WASHINGTON — JINYA Ramen Bar, which claims to have started the ramen revolution in Los Angeles, will join the roster of restaurants at North Bethesda’s Pike & Rose next year.
JINYA opened its first East Coast restaurant at Merrifield’s Mosaic District in Fairfax in 2016 and opened a second Washington-area location on D.C.’s 14th Street in September.
It now has close to 20 locations across the U.S. and Canada.
JINYA expects to open its Pike & Rose location in mid-2018 at 910 Prose Street. The 2,500-square-foot restaurant will also have an outdoor patio.
JINYA’s ramen menu includes five different broths and about two dozen toppings, so diners can “customize their umami experience,” the restaurant said.
There are already plenty of dining choices at Pike & Rose and more are coming.
Earlier this month, Cincinnati-based Nada, a Mexican restaurant that calls itself a “taco and cocktail joint,” announced plans for its first East Coast location at Pike & Rose. The company plans to open a 140-seat restaurant with outdoor patio there in early 2018.
Pike & Rose, which opened three years ago, now has more than a dozen restaurants and several large retailers, including Washington’s newest REI store; Pinstripes, the combination bowling alley and bistro; and a big, two-level L.L. Bean Store, which opens Nov. 10.
