Meet Super Kyuramen: A Bold New Ramen Bar and Izakaya-Style Concept

June 16, 2026 // Franchising.com // NEW YORK CITY, NY / Kyuramen is expanding beyond the bowl with the launch of Super Kyuramen, a new ramen bar and izakaya-style concept designed for guests who want more from their night out. Building on the Kyuramen experience guests know and love, including its signature ramen and iconic honeycomb alcoves, Super Kyuramen adds a new dimension with shareable small plates, sushi rolls and a full bar for a more elevated Japanese dining experience.

The first two Super Kyuramen locations are slated to open this spring, with the Herndon, Virginia location currently in soft opening as of May 2026 with a limited menu offering. The Las Vegas, Nevada location is slated to officially open in June 2026.

A Space Designed to Stay In

From the moment guests arrive, Super Kyuramen is designed to provide a space for dining and socializing. The entrance pays homage to ramen's street food roots with a ramen-cart-inspired reception, before opening into a dining area with a full bar and Kyuramen's honeycomb alcoves. A Japanese wish tree invites guests to hang wooden plaques with personal wishes or notes of gratitude, contributing to a warm atmosphere.

Natural wood tones, exposed brick, noren curtains, and ambient lighting create a cohesive space. Private dining rooms are available, each with a distinct atmosphere, such as a classic ramen shop with vintage posters or a manga cafe with floor-to-ceiling collectibles and comics. The space accommodates various occasions, including dates, group dinners, or casual evenings.

The Menu: Everything in Nines

True to the Kyuramen spirit, good things come in nine, including the menu: 9 ramen, 9 sushi, and 9 cocktails. Kyuramen classics like the tonkotsu ramen and omurice will be available along with new additions including Super Kyuramen Dragon Roll, Kaiten Sushi Carousel, Premium Sashimi, Toro Uni Crispy Monaka, Kyuramen Street Cup, and more. At the first-ever Kyuramen bar, guests can enjoy a selection of sake, cold beer, and signature drinks curated to complement the izakaya-style experience plus a full mocktail menu for those keeping it light.

"Super Kyuramen is the next evolution of Kyuramen, one that honors where we started while pushing toward a bigger, bolder vision of what we can offer our guests," said Gary Lin, Founder of Kyuramen. "We built Kyuramen around great ramen and great experiences, and Super Kyuramen takes that further with a more social, experience-driven model designed to bring people together through food, drink, and culture.
