What's in the fomer ZIng Pizza location?

Last Saturday around 6pm there were about 30-40 people lined up in front of the former Zing Pizza location. Just wondering what's moved in there. Apparently it's popular.

You realize it takes about 15 minutes to make very very good ramen? Ramen is awesomem but only worth it when its basically fast food. These lines are a good sign there's unmet need, hopefully it'll become a trend :)

Not if you're making your own broth. That stuff takes time.

dashi takes about an hour and can be frozen. miso broth takes about 30 seconds.

But the super-silky, uberporky stock with the little bits in and that bears a stunning resemblance to http://www.seriouseats.com/recipes/2012/02/rich-and-creamy-tonkotsu-ramen-broth-from-scratch-recipe.html (http://www.seriouseats.com/recipes/2012/02/rich-and-creamy-tonkotsu-ramen-broth-from-scratch-recipe.html)? That takes TIME, man. Like, several hours at the very least.

Of course, part of eating out is also the experience. If waiting in line and sitting in a small restaurant elbow-to-elbow with other diners is really not your bag, no matter how good the food is, then don't go. There's tons of other people more than willing to take your spot.

Yes to the super silky, uberporky stock.
