University Avenue noodle shop U:Don is planning a second location in Capitol Hill. CHS reports that while the lease has yet to be finalized, founder Tak Kurachi wants to begin building out a space in the 12th Avenue Arts building near 12th Avenue and Pine Street come summer.
The new U:Don location will adapt the same uber-efficient counter service as its three-year-old U-District sibling. Expect hand-made noodles and tempura along with new options on an expanded menu that includes sake and Japanese beers. U:Don is shooting for a fall opening. Check Facebook for progress reports.
