The Concept
Ivan Orkin, famed for his unique blend of Japanese tradition and New York sensibility, is doubling his London footprint. Following the success of his Farringdon location, Orkin introduces his second UK outpost on Askew Road. This expansion underscores his commitment to bringing authentic yet innovative ramen to a discerning audience, just in time for the colder months.
What to Expect
Expect a space that mirrors Orkin's Farringdon ethos: minimalist yet warm, with a focus on the bowl. The menu will likely feature his signature shio ramen, known for its delicate balance of chicken broth and dashi, topped with a soft-boiled egg and nori. The Askew Road location promises the same attention to noodle texture and broth depth that made his name in Tokyo and beyond. A subtle nod to his New York roots may appear in the form of unexpected flavour pairings.
The Verdict
A significant addition to West London's dining landscape. Be sure to try the shio ramen — it's where Orkin's craft truly shines.
