"At the NE Sandy noodle-and-rice mainstay, I learned the restaurant space is on the market as owner Johanna Ware hopes to close the casual counter-service spot so she can focus exclusively on her critically acclaimed flagship Smallwares; Ware says she's giving it up for her own mental health after finding that balancing both businesses was too stressful. The restaurant hasn't set a closing date and Ware and her tiny team are keeping it open while they look for a new tenant to inherit the equipment and the tiny counter inside NE Sandy’s Zipper building." - Brooke Jackson-Glidden
