TabeTomo, the tsukemen specialty shop, will reopen on Wednesday at 131 Avenue A, ending a 5-plus-month odyssey.
The restaurant has been closed since an early morning fire upstairs on April 24. According to ABC 7, five residents sustained minor injuries while fleeing the six-floor building on the NW corner of St. Mark's Place. Firefighters blamed a recovered lithium-ion battery from a residential unit.
Owner Tomo Kubo (below) gave us a tour of the renovated space this past Thursday as his team prepped for the return ... TabeTomo needed a complete gut renovation, with workers stripping the walls down to the studs. (See this post from May 17.)
Opening-day specials include $5 bowls of Ramen.
