The owners of the Fiery Crab are branching out with a new Baton Rouge ramen restaurant, which is set to open next week.
Hikari Ramen, a Japanese ramen bar, will open Sept. 12 in the Courtside Crossing Shopping Center on Corporate Boulevard, across the street from Whole Foods.
Hui “Andy” Yang, owner of Fiery Crab, is launching the concept. The restaurant plans to sell eight different ramen options, milk tea and rice burgers. Once the ramen bar obtains its alcohol permit, it will sell sake and other Japanese-inspired alcoholic beverages.
