ramen-ya
Japanese noodle eatery
A ramen-ya is a Japanese restaurant specializing in ramen, the wheat noodle soup dish served in rich broth with various toppings.
These establishments typically focus exclusively on ramen rather than offering a broad menu, and often feature counter seating where diners can watch the cooks at work.
There's a new ramen-ya downtown that has a three-hour wait on weekends.
