"Red, white, and black signage has emerged on the storefront at 1390 South Colorado Boulevard, as Ajinoya Ramen, a new noodle house, prepares to open as early as next week. This location is the previous home of fast-casual Broken Rice, which closed in October. The popular cuisine will come from the culinary minds behind Okinawa, a Japanese eatery on Colfax. This is the team’s first foray into ramen, and though the menu has yet to be solidified, the intent is to serve simple, authentic bowls of soup, poke, appetizers, and an array of beer, wine, and spirits, according to team member Scott Xie. Ajinoya, a Japanese term, most nearly means “house of taste.”" - Gigi Sukin
