MANEKI RAMEN TO LAUNCH IN BIRMINGHAM

Reading Time: 2 minutes

The award winning ‘Japanese Restaurant of The Year’ has announced the launch of its second site, coming to Birmingham in 2025

Maneki Ramen, a popular, Japanese-inspired restaurant currently based in Worcester, has announced that a second site will open in Birmingham in Spring next year.

Since 2020, Maneki, which is part of the ART Hospitality group, has been serving up authentic Japanese fare, leading to the restaurant winning the title of Japanese Restaurant of the Year 2023, at the Asian Restaurant and Takeaway Awards 2023.

Popular dishes include Tebasaki Wings with Ginger and Furikake, Roast Duck Ramen with Sesame Bean Sprouts and Pak Choi, Katsu Curry with Sushi Rice and a choice of protein, and Sesame Miso Shoyu with Charred Sweetcorn and Nori.

Maneki Ramen Birmingham will be based in the Jewellery Quarter, with the 2,000 square foot site having room for 70 covers, plus an additional 40 seats downstairs. Food collection and delivery options will also be available, with the new menu featuring most of the popular classics, with a few upgrades exclusive to Birmingham.

A carefully curated drinks menu will include Suntory Haku Vodka, natural wines, and cocktails such as the popular tipple ‘East & West’, which contains Gin, Yuzu, Hibiscus, Lime and Orange, perfect for pre-dinner drinks or post-dining catch ups.

The new venue will create 20 new jobs for local people, with team being led by Head Chef Pete Dovaston. After spending time living in Tokyo, New York and China, Pete uses traditional techniques he learnt, particularly in Japan, to create Maneki Ramen’s menus, using locally sourced ingredients to keep the dishes seasonal and fresh.

Gearing up for the launch of Maneki Ramen Birmingham, Pete said: “Birmingham has a vibrant foodie scene, so opening a new restaurant in the city has been one of our business aspirations for some time. The new restaurant will be in the heart of the Jewellery Quarter, we can’t wait to become part of the community and bring all the Maneki dishes people know and love, as well as introducing some extra new and exciting ones. We’ll see you soon Birmingham!”
