RAMEN NIGHT IS BACK! 🍜
You've been asking, calling, and wondering when our Monday Ramen Night would return. Well, the wait is over! Beginning tonight, Chef Wataru's ramen is back at Nikkei Izakaya, just in time for some cooler weather and the return of serious noodle cravings.

Our Torigara Ramen, built on a deeply nourishing chicken broth, reflects a tradition that has quietly shaped Japanese cooking for over a century. Chef Wataru's version is rich, layered, and deeply satisfying—an umami-forward broth that really needs to be tasted to be appreciated. Finished with chashu pork, bean sprouts, and scallions, deliciously classic.

Then there's our Tantanmen Ramen, available in both Wagyu and Vegan versions. Rich, savory, and full of umami, Tantanmen brings a different kind of depth to the table, with its soy-based broth, bok choy, scallions, and shiitake mushrooms. Whether you go for the Wagyu or plant-based version, it's a bowl that holds its own alongside our Torigara.

Of course, there's plenty more coming out of our little kitchen, including daily fresh-cut Pabu Fries, Agedashi Tofu, Pork and Chicken Katsu, Causa Nikkei, Gulf Fish Ceviche and Gulf Yellowfin Tuna Poke, and all your favorite Nikkei and izakaya dishes.

Happy Hour runs from 5–7pm, with great drink specials from the bar.

Monday Ramen Night is back. Come get reacquainted with your favorite bowl! 🍜
📍 Nikkei Izakaya at The Broadside
