Cult Fave Ramen Chain Ippudo Opens Its First Silicon Valley Location | Eater SF

"Bay Area ramen fans will soon have another place to worship: Ippudo, the Japanese ramen chain founded by Shigemi Kawahara in 1985 that opened its first West Coast location in Berkeley in 2017 and followed with a San Francisco spot in 2018, planned a Silicon Valley outpost at 19540 Vallco Parkway, Suite 130 in Cupertino. The restaurant says the Cupertino shop will introduce six new menu items that were recently rolled out at its West Hollywood location, though a spokesperson declined to specify those dishes; posted hours are 11 a.m.–2:30 p.m. and 5–10 p.m. on weekdays (10:30 p.m. on Fridays) and 11 a.m.–10 p.m. on weekends. The article was later updated to note a delay in the originally scheduled opening date." - Eve Batey
