"Taishoken, the legendary ramen restaurant known for originating tsukemen, is opening its first US location in San Mateo in late May. The restaurant will be run by Yoshihiro Sakaguchi, a scion of the family business. The menu will feature tsukemen, traditional ramen, small plates, and desserts, with local ingredients catering to American tastes. Unlike the original counter service, this location will offer full-service dining with a more casual lunch and fine dining style at dinner." - Ellen Fort
