StreetLevel: Oodles of Noodles for 4th Avenue
South Brooklyn’s first ramen restaurant will open in the storefront vacated by a Chinese take-out joint on 4th Avenue and Degraw. The owners of Aussie-themed gastropub Sheep Station, which is a block away, are behind the planned restaurant.

South Brooklyn’s first ramen restaurant will open in the storefront vacated by a Chinese take-out joint on 4th Avenue and Degraw. The owners of Aussie-themed gastropub Sheep Station, which is a block away, are behind the planned restaurant. The menu will be “all ramen,” according to one of the future restaurant’s proprietors, and they’re hoping to open sometime in November. Between the Australian fare at Sheep Station, the Ethiopian cuisine at Ghenet Brooklyn, and this forthcoming ramen emporium, 4th Avenue is slowly becoming a feast of many flavors, and, happily, giving Slopers a few alternatives to the restaurant row scene an avenue away.

Just wanted to clarify (because Ghenet is great and I want you to be able to find it)- Sheep Station and Ghenet are on the corner of 4th Ave. and Douglass, not DeGraw. Kitty corner from the BP station.

For insight into the depth of noodle culture in Japan see Juzo Itami’s “Tampopo” (Dandelion), (on my personal top ten list of films). Ramen is long overdue in Brooklyn!
I *love* Australian ramen!
Thanks Santa.
Hey, I believe you, Prodigal. I can’t see why anyone would lie about ramen.
ENY-
Ramen culture is way beyond dried ramen you get at a deli 3 for a buck.
Its real food, trust me.

IF these guys do it right ( I have my doubts) it’ll really be a nice addition to Brooklyn food.
Thanks, Prodigal. I guess I need to get around more. The only ramen I’m familiar with is the crap you buy in the grocery store.
East New York-
“I had no idea you could build an entire restaurant around ramen”
Welcome to the food world outside America.
In Japan, “ramen shops” are as common as bodegas are here.
Its also kind of a food trend now here in the States, esp. NYC.
