Massive Ramen news for Logan Circle/14th Street – get ready for Jinya Ramen Bar. The liquor license placard says:
“A high-quality Japanese restaurant that serves authentic ”Tonkotsu Ramen”. No entertainment. Seating for 99 patrons. Total Occupancy Load of 120.”
Jinya’s website says:
“JINYA Ramen Bar serves “Tonkotsu Ramen”, rich and strong smelling noodle. Tonkotsu uses pork broth which is pumped up with industrial quantities of dashi and dried fish, a broth that seemed to be trying to establish the record for the most umami per milligram.
Simply put, tasting is believing. Only a handful Californian residents and lucky tourists could enjoy the fantastic taste of JINYA Ramen. Not anymore. With as low as $350K initial investment, you can own and run “JINYA, Ramen Bar” in your location.”
Check out some of their menus here.
Ghana Cafe closed here back in June 2014. For a hot second Crow Bar had plans to reopen here but that fell through. Updates on the new Rames spat as construction progresses and they get closer to opening.

Back in September we learned that Barrel House was moving next door. It’s taken a bit longer than originally thought but I’m now told they’ll be making the move at the end of the month. Still not clear what will happen to the awesome barrel door…

“Dear PoPville,
This sign went up a few weeks ago in a long-empty storefront next to Asian American 2 and across from Veranda on 11th Street NW near Logan Circle. Any word on what will be coming in?”
This is the mom and pop restaurant and take out coming to the former dollar store at 11th and P St, NW. Looking forward to learning more – stay tuned!
