Airi Ramen Set For Expansion With A Side Of Serenity

The esteemed Airi Ramen , known for its authentic and innovative noodle dishes, is set to expand its operations with a substantial new establishment at 9217 Eagle Dr #100, Mont Belvieu, TX 77523 . Adjacent to this new noodle haven, the Airi Tea Bar is brewing its own story located at Suite #200 , right next door.

This new venture promises to deliver the same dedication to quality and flavor that has made Airi Ramen a beloved choice among food aficionados. And the new Airi Tea Bar we expect will complement the robust flavors of ramen with the serene and refined experience of a traditional tea house. While Airi Ramen covers an expansive 1,800 square feet with a first-time interior build out, Airi Tea Bar will cozy up in a 1,200 square foot space designed to immerse visitors in the world of tea, featuring a range of both classic and innovative brews.

Mingfeng Cai , the owner of both establishments, has remained tight-lipped about the finer details of the upcoming projects. Airi Ramen, with its commitment to the art of ramen-making, has always provided a window into the soulful preparation of Japanese cuisine which should carry over to its Mont Belvieu location. As for Airi Tea Bar, one can speculate that it will offer a variety of tea experiences that could range from peaceful tea ceremonies to trendy bubble teas, aiming to attract a diverse clientele ranging from tea connoisseurs to those simply seeking solace in a cup of tea after a delicious meal.

Both concepts have a permit filed showing a May 2024 start date with a project October 2024 completion.
