NEW YORK CITY — KYURAMEN has opened a new location in Manhattan's Financial District, bringing three concepts under one roof: the first Kyuramen Express, new Bao Dumpling and Aokō Matcha.
Kyuramen Express is the group's first fast-casual format, offering signature ramen including Tokyo Tonkotsu Shoyu, Sapporo Miso and Kyushu Spicy Tonkotsu, along with udon, rice bowls, sushi, onigiri, appetizers and combination meals.
"This is our first opportunity to bring several KYURAMEN experiences together in one fast-casual setting," Founder and CEO Gary Lin said.
"We wanted to create a space where guests can build the meal they want and enjoy Asian-inspired comfort food at one convenient location. Whether they're stopping by for a quick lunch, grabbing dinner to go, sharing appetizers with friends, or looking for a pick-me-up with an afternoon matcha and dessert, there's something for everyone."
The location also debuts Bao Dumpling, which combines Chinese takeout-inspired flavors with dumplings.
Menu highlights include Signature Dumpling Bowls such as Spicy Kung Pao Chicken Dumpling and Orange Beef Dumpling, as well as bao, noodles, rice bowls and shareable bites.
Rounding out the destination is Aokō Matcha, featuring matcha drinks and Japanese-inspired desserts including its #8 Gelato, Aokō Parfait, matcha soft serve, Matcha Float with Mochi, Strawberry Matcha Latte and mille crepe cakes.
The opening promotions run through October 31.
From October 1–4, Bao Dumpling will offer complimentary Salt & Crunch Chicken with the purchase of a Dumpling Bowl.
Guests spending $20 or more at any of the three brands can also enter an in-store lucky draw for a chance to win an iPhone Duo, while an Instagram giveaway offers additional entries.
