Carson City’s first ramen restaurant to open soon on Topsy Lane

The Carson City area's first ramen restaurant will be opening soon on Topsy Lane according to a sign on the shop’s door.

Bowls n 'Go is owned by Osu Kwon, the owner of Poke Doke and well-known sushi chef.

"We'll be combining Japanese and Korean Food," said Kwon. "Poke Doke has been doing so well and I've really put all my experience from the last 20 years into it."

Ramen has become a very popular cuisine throughout the United States and beyond, with many excellent offerings in Reno. One Reno ramen restaurant, Haru, is actually run by one of Kwon's previous students.

Bowls ‘n Go will be opening next to Poke Doke on Topsy Lane adjacent to the In-n-Out Burger.

In addition to ramen they will also offer Bibimbap, a popular Korean rice dish.

The sign on the door currently says they will be opening in May. However, Kwon said the opening date could change.

"It's all up in the air right now with the shutdown," Kwon said. "But I'm finishing the renovations right now."

Kwon is looking forward to sharing his new culinary undertaking with Carson City and the surrounding communities.
