"Ishin Udon, restaurateur Mike Tran’s newest restaurant, opened its doors last Tuesday in the same Asiatown strip mall that he’s transformed into a dining destination since the debut of his wildly popular Chinese eatery, Mein Restaurant, in 2015. Fashioned after the udon noodle shops that Tran encountered during his travels to Japan, Ishin is Tran’s seventh establishment in a growing empire of restaurants that include Aka Sushi House, Tiger Den, Mein, Ohn Korean Eatery, Night Market Thai and Blkdog Coffee." - Mai Pham
