In May, Dassara, LLC, applied for an on-site liquor license in front of Community Board 6's Permits and Licences Committee and late last week, an artist was painting a steaming bowl of noodles on the roll down gate.
Judging by the comments of passers-by, this place will fill a real need on Restaurant Row.

Thats a pretty ugly and ghetto looking painting. I saw it the other day and really cheapens the look of the block. Worse than the 16 Handles sign.
I like the painting -- a funky and colorful vibe that livens up the street. I hope the food is good as Chestnut is a tough act to follow.
I agree. It's a bit hippy-ish. And amateurish. Only means no real Asian person is behind this venture. But either at Pok Pok. Who wants hot noodles and alcohol in the dead of summer?
Chestnut was so low key. Oh well. Such is Smith Street.
I'm not sure why the commenter above assumes that the sign means that "no real Asian person" is involved. Graffiti-style street art is not all that uncommon in Japan. Also: Asia is a big place. 40 countries, hundreds of cultures. Ramen is specifically Japanese (in most cases).
In any case: yes, I'll be interested in finding out who the owners and chef are. Ramen seems like a good fit for the neighborhood. Chest nut was a nice place, but similar to a lot of great places that moved into the area subsequently.
