Japanese ramen franchise opens in Sarasota

A Japanese ramen franchise has opened up a location in Sarasota as part of a recent expansion effort.

The Sarasota location opened in November on North Tamiami Trail near the Sarasota-Bradenton International Airport and Ringling College of Art and Design, according to a December statement from Kyuramen. Spanning 3,200 square feet, the new restaurant features 78 seats and eight private dining rooms.

This is the third restaurant for the team behind the Sarasota franchise; they also own Chinese restaurant Dim Sum King near University Town Center and another Dim Sum King in Fort Myers.
