JINYA specializes in ramen. Ramen is widely considered a Japanese dish, but there’s much debate over whether the noodles were first made in Japan or China. Many say the dishes as invented in China but made popular/trendy in Japan.
Though many credit New York’s Momofuku with making the dish popular in the U.S., the ramen “boom” came about in California when more than 200 spots opened in the area in 2012 alone.
They’re going into 6 Grand Corner Avenue – across from South Moon Under and the coming soon Lanzhou Hand Pulled Noodles. They’ll open later this year.
The bubble tea craze is hitting full stride in MoCo!
Yamachan started over a decade ago as a Japanese raw noodle manufacturer that is operated under Japanese management in Northern California. They now have restaurants in California as well as the Tidewater area of Virginia.
Their Rockville restaurant, located at 201 E. Middle Lane in Rockville Town Square, will be attached to Pearl Lady Tea.
According to the Rio Washingtonian Facebook page, the authentic Chinese eatery will open later this year across from Dick’s Sporting Goods on Grand Corner Ave.
