Welcome

Ramen, a traditional Japanese dish consisting of a meat- or fish-based broth, noodles and a range of vegetables and protein, has grown in popularity in recent years, but Lin believes the balance between authenticity and modernism has yet to be struck. As such, his forthcoming restaurant, Zundo Ramen & Donburi, will serve ramen which he calls “incomparable” to Greater Cincinnati’s current offerings.

Renovating the space on 12th St., near Queen City Radio, in September 2017, building a full bar and beautifying the walls with new brick, Japanese décor and paintings by local Cincinnati artists.

Zundo will tend to the late-night crowd, plans to keep the doors open until 2:30 a.m. on the weekends. He will also open at 11:30 a.m. throughout the week to give OTR’s nine-to-five clique the option to spend lunch with a bowl of hot ramen or donburi.
