[Updated] New, larger Rai Rai Ken opens Sunday on East 10th Street

As you may have noticed, the small noodle bar has moved a few storefronts to the east here between Second Avenue and First Avenue... into the former Teriyaki Boy space...

After a few tasting parties, per the sign, the place opens to the public on Sunday...

...Meanwhile, the former Rai Ren Ken space at 214, is empty at the moment...

The former location(s) are on the May CB3/SLA agenda:

Corporate Change (not heard at committee)
• Rai Rai Ken (Sobaya Restaurant Inc), 214 E 10th St (b)
• Curry-Ya (Shinko Foods Inc), 214 E 10th St (wb)

One neighbor heard that this would become a sake bar. Trying to get this one straightened out...

Ev Grieve reader Michael notes that he ate in the new space last weekend... no special invitation or anything. It was just open.
