The original New York City outpost of Ivan Ramen will not be reopening after the coronavirus pandemic. Owner Ivan Orkin confirmed to Eater that his acclaimed Hell’s Kitchen Slurp Shop, which has long served as the anchor of the Gotham West Market food hall in Hell’s Kitchen since 2013, permanently closed on November 1, 2020.
Despite the ramen shop’s devoted following and many accolades over the last decade, Orkin says the Hell’s Kitchen location had been “struggling” to stay afloat during the pandemic. Almost exactly seven years after opening Slurp Shop, he decided to shutter the restaurant last November and focus instead on an opportunity to expand into the emerging ghost kitchen market through a partnership with the Flagship Restaurant Group, an Omaha, Nebraska-based company that operates a chain of sushi concepts called Blue Sushi Sake Grill.
