I saw their reply to someone on IG that their lease term ended.

Ohhh I see. Thanks for the follow-up!

Not surprised, TBH. Food was good, but the whole "we don't do takeout" mantra ruins things. Second time I went I never got my order (left after waiting 45 minutes). Most recently over last summer it was decent, but not noteworthy.

A lot of ramen places don’t do takeout because the quality of the meal (noodles specifically) changes so much when not served fresh

Understood, and that's what they told me when I first called to get takeout several years ago. Unfortunately, they wouldn't let the customer decide if it was worth it or not, and instead chose to limit their business to dine-in only. I ponder if there would be that much deterioration of the noodles if they put them in a separate container from the broth as Wara-Wara does.

Oh, interesting! I got takeout from them about 3 weeks ago. I guess they changed their policy.

Not too fussed about this one

Didn’t RC Ramen close too (looks shuttered on the outside)? Does this just leave pickerel?

There's Tori Tomo downcity, Wara Wara on the East Side, and an Ebisu location in East Prov

RC Ramen is still open!

It doesn’t make any sense how that place is open. I never see anyone in there.

I like the Tom yum ramen at Tori tomo

Come visit my man Yoshi at RC! They’re open and business is booming. If you remember Ken’s ramen, he was there basically running the place. Top ramen spot in NE for me personally.

I remember Ken’s and nothing came close (edit: I haven’t been to RC yet!)

Last time I was there, the host said it would be 15 minutes for a table but if he were me he wouldn't wait. Very bizarre. I ended up being sat after 5 minutes.

This is really sad, I loved the noodles here :(

Real talk though, why can nothing ever stay in that little plaza?

I've heard of some insane rent prices on Thayer St.

A devastating loss for the community.

Anyone know why they decided to close? This place was really popular.
