Ramen Nagi delays Orange County opening to March 24

Ramen Nagi has postponed the opening of its new restaurant in Orange County. The restaurant was originally set to open on March 17 but will now open a week later, on March 24. The reason for the delay has not been shared. This location in South Coast Plaza will be Ramen Nagi’s first restaurant in Orange County and its sixth in the U.S. The chain is famous for its hakata-style ramen and has other sites in Palo Alto, Los Angeles, and San Diego. Ramen Nagi is known for its unique and flavorful dishes, including tonkotsu ramen and spicy red miso pork. The Costa Mesa location will feature five types of ramen, plus a special ramen available for one week only. Customers can customize their orders by choosing their noodles, broth, and toppings. The brand started as a pop-up in 2004 by founder Satoshi Ikuta. It has grown to over 35 locations in Asia and the U.S. The original restaurant in Tokyo is notable for being open 24 hours a day. The new restaurant will be located at 3333 Bear Street, Suite 151, Costa Mesa.
