Restaurant Shutter
Austin Japanese noodle shop Ramen 512 is shuttering its takeout-only restaurant in ghost kitchen hub Kitchen United Mix in the Wooten neighborhood. Its last day of service will be on Sunday, January 17. Owner and chef Vinh Thai always intended that the takeout venture was a temporary one. Now, he’s going to turn his attention to opening a physical restaurant, as he had planned on doing before the novel coronavirus pandemic. Last November, North Austin Korean restaurant Seoulju also closed down its takeout/delivery branch within Kitchen United.
Brewery Opening
Pinthouse Pizza’s fourth location 2201 East Ben White Boulevard in the McKinney neighborhood is opening this week, as reported by Craft Beer Austin. Dubbed Pinthouse Brewing, the space features the brewery as well as a restaurant. The menu specifically not include pizza; rather, there are sandwiches, salads, and snacks.
