A downtown State College restaurant specializing in customizable Korean noodle dishes has closed after about two years in business. Ramyun Studio, 208 E. Calder Way, permanently closed this week, according to a sign posted in the business' window. "We sincerely thank everyone who visited us and supported us throughout our journey," the sign reads. "Your support and kindness have meant so much to us. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!" Owner Don Kim opened Ramyun Studio in October 2024 with a build-your-own concept for ramyun bowls, or instant noodle dishes similar to ramen, as well as kimchi and kimbap. The restaurant allowed diners to customize their ramyun with fresh ingredients, including broths and a variety of toppings. "By introducing Korean noodles, especially our own unique take on ramyun, we hope to provide the State College community with a taste of Korean tradition,” Kim said at the time. “State College is a diverse town with a vibrant mix of international students and locals, and we see an opportunity to create a space where everyone can come together and experience something new.” Ramyun Studio is the third food business on Calder Way to close in the last three months.
