Ani Ramen House expanded into New York City to Brookfield Place at 230 Vesey St.

This is the eighth location of the Montclair-based ramen spot and will serve lunch and dinner daily, with to-go and delivery options. It’s Ani Ramen’s first expansion across state lines.

Brookfield Place joins Ani Ramen’s other full-service locations in Montclair, Jersey City, Summit, Maplewood, Cranford, New Brunswick, and the quick-service location at District Kitchen inside Harborside Atrium in Jersey City.

Luck Sarabhayavanija, founder of Ani Ramen and its parent company Montclair Hospitality Group, said, “Many of us at MHG got our start in New York, and it has always been our goal to bring Ani Ramen here. We’re excited to be among Brookfield’s Hudson Eats dining options, and we’re so grateful for our customers’ support that enabled this move.”

Further locations are planned in Larchmont and Tarrytown north of New York City, and Princeton and Newark as well.
