San Diego Ramen Restaurant Unberbelly Gets a Tokyo Cyberpunk Transformation and Updated Menus in Little Italy | Eater San Diego

"Reopening on Thursday, November 18—coinciding with its 10th anniversary since its 2011 debut—I found Underbelly in Little Italy reimagined by CH Projects into a Blade Runner-esque, cyberpunk vision of futuristic Tokyo, with nearly every inch of the compact corner spot at Fir Street and Kettner Boulevard covered in neon lighting. The remodel includes retractable liquor racks that extend from the ceiling and a refreshed kitchen and bar, and the menu has been expanded to match its North Park counterpart, offering the classic ramen as well as appetizers, bao, and bento boxes. CH Projects bar director Andrew Cordero has created fresh cocktails built around unique glassware and Japanese flavors, such as the Neo Noir (scotch, koji, barley honey, lemon, and egg white) and the Sakura Falls (Japanese gin, nigori sake, coconut cream, sakura blossom, and lime); those new cocktails will launch first in Little Italy before arriving at the North Park location next week." - Candice Woo
