FOOD Alumni offer tasty twist on college diet staple I DANI BRADY dbrady@kansan.con All college students have found themselves heating up a bowl of water and tossing in a 65-cent package of salty powder and a dry slab of noodles at some point or another. We may not be proud of it, but ramen noodles taste delicious because we're lazy, broke college students. Alumni Tim and Shantel Grace are attempting to change the way Lawrence views these Asian noodles with Ramen Bowls, located at 125 E. 10th St. Why would we want to pay more for ramen when we can make it in our dorm or small apartment kitchen? It's essentially the same reason we are willing to pay a little extra at an authentic Italian restaurant instead of eating a can of Chef Boyardee. Tim and Shantel met at the University, fell in love, got married and moved to Hawaii shortly after graduation. Living there for almost five years, they became immersed in the culture, food, language and tradition of the island. After having their first child, they returned to Kansas and decided to introduce what they learned about island cuisine to the rest of the Lawrence community. The couple, with no previous restaurant experience, was trained by a ramen consultant from Singapore and has hired professionally qualified ramen chefs. The noodles date back to imperial China and require many hours of preparation. "We wanted to open a restaurant with a playful atmosphere that doesn't take food too seriously," Shantel said. "What most people don't realize is that we make our broths from scratch and begin roasting our pork bones as early as 5 a.m." Shantel said. The restaurant is currently in their "soft opening," only offering a portion of the menu in order to get a feel for what will work and what won't. I was pleasantly surprised after eating at Ramen Bowls. At first I couldn't imagine why I would pay for a package of ramen that I could make at home in three Difficulty Level ★★★ I ordered gyoza, which are pork-filled dumplings, fresh noodles with pieces of chicken in a creamy chicken broth called haoole ramen, and fried rice tossed with egg, carrots and peas all for under $20. The waiters wear uniforms resembling kimonos, lanterns hang from the ceiling, and island music plays throughout the small and intimate location providing an authentic atmosphere. minutes, but the restaurant offers so much more than stringy, sodium-enriched noodles. Incorporating Asian and island cuisine they serve dishes besides ramen, including egg rolls, dumplings and fried rice. Shantel and Tim are ready for the quirks and common mishaps that come with opening a new restaurant. They are happy to hear that more people actually know or have heard of a ramen bar before and they have been pleased with the positive response from their customers, Shantel said. Ramen Bowls plans to introduce their full menu this weekend as part of their grand opening. — Edited by Jessica Mitchell 10/10 WANT ENTERTAINMENT UPDATES ALL DAY LONG?
