| Is Gmen Ramen Closed?
Anyone know what is happening with Gmen? Did they get shut down for good? They haven't been open for at least a month...

I think they did, and one of the G-Men chefs works at Nanchuu now so Nanchuu also serves ramen now

As I mentioned in another thread they've been closed since @ least May 12th. And like others have mentioned Nanchuu is suppose to be an "Izakaya ramen" now. I highly doubt they'll re-open g-men. Too bad, I enjoyed going there...

i did rennovations inside nanchu and the chefs are the same since i started work so they might be the new or the old staff. they haf added ramen into their menu, i think the owner is still part of the gmen group (guessing) cuz he seems quite fluent in jap/canto. also he seems to be with the company for a long time.

Walked by there yesterday and there was a bailiff seizure notice on the door. Guess they are closed for good.

Although i love ramen, i really liked Nanchuu's regular tapas stuff... now its all gone. They really shouldn't of combined it, rather, they should of just tried to open up G-men somewhere else instead of ruining an already established Izakaya.
Oh well....

Dang, that's really disappointing. There's a lot of crap izakaya out there.
I wish somebody would open up a place where the food was cheap and the drinks reasonable and the servers were hot.
Is that too much to ask?
I think this needs to happen. *ahem*
