"Hakata Ramen already operates two restaurants — one in Quincy and one in Boston’s Back Bay, the latter of which is called Shin Hakata Ramen — and now it has tapped Waltham for its next expansion. The Japanese restaurant specializes in ramen and sushi, and husband-and-wife team Simon Su and Jing Zhang will be running the Waltham location, which takes over the space that was previously home to Sabatino’s Italian Kitchen at 895 Main St., according to Patch. (They also run the Back Bay location, and Su is a co-owner of the Quincy one, per a 2017 Boston Globe “cheap eats” review of the Boston location.)" - Dana Hatic
