There’s been a lot of chatter following the liquor license activity for KEN KEN RAMEN, which will be moving into a brick-and-mortar space in the Mission (just around the corner from The Corner, where it was holding its pop-up nights). Ironically, the space was a former noodle shop, and the build-out is reportedly almost complete—look for a potential December opening. You can read all the details about the owners and the new space on Grub Street and Eater. 3378 18th St. at Mission.
Meanwhile, Tenderblog reports on KARE-KEN, a Japanese curry spot due to open in the former Eden’s space. It should be opening very soon, you can track their updates on Twitter. Hours will be Tue-Sat 5:30pm-10:30pm. 552 Jones St. at Geary, 415-292-5273.
