Ippudo Bringing Celebrated Ramen To Culver City

With its much-lauded tonkotsu ramen that once caused a sensation in New York, award-winning Ippudo has been slowly making inroads into the West Coast.  A sharp-eyed reader noticed that they are moving into the space at 3847 Main St. in Downtown Culver City.  Founded in 1985 in Fukuoka City, Japan, they opened their first US location in 2008 in New York and have since spread to locations in Bay Area and West Hollywood.  This will be the second LA location for the exacting noodle chain (although there was briefly a Santa Monica outpost).

If you read this blog you know that Manhattan Village, the shopping complex on the corner of Rosecrans and Sepulveda in Manhattan Beach, is undergoing a major redo.  Loads of new retail and restaurant spaces are on the way, with many new eateries already slotted to move in.  Add one more to the list: Signs recently went up on one of the new spaces announcing that a branch of expanding burger chain Smashburger is on the way.  Looks like they’re shooting for a Spring opening.

A few years ago when it opened, Ippudo caused quite a stir with its tonkotsu ramen that was a huge hit in New York.  But things have changed.  Ippudo is no more.  And what’s next for the space at 1403 2nd St.?  Why none other than expanding dumpling and noodle chain Dan Modern Chinese.  According to their website, they’ll also be opening in Playa Vista and Manhatten Beach soon as well.

With so many restaurant closures across town, it’s encouraging to see an area retain its vibrancy…  Dan Modern Chinese is continuing its push into the Westside.  In addition to the upcoming Manhattan Village location, window paper is up on the space at 2051 Sawtelle, squarely in the middle of Sawtelle Japantown, announcing the imminent arrival of their signature dumplings and noodles.

You may know that Manhattan Village, the shopping center on the corner of Rosecrans and Sepulveda in Manhattan Beach, is undergoing a major over-haul including adding new buildings and outdoor walkways…  and new restaurants as well.  I’ve already told you about Mercado (already open), and upcoming Urban Plates.  But as you can see at least three more are announced:  A branch of Edoardo Baldi’s coffee and nibbles bar Edo Little Bites, Dan Modern Chinese (which still hasn’t opened in Westwood), and Joey Restaurants are all on their way.
