Japanese ramen noodle bar group Kanada-Ya has said its branch in Ealing will open at the end of this month (September 2022).
The announcement comes, nearly a year after the international group said it was set to open at the end of 2021 at the newly launched Filmworks development which offers residential homes, leisure outlets and a planned Picturehouse cinema.
Originally established in Japan in 2009, Kanada-Ya opened its first UK branch in 2015.
Last year, when Kanada-Ya announced it was coming to Ealing and Filmworks, Aaron Burgess-Smith, director of Kanada-Ya UK, said of their excitement of being in the borough: “Filmworks will bring a range of high-quality and diverse operators to Ealing, with the retention of the art-deco façade and reintroduction of the cinema proving to be a huge draw. We’re excited to be part of that and building relationships with both the Filmworks residents and neighbouring operators.”
Mr Burgess-Smith added: “Ealing is well placed to accommodate an authentic and respected ramen restaurant and we’re looking forward to serving the sizeable Japanese community in and around the area, many of whom have supported Kanada-Ya since our opening.”
