"Ninja Ramen, owner Christopher Huang shared in an Instagram post. But he’s got a plan: he is starting a subscription OnlyFans for the restaurant that will feature photos of guests eating their hot noods, with consent. Ninja Ramen opened in 2014 and is still on Eater Houston’s map of essential ramen spots. Huang says business being down isn’t limited to his restaurant but that many of his peers are reporting the same thing since the pandemic. He writes on Instagram that spending seems to be down across the board and that Ninja Ramen is only making 80 percent of its pre-COVID revenue. He notes that he raised menu prices by 50 cents three years ago, but costs have increased 18 percent since then. With his post, Huang hopes to remind customers about the bar, which he says has the largest selection of Asian whiskeys in the country — and let them know prices will be marked down between 20 and 50 percent for a limited time." - Courtney E.
