You've read the speculation on my part, but it is now confirmed. The second floor above the Pug will become a dumpling/ramen bar. I'm pretty excited. I love both dumplings, and ramen, but around here the options have mostly been Sticky Rice, or carry out. I love Sticky, but I also desire some diversity in my dumplings. So, like I said, I'm happy to hear of this development. Eric, formerly of Sticky Rice, is involved. Apparently the concept has caught on in NYC, and is now coming here.
Wow, *that's* neat. Timetable? Obviously at this early juncture one can't be specific, but are we talking a year away? Three years away?
ReplyDeletemmmm...I'll start refining my chopstix technique now!
ReplyDeleteawesome !!!! yeah for Eric !
ReplyDeleteYAY! More places to eat on H Street = joy.
ReplyDeletesounds interesting, but makes me wonder when the Kraft Mac and Cheese restaurant is going to open!
ReplyDeleteDont joke! Ive seen Mac and Cheese bars in NYC.

ReplyDeleteVancouver, BC has tons of noodle, and dumpling places. It's a great way to get a very tasty and healthy meal at a small price. I'm excited.
ReplyDeleteNow if we could get the Portland food carts to migrate here, I'd be in even in a higher level of bliss.
Finally. The number one thing I miss about San Francisco is not the cheap sushi, but Tampopo Ramen bar in Japantown. Sweet!
ReplyDeleteDang-- they beat me to it! Mine was going to be called "Forever and Ever Ramen".
ReplyDeleteChris Metzler,
ReplyDeletemy understanding is that they are trying to fast track this one. I haven't seen the space, so I have no idea how much work need to be done.
