"In April of 2020, chef Rooney’s Black Dynasty Secret Ramen House dropped the secrecy, settling into the kitchen at Bar Sovereign for takeout with comforting bowls of shoyu chintan and vegan mushroom tonkotsu for the hungry homebound. Eventually, they experienced normalcy once dine-in service resumed — then they parted ways. On Halloween of 2021, they switched from dark speakeasy to warehouse chic ramen, moving across town to Sylvan Supply’s Bearded Iris Brewery, where chef Rooney and the crew continues to dole out reliably on-point gyoza, salads, and desserts plus a regular cast of rave-worthy ramen options with homemade noodles — something not found often in Nashville." - Delia Jo Ramsey, Kristy Lucero
