And it was a very good day.

From a press release:

“With fall just around the corner and crisp weather already moving in ramping up serious ramen cravings, beginning today, Tuesday, September 12th, Haikan (805 V ST. NW. WASHINGTON, DC 20001; www.HaikanDC.com; (202) 299-1000; @HaikanDC) – the third Japanese ramen shop to open in Washington DC – and the second Sapporo-style ramen shop from the talented team behind the Daikaya Group – Yama Jewayni, Katsuya Fukushima, and Daisuke Utagawa – will officially launch their new ‘To Go Ramen’ service.

The new ‘To Go Ramen’ service will allow ramen lovers to place orders for Haikan’s signature Sapporo-style ramen over the phone (202-299-1000), then collect their orders in-person at the restaurant and take their ramen to go. Signature ramen selections available to order to-go at Haikan include: Shio, Shoyu, Spicy Shoyu, Miso, and Vegetable. Ramen will be available during all hours Haikan is open for business.

The Hong Kong inspired kitchen will launch brunch this Saturday, September 9th. Much like their dinner menu, Tiger Fork’s brunch will feature “Dim Sum and then Some,” with shareable small-plates designed for the ultimate communal dining experience. Executive Chef Irvin Van Oordt created a menu inspired by traditional Hong Kong street food and Western-influenced dishes from the region, such as Happy Toast, a Hong Kong-style French toast topped with burnt coconut cream and condensed milk; and Congee, a traditional rice porridge with braised shitakes, a soft poached egg and yao cha guai (Chinese fried dough).

Full menu after the jump. (more…)
