Back in highschool and college, I used to waitress at Ajisen Ramen in Chelsea. I became close friends with everyone at the restaurant (and am still in touch with my old boss to this day!)
After graduating university, I ended up moving into an apartment right above the ramen shop I used to waitress at. “Ramen Cats” was born, and is currently displayed in 5 noodle shops across NYC! (Ajisen Ramen Chelsea, Ajisen Ramen Chinatown, Xi’an Famous Foods @ 14th Street, Ramen Takumi, and Raku it’s Japanese II)
