were three different fried chicken items on the menu, but when I asked the person taking my order how they are prepared and to describe them, she could tell me anything but they are pretty similar. Maybe all three were the exact same thing with different names?

There's always a wait, because the place is tiny but the wait never seems too long and it is worth it. My favorite is the miso ramen with a side of the eggs. Their eggs are a must have. It won't be complete without it. Sometimes, we get a side of fried rice with it and that is also amazing too. Only down side is the parking. For me, it's a hit or miss. I may come at a time where there seems to be a few open spaces and other times, I would have to circle the lot and the street to find parking. Either way, I don't mind because the prize is waiting for me at Monta.

Every since Menya Musashi closed down, we had to visit Jinya every so often. Ramen boys' Tsukemen sucked, but think their Tonkotsu was decent from what I remember last? This place is one of my cousin's favorite local ramen place. If it's as consistent, then definitely can become a favorite here! But Vegas is full of false hope. Consistency is considered a difficult expectation even for chain food places in Vegas, typical. We'll see. We visited on Labor Day Monday around 930pm. No line with only 1 single diner and us there. It wasn't until maybe 10pm when more visitors started popping in. The place looks great for individual eaters too. I'm not sure it's as spectacular to wait in a line? $14.50 Deluxe Tonkotsu. This and the classic are popular choices. But I was eyeing the Kuro Black Garlic. Do deluxe was an easy choice cause it has the black garlic in it. - Add extra noodles for $2.50 (which I did to-go with my leftover Tsukemen broth also taken to-go). They can offer thin noodles or udonish but not the Tsukemen special one. - This ramen was mild spicy which took me by surprise. In case anyone can't do any spicy due to dietary, medical etc, then I'm sure they can take it out? Noodle texture was great! Broth was decent and more simple. $15.95 Tsukemen. Usually a fav of mine but very difficult to find a place I like? Only the OG original Sliverlake Ramen did it for me. Noodles were on point!! Broth was decent. However, looks like missing corn or maybe other eaters like to add corn to theirs? And the meat pieces were pretty tiny or scrappy in my broth. I was expecting a bit larger pieces than 2, and slot more scrappy pieces. Only the Deluxe Miso Ramen has diary in its ramen. All the other ramens have are dairy free! Was looking into the small bowls like the salmon egg/mini mentaiko bowl $6.25 but was told by staff that it's alot of rice and small amount of eggs. So it was a no for me. $5.50 Sapporo Draft. $3.95 Sapporo light via bottle. Next time looking to also try their shoyu style, and black graphic ramen.

But honestly, sometimes that makes you think, "Okay... if it looks like this, the food MUST be bomb." And thankfully, it was! When we first walked in, we checked ourselves in through the Yelp waitlist, but nobody greeted us or explained what to do. As first-timers, that was a little off-putting because we weren't even sure if we had checked in correctly. Eventually we were seated, though, and once someone attended to us, everything moved pretty quickly. We ordered the spicy umami ramen, garlic edamame, and nigori sake. For our son, we ordered the veggie ramen but asked if they could make it super simple with just the noodles, broth, and corn because he is VERY picky. They were totally accommodating, which we really appreciated. Now THE RAMEN. My first bite was honestly like, "Okay, this isn't bad." But then I kept eating it...and the flavor just kept opening up. Then we took a sip of the nigori sake, went back to the ramen, and OMG. It completely changed the experience. The spice was SO GOOD. It's the kind that catches you in the back of your throat before it even hits your tongue. It might have you coughing for a second, but somehow you're coughing while immediately going back in for another bite because YOU CAN'T STOP EATING IT. The flavor just builds and builds. So good! And the biggest win? OUR SON ATE HIS RAMEN. He actually really enjoyed it, which is huge for us because now ramen officially goes on the list of foods we can all go out and eat as a family! As far as atmosphere, this isn't really a fancy date-night spot. It's more of a casual ramen joint where I'd come with family, friends, or coworkers when I just want some really good food. The only thing keeping this from five stars for me was the service experience. Not being greeted or told how the waitlist worked was confusing as a first-time customer, and there wasn't much checking back once we had our food. If that doesn't matter to you, then honestly, you're good to go because THE FOOD DELIVERS. Overall, four stars and definitely recommended. Come for the ramen, don't expect a whole meet-and-greet situation , and prepare yourself for that spicy umami because it was BOMB.

    Food: 4/5 Service: 5/5…read moreAmbiance: 5/5 Cool ramen spot to check out and located next to Durango Station. Food and vibes were great! Lots of parking and eateries in this shopping center. We missed happy hour by one hour. Ordered the Hakata Tonkatsu DX, Chicken Paitan DX, and Chicken Karaage. I originally ordered the Hakata Tonkatsu without the DX but they made it as a DX and brought it to me and asked me if I wanted it and would still only charge me for original one I ordered. This was very nice of them. You can choose your spiciness, but my party agreed that they are conservative with the spice. I ordered mines mild but didn't taste any spice at all (I don't like spicy.) The Chicken Paitan is limited daily and by the time we got there for dinner they only had 2 left, so we claimed one. All in all, I enjoyed my experience here. Their ramen taste like typical ramen, nothing too special. I would come back here for their happy hour (2-5 pm daily) to try other things!

Great, if you're dining by yourself at one of the bar seating or if you're with a group of friends, they have tables in the back and then I believe they also have outdoor seating from what it looked like. (I was there at night.) I am so grateful for our server. He really was a trooper, we were trying to figure out some of my allergies, and he really went above and beyond to doublecheck things. I got an iced Matcha, and my friend got a non-alcoholic Sapporo. And we both enjoyed our beverages. Prices were pretty reasonable and they do have happy hour and deals throughout the week. For a starter, we ordered the Marufuku bites: Pirikara Chicken. It was the perfect level of spice. The ratio of bun to vegetable to sauce, was really great and we quite enjoyed it. It was a perfect little starter snack while we were waiting for our food. I ordered the Chicken Paitan with spinach noodles and my friend ordered the Hakata Tonkotsu DX ramen. There was a mixup with my noodles and they quickly remade my Ramen with the correct noodles and I really appreciated how swift they were able to do that. From the outside, the bowl looks like it isn't holding that much when in reality when you start eating, you realize that there is a lot in there! My only complaint is that I wish there would've been more chicken. The egg was fantastic and I absolutely loved the spinach noodles. They gave a really good amount of noodles! The broth was fantastic! It was the perfect comfort food. We sat there in complete silence as we happily ate our food. I finished the bowl clean! Overall, it was really great experience and I'm excited to go there again in the future. Especially more in the winter! Sometimes parking can be a little difficult because it does get really packed in that area, so just keep that in mind, especially on weekends at night, you might need to park farther down closer to mothership.
