Mr. KEKE Ramen is set to open at 63 Cooper Square between Seventh Street and St. Mark's Place.
According to the website: "Our mission at Mr. KEKE is to redefine the Asian fast-food landscape ... by seamlessly blending tradition with innovation, ensuring an exhilarating culinary journey."
This is the brand's first Manhattan outpost, serving various ramen dishes, hot pot and dim sum. The menu is available here.
The business started in the late 1990s and has locations in Glen Cove, Great Neck, and Flushing.
This space was previously home to Ise, a Japanese restaurant that closed in June after 36 years in NYC service.
