AFURI Slabtown

Afuri Will Open a Restaurant and ‘Ramen Lab’ in Slabtown | Eater Portland

"I learned that Afuri's Slabtown shop is slated to open in spring 2022 at 1650 NW 21st Avenue, Suite 130, and has been described by project manager Liz Allan as a “ramen lab” where diners can watch chefs make noodles, simmer broth, and recipe-test with visiting ramen chefs from around the world; the team says it will feature a ramen-making display (think: the dumpling station at Din Tai Fung) and a menu of the restaurant’s greatest hits — hazelnut tantanmen, yuzu shio, and tsukemen — joining Afuri's existing Portland-area locations (Afuri Izakaya in Southeast Portland, Afuri Ramen + Dumpling in Southwest Portland, and an Afuri Izakaya in Beaverton)." - Brooke Jackson-Glidden
