Wichita’s first ramen restaurant has opening date, menu
Wichita’s first ramen restaurant has an opening date – and I have the menu.
Jack Fukuda says he will open Yokohama Ramen Joint on April 24 in the space at 613 W. Douglas recently vacated by the short-lived Tahini Mediterranean Eatery. He says he’ll specialize in ramen dishes that can be customized to include many different types of broth, including pork, chicken, vegetarian and vegan. Customers also can choose from original Ramen noodles or gluten-free noodles.
Fukuda, who also owns the Beard Papa’s cream puff store in Towne East Square, says he will have his original cream puffs on the menu as well as annin tofu, a popular dessert served in ramen shops in Japan.
The restaurant will be open from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. Sundays through Thursdays and 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays.
Ramen, the Japanese noodle soup most commonly associated with college dormitories, has become a foodie trend in larger cities of late. Fukuda describes it as the ultimate Japanese comfort food.
Below, you will find the full menu, though Fukuda said it could see some minor revisions before opening day. See you there?
