- SSeanNew York City •1 review5.0Dined on 28 Feb 2025This is my first time and New York and I work in the service industry in Charlotte NC and this was one of the better experiences I've had. Foo, was I credible especially the wagyu pastrami buns were a highlight. The food was filling yet the courses were timed so well that we weren't to full between appetizers and mains. Service was great for a small team dealing with a high energy environment in a tight space. Would highly recommend to my friends or anyone that lives in NYC.More infoIvan RamenPrice: Moderate• Contemporary Asian• Lower East Side•4.8
